Greatest modder around? I'll have to go with Trainwiz, I don't think anyone can constantly produce quality mods that are absolutely immersive, non-handholding, not to mention lore-friendly to the overall lore of the Elder Scrolls universe. Now about Trainwiz the character. Trainwiz himself lives in the real world where people do act like he does, people are cold in the real world, they crack rude jokes etc its a fact of life. I myself frequent the places where Trainwiz himself frequents and its attitude is a far cry from how the nexus goes on with its day, nobody is hurt over anything for its part of the norm there. Now he doesn't just go out of his way to mock people for entertainment or whatever reason you could come up with. If something is well made and popular he wont go out of his way to make fun of such things but if it has in his opinion unwarranted attention he'll go out of his way like a critic and do as a harsh critic does. To say Trainwiz is always a harsh and cold person day in and out would be wrong for there are time where he is a harsh and cold person and there are times where he has helped countless people outside of the nexus modding community and yes there is a modding community outside the nexus. In my own opinion Trainwiz maybe a cold person but hes quite the likable fellow once you get to know him. Figured I'd give another side to this one sided argument. P.S. About the "Legion of Followers". They're just his friends from the chat he frequents, quite a few of which share or have similar opinions as he does. They'll do as they do with or without Trainwiz, making him a boogyman for the actions of many others doesn't really make sense.

The U.S. National debt. Ideas how to help bring it down...
Flintlockecole replied to colourwheel's topic in Debates
Nationalizing the Federal Reserve would be a good first step then taxing the living hell out of anything made in China (or other nations with large sweatshop operations) by American companies. There is no real easy way of getting rid of the debt unless a revolt takes place then declaring the debt null and void and even then that'll still hurt. -
British man arrested for making jokes about Mandela on the internet.
Flintlockecole replied to Beriallord's topic in Debates
I do not often come to this part of the forum for various reasons I'd rather not list. I myself do not own a TV unless you count my computer monitor for I could care less what people dumb themselves down with these days. Now I actually had to go looking into this subject of this Phil fellow. So he make several anti-homosexual comments at a church or something or other and everyone is outraged? My question is why in the world is everyone getting all angry about things that do not concern them or better yet why are people giving two s***s about it? By the Bill of Rights his right to say whatever the hell he wants to is protected by it regardless if it hurts someone porcelain feelings or whatever stirs up the modern folk as I call them. Personally speaking I couldn't care for what he has said or what he will say in the future. It doesn't effect me and I'm quite sure it doesn't effect any of you in the least bit for the fellow is a Television personality, not someone who'll knock on your door and hit you with a big stick several times over and really give you something to cry about. I've decided to post the first amendment of the Bill of Rights for those not familiar with it. Bill of Rights Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances -
Lanceor's turn to have crash problems!
Flintlockecole replied to Lanceor's topic in Oblivion's Mod troubleshooting
Might be due to both of those games not liking SLI/Crossfire. I had to disable one of my cards due to a crashing problem.- 12 replies

Welcome, it is not every day oneself meets someone with five years of Japanese under their belt. I myself have a years worth and an abrupt crash course on it. Anyways, enjoy yourself and the community itself is pretty friendly.

Rights, Freedoms and Safety in today's United States
Flintlockecole replied to Lisnpuppy's topic in Debates
My two cents. Governments are people who we put into place to serve us. They can pass all the bills that they want but none of them will truly keep us safe, just take our rights away. There is risk in everything oneself does, going to the market in Boston is less of a risk than Baghdad for example. Risk is something a good majority of people have forgotten if I can say so myself. P.S. No one should ever give up rights for a slight bit of perceived safety, those that would willingly do so are no better than cattle. -

Has the Recession hurt anyone here and If so is it still lingering ?
Flintlockecole replied to kvnchrist's topic in Debates
Long story short I still do not have a job aside from the odd jobs I do to keep going and that market itself is drying up. If things are looking up for myself I cannot say. -
If they are so dedicated they should embrace the idea i have proposed. If not they are not that serious about wanting to own a firearm. A firearm is not a field of study. Mathematics is a field of study, Anthropology is a field of study, History is a field of study. Firearms can be used as an example in all of those but it is not a field of study. I see firearms as a tool for hunting (and survival in certain cases) and a hobby whether if its plinking tin cans with a .22lr or hitting steel plates at one thousand yards. http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/00511/wdfw00511.pdf Right there is a link to a Washington State Firearms Safety, The Law & You, Basic Safety, General Laws, And Regulations And right here is something I pulled out of a book I had been given when I had to renew my licenses. The evolution of firearms, major parts, types and actions Basic firearms safety practices and ammunition types Firearm action types and their operations Safe handling and carry procedures Operating firearm actions Firing techniques and procedures Care of non-restricted firearms Responsibilities of the firearms owner/user Safe storage, display, transportation and handling of non-restricted firearms If that somehow does not meet satisfaction then I'm at a complete loss and to add to that I've been the victim of firearm misuse and I still advocate safe, legal and responsible ownership of firearms.

@Colour Eh, Most are dedicated to their firearms where its a natural habit to keep themselves safe as well as those around them. I.E not pointing it at people or having the thing loaded during transport/storage, finger off the trigger and such.

All history has shown when it comes to firearm deaths is the user either was too busy killing some chap for his country or being a complete fool with his firearm. A child can be taught how to be responsible with a firearm in under an hour. By the time I was six I could have (now) my Enfield stripped down and put right back together. Most people who legally own firearms generally keep them well locked up and very well know them like the back of their hand, in layman's terms they know the damage it can do both physically and mentally. Its those who don't abide by laws that do willy-nilly with whatever they obtained it in a dark ally way over yonder who are the ones who go off and do foolish things with their firearms. More laws as I said before aren't going to stop this sort of activity, anyone who owns guns should be storing them properly, away from their ammunition and unloaded and locked up tight. That is the breakdown of accidental deaths in Canada from Stats Canada. Maybe there should be a four year course on not eating the things that lie beneath your sink or properly using a ladder?
-
In the short run I would agree with you. But if you look at things in the long run if people were more educated (needing atleast 4 years of education on firearms safty, history, and accountability, etc... to atleast own a simple handgun) this would probably dramatically if not absolutely reduce violent crimes involving firearms without out needing to touching the 2nd amendment. This is not excluding cooperation between various government agencies to enforce already existing gun laws and extreme restriction on assault rifles. People who wish to own firearms like its a way of life should need to be so hardcore about ownership to the point its an accomplishment to them to have the privilege to say they have atleast a bachelor's degree in firearms to fully appreciate and understand their right. A three day course suffices for the Federal Government in Canada for anything non-restricted, another eight hours for Pistols and Tactical looking weapons (restricted). To say the least it's common sense when it comes down to dealing with firearms. Safe and proper storage of firearms is more than half the battle. Out of my own curiosity how would a year or two of the history of firearms aid in reducing violent crime let alone how do you spread several simple rules over a course of four years?
-
I'll put my two cents here... Don't get me wrong when I say this but I put full blame upon mother in all this. All the senseless death could have been outright prevented if she had properly stored her weapons away. Reform on gun laws isn't going to do much in preventing people obtaining them. What needs to happen is people need to learn how to safely store their weapons, and for those who don't store said firearms properly be held accountable fully for what happens with said firearms. A little knowledge goes a far way. I myself own well over twelve guns and they are stored behind three locks (four if you count the separate bin for ammunition). Also note I'm currently in Canada where its illegal to improperly store a firearm (In other words it must be stored within a solid gun locker).

To say the least I like it and Pag pretty much hit the nail on the head there.
