TRUNKS THAT YOU

Well I don't consider vidya being noneffay, or any of my other hobbies. I think it all depends on the way you approach and embrace it.

Like, say with video games, I try to make them look intellectual and shit, but only when a discussion can be established in a organic manner. Discussing about how it is a narrative medium worth checking out; keeping my collection all neat and stacked with my photography/fashion books, and my effay music, etc. Don't be pretentious about it. Embrace it.

Obviously if you're an ugly fat neckbeard you definitely can't pull this shit. It's all about being consistent and genuine.

But maybe I'm an autistic faggot who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, so who knows.

I play x-wing miniatures.
Not super seriously or anything but it's a lot of fun.

that is so cringey.

video games are no more of a "narrative medium" than a boardgame like Life or Monopoly is you fucking faggot. why do people like you try so hard to justify your childish activities?

I obsess over camouflage patterns and military surplus jackets. I recently saw it for the autism it was and sold off my collection. Now I just buy and sell certain pieces so I can still handle the stuff without actually owning it.

>>10282015
somehow you managed to make an even dumber post than the worst post in thread

congrats on looking like a total fucking idiot

I have literally no hobbies as I recently stopped playing video games. Any recommendations /fa/?

I fish competitively.

(also video games are stunting the intellectual and emotional capacities of youth and you all should stop playing them)

>>10282019
how so?

some dumb fuck was talking about how you have to "embrace" a stupid childish activity like playing video games but glorifying them into some kind of art form. If you play video games, well okay that's immature, but whatever, but feel the need to justify it on some kind of intellectual grounds. Read a classic novel instead

I'm assuming you haven't studied philosophy at a university level?

If not I'd definitely recommend reading Hetherington's Metaphysics and Epistemology, and Tomassi's logic as they will both massively expand your competence when it comes to formalising philosophical arguments.

As for me, I'm a cheerleader (actually competed at world championships, and I'm British).

Average fit is composed of a mixture of Rick and Julius with my KVA icarus'

producing electronic music.

because it's a field of tryhards, you blow your money on new gear instead of sicc cops, and spend too much time indoors.

>>10282208
Never heard of it.

However, this is how solitaire works basically:
There is a chance on cannot win.
There is no general method to certify that one would win games with possible wins.
There is a way to statistically increase chance of winning.

Personally I totally disregard winning ratio and focus on solving as quick as possible.

>>10282206
I work on trying to find flaws in the RNG right now, and since it is stored in a byte and seemingly works on this kind of forumla:
x(n+1)=x0+c mod(255)
Then I think they use another mod on the rest of that, like with Peach's turnip pick up, the first is RNG is mod 127 or something where 0 is item.
Then the formula changes into:
x(z+1)=c mod (255)
And the next frame:
x(z+2)=c+x(z+1) mod (255)
and now one can kinda predict which item to choose.
There are other ways to manipulate this though.
Other things which might be possible is messing with hitstun with Kirby's swallow, which might not make it as useless. The swallow is very glitchy, look at the sprite glitches and permanent freeze glitches.
There are theories of what could work but all would require frame perfect input, but look at top smashers and it is already at that level so it isn't implausible. However, I don't do this for becoming better, I do it for fun.

I produce music with synthesizers. Sounds decent enough, right? When people check out my setup they're like, "Oh, so you're a keyboardist." Or sometimes they'll say, "Oh cool! You have synths!"

But I'm not about that life... I'm probably somewhere low on the autism spectrum. I spend less time actually making music, and more time making sound. I'm less into stroking the keys, I'm more into twisting the knobs of a modular synthesizer. I'm a sound fetishist. I'll spend however long it takes to get that perfect tone, the perfect timbre, the perfect sound.

A friend of mine once called me a "foreverial tiedup delitized Karlheinz Stockhausen." He's right.

This fetishistic attention to detail is what makes my music production non-/fa/.

>>10282267

>>10282301
Apologies for my ridiculously patronising comment then; I'm not used to conversing with people who are actually passionate about philosophy AND study it.

Most of the people I know who like discussing philosophy don't study it and most of the people I know who do/did just did it because it's a subject with a historical prestige... Depressing stuff.

Considering doing my MA in Logic and Mathematical Philosophy so I can empathise entirely with your priorities.

Anything you've concluded from your analyses that you feel is worthy of sharing?

How do you feel about Ardent's ethical theory of thinking? Personally I'm inclined to agree with it as it basically calls normies evil for not questioning their cultural conditioning

I've once met the legendary Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk at Musikmesse, an international fair for all things music. We, of course, met at the electronics section. Schneider had the technical expertise of the group, and is the the master of all things modular synthesizer.

We spoke for a bit, and I've shared this with him, and I'll never forget his response.

"You are at the point where you realize you are no longer a musician. You are an engineer."

I cannot find much "synth porn", so I get my kicks off to synth demos on Youtube. I'll recommend Jexus/ WC Olo Garb, just skip all the 70s/80s machines and check out all the modern machines.

Back in the 90s Roland used to make these neat little machines called "Grooveboxes".

They're an amalgamation of drum machine, synthesizer, and sequencer. I'd recommend the Roland MC-505, or even the MC-303. With a little bit of creativity, you could totally make it sound less 90s and more contemporary. These things are addicting.

>>10282334
Where I am from we make a separation between practical and theoretical philosophy (was a bureaucratic move by the institution to gain more money), and I have only studied theoretical philosophy and philosophy of art.
However, what I have read of Arendt, I strongly object to.
First of all, she seems to base her theories on these simplified pseudo-sociological analyses of society, like the "banality of evil", which is basically a case study of one person. I find this kind of philosophy very problematic. The same applies to Noam Chomsky as an example, who only seems to focus on an accept of society and disregards any deeper problems.
To me it seems like people very much understand, implicitly opposes and even vocally opposes the systems of evil but the systems remain functional anyhow. Take the rise of Bernie Sanders in the US as an example, a lot of people claim that his popularity is due to a rise of sympathy to socialism, but if we look at the history of the US, socialism has always "been on the rise." and yet their sympathies remain constant. The problem isn't "I am only doing my job" or so, I think the problem is more linked to the problem of agency and society. My friend presented me with a theory on it which I am in favor of, due to his behavioral psychological studies, that it doesn't actually matter what the agent does, the system will remain the same. (his studies showed that he could predict the behavior of a group but not the behavior of the individuals.)
Claiming that people aren't self-introspective and blind of ones own culture is simply too naïve to me.
My personal theories are really bad at the moment, as most philosophy students my own beliefs got trashed and now I am looking for some solid ground to stand on. Also, my intuition lies with monist idealism which seems heavily unpopular today.
I haven't studied any mathematical philosophy, so I know not how to comment on that.

I agree that ethicists like ardent usually fall into the trap of being far too pseudo-sociological/psychological, but then it's difficult not to sympathise with this a little if you don't assent to the idea of an objective moral standard. If we should be judged morally in subjective terms then what could be more appropriate than to look to our sociological environment to devise our theories?

As for your monist intuitions I'm very interested. My intuitions lean similarly. it is generally accepted that:

Consciousness is composed entirely of physical matter (monism). On an atomic, and perhaps subatomic level, the composition of the mind and body are not distinguishable from the non-living and unconscious.

Matter cannot be destroyed or created, simply changed and recycled.
so:

A) Matter and energy are conserved.
B) Unconscious matter is not distinguishable from conscious matter
C) Consciousness if physical
D) If consciousness is physical, and matter and energy are conserved, AND conscious matter is identical to non-conscious matter, then all matter is conscious
((C & A) & B) -> D

I formalised that disgustingly, as I've not really tried to present that in any way before, but it's a rough approximation of why I agree with you on that.

B and C seem the most vulnerable to contest, but I don't have grounds for doubting them

I listen to jazz
I don't talk about my musical tastes too much because of a history of hearing 'oh wow you think you're so hip don't you anon.'

It's a shame that the only people who listen to jazz are tumblr girls trying to get the 60s godard movie asthetic who don't know shit or actual jazz musicians who always seem fairly pretentious. I'm know that there are more people like me out there (see /jazz/ threads on /mu/) but they're too few and far between.

Is Arendt taking after Heidegger in being an elitist? What a shocker!

My moral theory would basically be something like a preference based categorical theory which states that morality is objective.

I need to change some of your premises due to show how I find my views unpopular:
Consciousness is composed entirely of ideal matter (ideal monism).

Matter cannot be destroyed or created:
Depends on how one measures how much matter exists in a system. I dislike philosophical atomism, and therefore I'd say that the average of matter is constant and changeable.

With some kind of similar reasoning I have to agree to some kind of panpsychism unless I want to fall into Berkeley's metaphysics.

However, since it seems to be an ad absurdum argument, we aren't properly aligned.
I already object of C based on other intuitions.
Also, I have came to a panpsychist conclusion.
And I find that with conscious we mean to depict some rational agency, and that is empirically a higher order system than looking at atoms, therefore the argument from B seems fallible.

I do present similar arguments though, but I would do it more like this:
Is consciousness a relation or a property?
If it is a property:
P1. The brain has a property.
P2. Is it possible to split the brain (like Parfit), does the remainders have the property? Seems so.
Induction:
Assume that the remainder has property, then split would lead to remainder/2 has that property.
Therefore the smallest part has that property.

Basic informal objections to it being a relation:
1. Our brains change form and the existence of consciousness does not.
2. The relation would depend on a metaphysically contingent fact.
2.1. The properties of qualia which seems to be ontologically different to physical processes would therefore seemingly arbitrarily be caused by contingent relations. Which seems absurd and verifies the plausible existence of logical possibilities like "grue", but even more ontologically different.

i was implying that spending a A LOT of time playing video games it's the autistic thing.

>>10282655
Oh, cool. Nowadays I never know what the general consensus is for what's /fa/ and what's not. I mean, I don't really give a shit either way.

>>10282632
Interesting. I suspect that your objection to C is contingent upon me not elucidating my ideas properly, as I wasn't really making the positive point
Consciousness is physical
rather, I was making the negative point:
not dualism
I'd be interested to hear if you're defending dualism? but I assume I was just being sloppy.

I hadn't considered the argument for monist idealism on the basis of dividing consciousness indefinitely, but I very much like that argument, and I'm literally taking note on that. Thanks.

Anyway man, in keeping with the fact that you're obviously a far better versed philosopher than I, I need to go back to revising for a resit

Was thoroughly enjoyable talking to you.

This.

So yea, I kinda agree with the link.

Third. I hand paint; could never get into airbrushing. Not very good though, but it's relaxing and I enjoy it. Haven't had much free time recently though. My new job is salary, and they fucking milk it. "Short" shifts are 10 hours or so.

I also have a massive Glorious PC Master Race rig, as well as read manga, some western comics, and have quite a few vinyl records (most were my father's). None of those things are /fa/ in the slightest, but I don't exactly bring them up in conversation or prattle on about them like a retard if it does somehow get mentioned. I also read a lot in general, so a bunch of comics on a shelf don't even look out of place when they're the minority. Generally people are more surprised that I keep many of my magazines, not having Azumanga Daioh on my shelf.

Quality post

I wish I had a hobby that I could be passionate about, but lately I've become apathetic towards everything. At the end of my boring, menial shit soul destroying job, I am too tired at the end of the day to do anything and just want to collapse on the sofa like a potato for a few hours before I go to bed for work the next morning. Plus hobbies tend to cost money I don't have.
Please don't tell me I'm alone in this

Fighting games are the most /fa/ nerd hobby

Melee is EASILY BY FAR the most /fa/ videogame. and its growing really fast
fighting games aren't really as bad as other types of vidya (tf2, etc) because the ENTIRE community revolves around money making. People go to tournaments to win money, high level players money match regularly.
And making money with skills is /fa/
I go to a large (40,000+ students)state school, and I've been to many of the various vidya clubs.
Smash club (which consists of 90% melee players) is absurdly different from all the other gaming clubs. Its very racially diverse, and everyone in it has social skills. I havent met any competitive melee players that weren't cool people also. they all like to drink and smoke too, which makes them easier to hang out with.

>read a classic novel

true, but video games are developing to become even more relevant. it is a new medium of narration - think about it (and I obviously am not talking about fucking pac-man or tetris), great and complex video games combine story telling, music, artistic visuals, fashion design, cinematic art, paintings and so on into ONE single work. it is kind of like a movie, with the difference that YOU are parttaking and thus enhancing the experience of becoming an element of this network of arts. the player, by chosing paths, actions and even rejections adds to the overall thing that this work is. take games like heavy rain, silent hill, el shaddai, bioshock I DUNNO games like that - they're full of symbolic meanings, hidden messages, creative uses of design, emotionally engaging...
it's like video game is actually the wrong word. I feel like it is conservatism that maintains this word, but it should actually acquire a new name... yeah you can 'play' around but you can also become the artist who bends the piece to one's will... I dunno man, my point is, games are fucking awesome.

tl;dr
video game is art. if you don't accept it, then you're denying the development of new concept of arts.
fucking conservatives.

video games are porn. they lack all subtlety and they only focus on extremes. they're the equivalent of a Tom Clancy book.

LA Noire gets props for basically being a Raymond Chandler novel, but he's not really one of the greats. There are some video games that break through, but the majority are just fucking dumb.

jesus, just because it's entertaining doesn't make it art.

>>10284458
I totally get what you're saying, 99% of video games are still purely pop culture they force out pleasure and desire (just look at shit like CoD)
and despite design, story, concept arts etc., there is a far more important facet of video games: critical thought.

yeah, novels are a GREAT way to focus on what's wrong with the world - but think about it this way... literature creates new world and alternative ways of living. it focuses on what is wrong with us, and our surroundings and offers the focus on the struggle of reality - it reveals what society, pop culture and what ever hides and conceals. going with herbert marcuse's definition of high culture, then it is something that creates critical thought in the reader and the desire to change the social reality.

ok now when you look at video games, some games, like civilization have the same ability, they offer you to use the game as a playground in which you can try out new ways of living. like novels offer new ways of existence, so do games offer YOU to actually create those new ways. novels keep you passive, you are just taking in what the author wrote - but with video games you can actually change and transform what the creator made.
you can create new systems of government, economy, and history itself. try out alternate systems and see the mistakes of certain other systems... I dunno, it's just that games have such amazing potential... and like with any other thing, it gets exploited and many people appropriate it for pleasure and quick, thoughtless satisfaction... just don't completely give up on games, man, there is so much potential

>>10284458

your best bet is looking up the product id number or some sort of unique product code on the net hoping you find a personal auction or listing.

I enjoy gardening and growing rare plants.
My favourite types are tropicals, of which some grow on my property. Bananas, taros, heliconia, ficus, hibiscus, orchids and palms.

I have a green house and purchase seeds on ebay and sneak them in to the country via post and grow them and sell them for money just for fun. i dont even make decent money from it. Sometimes i take cuttings from other people's trees so i can grow my own.

I also enjoy dog agility and obedience. I train my border collie to do tricks and one day hope to enter her in to competitions.

I lift weights too.

I'm a scout. I'm not from a America, so not a Boy Scout. We mostly just chat, eat and drink in the wilderness.

I'm into game hacking and I've released programs before. I mostly hacked CoD, but I sort of stopped after MW3. My programs have been downloaded 40000 times.
