Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Nobody said facts do not exist. You just keep reading "facts are based on observations" to mean that.

What I said back a page or two was that, scientifically speaking, absolute facts do not exist. You will notice that the words "always" and "never" are generally not used when talking about scientific theory and the like.

What?

"Kicking in the dark" is simply a phrase meaning "you're way off". Similar to the colloquial phrase "taking a shot in the dark". It's not literal, FFS.

i dont need evidence. i am looking at them. it's up to you whether or not to accept it as a fact. also rapidash removed the toes part peaches so he quote her right although the rest of way he said was comic relief.

How can something be fact if it is not absolute? surely if a fact is not absolute then its not actually a fact....

And I think they do indeed exist in gaming, at least thats one example...

What? hes kicking his toes in the dark?

This has no logical basis as first, a human being only has a pair of sets of toes, therefore, he would have to have detached his toes to be able to kick them and in so doing would cause enough pain to his body that he would not by any means wish to kick them about the place regardless of his mental disposition. 😐

And you have a tendency of arguing in language debates? I edited my post and removed that toe part because it's not a widely known metaphor, but it's by no means illogical.

If you want to keep your face in the English language debate, retract this post.

my original post which i was talking to peaches about. when i did say ice and water vapor i was talking to you.

Next time perhaps you should make the context clear, hmm?

i take for this that you must have a brick for a brain to think that is humor

Oh very clever, because every person who enjoys a moment of stupid humor is clearly an idiot. Is that a fact? 🙂

This is the Internet. Sarcasm, jokes and things of the sort aren't so easily apprehended.

how was it not clear? my original post said water is wet. you described ice and water vapor then i asked you a question. then me and peaches continued. you clearly mixed them on purpose, however this is just a theory.

Or I could have simply not paid attention to context, in which case I am at fault. I would also like to point out that to make your argument for water being what it is, you could have said steam instead of water vapor, since it excludes the word "water". Would have made it look better. 🙂

Although I don't have it (not sure if I will get it since I already have all 3 games separately), I gotta admit, the menu theme for it is freakin' sweet.
