TOPIC: Father Watson Q&A v2

Do you know any other languages, if so what are they. If not would you like to in the future?

Winner of the Competition is ChuteUK. Full Disclosure, I rolled 6 fucking times, and 5 of those times I got one of my posts. I really shoulda watered it down to only include other people's posts, but whattaya gonna do

"Languages"

I only speak English. I've been meaning to learn a different language; probably Spanish or Greek. My grandmother is Spanish, so it would be a nice treat for her before she passes on.

Have you ever watched the walking dead? If so who was your favourite character

Here ya go, lads:

ML65R-DIWZA-TTWLR

That's a key for Project Cars 2. Enjoy!

"Walking Dead? Favourite character?"

I like Negan, but I also like Glenn. You see my dilemma.

That in mind, I think he was a very strange addition to Tekken 7 and feel like he probably should've been added to Mortal Kombat, instead... Hell, even Soul Calibur VI would've been a better fit.

Individualism or collectivism?

Thank you for the Giveaway Watson!

New question for you. What would your Top 10 items be on SSRP?

"Individualism or Collectivism?"

The concept of individualism prioritises the self over any other defining aspect of the human experience; developing the singular over the collective, and encouraging growth and improvement as the ultimate goal. It means to exist freely of others and think for yourself - develop your own ideas, opinions. Freedom of action for the greater good of the self, rather than for the collective. This isn't necessarily a selfish thing, as you can still vye for the needs of others while expressing your own thoughts and feelings. In fact, this is a fundamental part of being human. Bandwagoning is much more collective-oriented than individualist, which means freedom of the inherent biases that stem from being part of a group.

Contrast with collectivism; a hive-mind mentality in which only the needs of the group and the many are vital. Everyone is prioritised, which quintessentially dictates that no-one is. Equality over favourtism, empathy over ego, and belonging over loneliness. Collectivism advocates the needs of everyone - which is sometimes a bad thing. If no-one thinks for themselves, no-one learns from the mistakes of thinking freely.

Individualism is inherently more risky - but the foundations of our very world were built on the shoulders of individualists who chose to think freely than follow the herd.

"What would your Top 10 items be on SSRP?"

I've answered something similar, but in regards to my five favourite items. The top items, in terms of effectiveness, and in my opinion:

10) Advanced Tripmines

They're a veritible powerhouse; they've ripped special suits (including my Golden Jugg) that people thought were unbeatable, and they're incredibly valuable.

9) Summer/Hell Printer

While I'm not entirely sure which is stronger (clarification is much appreciated), these printers dominate the printing economy, and are amazing additions to a base.

Quad Booster

Incredibly valuable, but equally useful, the Quad Booster allows for the player to quadruple their printer output. This is always a huge help for any base - even if it is one-time use.

7) Hand Cannon

While they are incredibly controversial and have proven to have mixed feelings about them throughout the community, there's no denying they're both popular, valuable items that devastate a base quite easily.

6) Thundergun

This is a classic. One of the first powerful weapons of an age of explosive warfare; the thundergun stands the test of time by being a brutal, unrelenting cannon.

5) Nuclear Launch

Can you stand this trial? The rewards outweigh the risks by this point. Fifteen solid minutes of survival against whatever player force chooses to oppose you - and you're given the ultra-valuable SCU.

4) Super Charged Uranium

One of the most versatile item in the entire game - this offers over 10 different crafting options using just it alone. It's extremely valuable, and a vital necessity to get upgrades, gluons and more.

3) Defibrillator

This might be an odd choice, and some of you might be wondering why I didn't go for the Tactical Insertion Point instead. The Defib is not only a classic, but allows the party to keep going. It's fundamentally a group item, that allows the group to sustain themselves as long as they need to.

2) Gluon Gun

The one expensive weapon that most people have no issue losing. Probably because they're fairly easy to acquire with the use of SCU, but they still stand at over 200 mil. It's an incredibly powerful weapon, but stands out for most as equally one of the most useful in dominating enemies.

1) Mummy Suit

Controversial, but effective. The Mummy Suit is an example of suit powers that can turn the tide of a fight very quickly. Heightened HP, life drain upon the second and third life, and extra lives to boot - there's a reason they're so popular, so valuable, and so few on sale.

What do you think of War Thunder, you've probably heard of that game, would you try to play it and if so for which reason?

"War Thunder?"

I've never played it - I don't really have an interest in games like that. I'm a fan of war games, like Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. But I don't generally enjoy games where I play as only the vehicle. Ironically enough, I am a big fan of getting the vehicles in Battlefield, especially the jets - though I can't fly them for shit.

A fairly realistic depiction of what it's like to be an endgamer in ZARP:

Hey, we reached 1,000 views! That calls for another key to be given out:

Thoughts on stoicism?

Thoughts on stoicism?

Not done too much research on this topic, but if I understand correctly, it's the belief that the majority of life's troubles boil down to an overabundance of emotional reasoning over logical, cohesive, and decisive thought. That stoicism essentially subscribes to the theory that mindfulness, careful thought and logic are a way to live a more healthy, happy life. An interesting philosophy, and I'm fairly sure some of the world's greatest leaders have been in pursuit of such a philosophy. Probably wouldn't work too well when in today's society, everyone just wants their emotional needs met consistently and always. (Forgive me if I've butchered this, I did the bare essential with the research I had at hand.)

I'm resurrecting this; feel free to ask me what you like.

Best pasta?

Best Pasta?

Lasagne. Best pasta there is, honestly. Other than that, I love spaghetti.

Life after death?

Yes. Personally, I think that there's a form of reincarnation after we die. I think everyone who dies, returns to a new body; and starts the cycle again. I think we can't remember what happened. It's possible that someone in ZARP might be Henry VIII's reincarnation!
I honestly think the way it works is that you aren't reincarnated right away. I think it takes a while to sort of dive back in. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it. I don't think there's anything particular patterned, either. But eh, that's just one viewpoint.

What's your opinion on the world and society today, as well as the path it's taking? (Technology, global warming, the pandemic, etc).

Who would say is the best LT on SSRP as of late.

Thoughts on this incredibly interesting topic


(posted this on the wrong thread )

State of the world?

We're unequivocally fucked in many ways, but also making some incredible advancements in other ways. We're pushing the envelope; ever toeing the line between destruction and salvation, hingeing our bets on the smallest glimmers of hope which we fundamentally name "reality", but it couldn't be further from the truth. I think we're trying to just keep going, but the world is still embroiled in conflicts that really should've been over with years ago. Religious persecution is still a thing, racism is still an issue and will always be an issue because people don't like it when someone is different. The internet has made us closer, and pushed us further apart at the same time.

We're slowly creeping towards a pivotal point, and this pandemic has essentially made us stand at that precipice, looking downward into the black abyss, but we're deciding whether we want to let the abyss (the pandemic) consume us, or if we want to keep going. And that's a tall order because there's so much chaos in the world right now.

Anyway, I think I'm excited, but also terrified for the future of humanity. I don't know.

Best LT in SSRP?

Not to make any one feel any kind of way, but Richard is a personal favourite. Not simply because he and I are good friends, but also because he's extremely thorough in everything he does; complete and uncompromising in his approach to what he does, and always looking for ways to make people happy, and to satisfy the various users of ZARP at large. A true renaissance man when it comes to the ZARP Community, I'd say.

Great to see you posting again buddy, short and simple question not sure if you've been asked this before, but have you had the covid vaccine yet?
