Tired of Monster Hunter, too?

I tend to believe that if you don't vote, you should keep your mouth shut (unless it's about a lack of good options to vote for, like with American Presidents!). With games, I hate it when people talk about it without having played or bought it. So I'll keep my mouth shut. If Skullgirls becomes appealing (unlikely), I'll buy in and then talk about it.

Farming for 2 Lagia Sapphires is suffering.

And I can see that stance you'd take. It's a matter of personal morals I suppose.

I prefer the word "taste". I abhor morality.

I try not to let "farming" for something dominate my mind too often. I prefer to hunt whatever I feel like, and then see what I can make with it from time to time. Only when I really crave an upgrade (like this blue hammer that needs 80 earth crystals) do I farm.

I don't know, removing a black face just because some subset of people make racist (if you want to go all the way and call it that) jokes seems a bit unfair. Whats stopping people doing that to any other emoticon?

Might as well ban all black people from streaming just in case someone decides to be a troll and make a racist remark at what's going on on stream.

That's an analogy, not a slippery slope argument. It would be come a slippery slope argument if Enzo said "Wow, they banned the black man icon? I bet a ban on black people on stream is coming next." By saying "they might as well" instead, he's postulating a analogous relationship between those two statements instead of inferring a causal connection.

It's still Twitch's prerogative to do it if they feel that people are abusing it. I think the entire situation is dumb, but it is what it is.
 
Christ, you people still actually paying attention to the fucking chat.

It's like complaining someone plucked your favorite peanut out of the turd whirler.

NP.

And while Twitch can do what it wants, it's also a service that exists solely for its viewers. Our opinions have some value, as demonstrated by additions like the floeface.

Sometimes I lazily leave it open and see stuff. I have an obsession with experiencing the horrors of the human mind, so I will click on gifs like the thickasian one and revel in its glorious terrors.

It can be fun when you don't take it seriously, kind of like 4chan. A lot like 4chan.

Otherwise small chats like FGTV's when the players are grinding it out and not talking to the chat or Bum's are good because you can get some pretty good conversations about the game going. Generally the less people in the chat, the smaller the chance of there being spammers and "steam monsters" and it being better.
 
Cool, I missed out on most of the panel. Looking forward to watching it. Thanks, MarkMan

And chats are fun, never understand why anyone would get mad at it. It is what it is.

Chats are fucking mindless past like, 50 people. And then there's people fishing out logs and bringing em back HERE like confused kitties, dropping the dripping, hairy mess on the front porch like "hey guys, look what I brought back! isn't this entertaining? Oh, it's not? Well shit, what do I know, I huff colon voluntarily btw did you hear they got rid of MY FAVORITE EMOJI WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS AMERICA AIN'T IT BAH GAWD"

Whatever justifications you use to keep yourself shoving your face cheeks deep into that particular fucking toilet, I ain't buyin em. You can keep em. To quote Chappelle, "Enjoy yo Sef" and go with God or whatever deity you choose. It just astounds me that people in this thread, largely intelligent people, thoughtful people, insightful people when it comes to this game, still think there's some worth to that chat window, when there's gotta be some rational part of your working brain that knows for a fact it is one of the most brain-damaged, repugnant peanut galleries left online.

Oh you have a rusted weapon I assume. I upgraded the Rusted Lance to max and it sucks balls wtf. grinding it out for materials in MH is much like training in a FG to me it's fun until you're stuck on one missing link. In fact I treat MH mechanics like FG mechanics.

Anyways I just need one more sapphire to complete my Helios X armor ...

It's really not that serious for anyone or as big of a moral crime to society. Sometimes I want to be enamoured by what stream monsters come up with and how quick, and how hundreds and thousands can move in unison to whatever is going on on stream. Stream chats would make a nice social experiment. Sometimes I get a craving for food I know is terrible for my health. Sometimes I watch Jersey Shore. And the best part is it has no effect on my ability to function otherwise! Sometimes you have to balance righteousness with the ratchet. And learn to chill, bruh.

Nobody eats a turd in any of that. They just huff them. Eating turds is silly.

It's a turd whirler. I don't stare at turd whirlers for funsies. You do. Again - I don't care how you justify it to yourself. That's between you and your turd whirler. It's just every now and again, this thread becomes almost solely about the chat and what's happening in the chat and tonight was the night I decided to weigh in on how fucking dumb it is. Is that "Taking things too seriously?" Nah, not really. I'm not filling out a petition or anything. I'm just bullshitting with people at 1:30 in the morning on a Sunday about the absurdity of caring that some dude's fat face is no longer some sort of spam weapon in an ever-flowing river of mindlessness.

"Sometimes I like huffing turds" is your justification? Okay. Doesn't make it a good one, but okay. Just know that running back to this forum and talking about what you saw in the sewer earlier (or complaining that your favorite turds have somehow been jostled about in a way that makes you unhappy) is all sorts of dumb sounding.

That fucker.

I'm kinda/sorta still considering picking up the bundle that comes with the fightstick, BUT:

1) Everyone seems to be so-so on whether it's going to be a quality build
2) The lights are kinda obnoxious.

I've already got some MvC TEs, so I know I don't need it, but I still wanna check it out.

If you already got sticks It's probably a little excessive then. Don't walk down the path of markman! wait... NO, THAT'S AWESOME
 
Xian takes KOF in the last set 3-1. Hopefully Xian isn't too tired for the rest of today. Streamers working hard, staying up til 4 then they gotta get back up in 4 hours.

In the big scheme of things, the vast majority of people who watch twitch streams wouldn't know or care who floe or this other guy is.

The risk/reward equation for this decision considering potential future partnerships seems pretty straight forward.

I really do not understand chat participation. It's a sea of repeated crap, and I wonder what turd-brained monkey sits at a computer using their one post to say the same shit some other guy did because they think that meme is funny, and they do it for like 6 hours.

Likely so.
 
So Xian has propelled himself in the last half year or so into an elite club, being one of the few people to be top level in many games.

I think it's somewhat akin to the crowds at any large sporting event. I mean at football (soccer) games you've had hundreds of thousands of people singing memes like "The referee's a wanker!" because they think it's funny and appropriate at the time. People just like the sense that they're getting excited watching an event with other people and want to support the things that they like with their approval.

Admittedly it's not as ideal a format as chanting at sporting events, is open to abuse and some folks take it too far but I don't think it's inherently a bad thing as it obviously increases the enjoyment of watching events for those that do it. It's also pretty cool in situations like when you have everyone go "YAY!" when Spooky sets them free, showing him how much they all enjoy his productions.

Exactly. Its not a place for in depth discussion about the event. Just like you wouldnt have in depth discussion about a sporting event at the event itself

This is pretty much how I view it. Which is why I always think streamers who are extremely anal about their stream chat is funny.
 
People taking stream chats too seriously yet again. You guys would be shocked to know that most of those stream monsters/trolls are normal, sane people just looking for a good and fun time while watching their favorite fighting games.

Last time I stream monstered (which in my definition just means watching a stream and posting in the stream chat) was when FChamp came back from Final Round and was discussing patches. I have never posted in the stream chat of a big tournament but I will occasionally post in a smaller stream chat where there is a chance of posts being seen and discussed.
 
Hahahaha I get not wanting to use stream chat but holy shit, the vitriol being used to discuss it here is just as bad as the chat itself. It's a text chat about a video game. Treat it like one.

I enjoy monstering because it's fun to be part of a group. It's fun to know the memes and belong and be with other people having a good time. It's like watching Rocky Horror Picture Show or The Room with hardcore fans. Sure, nobody is saying anything new or exciting about it, but it still adds a level of entertainment.
