At this rate, the idea of "using the search function" will become obsolete as many of the informative threads are just becoming slanging matches and the useful posts are getting lost amongst the carnage.

This is probably in the wrong forum but, God flame me, it's for a good cause!

Not really much point in banning anyone, there are many ways to get back into a forum, I think that indoctrination may work better

I agree - He said he wasn't going to buy one - so why the hell is he still posting about it? Complaining about a handheld he doesn't even own?

ok, how about mass silent treatment??

Agreed, everyone put him on your ignore list.

The only way to knock reason into an unreasonable person is to be violent or be very patient, on the other hand, the person is probably frustrated because the person can't buy a GP2X .


I could be wrong, but who cares, I'll certainly continue to adore this little machine regardless of other peoples opinions .


Ignoring may be a good method, but I'm quite sure that the mods / admins here can think of better solutions

Well, although he is annoying, and I do really wish that he would stfu...I don't think posting a thread bashing him will do any good, really...

But right now, I think that anything to get my mind off the pain im going through is good (4 impacted wisdom teeth removed, one was sideways )

It's ok. It's all planned. This thread will make his head explode from self-importance. See it as an obituary.

Sorry to hear that psymastr. I hear recovery can take a while and can be painful.

True, but I do have better things to do than read all the BS he spouts.

I think he should stick to the GP32 and XGP sections of the forum.

(PS: Take care Psy, you get through it. I did. I had all my top teeth removed)

Make him feel better, why don't you??

I am grateful that I have all my teeth. I am grateful that I have all my teeth.

Done!

Cool, I am popular now.



I'm getting all 4 of mine out tomorrow! How was the procedure?

Yes Quite. Removing them was a breeze, Ive been spitting out blood for the past 2 hours, and went through over 25 gause pads already Anyway, hando should install the annoying member ban mod or w/e its called. where instead of banning them, it gives them random timeouts, and plays annoying music on the website, that loops over and over, here is a link: http://mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/4300 Just need to modify it to work with 2.1

Did any mod even witness his trolling?

Guess not...

This is pathetic. The guy only expressed his views on a forum. It is not as if he is a lone voice of dissent either. Perhaps this over the top reaction just shows he hit a nerve with some of you. Surely you are not so insecure in your views that you cannot handle an opposing opinion.
The GP32 is still a part of this scene, and as someone who is still developing for it, he is a valuable asset.
It is also good to have a few people on the board who care about the homebrew scene. There are few enough of us as it is without trying to ban any of them.

Good luck with your teeth JaqMs. I am sure you will eventually come to terms with being ignored by these few - its a bit like being back in the playground.

You misunderstand my view at least; It's not him I have a problem with, it's everyone who rises to the baiting and starts slanging matches.. If people would just ignore him then I wouldn't find him a problem, but they don't, so I do.

He's now on my ignore list.

I don't care how many people will ignore me. They will be the ones missing out on my GP32 GCS. You all go ahead and play your games made by Nintendo and Sega while I work on a program that is specifically suited for a handheld like a GP32.

I kinda like your attitude, don't be so silly

I respect your opinions, but maybe you should try a GP2X before you judge it.

Why turn your back to video games history (emulation), when you can embrace and learn from it in your future homebrew endeavours?

Because I never look back at things. Looking back at things does not make any progress, it's just revisiting something that has already been done.

Every football message board needs that one guy posting constantly about how terrible a sport football is. I think it's a law.

You don't learn then?

That's like a painter saying s/he won't look at any of Monet's paintings, a film student refusing to watch Citizen Kane, or a budding rock guitarist purposely avoiding ever hearing Smoke on the Water.

Any human creation is built upon the generations preceding it. That is how we progress as a species, and is our greatest defining asset. If we had to re-invent the wheel every few years, we'd get nowhere.

Besides that, y'know, there's a little thing of just having a lot of fun playing old games?

When you create something, it's from your own mind, not someone else's in the past.

You really sound like you have just suddenly snapped and thought: "Ya know what? Today I'll just be an ass and try and get on everyones' bad side!"

So JaqMs, you think that by re-creating something of the past , one degrades him / herself ? ...

Weak point.

If you think that all that exists now would exist now without the input of the past...

You know what a platformer is ?

Know how it was invented ?

Know who invented it ?

Know why it's a platformer ?, or even named a platformer ?

...

Make something new ( HEY, WHO SAID THAT IT HAD TO BE NAMED A GAME?, YOU MAY NAME IT A WOBBLER ) , your own creation, not based on anything else, and then maybe you'll be right. ( I used game and Wobbler as an example, a feeble one, I know, it is why I... )

/ Goes behind curtain before anyone sees him !!!


I still like your attitude though

Dude, you have problems, jaqms. Because, if everyone just totally forgot our past achievements, what would happen? No matter how terrible, we can't forget it, for fear of it happening agian. Would you want another holocaust?

The whole genre of Hip-Hop is a ways of looking at the past. DJs (real ones, not the guys who do Bar Mitzvahs) take old albums and remix them to create an entirely new song. The whole art of sampling is based off of building from other's creations.

How about collages? Are you saying that Picasso's creations in his later years weren't art because he didn't make them from scratch? Adapting something can be as great as skill as creating it.

Abominations, I tell you. It makes me gringe, everytime I hear a "mix" of an 80's song I used to love... Ought to be taken to a hole someplace and shot.

But that's just my opinion, even if someone disagrees, he has the right to do so, and I'm not going to force him to abandon his musical "taste". (""'s for humorous effect.)

It's more remakes that tick me off rather than remixes. Some remixes are pretty cool, but a lot of modern remakes just suck. They started sucking in the late '90s, though, I can at least stomach remakes from the early '90s and before.

haha, i love the annoying member feature, that just sounds hilarious!
when can we expect this?

It sounds to me like he's just a 12 year old just trying to get under peoples skin, or a really bitchy, vindicative (ex)girlfriend, lol. His arguments are always short and 1 or 2 sentences, and always negative.

I think JaqMs needs a good, long...assraping.

Oh, I see. You're a genius who's creative without any influence.

Be careful not to meet anybody in your life or surf the internet - you might catch up something about the past which could influence your fantastic, completely original-without-any-influences-of-the-past-or-anything-else-creations...

I fell over reading this lol.

why? wasnt funny..

why does this guy need to be banned anyway? unless his annoying topics have always been deleted or moved before i came across them.. then ive never seen any of his posts O_O i just come on one day and see this topic...examples of his annoying topics?

Oh boy, you don't know what your missing.

That means that you spit in the face of what hundreds of generations built for you. You choose to reinvent the wheel, where's the progress there?


Everything derives from something, no matter how subtly. Every original game has its roots in an older one, or even more so older ones. This doesn't mean that others' ideas should be copied, but learned for. Learn what's addicitve, learn what's effective.

Most of my posts were in the "GP2X dead?" thread. Is that really an important thread for all of you?

What is a mod and what does trolling mean??

A mod is short for a moderator. They're the people that make topics sticky, lock topics, delete them, and so forth. Some forums also give them the ability to ban members. They keep things under control.

Trolling is going against rules, accepted opinions, and other such things to stir up a negative reaction. For instance, if I were to go over to the GP32 section and declare that homebrew and emulators suck, commercial games for life go get a PSP you idiots(NOT MY ACTUAL OPINION I LOVE HOMEBREW AND EMULATORS PLEASE DON'T KILL ME), that would be trolling. Another method of trolling is 'flaming', where you insult people fiercely and such.

Instead of Guru status we should give JaqMs a certified GP2X shit face status next to his name. Yeah a nice big logo like that would do nicely.

So technically, we are all trolling him then



I couldn't resist:

Warning, this Image may be offensive to some, such as JaqMs and friends.

The are so many retards on this forum!!

So I dedicate this picture to the thread starter, although most people posting in this thread deserve it as much as he does.

Indeed, and you are ?

As for using this picture, do you have no education ?, do you think that it is something to be laughed at ?.


If I were an admin or even a mod here ( sadly I'm not ), you wouldn't have a place to post.

Have to agree with X-Code.

I think a little "friendy" banter and p*ss taking is fine anyone who makes comments / posting pictures like that is a complete twat.
