Well, lets start with the Obvious. You immediately dispense a nasty and negative comment. From my experience, (personal and witnessing it in others later... ) People whom tend to use such negative language and expression.. tend to have poor self control, and little to no self respect. Hence, if you dont respect yourself... why would you respect someone else?
Uh, that disclaimer was intended for others as a warning that while the polite thing to do would be to just let the troll lie, I couldn't resist the enjoyment of a good internet discussion. While a half dozen people here have PM'd me to "not waste the words" on you, I actually enjoy a good back and forth, particularly with someone like you who thinks that A) their opinions are irrefutable, and B) their ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- don't stink.
And yes, I used a few words that could be considered profanity. Sorry, I worked in a shop for 9 years, those words are pretty much standard vocabulary anywhere that men who don't wear ties work. Plus sometimes the more "colorful" language gets the point across better than more mundane terminology. The idea that you think that the use of profanity is somehow a reflection of a lack of self respect gives me another glimpse of the type of environment you grew up in, and I am sorry, it must have been rough.
Respect, by the way, is earned, and I tend to give everyone I meet (both in real life and on the internet) a "base" measure of respect, and let them earn or lose that respect as time goes on. In two threads your insistence on proving that your OPINION is somehow an irrefutable fact has pretty much removed any respect I had for you. Hence my saying that I smelled "---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---"..
What you are doing is Pre-Assuming - or - Presuming.. on the side of negativity... and since your Ego is so grand, you want to defend the the stuff that it represents.. in the form of a Presumptious Attack. One you believe you will win.. which will make it all the more good for your Massive Ego...
I didn't presume anything, your posts have shown me exactly what your stance is, and I am not attacking, I am just pointing some things out that you still can't seem to accept. You have an opinion, just as everyone else here does, but somehow you "PRESUME" that yours is right and everyone else's is wrong. And you say I have a massive ego
You see... theres a big difference between you and me. When I point things out... such as when someone does a Stance incorrectly In the Martial Arts... I dont tend to make fun of them. I tend to spend time explaining why what they are doing is incorrect.
Yes there IS a big difference. First I don't believe that everything that comes out of my mouth is 100% correct and hence that I am "teaching" everyone. You seem to view everything you talk about as if you mastered it, and hence everyone else in this world is a student to your mastery. And furthermore, I know that pointing anything out to you will be ignored, so adding some sarcasm and a little jab here and there might make you stop and take notice of what is actually being said. It was futile though, you missed every bit of truth in my response to you and still assume you are correct in every regard and that I am just some youth who is attacking you just for fun.
I dont do it for the Ego boost.
If you don't do it for Ego boost, then how come this one post has no fewer than 3 paragraphs detailing your martial arts experience?? This is an arcade forum and a thread talking about button switches, yet somehow you have managed to interject a half dozen paragraphs about your martial art discipline and mastery, as well as your trophies. Don't kid yourself, you are bragging.
I know why you got into martial arts - it was because you were bullied as a kid, and from your earlier comments, because you probably grew up in a pretty strict home that probably included some abuse and it turned you into a very anal person who requires perfection in all things. I would put money on it that at your computer right now, nothing is out of place. Thing is, I don't care, it has no bearing here. (just so you don't go on a rampage and write another page about some martial arts experience, I am making some assumptions based on your previous posts, but I bet I am right)
Its in fact your Ego that cant handle being dismantled. Let it go, and you can grow.
I have nothing to let go. I don't even own a leaf switch, and I am happy with my clicky buttons. I am having a good time arguing with you and pointing out where you are mistaken, more because you need someone to point out, in detail, what you are missing than because I have some kind of need to be right. You are so confident that what you say is irrefutable fact and I happen to know from my own experience and background that while you have a lot of factual information to back up your arguments, your application is extremely narrow minded and you aren't good at applying your knowledge to anything other than your narrow minded views. So I am pointing this out and it is driving you to write paragraphs about your martial arts experience (which has nothing to do with your ego or insecurity of course), while at the same time you are contradicting yourself and failing to just simply admit that your arguments are OPINION.
Well, here is your 2nd problem. You Assume that Im making assumptions. Wrong.
Given that you know nothing of my experiences, YOU are the one making assumptions. My replies have been based on what you have said, which doesn't assume anything, unless I say "I am assuming" or "Just guessing here" or something of that nature.
I reply with information, based on whats needed.. or on the actual evidence in the reply. And many times, I try to stay clear of personal issues... but when someone like Mel keeps attacking me, even when Im not even around... well then, its time to put him in his place.. because clearly he DOES have issues. Big issues.
No, you reply with your OPINION, based on your experience. Then you try to shove it down everyone's throat as fact, and then tell everyone they are wrong and you are right because "facts" back you up. Yet you glaze over the facts that would nullify your opinion for other situations outside your own. And still you can't even admit that your opinion may not actually apply to others. Heck, someone showed a VIDEO of someone using a technique that disputed your opinion and still you said that they were wrong and your way was better.. You can't get much worse of an ego problem than that...
This. Its a good start. Admitting your not sure.
Actually that was sarcasm.. But you should try the whole "admitting you are not sure" thing sometime... it is easy, just preface your bold statements with the letters IMHO. It might change your life to stop thinking you are on top of the world looking down on all of us.
I won't bother to argue your opinion of what this discussion is about because someone already pointed out the FACTS rather well.
But I will comment on:
you can lay your fingers on them with good pressure, and they will not accidentally fire on you. This keeps your fingers loose, relaxed, and ready to react much faster than someone who had to maintain stiff control 'hovering' lightly on a button.
Perhaps your fingers are light and delicate, mine can't "rest" on even my sloppy, long throw, clicky switch buttons without triggering them, I have to "hover" to some extent (not completely, but I know when I fall asleep at the keyboard because I start to see long strings of a single letter as when I fall asleep and actually rest my fingers, they depress). I don't have a problem with it.. I type on a keyboard all day long, usually for 9-10 hours, then spend another 3-6 hours playing games, usually PC games that require my hands hovering over keys for the duration. By default, to some extent I am holding my fingers over the buttons and only partially resting on them. And the amount that I "rest" on the buttons doesn't depress them at all, because it doesn't break static friction of the button.
But my entire argument has simply been that your have your opinion and your preferences. Just because it doesn't work for me doesn't make you wrong, it just doesn't make you universally right. You are right IN YOUR WORLD, and that should be all that matters. Unfortunately your ego means that your opinion needs to apply to the entire world, and every situation, regardless of how different it is from yours. There is, in your mind, one way to do things right for everything, and whatever you have come up with in your life experience is the one and only answer. All I am doing is pointing out that you are wrong when it applies to others. You were wrong about the monitors, you are wrong about the leaf switches.
The Irony here.. is that you dont even know what we are talking about, and chose to jump into the argument.
No, I knew what others were talking about.. and I was just pointing out that you were being contradictory, which you still are. I also was pointing out that all your "facts" and knowledge of the subject is still not relevant outside of your personal preference.
Lets apply this in speaker technology...
You can make a speaker that lasts forever with todays technology... but.... does it SOUND better???!!! nope.
Older leaf buttons PLAY BETTER !!! About 1000x better. Less fatigue. Quicker rapidfire bouts. Far superior comfort.
Just because they will eventually fail, does not make them worse.
As much as I would love to hear an actual argument regarding speakers, this isn't the place. But one thing I learned from nearly a decade of building competition stereo systems is that speakers,
much like arcade parts, are incredibly subjective. What I might consider to be the best speakers in the world might sound like crap to you, and vice versa. As a salesman I might try to convince you that my opinion is better than yours, but nobody is trying to sell you anything here (well, maybe Randy, lol, but this is his business and you did insult his product directly). I could care less if you use older leaf buttons and think they are the best. Others here have a different opinion, and your pretention is preventing you from accepting that they might have a point. You believe you are right and you are going to make sure that everyone on the internet knows that you think you are right, even if it makes you look like an insecure idiot.
NOTHING lasts forever. Especially if its mechanical in nature.
except for your ability to believe that your opinion is greater than everyone else's.. that seems to be lasting forever..
But even if it DID last forever.. it doesnt change the reality, that something that performs and or feels better, is more desirable... and thus, superior.
OK, I will take a stab at showing you what you are saying. Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini all make some pretty desirable cars that perform as good as just about any car. But a Ford Shelby GT500 off the factory line can smoke the fastest versions of each brand in the quarter mile. They are less expensive by 5 times, have more horsepower, are easier to buy, get better gas mileage, and unlike most models of each exotic supercar, can carry 3 passengers plus a driver AND their golf clubs. You can drive on any road in the U.S. with the mustang and not get stuck, high centered, or cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage to it. You can take a 2000 mile road trip in one and not need a wheelchair at the end of the trip because they are more comfortable. And finally, by buying American you are supporting American workers.
I just made an argument that CLEARLY shows that the Shelby GT500 is superior to exotic cars like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche. So now you NEED to believe that those cars are junk in comparison and that you should never even consider owning one, even in your wildest dreams. And you better not argue it because my facts are right, and since I have driven all 4 cars AND owned 2, my experience is superior to yours.
See, I can do that too, and just like your argument, it is ridiculous both in it's very nature and in my use of facts, even though everything I said about those cars is 100% true.
Ive stated over and over, that each type of button DOES in fact have its place.
- Microswitches - best for modern fighting games.
- Old School leafs - Best for classic and rapidfire games.
- Re-make leafswitch's in a microswitch body - better suited to fighting game.
The issue I have, is someone trying to pass off these buttons are being a replacement for the older Leaf buttons. Its not even CLOSE to being accurate. Thats like trying to sell a surgeon a Sword, instead of a scalpel. Or a dentists, a hand drill.
Its not even close to how the originals work.. and the reasons why they are pretty much a requirement for playing certain games.
No, it would be like trying to tell a surgeon that he will be a better surgeon if he uses a Havel's scalpel over a Swann-Morton.
And just like your argument that older LCD's are incapable of playing games on, saying that original buttons are a requirement is completely and utterly false. As long as you continue to make statements like that, I will be here to point out how much of an idiot it makes you.
