[12:39.08] <+Catharsis> I also check if something has a new dash version, because that question so often comes up
[12:39.38] <+Catharsis> since the scene doesn't feel it's necessary to include a local ABGX log with the NFO
[12:43.15] <+|werejag|> lol
[12:43.21] <+|werejag|> you shitig me
[12:43.39] <+|werejag|> the scene has never included unessary bs
[12:44.27] <+Catharsis> oh, but they do..  big, stupid ASCII art NFOs, with about 3 lines of actual information
[12:44.28] <+paperc07> ok well I just fixed the topology and it worked using the IMARS copy
[12:45.32] <+airjer> haha ascii art has always been a part of it
[12:46.29] <+Catharsis> an offline ABGX check with no game sector CRC check (which would be useless for this kind of check anyway) takes about 5 seconds, and gives a wealth of information about the ISO.
[12:47.34] <+Catharsis> way more useful than "Holla at ya boi, haters!  If you want to join, have XYZ.  You know where to find us."
[12:48.26] <+Catharsis> yeah, but ascii art is unnecessary bullshit.  you asserted that they have never been about including it.  and yet, there it is.
[12:49.57] <+GMang> it isn't any additional work
[12:50.08] <+GMang> doing abgx is another button to click
[12:50.29] <+Catharsis> less bravado, more info pls
[12:51.39] <+Catharsis> but then the whole "scene" concept is built on a man-child mentality, anyway...  it's not suprising.  just disappointing
[12:52.39] <+Catharsis> people in their mid-20s acting like they are building a treehouse with a rules list that includes "no girls allowed"
[12:53.18] <+|werejag|> Catharsis i see you have no clue
[12:53.34] <+Catharsis> some of the rules make sense.  other rules used to, but no longer do.  and some new rules would be nice.
[12:53.53] <+|werejag|> ummm there are a CONSTANT REDOING OF THE RULES
[12:54.04] <+|werejag|>  wtf you talking about
[12:54.07] <+|werejag|> lol
[12:54.17] <+Catharsis> and this is not TV, so a few seconds does not mean that your release will get stepped on by a slightly faster group
[12:54.54] <+Catharsis> but clearly I have no idea of what I'm talking about.
[12:55.01] <+|werejag|> yep
[12:55.20] <+Catharsis> so carry on, "scene."  carry on.
[12:55.41] <+`chrono> np
[12:55.42] <+`chrono> we will
[12:55.45] <+`chrono> =]
[12:55.51] <+|werejag|> :)
[12:55.57] <+airjer> lol
[12:56.18] <+`chrono> theres a reason for all those rules
[12:56.26] <+|werejag|> its always funny hearing noobs complain about something they should do
[12:56.40] <+`chrono> the same reason the goverment makes laws
[12:56.45] <+`chrono> the scene has laws
[12:56.48] <+|werejag|> spent more time whining like a 5y old
[12:56.50] <+`chrono> because humanity is ignorant
[12:58.03] <+Catharsis> and yet it was tooth and nails to have the rule about disallowing non-0800 rips implemented
[12:58.43] <+Catharsis> because people didn't want to stop using their kreon drives
[12:58.59] <+`chrono> hey if you blog about it, it might make someone care
[12:59.07] <+`chrono> otherwise
[12:59.07] <+`chrono> care-meter: E _· ' ·. F
[12:59.08] <+Catharsis> that's the spirit
[13:01.29] <+Catharsis> quality of work takes a back seat to ego.
[13:01.55] <+Catharsis> and status quo
[13:04.04] <+Catharsis> and label any critisism as the "whining" of a "noob"
