I started reading that. Thanks mate.

Why is it not fair? How is it not fair? What right do you have to judge the fairness of a story? Do you not understand that an author simply is trying to explain a series of events to you? If anyone, he is the judge to make a situation fair or not. But what you said still seems to puzzle me. Do stories, in your world, have to always end fairly? Do all the participants have to have equal odds? Give me an example of such a story, please.

As well, do you not know that non-fiction is bound to a relative realism? As in, the author makes a world that can have fantastical features or not, but that this one is structures in such a way that nothing seems inconsistent. This is how fantasy works, you have to enter THEIR world (the on of the author) and not impose whatever you think should be real in it.

Would you stop watching Detective Conan just because it's completely impossible to revert someone's age? Or is the fact that the explanation for that occurrence is more in the bound of our reality making you let it pass? But the case is that who cares how Conan got small, that is not the important bit -the how isn't. No, the important bit is what his BEING small implies to the overall story; and that is one of the most successful bits about Conan.

Please, just because you do not like some personal, 'over generalized' aesthetic part of fantasy, doesn't mean you have to hate all of fantasy. DO you know what all of fantasy implies? Do you think it is some insignificant genre? When you take in an art for you have to shed some of your world restrains; let your mind imagine, let your ideas be free.

Sincerly,

Summarizing in one word, that just means I should love fantasy, no?

As I said, I love fantasy characters, fantasy stories, but hate fantasy itself.

good luck

It was the reasons that your brushed off fantasy, the reasons you gave, to which I was criticizing.
I see you seem to like things which don't exit out of your precious, little view of reality. By, Jove! We cannot have people absorbing ether! No, no, no, that is simply unfathomable!

As I said, I love fantasy characters, fantasy stories, but hate fantasy itself.

Lemme see this, hmmm...
You love fantasy characters? Okay. You like fantasy stories... maybe that's plot lines? Fantasy stories in general? I'm sorry, but could you expand on tha- wait, but now you say you hate fantasy? Man, what is this!?

Just say you don't like flashy things and cut it with the "I hate Fantasy" -because you are not. You are not hating the whole genre. I'm unsure if you even know how vast the fantasy genre can be.

Te gustibus non est disputandum, my friends. There is no accounting for TASTE. Let us embrace and give thanks for the many gifts we have received.

[pacifism]

How do you guys get rid of malware on your computer? I'm afraid I picked some up in the last three days.

[Legio]

I freak out and ask irishron or pannonian.

[Adamat]

Malwarebytes works wonders

[pacifism]

I can see it now. "Keep calm and ask irishron" with an Irish flag on top.

Malwarebytes works wonders

I never tried downloading or installed any anti-malware software because I suspected there might be malware on it.

Yet you seem so sure . . . and my computer is now so slow with random links everywhere. I'll try it.

[General Maximus]

good luck

It turns out, the plot lines go far deeper than I had ever expected. I am going to read all about the plots right from the beginnings of staff revolt.

Each to his own, I'd say. But still, fantasy (or especially high fantasy) is something I dislike.

Have you tried Malwarebytes? It is a great tool.

I too have some malware on my PC, if it can be called that. Sometimes when I click somewhere on any page in my browser, such as clicking 'submit reply' button below my post at TWC, selecting some text on any forum, or even aimlessly clicking to deselect or for the sake of it, suddenly a new page appears displaying prices of mobile phones and Ipads, along with discount.

And apparently it is an Indian site, it's name indicates this.

Malware Bytes = For Malware.
Microsoft Security Essentials = For Viruses.
You won't need anything else.

[Sir Adrian]

Actually you do. MSE doesn't prevent your computer from getting infected and it sometimes fails to pick up viruses so you'll need some form of fire-wall to go with it.


My advice, spend 50 bucks get a decent anti virus such as kaspersky or bitdefender

[Diamat]

I use AVG for my antivirus. It is free and has never let me down.

[Derpy Hooves]

​I use avast. Just got back from my second day of skiing on Wolf Creek in Colorado

[Påsan]

Unrealism. When I see humans vs supernatural creatures, I hate it, because it is not fair. And a lot more things related to fantasy.

I do love the mysterious fantasy, for example in the anime Detective Conan the protagonist is a teenager but gets shrunken into an elementary school boy by a mysterious drug. That kind of fantasy is much better than a witch appearing and casting spells on someone (with awkward lightening colours and such) and suddenly shrinking him.

You seems to have a lot of irrational hate in you, or so you say. But I suppose you'll grow out of it or something.

Also that makes no sense at all.

[General Maximus]

^^ I am dutifully ignoring the post above, because the tone of that post and replying to it would result in a rude argument.

Kaspersky is great if you want something to clean your PC. It uses a lot of RAM when you run it though, at least it did on my PC, so I recommend keeping it in background if you decide to buy it.

Which reminds me, I have to get a new Kaspersky myself. The last one was 2012 and expired a long time ago. Why do antiviruses keep expiring?

Colorado? I got relatives out there. Don't really see much of them, and not because I don't have the time...

Do it. Let the hate flow through you.

[General Maximus]

Do it. Let the hate flow through you.

What I meant by that is that I respect Pasan greatly, just as I do Lyra, Ishan and other members of the Devia, just as I crave to get them as a good friend which I consider them to be. And for that reason, I didn't wish to reply to that post because the contents would require me to be a lot 'informal', and the series of replies and counter-replies would begin an argument, when it will turn somewhat violent.

And also Pasan, Lyra and others, forgive me for my rudeness because it is midnight here and I have been awake for over 24 hours, and will be for a few more. I don't have much idea of what I am typing, and my focus is entirely spread out because at present I am reading a long game manual.

And I am, after all, a teenager. You guys are older and know how to behave, while I just have the same teen uncouthness and 'noobishness'.

Also, that sentence reminds me of Jimmies rustling meme, if I am right it had some kind of gorilla or ape in it.

[Sir Adrian]

Make sure to visit GED Derps, see the site servers, give everyone 10000 rep when he is not looking.

I'm a teenager and I really don't give a crap when they disagree with me. I was also up for 23 straight hours yesterday.

I haven't been sleeping right the last week.
