Say what you will. Often suggestions are based on experience. The average home arcade racer at a desk doesn't need to sustain 5 G turns like a NASCAR driver does, but we can probably help you mount your monitors. |

A master woodworker might have all the knowledge in the world in making a cab, but may come off as an elite, pompous ass. He just may not know any better and thinks he is trying to help. --- End quote --- Completely agree. This is Xiaou2's problem. --- End quote --- That he's a master wood worker? --- End quote --- Oh, I bet he works the wood, all right! Read the part AFTER the comma, my friend. --- End quote --- I guess you would like to me to reveal your problems ? One is the above. Wasting time making jabs at others, of which have no relvance except spreading negativity, and showing how you, and many others like yourself, are unable to let things go.. as well as to make assumptions and judgements, based on feelings rather than evidence. Its funny how many time I read "I cant believe this... but Im agreeing with Xiaou2". The problem is that when you are angered, or upset at what you FEEL is a jab at one of your Pals... One BTW - that has usually thrown several attacks before hand in the past that you may not even know about... Well, when you read the replies.. you will read it with hate, anger, and malice... and thats what you will see and feel. Half the time, you dont ever even read things correctly, and are making up things that dont exist... or cease to read and see the positives.. until that one day when all the sudden... there I am making a clear and concise argument for a cause you favor... and thus the above Quotes come out... Meanwhile, you have no idea how many threads have about 20 jabs of Jealously and Hateful attacks... without provocation, before I respond in with that same level of Kindness that was shown to me... There are several here that Continue to post drivel and heavy critisizms towards people and things they dont like.. and get their panties all bent in a twist.. if you make any non-ego boosting comments... YET... they still will praise a website devoted to trashing others. Funny how it can be dished out... but not well received. lol And whats more sad... is that I dont even go out of my way to be mean. I dont start my own trashing site, mock and single people out for their weak ends in anything that they present. I could easily do the same, with far greater ability, and no need to use infantile curse words to make the laughs. However... its not who I am, and not what I stand for. Its the very Opposite of that. And I will continue to feel nothing but pity, for someone who thinks that belittling others is OK, so long as it makes everyones cab look and operate just like YOU they should look and operate. Its certainly a Mental illness. When I comment on peoples creations, I give useful and helpful advice. If they choose to take it or not.. is always up to them. However, if they lash back with points in which are arguable.. then yup, I will respond to defend my position. Has nothing to do with force or care about their creations. And if they go so far as to make personal attacks... well then, dont expect me to be all rosy. Ill serve it right back at you... as well deserved. I dont really hold grudges, like some of the people here... and often is surprises these guys.. when all the sudden I do something like send them a set of pictures they were asking for. Even After they have attacked me personally in the past, and layed down the judgements. Anyone here long enough, will know that while I am Passionate, I am also very helpful and well intentioned. Not hateful. Filled with ideas and a lot of experience in many areas... but, Im no master of anything, in any one area. I do have high levels of standards, for things like Audio & Visual qualities, playability, comfort... etc. As I am a very critical person by nature. But critical isnt a bad thing. It just means you have different level of experience and different levels of enjoyment and derived pleasures. An over-cooked steak... may not upset some... but for others.. its rejected. Finally, there is also a language barrier here. A lot of people from many parts of the world... and while their English may be good.. its not on the same level of a Native speaker. As such, a lot of things can and Do get taken the wrong way. (Wrong meanings - Bad translations - dual meanings - and much more... ) To date, many do not even know about half the things Ive done and or helped with. A lot of them, I self-Erased.. due to the childish and abusive 'Gang-Attack-Posts', that frequent around here at times. So before you Jump off the Deep end to reply.. Read what Ive said in non-anger speak, and then consider looking in the mirror to boot. |

I'm just telling you, Xiaou, many, many times any good ideas you have a lost due to the fact that the way you express yourself really, really turns people off. I have nothing against you. I actually prefer you to someone who comes here looking for a fight, as we have seen in another thread. But you don't give useful advice. You post ridiculous analogies that you think illustrate your point, continually you cite your expertise as an arcade manager as the reason why you are not wrong, and you berate people for their ideas. Learn some tact, man. |

And I am sure when I raced that guy in the Lamborghini with my supercharged mustang (and blew his doors off) he was still laughing at me because to him I was no different than the kids with the Hondas were to me. And as much as I want to call some of the new members a noob because they insist on making that 48x24 square CP with 7 joysticks and a kitchen sink, I still have to stop and respect them for trying and doing what they want to do. --- End quote --- There will always be people who ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on other people's parades..in every aspect of life. They are miserable people who like to degrade others to make them feel better. ---fudgesicle--- them. But there is a difference in your example of the guy with the souped up Hondas and the guy ASKING for advice or opinions on a message board. The honda guy isn't asking for advice or another's opinion of his ---smurfy--- car...IF he thinks his car is awesome..so be it..I'm happy for him and would NEVER make fun of his choice. IF he's not asking for advice, and someone makes fun of his choice..see my miserable people sentence above. Plus some people have better tact than others. A master woodworker might have all the knowledge in the world in making a cab, but may come off as an elite, pompous ass. He just may not know any better and thinks he is trying to help. --- End quote --- I agree with much of what you said. But as for the woodworker aspect.. you have to also consider that there are in fact people in many fields that have a vast level of expertise.. that try to give advice and help to others. Others whom often reject the advice, refute the point being made, and refuse to actually research the facts. Its not that certain people have a lack of tact. Its often they may lack patience with people whom lash out, when given help. Its often that due to a persons level of understanding and level... its THEMSELVES who feel like the other person is an Elitists. Where as the person giving the advice feels he himself may only be Mediocre in his own craft... but yes, is still well versed in knoweldge and skills.. that exceed the person they are trying to give advice to. Its also often that when a person poses information that isnt widely known or popular.. it becomes a shocking sensation, and hits at the nerves of others. Some in jealousy. Some in Disbelief. But there are also those who accept, and take that knowledge, later to test it on their own... rather than to make a snap judgement or start a bitter spat with it. As for the paragraphs written here... Its hard to know whats being said, because its all over the map. Everyone has their own opinions on what they like, dislike, etc. One size doesnt always work for everyone. While you think Monster Muli-Controller panels are beginner level, looks bad, etc.. I think they can be done well, serve as a good space saver for those limited on funds and space... and can provide a better gameplay functionality to those who have passions other than mere driving or fighters. To someone who doesnt care about looks, and values more playable games... thats a Far better option, that a slick looking paint job with sparse and or inferior controller options. Its more often than not... that as people gain more knowledge and experience.. they change their controller options from generic... to specific. Which means, original controllers, such as a real starwars yoke -vs- an analog stick substitute. Or a real leaf switch button assembly from the 80s... rather than micros and or the remakes that do not feel or react the same way. Ive also seen people on fighter forums.. whom complained about curved button layouts. As well as many here whom started out with curved layout, (myself included) whom rebuilt them straight at a later date. Opinions are Opinions... and you can take them or leave them. Have an open mind.. and see what the clamor is about. If you agree.. great. If not.. thats fine too. Ultimately, its your money and time.. and the results are for your enjoyment... not to please others here on some forum. |
