Thanks, silver :)
Well, I've remixed the above song by Taha to enable a listening by our US friends.
We'll see soon whether or not YouTube really wants to legalize the operation. If not, there goes the sound...

The Ring of the Nibelungs ( Latin / German ) - English lyrics
The Ring of the Nibelungs
[Chorus:] Eternity has been raped.
I will hold you in the shadows.
No one can leave the empire.
When I touch you from the left
you'll be captured in my eternal flame of darkness.
Eternity has been raped.
I will hold you in the shadows.
No one can leave the empire.
When I touch you from the left
you'll be captured in my eternal flame of darkness.
Eternity has been raped.
Bloody revenge. Treason and robbery.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Forged of Rhine gold, forced by the Gods,
The curse is damning - the Ring of the Nibelungs.
Come to me! Come to me in my dark realm!
Come to me! ... in my dark realm!
Souls are burned. My blood runs dry.
Heroes are dead and the song is cruel.
Forged of Rhine gold, forced by the Gods,
The curse is damning - the Ring of the Nibelungs.
[Chorus:] Eternity has been raped.
I will hold you in the shadows.
No one can leave the empire.
When I touch you from the left
you'll be captured in my eternal flame of darkness.
Come to me! Come to me in my dark realm!
Eternity has been raped.
I will hold you in the shadows.
No one can leave the empire.
When I touch you from the left
you'll be captured in my eternal flame in darkness.
[Chorus:] Eternity has been raped.
I will hold you in the shadows.
No one can leave the empire.
When I touch you from the left
you'll be captured in my eternal flame of darkness.
Come to me! Come to me in my dark realm!
Come to me! Come to me in my dark realm!

There is somethin' strange going on with this generation, grannywils. The border between reality and virtuality gets blurred for the first time. An ongoing process towards more and more violence, learned in the virtuality and executed - in the reality. The ability to communicate without the motivation to derive an immediate benefit from it gets lost and is understood as outrageous disturbance, to be answered aggressively. And aggression is always the prestage of violence, but now without any clear risk estimate cos there should be few saves somewhere for a reload of reality, if necessary. Unfortunately there are none. Illogicalness prevails. In this way I understand all this, probably wrong.

Yup, silver :thumbsup:
This track I know from the Zimmer album. Think it was the end credit song of Black Hawk Down, a film not to be made during the Bush era ^^ The US military philosophy of the 'Leave No Man Behind'- the Somalian skinnies had counted on that. I still believe to remember one or two atrocious images of mangled and bloated bodies of dead US soldiers pulled as trophies under great warcry through the streets of Mogadishu in October 1993, scenes not part of the movie but doubtlessly of the back then uncensored News. I was not yet seven years old...
I keep radio silence for a while cos I feel nauseated

Sorry to hear that, grannywils. However, you'll hear the stuff later, God willing :thumbsup:

Barra Barra ( "Out! Out!" ) - English lyrics
Out! Out!
Sadness, hate and the reign of arbitrary
Out! Out!
Destruction, jealousy; there is no trust left
Out! Out!
Thirst and people are unlucky
Out! Out!
No honour, but oppression and slavery
Out! Out!
Rivers were dried up and seas have ruined everything
Out! Out!
Stars are switched off and the sun went down
Out! Out!
There are no trees left and the birds stopped singing
Out! Out!
There are neither days, nor nights left, darkness only
Out! Out!
Hell ; there is no beauty left
Out! Out!
Out! Out!
Time has increased, there is no honour left
Out! Out!
Ruin and war and the blood is flowing
Out! Out!
There are only walls left, walls standing up
Out! Out!
Fear and people remain silent
Out! Out!
Sadness, hate and the reign of arbitrary
Out! Out!
Destruction and jealousy ; there is no trust left
Out! Out!
Rivers were dried up and seas have ruined everything
Out! Out!
stars are switched off and the sun went down
Out! Out! (in a low voice, plus crescendo)
Out! Out!
There is neither good, nor happiness, nor luck anymore
Out! Out!
There are no trees left; the birds stopped singing
Out! Out!
There are neither nights, nor days left; darkness only
Out! Out!
Desolation, hell, there is no beauty left
Out! Out!
(Silence)
Out! Out!
Time has increased, there is no honour left
Out! Out!
Ruin and war and the blood is flowing
Out! Out!
There are only walls left, walls standing up
Out! Out!
Sadness, hate and the reign of arbitrary
Out! Out!
Destruction and jealousy; there is no trust left
Out! Out!
Stars are switched off, and the sun went down
Out! Out!
There is neither good, nor happiness, nor luck left
Out! Out!
There are no trees left; birds stopped singing
Out! Out!
There are neither nights nor days left; darkness only
Out! Out!
Desolation, hell, there is no beauty left
Out! Out!
Time has increased, there is no honour left
Ouutt! Ouutt! Ouutt! Ouutt!

Teaching has to happen in the forefront of an event, when the other one is not yet part of the game and the rules.
This goes for the MMORPG. In the MORPG of old, where a single player worked as the host for up to a dozen of others on a zone server with thousands of players is was still possible to throw out fools and to form closed groups. The last match of this kind was played in late 2006, if memory serves.
-
There are a lot of people here who have experienced all this during the last decade. That's not the problem. The problem is - we've taught absolutely nothing to those who came after us, cos we've simply left the online scene, huh. Oh yes, we were indeed the better players in those days - holy warriors under the banner of self-righteousness, for sure. But probably because of social experiences we've made already in Lan sessions in the late 90s - and that's all.
-
Guess we don't need new social studies on infantile brutality, cos that's a natural feature of childhood as such.
"Children in power" is the last thing one could really love. Ever heard of child soldiers, the Khmer Rouge or the armed kids of Africa? The Lord of the Flies? Forget it! All we need is a restauration of parental abilities to teach the own children a better, a more social life than the own which too often follows the doctrine of social darwinism - the survival of the fittest, the loudest and the most brutal.
-
There never ever was somethin' like honour and respect in an MMORPG.
The only difference to a MORPG is the massive appearance of barracudas and their omnipresent muahahaha warcry - the missing M.
In so far your experiences aren't that new, the scene is known since 2001, and the final results for those who had a good will as well.
People merely randomly communicate on their negative experiences, and when they do the others don't listen for they know better, but only to share these experiences later...
You might try out Lan versions to play online with known folks and a responsible host that has a name!

I'm not an old timer, but I understand your feelings, nosisab.
One day it will be a much-noticed expedition, when the Chosen One moves his ass away from the screen to find out whether or not the real world of which the legend goes has ever really existed.
Sometimes, man gets a second chance.

Thanks for listening, gannywils and silver :)
The wood elf is an earlier FaceGen conversion with special emphasis on mimic art.
She was made before the general takeover by anime figures - a blockbuster of old.
The 2nd track reminds me of the jazz pubs in Frankfurt ("Mainhattan"). Well done!
Some experimental Hip Hop

I will speak when I have a mind to do so and not when ordered to. I have made a perfectly valid analogy to a situation that occurred in my own country to articulate why I find the statement of the Coffee Party concerning
"we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them."
to be disturbing. I know that I am perhaps not considered to be very clever, but I have a right to express my opinion.
Of course you have all rights, like all of us, but you have alleged an interesting argument without any verification. An analogy based upon an argument from silence, unfortunately. But in that way a debate doesn't work. So, you better deliver these facts known to you in addition as soon as it is possible for you, simply to avoid a permanent negative impression. Do us the favor, I'm just curious :thumbsup:
-
Well, if you already went through all that in Britain, ginnyfizz, then explain to us the programmatic differences between the Coffee Party and the Real Coffee Party in the USA and show verifiable accordances to the political constellation in Britain. Thanks in advance.

Na Laetha Gael M'óige ( "The Bright Days of My Youth" ) - English lyrics
The Bright Days of My Youth
Looking back over my youth,
I was content,
Without knowledge of death
I was young, without time,
Now I'm sorrowful,
The day is long past.
Alas and woe, oh.
The bright days of my youth
They were full of hope
The great journey that was before me then
Was what was destined to be, bye bye.
Now I'm sorrowful,
The day is long past.
Alas and woe, oh.
The bright days of my youth
They were full of hope
The great journey that was before me then
Was what was destined to be, bye bye.
Now I am sorrowful,
The day is long past.
Alas and woe, oh.

Hope you're right, grannywils. Though I fear that both political "drinks" are more or less hijacked and infiltrated, i.e. controlled by the two great parties, kept perhaps on a long leash, functioning as the respective gathering places for the dissatisfied and disappointed on both sides, the later returnees. The opposite would be a surprise for me. One should observe now the reactions of both Democrats and Republicans for some time. Noticeable convergence or divergence to the "drinks", that's the decisive question. Normally whalers don't go far off from the mothership. In the medium term you'll know it, I'm sure :thumbsup:
If I were an American I'd probably put the Coffee Party to the proof, yup, cos I love coffee with milk and sugar :wub:
But which one? The Coffee Party or the Real Coffee Party? Two by two they are. Damn it! o_O
-
Evidently the Coffee Party is the to be expected pro-Democrat atomizer to the pro-Republican Tea Party.
Guess the consequence is a renewal of the public political paralysis - the Mexican standoff.
Here comes the Nuka Cola Party as the longed for white knight into play. Already soon, I think.
-
:thumbsup: and thanks, Silver and grannywils :smile:
Hopefully these sayings aren't written in Lakota, for I know merely a
few words of this wonderful language - and no grammar, as usual :blink:

Seems that pictures of actual wastelandish landscapes would be at least as related as that. People could use them as reference for their mods, etc.
Again - no.
Shots of our real world are not game related, or our understanding of reality is corrupted. There's always a logical limit, a separating line between game virtuality and reality. Let it go at that.
Geography and News sites are hosting enough material for those actually interested in desert stuff, for example. No good reason to get nuked here by daily CNN sandstorms or Mogadishu vacation impressions (the own or the unasked ones by others).

Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

By replacing the drive, do you mean a new computer hard drive?
bben46 refers to the possibility that the interchangeable DVD drive is dead because of a hardware bug.
