This, all those games where elves are all wise treehuggers and lite-druids, all orcs are giganiggas but they also aren't stupid and you're dumb if you assume that, and whatever other races are basically humans but with a special superpower. And they always, always treat humans like second class rabble.
Why are humans always shit? We conquered the planet for crying out loud. There should be a fantasy setting where all the other races look up to humans because of our qualities, be it being inventive, adaptive, agile, hell, I'd accept humans being seen as the strong, or bloodthirsty race. There should be humie-weebs out there, obsessed with the way humans do one thing or another.
>>
>>736222015
Isn't the boon usually that humans are the most versatile race while everyone else is too stuck in their ways?
Like you don't see wizard orcs or berserker elves, but humans can be whatever they want to because they can do anything they put their mind to. It's also why you'll see fantasy worlds full of various races, but 90% of the time, the king of the land is a human.

The issue is versatile just evens out to geneic and boring. Tell me the last time you played a fantasy game where the humans had more than just a regional culture. Look at the cultural differences between England, France, and Germany. A relatively small area of land but very different cultures, yet also somehow sort of homogeneous. And at one time half of one was part of the other or were all part of something else. Nah, we get generic medieval man and generoc medieval man - funny accent.

And all the people who did not endure did not possess this spirit inherent to all humanity? Perhaps they were not human at all, but some other manner of ape that could walk upright?
Maybe the indomitable human spirit is simply a delusion conjured by the mind in an effort to escape the ineffable fear of death, and those who are truly possessed of an indomitable spirit have found the courage to end their own lives, seeing the futility of living another day for what it truly is: futile.

Fuck these clowns. Acknowledging man's ability to persevere against impossible odds is in line with realism. What you have running around in this thread are saddened bums that are miserable and can't comprehend why other people aren't as miserable as they are. There are so many stories of humans going beyond their limitations, as there are many of great failures and fatal ends, but humans keep pushing on. The indomitable human spirit isn't some bullshit anime powers of fighting gods with the power of friendship, it's building a fire in your cave to keep your tribe warm enough to survive one more night under the indifferent stars above. If some of these fucks had their way, we'd still be monkeys in trees pissing themselves at the sight of a snake, they'd mock at the idea of throwing a rock at the beast.

To answer your question, OP, I'd mod the fuck out of SWAT 4 and Ready or Not to get an immersive experience. Even if you are outnumbered, outgunned, and the whole world hates you, it's your job to bring order to chaos.

this is the mind of a weak willed faggot. While the realist confronts the truth, accepts it, and lives in spite of it, the optimist can only delude himself, because he is sustained entirely by positive emotion. He can't comprehend a world where his life is pointless and meaningless but still lived regardless.

Great. I also find joy in the simple things. You don't have to be an optimist to find joy in things. That's a basic human emotion. I just don't view it as a reason to live. I don't need a reason to live at all. I don't tell myself that things will get better because better is relative. I don't tell myself that there is meaning and purpose because those things don't exist outside of the narrow frame of human experience. There are things I enjoy doing but I don't find meaning in them. I do them simply because I enjoy them. I don't need them to live, I was born to live. My heart beats and it will continue to do so whether I want it to or not.
I don't bitch and I don't moan. I accept whatever life throws at me because that's all I can do. Whether I was optimistic about it or not, life's struggles will continue to come and I will continue to overcome them.

The difference between you and I is that you assign greater value to those simple things and you seem to need them whereas I don't.

What absolute truth? That you can do nothing and everything is out of your control? That's just a lie you believe in because you don't want to feel responsible when your life suck.

Outside of some realism mods and cosmetics here and there that are just flavor, I recommend looking into some of the SWAT 4 map mods and No Mercy For Terrorists.

If there is any realistic mod that's a necessity, NMFT is a must because why the fuck shouldn't you drop some guy shooting up a hospital? Why go through the police procedures to a methed out crackhead running at you with a knife? Some situations are just KOS in real life, and it's the one downside I had for the game.

To be fair, they're also held back by game design; it's easier if everyone has the same skeleton, so animations can be shared. Making multiple body types and having to animating each one for opening a door would be maddening and players won't appreciate the effort. So they go the Star Trek route, everyone is a humanoid, optional forehead ridges or knife ears.

I can also claim that an optimist is just a willful cuck who does nothing to fix his circumstances or plan for contingencies because he believes "everything will work itself out"

You can have a hard-working pessimist who thinks he has to do everything himself or protect his family because someone will fuck him over. Not all pessimists are about rejection and quitting and not all optimists are work-driven and smart

Many of you are confusing the indifferent cruelty of the universe with the very motivated sadistic cruelty that is unique to a human that can only live for three quarters of a century. Obviously you should kill your enemies, stop interpreting everything as an attack on your identification with savage violence.

I don’t understand how anyone can be retarded enough to consider themselves an optimist by the literal definition; to think things, generally, end well.

The universe doesn’t care, the government doesn’t care, businesses don’t care. Even people who believe in the Christian god need to cope the banal cruelties of reality away daily. There’s a beauty and an honor in pursuing a moral life in spite of all that, but it’s self made, not writ into the fabric of the universe.

>I can also claim that an optimist is just a willful cuck who does nothing to fix his circumstances or plan for contingencies because he believes "everything will work itself out"
That's just a lazy idiot that uses "optimism" as a justification to do nothing.
>You can have a hard-working pessimist who thinks he has to do everything himself or protect his family because someone will fuck him over.
But he does need to think that what he does matters, no? Or that it's worth for his family to exist in this world. Otherwise what's the point?
My point is, you can be pessimistic about specific things, but having a general pessimistic outlook makes you either suicidal or an hypocrite.

I disagree with this definition: to me an optimist is someone who thinks things can end well, not will.
There is always hope, there is always something you can do, no matter how hopeless the situation is.
That, to me, is what optimism means.

Don't get me wrong, Hell is the bad place, but a good place to start is considering that if God exists, do you want to be in His eternal presence forever?
Because that's ultimately the key distinction between heaven/new earth and Hell. Hell as a place doesn't have very many descriptors besides gnashing of teeth and outer darkness, whether this is poetic or literal though remains to be seen.
It would be nice if God was universalist, but I didn't create the fabric of reality so I'm not gonna tell the creator how to create

Blind optimism is just a better life strategy than blind pessimism. One makes you do mistakes that you could have easily avoided, but the other is just constant self sabotage. Obviously most people in general are somewhere between the two extremes, my point is that since the universe is impossible to understand fully even for a genius, let alone an average person, we rely on mental shortcuts to navigate the world and that regard being skewed towards optimism is better than being skewed towards pessimism.

I wouldn’t want anyone to force themselves to believe it but I strongly believe most people underestimate their ability to believe it. The only advice I can give is (if you haven’t already) to read the four canonical gospels and hold it against some useful form of personal criteria that determines if something is historical evidence. If you can come away with the idea that it’s historical then whether or not it actually can happen is just a matter of philosophy.
>Hopefully he doesn’t burn my mother and father forever.
An overlooked part in Revelations describes non-believers being judged according to their deeds, not belief. It’s worded weirdly in a way that doesn’t explicitly state the point of this judgement but I don’t think it’s happening for no reason

How do you define what a "pointless and meaningless" life means?
What does a non "pointless and meaningless" life look like?
"The universe doesn't care" is a statement that makes no sense, because the only universe you will ever be familiar with is the one you see from your point of view, so you are by default the most important person in it and choosing the kind of person you want to be is a decision that definitely matters.

unfortunately for us, purpose is not a luxury we posses. We are a product of our environment, shaped by our experiences and left to figure shit out from there. It is a burden and unending exercise of the individual alone to find who he is and persist in spite of it.
An axe knows it is one, for he can be nothing but. It can be dulled through extensive use or rusted with time, but regardless of what it’s been through or its quality as an axe, it is still an axe.
The only point at which this is not the case is when it was still unmolded steel. It could have been forged into anything, but it was given purpose as an axe.
Humans are born without one, unlike a tool whose purpose precedes itself

There's one, you don't want to be next to another nihilist, even if you agree with them to some extent.
It also makes for a good excuse to be the shittiest person in the room, who sandbags at every opportunity, and will forget about said convictions as soon as they can if it personally benefits them, they don't even need to remain consistent, they can just do whatever the fuck they want and screw you over, couple that with someone who has no issues lying to get his way, it's too tempting to become a putrid version of yourself if you choose that path.

>>736242670
>their spirit was broken with the Emperor's body
Yet the imperial creed was born from his sacrifice which still sustains them. Humanity is still tenacious, holding their ground, fighting tooth and nail for the emperor's belief that the galaxy is their birthright.
