Can I make it into a cake?


Oh wait... Yahoo is so beyond expiration date that I might get food poisoning.


This entire thread is making me want to vomit, pardon the expression, ad nauseum. I'm pretty sure China would rather let sleeping dogs lie than to intervene and convince NK to back down. Same goes with Russia, they're both NK's personal sycophants.

I hate to say this but we are at a crucial point here. If Kim Jong Un Approves the plans that his generals have created for the missile strike near Guam later this month then there is a 80% chance that the American government will hit directly NK OR they will hit NKs missiles before they land between 30-40km away from Guam.

Remember kim isn't the only unpredictable one here, trump too is the type who can over react in situations like this. Based on what i have seen about trump and based on what i have seen regarding his current actions as president. He and the american generals will never allow NK to be a nuclear power in our current world and nor will they ever allow NK to carry out these strikes. Since if trump sat back and allowed NK to carry out these missile strikes then he would essentially allow kim to get the better of him and trump just isn't that type of man.

So war at this point is inevitable. Diplomacy could work but that would only be through regime change(which at this point can only happen through a war) and the reunification of the Korean peninsula.

My heart goes out towards the South Koreans and the Japanese as well as to the american troops who are stationed in either SK or Japan since the moment this war breaks out and believe me it will, they will probably be the first on kims shitlist. But if this war breaks out then of course we will win but the death toll will be catastrophic. Can i also say that i feel sorry for the north Korean populace who probably live a wretched existence under kims regime.

Those people did nothing wrong but they will most likely be killed by the thousands in the american missile strikes that are carried out when america finally ends kims regime.

And it wont stop there since i can totally see Trump starting shit with Iran who also are North Korea Version II and they cant be allowed to have nukes.

Our worlds 3 biggest threats right now are:
1. NK
2. Iran
3. Isis (yes their last because they dont have nukes yet)

I advise everyone to keep an eye on the news this month and just pray that the casualties on all sides are low.
You are wrong
Our worlds 3 biggest threats right now are:
1. Donald Trump
2. The other world leaders standing by and doing nothing to stop him
3. The people of America and the world also standing by and doing nothing to stop him

Trump is the biggest thread to the world and how people can't see this totally blows my mind.

Sure.
Well, not exactly sure.
Sure they wouldn't want NK to cease to exist, it's existence is convenient and strategic for both of them, specially for China.
But the instabilities that crazy Kim produces also don't serve Chinese interests.
I would bet you if China could replace Kim with a more obedient puppet, stop the scalation but keep the NK state existing and useful for their purposes, they would sure do. It is only that it is not so easy to fulfill all of those requirements. (and nobody is a saint to begin with)

If my Yahoo Cake made you want to vomit, I am sorry, it also gave me a stomachache.
I will try to use fresh ingredients from now on.

Again, Trump is a brainless moron. Proven again. Talks like a 5-year old. He's ridiculous. Even François Hollande, the most spineless president in the history of France, would've handled this better.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also don't get me wrong, Kim Jong Un is the same kind of guy, i.e. a retarded teenager who wants to bomb the world.

And you think that Obama would have done anything about it? He sure as hell didn't do anything to or make any conceited efforts to stop or curtail North Korea during his eight year tenure. *Shrug*. Prove me wrong. Bush didn't do anything, either. No POTUS really did anything to stop that NK dingus.

You missed my point, Obama wouldn't have straight up asked for a nuclear war.

Oh, so he would've just sat there, twiddling his thumbs for NK to make their move and use it as a reason to strike? Or did he expect them to be a good little boy and put his toys away on his own initiative? Gotcha. Yeah, I call BS. Obama would've have done a damn thing to prevent an attack.

All is right, if there is nuclear war the west will survive mostly.
And regarding fallout, well we have cas9/crispr going around now.
We just put some more research into it, mix some cockroach genes into ours and become more tolerant to radioactivity.
It all will work out.

Nope, because NK was not a threat until now. They are China's little dog. China can litterally kill their economy by the push of a button.

Exactly if you see a crazed animal in the street the last thing you want to do is repeatedly poke it with a stick. Trump is not only poking with the stick he is trying to poke it up the ass of the crazy animal.

Then what do you propose we do? Sit idly by anyways? Sitting and not doing anything isn't going to make it go away. Kim is like cancer, the more we wait, the worse it gets.


NK government bastards, I hope they get taken out.

Kim Jong Un has been acting like an excited teenager since he is in power, and nobody said anything. Because despite him being an idiot, he was not a threat. Ubntil Trump and is ridiculously bad diplomacy skills.

Our worlds 3 biggest threats right now are:
1. Donald Trump. Every sane person agrees but this guy isnt as insane as Kim.They are similar but not the same. Plus his power has limitations more on that below.
2. The other world leaders standing by and doing nothing to stop him? How can other world leaders stop him? i mean anyone can see that Kim himself is to blame for his repeated tests and provocations towards america. Also not to mention the fact that North Koreans have been raised with the philosophy that america will one day come for them and thus they should hate america.
3. The people of America and the world also standing by and doing nothing to stop him. At the moment Donald trumps approval rating is at 38% meaning that only 8% of Americans approve his action where as 56% disapprove. So using this it is safe to say that the majority over 50% of americans are against the guy and what he stands for as well as what he is doing. Not to mention the fact that as i said the FBI is properly investigating him and he is shaking in his boots rest assured. Aside from what i said, there isnt much else the american people can do at least not legally. So i think the Americans are trying their best to get rid of DT so it is just a matter of waiting and seeing how it plays out.

DT will be stopped eventually. The FBI are busy investigating him and eventually they will find his ditry dealing or well enough of them that can have him impeached. They recently raided his campaign leaders house. So it is just a matter of time.

The only question is whether or not kim and his regime will be around before trump is impeached because if Trump starts a war with them then there is no way in hell he will be impeached since the FBI probably will be more focused on the war and espionage rather than internal conflicts(simpply because kim is unpredictable and his attacks will be everywhere and anywhere). I mean if war breaks out it will be one that this world has never seen before since it is one of nukes.

I EDITED your post with replies above. So read the quote above.

But do remember that congress cannot stop trump from taking the U.S to war since according to american law if there is enough evidence that NK is going to attack then the American homeland needs to be protected and thus they cant stop trumps actions at least not immediately. If you read the source below you will see that trump can start a war within a 48 hour window before Congress stop him. So as i said above his power is limited.




At the end of the day no sane person would want to go to war or to start one. But we are living in a world where lunatics and evil rule and thus my friend war is looking to be the endgame at least in regards to the topic at hand.

Edit: Trump can be easily surpressed by congress and even his own staff. He is on a tight leash.

if North Korea was that easy to be taken out it would have been done years ago.

they have nukes, which could kill millions of South Koreans or Japanese?

why take the risk?

people who are like North this and North that. i bet you would not join the army cause you can bitch behind your computer screen.

like its been said "does anyone think the North Koreans will welcome you as liberators?"


well the image below shows what the north thinks of us!

I think it's hilarious that people think Clinton would've done better than another POTUS, when we don't have any proof of that. People are still bitter she lost, plain and simple, and seeing her lose gave me a lot of schadenfreude.

I do agree with you that neither potential POTUS was a good candidate. But at the same time i believe she is the lesser of two evils and that is my opinion.

See? Opinions like this should be respected, and not having political agendas shoved down our tailpipes, that's how political discussions should go. What irks me is when people attack others for supporting either candidate, and act as though their opinion is law and if you don't respect it, you get verbally emasculated.

Why don't we bomb North Korea? Or at least where Kim lives. What a lard.

Nah.. You dont get it, do you ? THINK! Only when humans are finally gone. Yeah, that's right.

Humans are a naturally disruptive and violent species who can't respect members of their own kind for the slightest of differences, like religion, or sexual orientation, or disability, or skin colour, or other things. War starts at the drop of a hat, people are murdered, raped, assaulted, tortured, robbed, and stripped of their rights every day. We, as a group, have done so much harm to this world and what little good we've managed to achieve isn't able to catch up.

The only way for the world to be peaceful is for humans to die out as a species. Sure, animals aren't the most peaceful beings, but they can never be as disruptive as people.

And

A great way to understand how our future will look is by looking at our history as human beings. There may have been times where a momentary "peace" was acquired but it never last. AS long as a thing called POWER, HATE, LUST and MONEY exists there will never be world peace.

HUMANS ARE THE PROBLEM, PERIOD.

So we just let that Kim Jong Ungulate sit there and let him get more powerful until he sets a missile on his own people, the US, Japan, etc, then someone intervenes? You would rather millions die at his hand before he's stopped? I'm sorry, but people like him don't have the right to be called a human being.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
