MinaciousGrace quotes

[flashflash account]

MinaciousGrace is my favorite user on this site. As you can see I've already got one quote from them in my sig, but I've decided to upgrade to fit as many snappy one liners in my Sig as possible. This is where you all come jn. The shorter the quote you have, the better. If you have any personal favorites from mina share them here.

NASA should be using stepmania to do fluid dynamic simulations

Let me break this down clearly for you. This whole "hahaha sm5 is fucking shiet" thing isn't some "new development", it's been going on ever since sm5 existed. When the sm5 beta first began in 2008/9/10, whatever it was, keyboard players came to the repo to suggest things they wanted to see implemented into the game. Can we have x feature, y feature, the few things we thought were missing from 3.95 that would have the greatest positive impact on our gameplay experience. Waveform and filter support in the in-game editor. Better screenshot management capabilities or replays. A functional song search.

"Song search? Who needs song search when you have 25 different sort orders? Besides, how can anyone on an arcade cab use text based song search feature? What are they going to enter every letter by hitting arrow keys? Are they going to search strings of directional arrow inputs? LOL! Fucking dumbass ignorant keyboard players."

This was the kind of response we'd get from kyz. If it wasn't that, we were ignored. At best the things we wanted took ages to get implemented with no visible feedback, and when finally complete, they were either already obsolete or unwieldy to the point of uselessness. After a couple of years of this bullshit pretty soon the only feedback the kb community was giving sm5 was "hey can you make the game run as smooth as 3.95 because it really feels like shit in comparison and since you give us literally no features we care about there's no reason to use sm5".

"You dumbfuck ignorant kb players have no idea what you're talking about. You aren't even on the stepmania core development team. Stepmania is coded to absolute perfection. It's impossible to make it any better or faster and in fact it is objectively better and faster than 3.95 in every way you're just stupid and ignorant. Why do you need more than 60 fps anyway? Arcade cabinets don't need it why do you? You're not even developers just shut up and accept what we give you."

Again this was/is the typical response from your development team. The majority of the competitive kb scene just said fuck it. 3.95 it is. If an up and coming player had started on sm5? We literally felt sorry for them. It was literally a shame they started on the newer version of the game. I want you to stop and take a moment to just fucking process that.

Now of course you know what? People were beyond it. We didn't give any suggestions to the sm5 dev team. We didn't give any complaints. We just spent years playing on 3.95 minding our own goddamn business until lo, behold. Kyz decides it's time to come to our community. Make an inquiry, a legitimate one, to be fair, into why people in the keyboard community still use 3.95. When people voice the same concerns they have over the years he gives the same responses.

"You ignorant keyboard players. We can't make features that are keyboard only because how would pad use them? The game is literally coded to the best it can possibly be. In fact NASA should be using stepmania to do fluid dynamic simulations. The things you want don't matter you're all retarded for not using sm5 the game runs better than 3.95 fuck you all you're all shit you aren't developers or coders therefore I know better please play my game my life has no meaning if you don't."

So no. This isn't a fucking "new" thing. Your development team spent years dismissing/insulting the keyboard playing community and eroding any confidence or trust we had in you while simultaneously making the game completely fucking unplayable for us. And you don't get to pull the "that's kyz not me" bullshit. He was an official member of the core development team for years. He was a member of the core development team when he came to our community and fucking berated us for not using sm5 when nobody even cared about it anymore. And then you came in the aftermath and treated it like we were just some uppity W H I N Y B O Y S in some random little community that didn't fucking matter.

Yeah. Fuck you. That exact dismissive condescension is why you have no currency left with us. By allowing him to retain any "official" status you've made yourself complicit in everything he's said or done.

And you know what, it's one thing if you're right. It's one thing if indeed we were all just fucking morons and nothing we wanted was actually feasible and the game really was just coded to perfection and nothing could have been done about it, but it wasn't. Everything Kyz said was either born of complete and total ignorance or a fucking bald faced lie.

I had literally 0 minutes of any compiled language experience before I decided to download the repo, performance profile it and see how far I could get making adjustments. Within 20 hours I had more than tripled framerate. All this fuck-assery about the game being hyper-optimal was total fucking garbage. In fact my total hours spent on development in the last year probably doesn't even exceed 400 hours. So you don't get to use that "hahahah xDDDD IM SOOOO BUSY work!!! LOLOLOL I HAVE A LIFE LOSER EXCUSE ME IF I DONT SPEND MORE TIME DOING DEVELOPMENT WORK THAN GOING ON FORUMS AND DEFENDING THE GAME I DONT WORK ON LOL HAHAHA xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD" excuse either.

You spent the last 10 years making this bed. You let Kyz piss, shit, and cum on your not-even-nsfw body pillows the whole time. I don't care if he doesn't have commit access anymore. He's still listed as a stepmania dev team member on reddit. Kyz still tries to accuse of me of "stealing" code he wrote that is freely available on an open source project. He does go around to take every opportunity to shit on Etterna, and because he's still tagged as a dev, his words are your words. You ignored, insulted, looked down on and lashed out at us, sometimes simultaneously. And then it turned out you were all fucking full of shit.

So maybe now you can see where we, or at least I, am coming from. You don't get to come in here with this entirely unjustified holier-than-thou attitude and claim you're being treated unfairly. You don't get to whine about being "bagged on" by some "random little community in a corner pocket of the internet". No you're getting exactly what you deserve. And the funny thing? People don't call sm5 vanilla garbage in the context of kb play because we're buttmad about all the shit you gave us for the last 10 years.

People call it garbage, because compared to Etterna, it is.

That first bit is great. I'm also looking for more contextless stuff that isn't entirely stepmania related, so stuff from the off topic threads would be perfect too.

[the sun fan]

If his entire online presence is centered around either
a) telling people how stupid they are
b) posting things about the stepmanias
then I'd argue he's a pretty bad presence

Aside from the stepmania rants above, most of the times that I've seen him talking at someone, he is as guilty of the same faults he is yelling at other people, and looks worse off because of how he talks to people

Either way, if you want to look at his posts, you can look at his entire post history on FFR by going to his profile, hovering over "MinaciousGrace's Profile" and then clicking on All Posts.

EDIT: B isn't a bad thing, I'm mainly just talking about the only two things I've ever seen him do.

if it's a given then why do people keep getting defensive and butthurt and ignore salient points. clearly they don't get it, and they keep saying stupid things, and i keep calling those things stupid, and i keep calling those people who keep saying stupid things while ignoring logic and facts, stupid people

it's not a hard concept

see that's my point, you don't get it, it's not about me "winning", it's about you being stupid in order to validate being stupid so you can justify calling me stupid

i mean you're right, everyone is stupid, anyone who actually knows me knows that this is a fundamental core belief of mine and it's something derived from actual reasoning and not just some edgy psuedointellectual joker card you can play on the internet

you're wrong about being proud though, i mean it guess it depends on how you define pride

anyway you basically proved all my points, again, like the rest of you

you make me want to talk to you a little bit more
its surprising

putting this in after typing everything, I think I've met enough people like you before. The worst professor I've ever had was very similar to you; its actually quite striking. I think I can't find it anything other than cathartic to say what I've said, perhaps that is the explanation for this post. I hate people like you, ultimately. Instead of dying and leaving no mark on the world, you have a higher chance of leaving a negative mark on the world by making the people who have the misfortune of talking to you mostly leaving without thinking anything other than "Wow, that guy sure is an asshole" or something along those lines. Because people are stupid, they will always, always continue to say stupid things. And I will continue to see you posting long posts of ultimately no meaning that the person you accost will almost certainly either skim over with glazed eyes, or discard because of the nature in which you treat other people. And I will continue to see them until I decide to follow in the steps of dAnceguy and put you on my ignore list.

I am faulted, I make no claims to not be. I am guilty of what I am accusing you of, and even if I didn't accuse you of pointing out other people's stupidity in a stupid way, I would still be guilty.

I believe everyone is stupid as a core belief of mine as well, and from skimming some of your other posts I believed that you believed it as well.

I understand that I am proving your points by mostly not engaging you.

I don't care that I am faulted though. I don't care that I will almost certainly die without making any kind of serious impact upon the world.

I used "win" because I know you are going to use me not responding as proving your argument, and I am. If you were had a shorter nose to look down upon people that don't jerk off your brain, maybe we'd have something here. I know I am proving your point.

The difference here is that most people can stand me. Most people I've talked to on this site enjoy talking to me, and I enjoy talking to most people on this site instead of railing at them about how stupid they are. I can at least make the claim that despite other people being stupid, we can enjoy one another for the most part, and if we don't, its rare that we part on bad terms. I get to look forward to meeting most of these other stupid people every year, and spending time with them. You are yourself, stupid in a manner similar to whoever you were yelling at about geocaching because ArrowSmasher8712 isn't going to stop geocaching because some asshole yelled at them about how it is ultimately a waste of time and they cannot comprehend the words you are saying because of their low level of reading comprehension.

If someone and I disagree on something, which considering I spend almost all of my free time thinking about a stupid game that I primarily play on this website about talking to other people about why you want to lynch someone in an ultimately incredible distraction, then we can talk about it mostly levelheaded.

I want to be clear that I am not saying I have happiness and friends and you don't. Again, I've seen too much of the world to believe anything along the lines of "Mean people are unhappy and/or friendless."

I also want to be clear that I think you are more intelligent than myself to an unknown degree.

You can take whatever points you want from this. Regardless of what I say and what you say, we both know that this ends ultimately with neither of us gaining any respect or appreciation for one another.

You're an asshole. I don't care that I prove your points. I don't care that Steph Curry missed that shot. If you weren't, I might talk to you more than this post and the last one. I would love to not see your avatar again because most of your posts suck and you make this place worse in my opinion.

i know you need to believe this, and so you will, but it requires assuming that nothing beyond my ffr posts exists in my life, and if you are going to dig your heels in on that point that's fine

the problem is i spent a decade working in and around statistical offices in third world countries for various ngos working on among other things reducing vaccine wasteage rates by developing structures and methods for improving denominator estimates, reducing the number of vaccine preventable deaths before 5 years of age in areas of the world with the highest child mortality

maybe that's how i justify being an asshole and that makes me even more of an asshole, i don't know, it doesn't really matter to me; i don't solve problems to help people, i do it to solve problems, that's how i affirm my existence

that's not the difference, or at least, it's derivative of the fact that you want people to stand you because you affirm your existence through that and you will disregard logic and reason and project deeply rooted negative biases about anyone who doesn't act the same way towards you or others around you

you know, which is my point

no you're wrong again, my opinion of you is objectively higher now

[rayword45]

I personally find his posts amusing, his transparent desperation to come off as smarter than the whole site through antagonistic walls of text is funny stuff

When I call people stupid on other websites I usually stick to one sentence fragment, dudes got dedication

Have you seen one of minas posts, how am i,a lowly member going to find the wheat among the stepmania tares?

Also mina is legit a genius without even trying idk what you're talking about

Also, this gonna be a roasting thread? Feels like it's gonna be a roasting thread.

Quick, get the marshmallows!

[SKG_Scintill]

"i have no idea what you are talking about"

[MinaciousGrace]

is this going to be an actual roast thread in ct because i would love to get the chance to pick apart perceived or legitimate complaints about me with other people lodging actual responses that extend beyond "wow ur so mean!"

give me an example

you probably can't because you're just assuming that quality of me in order to rationalize your belief that people who are antagonistic or confrontational or "mean" can't have valid points or be right, which is stupid, the assumption part, the rationalization part, and the belief you're trying to rationalize, it's not just stupid, it's hat trick stupid.

i'm not saying this because i think it's impossible or unlikely that i've been demonstrably hypocritical, the nature of human existence is a layered miasma of cognitive dissonance. on the other hand i have fewer layers than most and the probability that you would actually be able to realize it and formulate an airtight argument in order to prove it is even smaller, and the probability that you would actually spend the time to try is even smaller than that

assuming you get that far the probability that you'll convince me is basically 0 and that's because my abnormally high level of self awareness is matched only by my ability for self deception

on the other hand if at least you tried you wouldn't be the internet equivalent of that dude shouting at steph curry from a couch about how you could have made that shot he just missed if you cared enough to be good

i'm going to pre-empt you looking really stupid if you try to point out that we're both making qualitative assumptions about each other and stress that what i find at fault is that you don't have the capacity or willingness to make the case for yours, and by saying this i'm also giving you a really easy opportunity to show me up because i've qualified the bar for your vindication not at an actual triumph but at any attempt by you, which you would have to be, you know

really fucking stupid to pass up

Originally Posted by rayword45

i mean i see this a lot from people who have never actually held a discussion or argument with me so here's a simple thought exercise you can do without having to interact with me:

if that were my goal why would i constantly provoke abject emotional reactions to well laid thought by generally being a condescending asshole

i wouldnt, funny how logic works right

Originally Posted by rayword45

i also call people stupid without context or supporting argument that's certainly an admirable pursuit

if mina was a joke I wouldn't be quoting them in my sig

everything i do somehow ends up being a joke anyway in fact I expect this thread to be locked but thought it might be okay given how much of ffr is ultimately spam anyway

i don't really know you outside the few games of twg i played with you, but i don't think you're a joke. i'm also not around this community much, but i think most of this site likes/tolerates mina, so it's fair game to make this thread

but the quote in your sig, you do realize that was directed at raeko, right? she's super sweet. there's a reason why some people (including me) don't like this guy.
