I didnā€™t touch scroll and it was switching weapons randomly lol. But even to scroll pages, really bad.
Had in plan to replace old mouse in 2-3 months, but it ripped and I borrow from bro some old one. For some reason I was wating on a new one 16 days :expressionless:

I didnā€™t say you had to memorize them, I simply said that I challenged you to put all my alts there.

But you is r veri veri rait. I donā€™t even attempt to hide my identity or be ā€œa ninjaā€, but it still works somehow xD

Rlly? I never liked to switch weapons like that.

1&2 is much faster. Sometimes when I use the wheel there is a huge delay in the switch and that causes deaths. But I am used to the wheel so thatā€™s what I use.

I didnā€™t found 1 and 2 faster for me at least. Gotta use W,A,S,D,Q,E,F,R,shift,space and adding 1 and 2 would be too much for me lol. Is it even possible to change on mouse side buttons? I think that would work nicely.

This thread has been pretty dead.

If you guys could change one thing about FFT with the snap of your fingers, what would it be? It could be literally anything. Please donā€™t say hackers, thatā€™s too obvious.

For me i would personally bring back the old friend system with a few upgrades. I would allow people to send pms in-game, be able to stalk friends, and have them able to live chat. The live chat would probably be in a little tab in the corner like most games. But anyways just a general great friend system would be nice. What about you guys?

i would change the hammer back to the way it was. But yes that is quite simple minded, I would make the shuttle bay map brighter so that i could actually play on it. That would be a nice change.

No.

City of God was totally stunning indeed. Honestly, I didnā€™t know what was going in that part of Brazil before watching this movie. Same for Requiem. I donā€™t know if Reservoir is better than Pulp Fiction, but I watched the latter so often.[quote=ā€œInvisibleKiller786, post:402, topic:2753ā€]
Most of the movies are like before 2000s, give me top 3 out of that list.

You have a whole life to watch them all and find what is good for you :slight_smile:

On top of my headā€¦
If youā€™re looking for international literature (non sci-fi/fantasy), you canā€™t go wrong with

  • Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
  • Kafka, The Trial, Metamorphosis
  • Joyce, Ulysses (if you have a solid background in medieval philosophy and if you have read The Odyssey)
  • Orwell, 1984
  • Dostoievsky, Crime and Punishment (my first classic; I was 14)
  • Conrad, Heart of Darkness
  • Solzhenitsyn, Cancer Ward
  • Shakespear, Hamlet
  • Homer, The Odyssey
  • Ovid, Metamorphoses (if you like mythology)
  • The Bible (the Old Testament is stunningly interesting)
  • Flaubert, Madame Bovary
  • Huxley, Brave new world
  • Umberto Eco, Foucaultā€™s Pendulum, (but heā€™s better known for the The Name of the Rose)
  • Ellroy, L.A. Confidential
  • Styron, Sophieā€™s Choice
  • Kerouac, On the Road
  • Burroughs, Naked Lunch
  • Stephen King, (not really a ā€œclassicā€ author, but damn! I like his stuff. Heā€™s a good storyteller, and he actually has something to say, not like Proust)
  • etc.

There are so many that I enjoyed. I would say start with Orwell, Huxley, Burroughs, Kafka, Marquez, they are crazy.

If you like Sci-fi and that kind of stuff:

  • Dan Simmons, Hyperion (read the books twice)
  • Herbert, Dune (my personal fav - read the books twice)
  • Gene Wolf, The Book of the New Sun (also read all the books twice, but itā€™s not as deep as Dune)
  • Silverberg
  • Farmer, Riverworld
  • Arthur C. Clarke
  • Asimov, Foundation (also read all the books twice, maybe as deep as Dune)
  • Philip K. Dick

Just read this:

Sales of George Orwellā€™s dystopian drama 1984 have soared after Kellyanne Conway, adviser to the reality-TV-star-turned-president, Donald Trump, used the phrase ā€œalternative factsā€ in an interview. As of Tuesday, the book was the sixth best-selling book on Amazon.

Comparisons were made with the term ā€œnewspeakā€ used in the 1949 novel, which was used to signal a fictional language that aims at eliminating personal thought and also ā€œdoublethinkā€. In the book Orwell writes that it ā€œmeans the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in oneā€™s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of themā€.

O i read mostly sci-fi/fantasy since Iā€™m author of one book. It just let u imagine more than classics. ^-^

Yeah i saw that and had to chuckle. Although with the whole fake news furor along with wanting to shut down parts of the internet it now seems that the ministry of information is in full swing which is far more worrying than newspeak which has been gradually creeping in for decades. Still its a good book and more people should read it, its one of my favourite books ever tbh, Orwells writing style is so concise, flowing and compelling.

In my mind that said beer till i re-read it which to be fair is a pretty common fraudian slip for any self respecting briton. As for being cousin-zoned, well its just lucky im not in the deep south of america or iā€™d have to marry him. Hey jazzy baby have you still got all your teeth?
