Super Smash Bros. 4

A person's view of himself may be realistic. Or it may not. Just as someone else's view may or may not be accurate.

If I watch TV and see a person there, I won't assume the person is tiny and inside the actual box. That is not realistic. Therefore, the way we view others (via TV in this case) is most certainly not realistic.
You should do research about this. I suggest reading Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics before debating this. It's not that long, and you only need to read Chapter 2.
 
Dude. You're telling me to research comics to learn about metaphysical concepts. I cannot, especially if what I've seen so far tells me it's not worth it.
 
Cartoons and the idea behind it is all around us. This explains the concept of the icon.
Why do you think this is so iconic?

If he looked realistic, would it be the same?



Learning how your brain responds to such things is something worth learning. Unless you want to stay ingnorant about how your brain views things :lol:. If you don't know how it's doing it then it's called manipulation.

I find learning the correct answer more useful over the incorrect one. Moreso when it involves reality and the function of the brain and mind.

Because it's part of a popular RPG video game. Little to do with the character itself.

Saying otherwise would be delusional. However, a realistic version would have minimal effect on Fallout itself.

Reality is only perceived. Reality is a mindset rather then a law. This reality is only proven to yourself by yourself, not by others. Your reality is merely electrical signals sent to your brain. Understanding how your interpreter (your brain) works is important. If you choose to ignore how it works then I really can't do anything about it.

I meant, would the picture have the same effect if it were more realistic? People are drawn to cartoonish pictures for a reason. Such is why realist painters aren't as praised as the impressionists. I am trying to tell you the reason but if you think you understand why, then enlighten me.

Please don't tell me there is no such thing as reality. Please don't. That's what separates the sane from the insane. Those who are insane are in that condition because they fail to recognize reality. No, I'm not making this up.

Reality and perceived notions are total opposites. It isn't dependent on perceived things. That's why it's reality. People in the TV box are perceived as miniature, but in reality they have an actual normal height.

Again, I'd be delusional if I were to say otherwise. Clearly different images. I do have to point out that the realism in art you speak of is very different from the standard definition.

I did not say reality doesn't exist. But I did say reality is only perceived and that is not wrong. Reality might never change but your perception does. What you're talking about is the insane's perception on reality is warped. What most people call reality is only their perception of reality. We actually don't know what reality is exactly. How can we?

It might be more accurate to say that reality is the common perception of reality. Sanity is the acceptance of the common perception of reality. Therefore sanity can change if the common perception is changed.


This is way off topic
 
You did say reality is a mindset rather than law. Whereas in actuality, it's the other way around. Reality is fact, and perceptions are antithetical to it.
 
Facts are the same thing.
There is no way to prove them because it's based on perception. The very definition of observation is perception. However "facts" can changed and are accepted in the common perspective of reality.

Reality is a mindset. Because everyone can have a different idea about it. There are three forms of realtiy

1. Our View of Truth (Mindset)
2. The Commonly Accepted View of Truth
3. Truth itself

What you really mean when you talk about reality is Truth. Truth just exists and cannot be proven.
 
3 realities according to you... I'm out. I can't possibly fix this. Karpmod is right about you.
:lol:
How much trust do we put in our own perspectives, experiences, and observations?
Those deal with the perceived reality and are only our thoughts about what truth is. By combining individuals perceptions cultures have developed a commonly accepted view on reality.
Truth itself is much more real than our imaginations and perceptions.
 
The more simplified something get's the more iconic it becomes.

ohai CoD

A lot of people regard OoT as being the best Zelda game to date. Also, Windwaker really had no hype on release because everybody was expecting another OoT/Majora's Mask type game.

Don't forget all the butthurt 'bout cel shading... ._.

lolwut

This is way off topic

thnx obviousknight

3. Truth itself

I believe Absolute Truth is the phrase you're fetchin' for.
 
Anything is relatively iconic. People are considered iconic. Paintings, music, logos. However, when arguing about what is more iconic sides to what is more memorable- and what people will refer to in the form of a picture or something related to represent it. If talking Zelda, OoT is more iconic than WW. However, the hylian shield or triforce is going to be more iconic than any representation of Link.
 
I was simply comparing the character not the game.
But what I am trying to say is why things are iconic and why Toon Link is more iconic then normal Link.
Although you are right that the Triforce is more iconic than any of the Links (and probably the most iconic thing in Legend of Zelda)
