Oh, that's awesome! Congrats on securing your job! :3

Snow? Lucky, it's just boringly sunny here.

Welll here it is sunny, it was a nice day actually little cold still but :/ Dutch weather.

Today I met two pokemonfans at the event sadly they hadn't reached the elite four yet, one had the goal set to defeat the elite 4 with just eevee's.

We also had a little talk about x/y, the new mewtwo form and the drowzee pre-evo. It is nice to meet some fans in real live :d.

Ehh, working for the city, helping old people. Basically driving around to their homes and helping them with what they need, be that washing the dishes and taking out the trash to showering them. I worked there a bit last summer and also around Christmas, so I know what it's about.

Also, I need some ideas for combat in a turn based RPG combat system that are at least somewhat okay to implement. Any ideas?

Caretaking's a good job if you're not permanently assigned to the same person.

Ummmmmm. Criticals. Damage resistance. All that basic stuff. I can be more helpful if I know what type of turn based it is, what genre, game layout, etc.

That sounds like the job my brother had for a while. He liked it at first but then he started getting some really awkward old people that didn't like his standards :b

BTW who has the updated version of Skype yet, I think it looks even worse than the last update :/

Nah, it's a lot of different people. You get assigned these lists, and go to those people on one day. On another day, it could be someone else. Or the same, for that matter.

I'm trying to learn a language, so I'm basically just trying to code generic turn based RPG combat system #56436532 with magic (though I might change just that aspect) and the like. I have already implemented some ideas, and I'm working on others (like a full selection of equipment and different weapons). Only text at the moment, have yet to learn how to really implement anything visually interesting, but if I can do that later, I'd do that.

@Jack Pschitt; I found some awesome people who'd uploaded it on YouTube. But I'm usually pretty good with online streams, because I have AdBlock and that's usually where most of the viruses come from on those.

Wish I could help you, but I'm not good with coding. No clue what to tell ya.

IT'S BACK ON YOUTUBE?!

I'll have to get to that when I can, right now I'm getting ready to watch Taxi Driver. I've wanted to see it for a long time. :I

Hey there Dashie, how are you today? :3 And oh, you don't like the warm weather? I do, especially when it's so sunny that I can wear tanktop. >w>

Another edition of “KM why are you replying to this stuff from a week ago no one gives a shit anymore”
Oh, none taken. Blogthings quizzes are mostly silly and that's why I love them. I just think that one is funny because of how much of an asshole it makes me out to be. :)

And I also think the way they define lust here is more correct in terms of how the Seven Deadly Sins were originally conceived. Early and medieval Christian theologians tended to see impure thoughts as bad enough on their own; you didn't actually have to be engaging in bad sexual acts to be doomed by lust.

(I took a whole class in this in undergrad. It was the aforementioned - in this thread - awesome class where we also learned about incubi/succubi and homunculi as well. Pre-modern Western attitudes about sex were really, hilariously fucked.)
Ah good. xD

And you bring up a good point, I wasn't taking that into consideration at the time.

Ghettomonk?! Where on Earth did that come from? xD
Lol. Just wanted a big change. Sick of being Fab now.
but you'll always be fab stated for like the 50th time now

You will always be known as fab to me. It fits you so well. XD
See told you.

Well, you two will always be SC and Fab to me. xP I kinda wanna change my username too, but have nothing to change it to.
That’s what I said! and then you went and changed it the very same day (from my perspective) >:I

I'm never changing my username. It's part of me.
Other than special occasions (and in one instance, derping up and thinking the username box was the usertitle box. >>;) I don't see myself changing my username either.

Could you guys see me changing my user name? I generally don't like it when people change their user names, but sometimes I feel like mine should be a little more tasteful.
Yours is perfect when combined with your "You don't know me" usertitle. But if you do end up changing it someday, I like Cap’n Jack.

Anyway re: current topic: I don't change my username except to do pranks, like when we had the politician meme last year and I was Marcus Bachmann. I might change it for April Fool's Day, though. Probably to an FMA character.
And that you did. Nice RPing. xD

I used to change my username a lot more than I do now, but I still change it quite often. And, as you can see, I just changed it. Anyone like it? :B
And it was a pain in the butt to keep track of until we got the Username tab. >:B

I've only changed my username twice in four years. I'm open to changing it again but it's not something i'd do lightly.
Your AF username was great. xD

Aww no one got my stupid FMA joke.
I should really watch FMA one day, I've read the first volume of the manga and that was alright.
Do eeeeet.

I've never seen Back to the Future (is that what's it's called?) but the boy in it is very attractive. uvu
Michael J. Fox.

I've never seen it ether, in fact I no nothing about it
I have never seen it either.
Count me in on the plethora of people that have never seen it.
I've never seen them either.
I’d say “whhhaaaaa how can this be,” but I only saw them for the first time a year or two ago myself. now if ppl start saying they haven’t seen the Godfather movies I will flip my shit

I usually hate time travel, but I liked those movies. Go figure.

She's a girl who's in practically every fire emblem game, and I know she's also in awakening as a playable character.
Whoa really? Neat.

I wish i was a detective.

That'd be sweet.
Until then you will have to live out your dream through Hotel Dusk.

Have you played Trace Memory?

I really don't like coffee >.<
You and me both. :dead:

I thought last year was better. ^_^; Nothing being Pokemon-related...
My favorite was 2011's, were everything was set back to 1998. But I’m biased in that was my first AF spent here.
This year's was fun too.

It's also the rushing of stuff in the beginning, and the fact that I heavily prefer the 2003 OST and, more importantly, the way they use it, and that's a big deal to me as a musicologist/composer.

There are a lot of things I like about Brotherhood, but a lot of things I strongly dislike, whereas I can't find much to criticize about 2003. Other than maybe the fact that it's so Ed/Al-centered and some of the supporting characters get less development, but I don't know if that's a "weakness" per se so much as a preference.
I don't mind if people like Brotherhood better, it's just that I get the sense that a lot of the complaints people have about 2003 were not there until they had another anime to compare it to, and I think so many of the complaints really boil down to "it's not the same as the manga!" which, to me, is a really stupid reason to say 2003 is bad. Different doesn't necessarily mean bad!

And that's a general gripe I have with fandom, not just FMA. I feel the same way when Harry Potter fans bitch about Prisoner of Azkaban, easily the best of the films when judged on their own merits, because it was the first one to really depart from the books rather than being the strictest-possible adaptation.
This.

One thing that did really annoy me in 2003 is how much time they spent on Al's post-Barry-the-Chopper identity crisis. Barry the Chopper and Kimblee were both characters I liked much better in Brotherhood (though, Kimblee and Archer's sexual tension was hilarious) - in fact, I freaking LOVE Brotherhood!Kimblee and I hated him in 2003.
And this too, though more so because of the brothers being mopey. Al got over things pretty quickly in FMAB.

As for Barry, I prefer him in the manga, though I like how his story was handled in the first anime.

"Woah.. last weekend was awesome! I don't even remember it!"
I don't understand this in the slightest.
I don't get that either. Not to say they can’t to it, I just don’t find the idea appealing for myself.

76%.

Well only Kakuna Matata is a member of mine so why the heck not.
What no I won't feel special anymore if you go and let other people in ;;

You should all take the personality type quiz and say how you score. INTP for the win!
I got INTP on Master Mew’s blog.


OMG YOU GUYS I JUST FOUND OUT I PASSED THE JEOPARDY! ONLINE TEST AND I'M BEING INVITED TO A REGIONAL AUDITION!
:OOO

Good luck!

(For some reason my parents love watching those shows on Investigation Discovery about murderers, especially the ones with titles like "Black Widows!" or "Dangerous Affairs!" about people who kill their significant others, so I know too much about this. My "favorite" was about this woman who had a string of dead husbands she'd killed for life insurance - did she really think no one was going to catch on? - and she killed one of them by poisoning him with anti-freeze jello. Seriously, can't make this shit up.)
My mom loves those too! Makes my dad think she's trying to pick up pointers.

Never saw the one about the anti-freeze jello though.

The last dream that I remember was a nightmare ;__;
Same. All I remember was a subway, a hospital, and people chasing me.

I've been to two weddings now. This one was a lot more fancy than the first one. They are quite nice, much better than going to a funeral which is the only other time I ever go to church. I didn't have any cake which i'm still sulking about :/
I've been to a few in my life, the exact number unknown. But like GBM I remember being in three. The first two were where I was a flowergirl. (loooong time ago) The last one was my brother's where I was a bridesmaid.

And same, I only go to church for family gatherings, so weddings, baptisms, and funerals.

I'll have to get to that when I can, right now I'm getting ready to watch Taxi Driver. I've wanted to see it for a long time. :I
Me too.

@BlueRoyal92 Do you watch Bravest Warriors?

Pls. I kept forgetting I was 'OnCrackFox' and it wouldn't let me log in. Plus my nickname is based on a character that is on crack, that's why he's known as the crack fox, being on crack is already implied ^^
