It’s me, live with it

Some people are crazy about the graphics of the game that they buy the most cutting-edge-holy-electrons-oh-boy graphics card to play every game at their maximum detail and resolution (cue Crysis). Yes, I think Crysis is visually astounding myself. But I’d rather hold back and wait a year or two to buy a perfectly nice *600-series card that will run it at decent speed.

Well, it seems that my wait is over, now that we have this, and, maybe, this. But I’ll wait a little more, mine is still perfectly fine.

I don’t mean anything harm by writing this…intentionally… I’m just trying to say that, in my opinion, people who buy the most expensive graphics card to play games are complete retards can be better off by buying midrange cards.

Let’s do a simple calculation here, a geforce 9800GX2 will cost you around US$750 (I’m in Indonesia), while a perfectly fine 9600GT will set you back around US$220.

But what will you got for almost three times as much money? not three times as much performance, of course. Yes, 9800GX2 will pummel the 9600GT easily, but do you really need it? As long as you’re not using any of those 30-inch monitors, you’ll be gaming pretty happily with the cheaper card.

(Even if you have a 30 inch monitor, you can drop the resolution from 2560x1600 to 1280x800 and enjoy the game with some AA and AF.)

If you’re using 22-inch monitors and below, you’ll get a perfectly good gameplay experience with a 9600GT. But if you’re using a 30-inch-giant as a monitor and insist on playing crysis, well, I think you’d be better off seeing a psychiatrist.

Yes, i do, apparently.

Why I hate it? Good question.

I’m not talking about the storyline, it might so happen that the cute girl next door has fallen in love with you and will do anything to get you. But sorry to dissapoint you, the chances of that happening is thankfully pretty low.

Now if you watch a hentai anime, you will notice one thing, eventually. The japanese people (who make hentai(s)) are misogynists.

What I meant are… well… You need to watch it yourself to understand. If you really haven’t seen any yet, good for you. 

I’m talking about how characters in hentai are pictured, especially in the far end of perverted hentai: shemales, lolita, tentacle alien and so on.

They are just… unreal. You can see how perverted those guys who made them just by looking at a screenshot.

I’m also bothered by how expendable the female characters in hentai are. Like after a full scene of rape, those girls return to their daily life like nothing happened!

It’s an anime, of course they are unreal, you said. True, but hentai, and pr0n in general are much easier to imitate in daily life, much easier than exploding your car in Hollywood-style. This might be why there are so many cases of molesting done in japan.

And, as you might have concluded, I hate hentai. I hate people who made them. I also have this uneasy feeling of people who watch it, unless i actually know them.

Now, I know you’re asking why I know pretty well about hentai. Well, besides the power of internet, I have a friend who actually collects them, and some of them made a transit on my harddrive, that’s why.

I think ecchi’s fair enough to watch, though.
