I suppose most people here are playing -- or have played -- the new translation of Der Langrisser. Even through the telling of the story as well as it has been, a full understanding of the game's plot is impossible because the creators of the plot themselves, being unaware of these analytical techniques and objective awarenesses, could not know how they created it between themselves.
Ok, please don't take this the wrong way. I respect your theories and such, but you're seriously, seriously overanalyzing things too much.

Der Langrisser is a fictional video game, pitting a few rather basic ideals against each other. That's all it is, a little diversion to have fun with. Each person can answer various personality questions and see how that takes them through the story. That's all it is -- a game.

bsnes is an emulator I work on because I have a certain set of ideals. ZSNES has their own. We try and work together whenever possible anyway, but obviously we are separate projects so 100% of our work isn't shared between our two products. If it were, there'd be no reason for two emulators in the first place.

That's really all there is to the points you've been trying to make. While sure, you can try and break things down into psychological explanantions such as how one's political beliefs influences our decisions here with our emulators and translations -- it really isn't needed. It doesn't change anything at all.

And honestly, from what I've seen thus far -- virtually nobody here, myself included, has any idea what you're talking about; given we are not versed in the specific psychology theories you're talking about. As such, you're garnering pretty much consistent ridicule from the typical court jesters of our forum. I would honestly recommend bringing up your points on a forum more suited to psychology, which you can probably get a better response from.

And then watch as psycholgy experts/student laugh at him for overanalyzing a videogame?

That might be too harsh.

Who knows. Perhaps they'll start analyzing him to try and make sweeping generalizations. But perhaps they also enjoy overanalyzing things like video games, so he may fit right in. Nonetheless, he can't do any worse than he's already doing here ...

Please don't confuse analytical psychology (jung's take) with standard psychology (or psychiatry).

Psychiatrists are doctors. They will prescribe mostly medical treatments to make your brain work around its issues (whatever they may be). Various drugs involved, if there are none for your case you're kinda screwed.

Psychologists aren't doctors (can't prescribe drugs), but they have a diploma in psychology. Psychology is trying to help the patient deal himself with his issues by helping him accept/realize what they are and why these issues exist. The patient has to work them out by himself. Guiding the patient on a specific path is close to brainwashing and thus malpractice. Can be effective or not, depends the skills of the psy to unveil the causes while doing minimal damage to the patient's structure - also depends a lot on the patient, since he'll be the one working on himself from the gathered information.

Jung's psychoanalysis... gives a bad name to the other psy* disciplines (people usually assimilate all of them psy* to one thing), with people like the OP here spewing bullshit that sounds intelligent but is closer to philosophy (moving air for the sake of moving air) than actually helping people who need it. Anyone who reads enough books can dub himself psychoanalyst in most countries and spew bullshit that sounds smart and moves air.

Even if it may really anger OP and his kin worldwide, it's a known fact - you're crap. Stop trying and let those who studied real stuff for years fix people properly. Philosophy will only go so far, after that it's only fun for people with time to waste.

I think Grinvader is mostly on target.

Btw, is it just me or getting "psychoanalyzed" is like, the biggest National sports in France? (after foot maybe) I often hear about French people who had a two...three...sometimes five year "analysis" and I'm like WTF? Dude/lady, if you had this much cash to give away to some crook to basically hear yourself talk while not being one bit closer to truly understanding yourself, why not give all this money to some third world country? Anyway, people...

edit I still think playing the pseudo-philosopher and producing semi-coherent sentences that could be made by your average spambot while giving the impressions of sounding intelligent is fun though.


Post modern pre-post war retro capitalism analysis by Snark

The congruent self-sufficiency of post WW2 period is at the heart of the new neo industrialo-modern phenomenas while seemingly paralleling the fast and growing unrest divisions of pluro-lateral industrials sectors that are still fighting among the recurring themes of growing demands of emerging markets.

I already have enough psychology in my life though. My sister majored in psychology, specializing in child psychology.

Who had to take all those tests for practice? Me.

"If you could be tree, which kind of tree would you prefer to be?"

Yeah, and thanks to some oath they have to take, and that applying tests to relatives is a no-no in psychology, I never knew my results.

Still, it's cool to read how other people try to classify others, just for some to come and say "I'm not totally like that."
