[Videos] Billy Buskell denying issues about off-host headshots

I used the term fully mindful of its meaning and implications. You misrepresented my stance (because if not, why quote me?), in a textbook example of a straw man argument, because otherwise, you have little ground for disputing that the anger at Billy's statements is in fact warranted. No one here has called Billy a criminal.

1.1 [count noun] A fallacious argument.

I don't believe that your intent was to deceive, rather simply to hop on the level-headedness high horse that is so common in online discussions, but either way it is immaterial as the term doesn't necessitate deceitful intent.

I only mention this, because any time someone misses the mark on a correction they made to make themselves look smarter than someone else, I'm compelled to point it out. We all have our pet peeves.




I haven't accused you of lying, am I to assume that this is just another "small misunderstanding"? I'm only suggesting that, in light of your fallacious previous post and your smarmy tone in this one, you are actually driving the discussion in the exact opposite direction of what your previously conciliatory and superficially constructive posts apparently promoted. Straw in the eye and all that.

Yes, and then we also have "S/he who burns the buns, should sit on the blebs", "You oughtn't raise your head above the mowing field" and "Who bounces the ball should expect the rebound"... #qualitytranslationsbyscath

How did you 'put it back' and where can I see this?

Cant wait until they fix this and lock it behind a new weapon variant

I recall crashsuit posting a link to something improving "netcode" for ME3mp, is it named; Patch_001.sfar

I did? Hmm. My memory's not great so I could've but I don't remember that. I do remember there being an issue with the sfar file being different for people who were on version 1.6 instead of 1.5, and also I think there's some kind of variable in coalesced.bin that controls how often polling is done for position matching between host and client, or something like that.

Well do u happen to have a link for the adjusted coalesced.bin?

This is probably the greatest indictment of the level of gear bloat BioWare has "achieved" that I've ever seen.

Instead of eagerly watching the RNG rolls with a degree of "ooh, what am I gonna get" sort of anticipation, we've resorted to credit hacks and macros to wade through the piles of stuff we don't want, don't care a bit about, and will never, ever use.


I admit to being pleased about unlocking some Siphon weapons, though leveling them seems pointless.

The Bulwark and Concussive variants only clutter the UI imho.

They have decided you are wrong and that what you’re saying is unimportant. At the same time, they’ve decided that they know better, that they have some kind of superior knowledge and already understand what you’re saying without giving your opinion or insight any kind of real attention. They are flippant, condescending, arrogant, cavalier. They are also opportunists. They’ve taken this opportunity, after you’ve expressed something that has meaning to you, to belittle what you are saying; so that they look bigger.

The attack could be passive-aggressive, a way to brush you off and imply that what you’re saying isn’t valid. Or they will impose their huge opinion over the top of what you say by saying it bigger and louder. Either way it is an attack. They want to make you feel bad and shut you down.

Why?

One reason could be that they are scared of what you are saying. They have to defeat it because it challenges one of their beliefs. What other reason for them to be competitive and cruel? They are afraid.

Another reason, which I already alluded to, is they just want to seem better, superior. This certainly goes along with their attitude and tactics; one of the characteristics of a dismissive person is that they are egotistical. They snidely and arrogantly purport to know the subject (whatever it happens to be) better than you. So, still, they feel challenged and must squash you and what you say. This indicates a good amount of insecurity and fear on their part.

What to do?

One thing you can do is question them. “Oh, really?” That’s how you can start it. Then ask them exact questions about the issue, to see if they really have it narrowed down. Nine times out of ten, they’ll be at a loss; because they really don’t know, they are pretending.



This is important to know too: It’s all pretense. Even their tactics exude pretense. Often they will be pretending to “help”. Of course, what they want to do really is shut you down.

The other thing you can do is plainly and directly tell them that they are being dismissive; that they are implying that what you are saying is unimportant and that they obviously have no regard for you. Some people, unaware that they are being rude, will suddenly see what they are doing and might even apologize.

Finally, if it is simply too tiring and a waste of time to respond to them at all, or they are relentless, you can totally avoid them and avoid talking to them; or at least keep contact with them to a minimum. Of course, this might not totally solve the problem of how they treat people but it is likely a wise action considering the perpetrator’s approach to life and how they treat you.

Simply put, you really can do without them.

I got the sense that was more of a critique of us posting in here than it was of BioWare, but there is the vagueness.

I keep forgetting that some of that stuff survived.
