Hmm....well, I think you're ventilating out some kind of suppressed hate, or just straight up exaggerating. It would be able to tell if I knew you personally or heard you up close but on an internet forum it could be either one, but yes, it's not healthy in any form, not for your image and not for your mental. You're just exhausting your fingers when you look angry on the internet.
I'm kind of contradicting what I said earlier by actually offering advice but you kind of asked for it so here's a tip. The most perfect "owns" I've seen on internet forums aren't supposed to look like you do when you get into arguments. Look at Xray, look at Maybe, look at Block, look at EminemFase, look at Amadeo, hell look at that Zephos guy that diction is 6'9ing. They use insults, but they know how to place them, and they do it with taste and nobility. They all have completely destroyed people in contests of who can shit on who, but they have never done it through eruption of agitation and when EmFace actually did do that against Jaz it almost made it look like he lost.
One of the main reasons I think diction holds class in a higher pedestal as a debater is because of how indifferent he is. When you display irritation and your opponent doesn't you're letting them know that they've affected you more than you have affected them. Nogger succeeded in what he was trying to do here and your insults didn't affect him in the slightest bit because 1.) You don't actually know him, so nothing you said actually applied to him and therefore he doesn't feel any "impact" from it, and 2.) He expects you to insult him, the fact that you actually typed out more 5x more than he expected would only make him lol harder.
So yes, you should try to control your anger more on the internet. Anger is a thinner back-up armor for neanderthals to jump into. You look better when you're trying to make your opponent's post look bad, rather than trying to make your insult look good, if you know what I'm saying.
What do you think of me, Satire ?
I've already said what I think of you but I'm going to elaborate this time. First off, I like you. You remind me of a more concentrated dosage of Master Chief, as a reference to me saying he's a cross between you, Venom & Miller.
And you're obviously seeking to help the forum so I respect you, and you're a cool person when you're not too busy swinging your dual-action toy lightsaber at obvious trolls but you've had the shakiest evolution as a poster I've ever seen. When you first started posting in the Backstage & Chit-Chat you seemed like you were trying really hard to fit in with the constant picture posting and the involvement in Ponies (which were all used very out of place when you first started using them btw, don't worry you've gotten better).
It's obvious that there used to be (or, still is) some kind of tension you were hiding between us and I didn't know what that was about but I could feel it. When you made that "diss" track with Say What You Say I literally lol'd (which brings me back to my first answer that breathing in > flipping out) and brushed you off because I knew Master Chief would get mad and flip out on you before I would have to. That's why I think you guys share more similarities than you show awareness of. Though, I think he expresses his thoughts more focused.
Like class said, since then, you have gotten better and are a little more animated as a poster (at times, too animated), but you still aren't "there" yet. There are times when I feel you're too much of a "next-door neighbor" character (lol, I'll let you interpret that yourself). You haven't displayed the full personality other than getting mad, so you're one of those people I mentioned to diction that still have time to grow and expand. I hope this helped.
TL;DR: You're cool, I like you, you're trying to add to the community, you need to mellow out like Chief & you're still growing.
What's your favorite Atmosphere album ?
This is fucking hard. They've pushed out too many quality albums of different styles, all of which are lyrically consistent and I like the production on everything past Se7en.
I guess the order of how I rank their albums is God Loves Ugly = Lemons > You Can't Imagine > Lucy Ford > Family Sign > Seven's Travels > Overcast.
Lemons & God Loves Ugly were my first two downloads from Atmosphere (by random choice because of the covers, lol) and I feel like I was destined for Slug's music because I made the right choices. God Loves Ugly had such a great theme/feel to it while Lemons has some of the best story-telling I've ever had as well as classy production. I guess if I had to choose one it'd be GLU.
God Loves Ugly is somewhat like the MMLP of Slug. There's classics all over this album.
"I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp, I live my life like the captain of a sinking ship"
He has this aggressive, arrogant attitude and edgy sound through out the album that just says "You all fucking suck, now let me tell you why". I love it, the dark "atmosphere" (lulz) of the record, the simple at times, sparse at others yet at all times effective production that Ant provides, Slug's youthfully energetic delivery and hunger...I know you'd think who am I to say this after creating
that thread, but this is one of those albums that
is a hip hop essential.
Lemons was a completely different side of Slug that his old fans either loved or disliked but imo, still amazing all around. It had some of the best story telling I've ever heard, relateable content from so many different perspectives and it's probably in my top 30 in the most well-produced hip hop albums too.
