Remember Elk

Because I honestly have nothing better to do, unless paying attention to the teacher talking is better in which case I don't want to be right.

I don't think I've become more cynical. Been here for about 4 years. Only reason I keep coming back is a group I'm in, tbh.

Have I become more cynical over the last 7 years? Of course I have, I wouldn't say that is because of my time on the site however. Though i have much less of a tolerance for reading some of the absolute drivel that seeps from some community members keyboards.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I don't think that's entirely from age, even new users hate these types of posts, but you do hate them more and more as they continue.

That's what I'm saying.
In the beginning you think that it's an isolated incident that occurs every once and a while, then you think it's just a group of people that got together to stage these that'll go away eventually, then comes the time when you finally accept them as a group that will always exist and you resign all hope.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I don't believe that I am a cynical poster, but our Community has gotten that way over the years. Hopefully this will change after some hype for Destiny starts.

There's no way Nate Hawbaker's favorite hero is Alan Stuart


ALAN IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN!

I'm only cynical to the cynics here. Otherwise I keep myself(relatively) decent.



Seems about right.

Positive vibes.

Hardly. I have certainly grown detached due to a lack of interest, but I wouldn't go as far to say that I have grown to be a cynical member; just one that is not nearly as eager anymore.

Well said.

I have been here long enough and had enough bans to become cynical about lots of things. But... I also still love Bungie and a lot of the people here. The two are not exclusive and I am very happy for that.

  • 09.07.2012 4:59 AM PDT

I prefer not being a party pooper. Nothing sadder than seeing a 3+ year member being condescending towards a new member for a measly thread.

  • 09.07.2012 6:02 AM PDT

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

20 years old, manager of my family's business, aspiring officer of the law.

I love anything political.

Sure, you just get tired of seeing crap day after day. The quality hasn't diminished, but seeing the same thing over and over again bores one and that get translated to your original post.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I've only been one and a half years, but I think we become more cynical because of bad luck that happens to us, and because some of us can't handle the aweosmeness of the titles, and start to rub them in other people's faces.

Cynical? Not so much. For the most part, I find myself reminiscing with members of the community who are also on my xbl friends list. My posts are typically filled with lame inside jokes that only a handful of members understand. I've found a new love for occasional troll post as well. Keeps the boredem at bay...usually.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

As your account ages, would you say YOU have become more cynical through the years?

Maybe by a little bit, but not by much.

  • 09.07.2012 6:46 AM PDT

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

I've only been here for two years, but overall I've become a more intelligent and contributional (that is a word) poster.

Also my coloured title bar makes me feel smarter by default, but that's just mind trickery.

I'm only Cynical on certain things outside of Bnet. I mostly keep to myself on here.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I don't think I wanna be Mythic for that reason
