Seeing a lot of Banned users, is that normal?

I see. I can see why you would think that way. Like previously said, it's hard to expect everyone to not ignite in the face of such topics
Exactly. Fancy pyrotechnics can be fun to watch from a distance, but something is bound to blow up, someone will end up getting burned.
 
Even if Gorse behaved like a gentleman all the time (he's sometimes a bit of a provocateur), there's no guarantee everyone reading it would interpret it in the same good faith that he wants to show. Especially on the internet where meanings get confused all the time. That's why its often a good idea to discourage these types of conversations.

And even if everything is conveyed perfectly, there's no way to guarantee mellow acceptance and civil discourse will result from this.

Without people like him, we would diminish intellectually in society and our social psychology would suffer all the more in their absence.

Like they say, keeps you on your toes.
 
I don't think your definition of "good faith" is in good faith though. What with the sneak dissin' and all.
Mate, I've just dropped the equivalent of seven encyclopedias of content in this thread about why I want this rule addendum in the most logical, rote way I possibly can. What else do you want!? (The answer, of course, is for me to agree with you, which I simply won't.)

Maybe a three strikes, you are out policy?
I like this idea, but I could see a lot of problems with it. Like I advocated for in my very first post, leniency should be given to good actors before any permanent strike against their account is made.

I think people would be more against it if he wasn't so good about staying fair about the whole thing.
You flatter me.

Being able to shit talk in a reasonable and adult manner is what Gorse is advocating for, and it seems reasonable.
"Shit talk" is a strong phrase. I prefer "quality discussion". But, then again, it's just a video game forum.

I can't make everyone believe my intentions – and, for the record, I do consider myself someone legitimately interested in this forum's quality, otherwise I wouldn't have made all these dumb posts – but I can try to explain them in as clear as manner as possible, which is what I've (ideally) done throughout this thread. If people read what I've written (most won't), I like to think they'll agree with me.

Oh my god... Can I put this on my tombstone? Can I hang it above my desk, so I can see it every day? I think I'm in love with you. EVERYONE, TAKE NOTE!!!!!!!

On the condition that I get all the credit. >:[

I once sent in a whole game's worth of files (mainly concept and design art along with levels, abilities, characters, etc.) to Capcom, asking only for credit for my work, and they stole it and used some of my ideas anyway.

You're welcome to anyone who enjoyed fighting Frost Walrus. D:<
 
I didn't even know NulllDC had a mobile port, but yeah Redream is much more modern.
 
Admittedly, I haven’t used an Android Dreamcast emulator in years, so my opinion is pretty out of date. What should I be using on PC?
 
Probably a Retroarch core of some description, much to my chagrin (I don't like using RA, but the cores are accurate).

Fuck if I know, my computer's been broken for like a year.

I've had to cope with the mere 1129 games on my phone as a result. ?
 
I want a Dreamcast emulator on iOS, that's what I want.

Wow, 230 replies and more in a matter of hours. Politics shouldn't be discussed, but you managed to talk about it at length, without openly mentioning it; clever maneuver, no doubt about it. ? And with the complicity of the staff, to boot. Well, I would have liked to participate, but in the heat of your discussion, I was in sweet company, busy doing something better:

Nahhh... unfortunately I only dreamed of doing it, alas. ?

Wasn't intentional; it all started from genuine curiosity over people with "Banned" as their custom titles.
 
I mean it man, it took me  entirely too long to figure out what was going on. At one point I thought "Oh no, he really got banned for saying too much" and then I kept seeing him post and figured it out. But man did I feel silly. ?
 
Rank freezing/custom titles were suggestions I raised so in a sense I created this situation. Or, I guess more precisely, XKai and myself unwittingly fathered this 230+ post monstrosity LOL.
 
I mean it, I've been taking care of this baby like it was a malnourished premature infant.
