I stared at the paper for like 30 minutes.

Then I felt like playing good games but was like I need to at least write a paragraph


so I got through like half a paragraph.

Then I never got to play good games because fml

while thinking about dying apparently someone threw up

Also apparently take a full load of school for no reason other than to "learn" stuff at school.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay






like someone shoot me but not where it will kill me because being dead is spooky.
You should get a job or work on something fulfilling (not school).
And then you can put it on your college apps because I know your parents are forcing you to go to college.

College is pretty bad. But I'd take it over a ridiculous factory job any day of the week.

You're right. Almost everything is better than a factory job.

true. if i didn't super dislike shift work (either shift. first makes me wake up way earlier than i want, second means i get no social life) i'd just work on moving up from the warehouse out to the production floor.

Who wants to work in the fields? Benefits including working at 6 AM on thru, catching the sunny rays of the Sun, and taking home some produce like lettuce.

@Soft Serve you should have euthanized her with a Finishing Move
Obviously should've gone for the UFO.


Research work kind of sucks paywise, huh
It'll help buy more protein which is always a positive. Can't go on without my whey.

too late (pretty much) lol

I'm glad school has good classes that aren't completely warped to fill state standards or something

or else I might have to take a class that's a waste of time like modeling

terrifying.

Probably going to try to get a job or something second semester. I'm still planning on doing Cross Country in the fall so everything isn't a complete loss.

Also sociology.

I bet they're going to tell me if they (mass of people) think someone has a bomb they'll run away.

or if someone is giving away free stuff they'll flock to them

if you have a garbage soc prof/teacher thenmaybe

if you have a female prof/teacher you might probably spend too much time covering feminism

if you're lucky you'll get the prof/teacher sociologist who knows life is **** from being a sociologist and basically ****posts for the entire class



sociology is fun guys

My girlfriend is doing a sociology and psychology bachelor's atm. If you're just taking an intro course it probably won't be interesting. Anyhow it's a very intuitive field, it's just made to look like a science by authors who use difficult words and redefine simple ones in vague, ambiguous ways. Sometimes I feel like she's doing a degree in etymology.

Sociology isn't really about people, contrary to what you might think at first glance. It's moreso about society as a system and the infrastructures that guide people's lives. It's useful in work market analysis and, unsurprisingly, describing social injustice and its roots.

I wish my campus had the Sociology major cause Sociology and CJ go hand in hand.

And I also had a great Sociology professor who was really relaxed and down to earth.

I'm the biggest most baddest moderator in the whole web. I can take away your posting privileges so hard that will make running through a giant desert without water look like a ****ing relaxing spa resort.. ***** I'll come to your favorite forums (when you're offline) get approved for modship and get settled in. When I see you paling around with your "E" friends I'll log in and sneak in a ban then log out. You'll start panicking stressing the **** out your sodium levels will triple. After finishing wallowing in your corner crying about your 10 second timeout you go back into the forum to ***** about said ban (via pm's). As soon as you're about to hit the send button I'll swoop in a permaban your account. I'm just letting you know how easy it is to block you from posting your unfunny bull****s but to go to such lengths to rid the forums of cancerous post, you little ****. Prepare for "the storm" maggot, the storm that deletes the pressies thing you called your account. Oh and don't think about creating a secondary account to get around said ban I'll ****ing ban that account and ban your ip.

I was home today (yesterday because it's superearly morning now?) and I'll be leaving tomorrow (or this morning since it's really soon?)
Might have a window next Weds/Thurs but otherwise I'll be gone until June or July depending on who needs me to be where. So probably back then.

Plugged Melee and PM in today for about 5 matches of each with someone else who hadn't played in a while. Last time I touched Smash was in November. First few matches felt awkward, then it started flowing. Smash is fun.
Will for sure play this game again, just have a lot of variables on when I want to binge on it.

Meeting another one of our better players in another city this weekend (they're coming back from a 6 month trip to Burma) and he'll probably join for the summer-binge whenever I do it.
So we're getting the whole crew back together slowly!!
:D

We're going to see a talk by Paul Fleischman this weekend and hanging out at a center with him on another day.
He's a teacher of the same practice me and many others locally work with (mental practice, like meditation but of a specific kind, not weird mumbo jumbo stuff with chanting or whatever people think meditating is these days) and a few Smashers started too so they're coming. Should be fun.
I've read some of the books he wrote and seems to be right in line with what I'm doing too, as expected given he's a teacher of my favoritest thing to do as a person experiencing life on earth, so this might be a good LAST stint of adventures before I'm home for a decent chunk of time (finally) until August anyway.


tl;dr Smash is fun but I'm helping a lot of people and having a lot of fun so it's on the shelf

/end current life story-story.


In other news.
I had a talk with my most recent smash-apprentice or whatever. Someone who was trash and over 9 months of specific practice and study became the best in the region.
Melee and PM, seems mostly Melee these days but locally the players apparently want to try PM more so that's cool. *thumbsup

It's a facebook conversation but I copy-pasted it to a word document, hopefully it copy-pastes to here decently well.




@InfinityCollision @Soft Serve @Juushichi Life Life 1FD 1FD PMS | LEVEL 100 MAGIKARP PMS | LEVEL 100 MAGIKARP @didds and whoever else might have read that stuff before.

I don't know who reads this kind of ranting-junk anymore, or if anyone ever did, but in case you've been looking for a fix of Nausi-cray

Maybe you'll get something from it (entertainment or whatever) but here's probably the only 'rant' I'll be doing for another few months.



This is a preface to it. Convo happened in April between binges.



  • 9:47pm



    alright

    im trying to make the new people beast in town so u dont get board again lol



  • 9:48pm



    it wasn't boredom, just got shiz to do ha



  • 9:49pm



    ah ok lol

    btw how did u teach me to be ok in neutrap

    this is literally my conversation with --name--

    "pay attention"

    "i am"

    "no you arent"

    "then what should i pay attention tp"

    "things that are happening, interactions"

    "i am"

    he isnt

    its so hard

    i cant believe i was like this LOL



  • 9:53pm



    HAHAHAH

    welcome to life

    You know those ah-ha moments where you have clarity? Not just smash but in general life? Well THAT is basically the time you're most 'living' and you'll notice when they seem to be 'about' smash, it's about everything else too, and when it's about anything else, you'll notice smash makes more sense too. And it's not really something you can go back on once you understand it EXPERIENTIALLY. Anyone else has that same thing, they set foot in the right direction once in a while, or get glimpses of things that 'are' and they're always THAT close to being fully alive. It's very different now that you're actually living, isn't it?

    As some random monk once said, the measurement of a Sage is by 1 thing, those who are on the path, and those who aren't. You can only ever be ONE step from going the direction you want to go. As ProfX from Xmen says, no hope is lost in anyone. In better words though, ha. Liveliness is an oddity in the movement of life. Pretty sure I've mentioned how Victor Wooten put it well too, how you can only ever be ONE NOTE off the right note. That's all.



  • 9:55pm



    whoa

    wait isnt that like a paradox or something

    im confused



  • 9:55pm



    we'll have to go over that stuff sometime, like just what things like dash dash shield short hop aerial even MEAN ha

    you know, go further than that so you know not only 'what' is, but how to express/understand it in ways that can translate to others seeing what you see too


  • 9:56pm



    yeah im awful at that

    at the translating part, i can usually understand things beyond a literal point

    if i care about it/am interested in it

    --name-- keeps messaging me with stuff like

    i saw your set with –name--, im gunna learn runnings shines now

    *facepalm*


  • 9:59pm



    hehe

    classic

    we'll get these new 'ok' players together sometime to actually see what's going on with stuff. peeps like –name-- will need a lot of support from various sources/etc to come through unless he's given major specific attention to his personal stuff.

    when players have 'personal issues' coming before their 'player issues' then there's a personal touch needed, AKA, the players he's surrounded by need to be people, or they can easily be stuck as players-with-issues for essentially ever.

    It's not really something to 'deal' with, it'll come when it does as a side effect through other stuff

    but yea, people are awesome, just sometimes handy for someone to point out how they can look at themselves and they'll 'get' every last bit of it. We all do it regardless anyway, simply to different extents.
This is the discussion we just had today.


  • 5:03pm


    people try to simplify neutral game by over complicating their character i.e: players trying to do unnecessary frame perfect stuff

  • people like this can't play other characters because they win by manipulating their character, rather than playing the game

    thoughts? i'm not sure i just thought of this and would like to hear some input

  • 6:59pm



    Basically yeah. Though that's actually a small part of something a little more broad and apparent. If that makes sense.

    Maybe think about what I might say before I say it. AKA, What could 'manipulating actions on the screen rather than manipulating the way you're playing the game' be a side-effect of?


  • 7:01pm



  • not paying attention?

  • 7:01pm



  • Not sure if there's a direct/wordable answer to that, but that makes sense yeah?

  • 7:01pm



    yeah i can sorta see the direction you're going, not sure if i understand though


  • 7:01pm



    ya it's weird to word (language stuff)

    Overplaying oneself into fluency will do ONE of those things


  • 7:02pm

  • mui english not good enough to explain things

  • 7:02pm



    Playing to become fluent brings the OTHER one

    It's pretty obvious which leads where (going through tuned actions VS intelligent play)


  • 7:03pm



    yeah

    im still working on trying to beat all the autopilot players

    its harder than i thought lol

    i posted a thingy


  • 7:04pm



    lol

    it is

    basically robotics can't be mind-gamed, so you gotta just sit around a lot and let the robot runs its course and pick it apart slowly


  • 7:05pm



    dash shield short hop aerial, im not the greatest at explaining things, hopefully i can get through to people though

  • 7:05pm



    it's annoying but brainlessness is common in every irl thing that exists ha


  • 7:06pm



    yeah, i've learned that, having only a 2/3 set in tourney is definitely difficult, especially if they have practiced their perfect chaingrabs and i die every mistake

    but im getting better at it

    its funny, even when people are studying in school they create brainlessness


  • 7:09pm



    lol ya

    gotta study how to study so they know how to study, but how do you study studying if studying is what you need to study?

    learning how to learn

    but that's all abstract

    can't SEE it clearly unless you just 'see' it

    so you gotta use CONTEXT

    aka, something like Smash

    aka, learn how to PLAY THE GAME

    aka, 'learn how to play' THROUGH the act of playing the game/learning to play the game

    so learning how to PLAY, you just need a thing to play, and have that thing be dynamic enough that you learn more than just the game when you play it

    but ya gotta PLAY it to learn to PLAY it, and that takes playing, not aimless/mindless craving-chasing


  • 7:12pm



    mhmm, but people dont play it, at least not to the extent/ way that they should?

  • 7:13pm

  • could* and *would if they knew how to do what they were trying to do
    fits better

    people often don't approach things with a clear understanding of what they're DOING in the act-of-approaching-something

    so people go into things with 'ideas' usually built around the simply lack of care (like 'considering things') and don't know what they're getting out of what they're doing even when what they're doing is slapping them in the face with obvious lessons

    tl;dr, peeps be silly

    silly as in, the efforts of an individual are laughably superfluous when it comes to blind devotion

  • 7:15pm



    blind devotion is actually a great way to put it


  • 7:15pm



    BLIND devotion to practicing tech, BLIND devotion to developing habits, BLIND devotion wrecks themselves


  • 7:15pm



    putting in hours without knowing what your intent is and what your getting out of it


  • 7:16pm



    basically

    but again we can only really discuss that stuff like it's a side-effect of the greater thing

    the fact that people go in with an intent, usually being something like 'looking to get something out of it', and don't even LOOK at that fact...

    that's way before the 'hours put in' even come into play

    Approaching something with a CONCLUSION already

    'I need to practice run-up shine because it will be good'

    'I need to practice chaingrabs because they're are needed'

    I need to do this, to do that

    this character can do this, this matchup is like this, this playstyle can beat this ad this

    etc

    THAT makes 'seeing what's ACTUALLY THERE' crumble away

    and taking its place is the image/illusion a person puts in front of themselves

    and they play, and they play, and that image gets polished a little more with every little motion

    and fluency of doing exactly that, builds

    and the fluency of being able to respond accordingly, appropriately, with either immediate action or mental developments, crumbles and crumbles

    until a person is fluent at playing the game they've unknowingly decided to exclusively play, and not at playing the game they knowingly wanted to play when they first sat down (smash)


  • 7:23pm

  • i think i understand it in the context of smash, but maybe if i tried other things i might fall into the same pattern

    like what i did when i started playing melee xD

  • 7:39pm



    tl;dr, what are you doing?

    whatever it is, it's being done

    so you do it

    what are you doing?

    whatever it is, it's being done, so you do it

    what are you doing?


  • 7:40pm



    so theres nothing im avoiding doing?


  • 7:40pm



    When you see what you're doing, what's being done, as you do it, then everything becomes quite obviously VERY clear

    if you see yourself banging your head against a wall, you can trust yourself to stop

    when you see yourself benefiting from something, you can trust yourself to go that way

    simple as that

    all ya gotta do is 'look'

    but just saying 'pay attention' has too much behind it, you can't JUST say 'pay attention'

    because that 'should' simply means that you turn it all around and go...

    what am I doing?

    simple as that


  • 7:42pm



    alright

    so trust myself not to be an idiot?

    and if i am recognize it?


  • 7:43pm



    lol

    if you see yourself doing what's right or wrong by you, you WILL know

    and you WILL do what is necessary

    but you gotta know how to see

    how do you see?

    NOT WITH CONCLUSIONS

  • 7:44pm



    oooh


  • 7:44pm



    there's NO way to approach something like 'looking for good/bad things'

    you'll miss it all

    at the root

    just LOOK at what is there to see, and you will see what is there

    the rest falls into place

    this is the law of nature, everything abides by this

    humans have a tendency to be so arrogant that they think they fall outside of the natural laws of the universe

    it's pretty laughable and superfluous

    aka, silly


  • 7:45pm



    haha

    i watched a video anthony shared


  • 7:45pm

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LXiSPpfM54



  • 7:46pm



    u probs saw it, has a similar theme to what u just said


  • 7:46pm



    haven't seen it but he told me

    yeah that's Alan Watts, highly recommended for learning about life stuff

    here's a fun link

    audio so you can listen to it while smashing or whatever lul


  • 7:47pm



    https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bwj_FVRB63ajcUJGVnpTeU9XU3c&ddrp=1


    Alan Watts- Out of Your Mind (Essential Lectures)


  • 7:47pm



    cool


  • assuming smash is the medium to life, and we're talking how to live

    again, abstract

  • 7:55pm



    how do you OBSERVE anger? happiness? etc?

    You could observe the OBJECTS of them. But they themselves are abstract unless you're using your faculty of attention properly.

    If this faculty is missed, it's approached blindly.

    If learning is blind, it's misdirected and misunderstanding what is. If what is, is missed, then you will never be able to do anything like make a 'what could be' come to be.

    Abstract crap indeed ha


  • 7:58pm



    Through listening to Kirshnamurti/Alan Watts/etc, you might be able to pick up on HOW to develop this faculty. Otherwise things like Vipassana are exactly that. There are other ways too, like using Smash properly/becoming fluent/learning to learn/giving attention to what attention is on/etc, but without a tool and without this faculty of attention, it's easy to get in a mess.


  • 7:59pm



    Hence people are, Smashers are messed up no differently. lol

    It's like if you use your faculty of SIGHT, your eyes.

    You open your eyes and see.

    If you close your eyes, you can still understand/imagine/KNOW even, what seeing is, what you would be seeing, what's in front of you, etc.

    But that's the way everyone is approaching everything. Coming into smash with closed eyes because there's an image we want on the foreground of our attention.

    Rather than just opening the eyes and seeing what's there to be seen.

    AKA, tl;dr, what's up?

    Quite literally... what's going on? End. Period. Of. Period. Story. Period. lol


  • 8:02pm



    yeah


  • 8:03pm



    Fun to play with that too if you get into it. Games like, if you teleported into your exact position, what would be the first thing you notice?

    Then don't really 'think' about it too much, but do it. What would I notice? And look.

    And that'll eventually become the pressure on your feet while standing butt while sitting torso while turning fingers while typing, whatever.

    And that'll eventually become something you realize you're DOING quite literally all the time. Teleporting to your exact position, mental AND physical position, every. single. moment.

    The funnest game you'll ever play. And you can play it while playing any other game. Just got a learn how to PLAY, and you can play anything.


  • 8:05pm



    because your eyes are open?


  • 8:05pm



    Yeah
    Everyone is playing all the time, they just don't usually know they are because they don't know what to look for/how attention (attending what is taking place) is even happening while they're THERE


    Once you see, you can't UNSEEN what it is to see (still know what an 'image' is). Same goes for attention.

    Hence you're still trodding down that path. There's no turning back for you now. You're on the dark side MUHAHHA

    Anyway imma go watch a movie cya and GL with shiz


  • 8:07pm



    cya later

    good tallk

    i read the hunter guy's article, interesting

    really thought provoking


  • 10:41pm



    good good

    yeah fun chats as always

    relay that to the peeps and I bet most wouldn't understand it

    just like 'but when do I dair?' lol


    10:49pm



    I think some of this would be useful for other smashers, mind if I send it to peeps?

  • 10:49pm



    ofc not


  • 10:49pm



    was here today, plugged in both melee and pm

    first 5 matches or so were really awkward, but game is fun af


  • 10:50pm



    just the convo?

    so u played 5 matches?


  • 10:52pm



    lol no we played about 15

    once with every decentish character

    except Puff cause he didn't wanna

    and I played Roy to start and end

    cause he's our boy

    and yeah just the convo

    or the parts of it that aren't about okanagan-specifics


  • 10:53pm



    yea u can use it

    smash IS fun

    maybe someday we should get the 'newgood' smashers of our region and talk about how to play and stuff

    im stsrting to feel like some of our better new players arent learning anything from matches
  • from matches


  • 11:31pm



    XD

    classic of course

    comes and goes in waves it seems, on small AND large scales, with everything


  • Last thing, this is a thing he made to try and help the locals.
It's terribly written and misses some of the key points but he's trying.
lol

my number one problem: I keep trying to do other things in life such that when I'm at school I only play smash/fgs as a stress reliever which means that I'm inherently on autopilot

I seem to only be capable of playing smash for what it actually is when I'm on an extended break from school and don't have other things crowding my mind

i had a roommate that had an english teacher in college who was hard, hard obnoxious brand feminist, and i sat outside of one of his classes and was amazed at how raw she was about it. so the following semester i signed up for one of her classes, and whenever she went into the tank with vitriol i would support and agree with her as much as possible. she would say how women have to take birth control because men are too irresponsible and stupid- and i was right there with her telling her how i had all these one night stands to pump and dump and laughed how i never used condoms. or she would say how women had to get day jobs because men arent worth anything and cant support a family, and i would tell her how i was trying to marry rich for a sugar momma trophy wife. i told my girlfriend about it in advance and when she came with me to a class i smacked her on the ass and told her to buy me lunch in front of this professor and make it snappy, etc. infinite entertainment that class.

Nausicaa Nausicaa like my sig? :p

Won a couple locals since the last time you showed up here so that's cool I guess, but the local PM TO keeps scheduling on days I can't make it so it's hard to see if I can apply anything I've learned in the interim

Sociology isn't really about people, contrary to what you might think at first glance. It's moreso about society as a system and the infrastructures that guide people's lives. It's useful in work market analysis and, unsurprisingly, describing social injustice and its roots.
That's what I was trying to describe with the bomb part


either way next year is gonna suck really bad lol

Sociology and gender studies tend to be pretty interesting classes, likely to distract you from the fact that the degrees themselves aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

Surprised Mech ain't here yet. Guess I'll post it in place of him.

Sounds more like someone who's just bitter at the world. Not many feminists are against the use of birth control. In fact they push for it.

well as with any other larger social movement, you end up with a wide range of people that fall under the same label so it dilutes "real" representation. and i get that, something like christians are the same way. i just found one rare specimen and went it on it, because im more or less a terrible, terrible person lol

I promise you the alternative of being an adult and all the responsibilities that come with it isn't much better.
It's like you don't want to give me anything to look forward to when I get out of college lol.

having worked in a factory and a machine shop before, neither are really better or worse than my office job that i have now.
lol office job nerd vvv
What office job is it? My current major is probably going to give me an office job I won't enjoy much. Also it baffles me how many people are actually studying computer engineering now, that's if I can even get a job in the first place.

RUINING EVERYTHING WITH EVERYBODY ELSE
Nausicaa Nausicaa

The part about conclusions and this part were the best
the rest falls into place

this is the law of nature, everything abides by this

humans have a tendency to be so arrogant that they think they fall outside of the natural laws of the universe

it's pretty laughable and superfluous

aka, silly
makes so much sense
inspiring as usual


Also what Life Life said like way too big of a book to read in 1 post wtf

tho I was gonna try to sum up what he said but it's 30 different massive points so I don't really know how that could work
Intense study is good but that was like massive thing after massive thing

This is one of the most concise things I've seen relating to intense study and it's over an hour long by the best teachers in anything
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX0MrnzBJ8M

So you could take a snippit of that and compact it but it doesn't really work that way

barely anything naus says makes sense to me in the first place, out of context and I wouldn't learn anything and I know where he's coming from because I've talked with him and his crowd of that Jeff^ guy and all those people in person so I see how everyone else is screwed LOL
