I need this keyboard http://caps-unlocked.com/varmilo-va88m-sakura

I think I'd want to do a full sakura themed computer for something like this; have a stripped display panel on the side panel glass that shows an animation of falling sakura petals.

I'm just getting the one. Want the collectors but 259.99 Canadian is a lil much

 

[Fayte]

Yeah that thing is crazy.. I’m gonna get the 3 then sell the games and get my money back. gonna keep a copy though. I haven’t played dissidia in years.

 

[ZenVirZan]

it looks much less dissidia and much more gundam tbh

 

[Fayte]

who doesn’t love gundam? I honestly haven’t seen anything on the game truth be told.

 

[bacon]

yay. friend's wedding. Reception. socializing with old friends on an extra uncomfortably personal level. Gut wrenching anxiety.
(don'taskhowI'vebeen. don'taskhowI'vebeen.)
"What have you been up to?"
"nothing."
"wow. Nothing exciting, huh?"
*Look a distraction! Change the subject*

"Hey you. I haven't seen you in 11 years...."
(Oh god, not again. They're circling around me.)
"He told me he's been doing "nothing".
(Damnit, why me?)
"weeeell, I've been... *LOUD MUSIC IS TOO LOUD* ....online"
"WHAT?"
"I said.... *LOUD MUSIC CONTINUES*"
"I can't hear you."
"That's ok. It's not important and would take too long to explain.
Oh good, my sister is here. Talk to her now. "

Well, good for you for getting out there I guess.

Years ago I went to the wedding of my old friend from university. His Final Fantasy linkshell (like the equivalent of a Warcraft guild, I guess) showed up. I thought I was a nerd, then I met these people. I was actually a little annoyed when one of the older guests asked if I was one of the groom's "internet friends."

I think I was into Gundam around 2000-2001 or something like that. I used to collect the toys. I realized that my kid brother was way more interested in the toys than I was, so I gave them all to him.

 

[coyotecraft]

I think the worst part for me is just that there's an expectation of change.
I feel like I'm standing still in life. And everyone else is not. That's what really makes me panic.
Even physically, everyone else has put on weight or muscles, receding hairlines, surgeries and scars.

It's like with this place. For a time I honestly felt like I would need to move on from the forums like everyone else. Or it'd 404 for good. But I'm still here. It's still here.

I don't know what gundam is;

Giant flying Japanese space robots. With guns.

You know what? I'm going to start an anime series and just call it "Giant flying Japanese space robots with guns." People are going to love it.

Coyote, unrequested assurance and advice incoming. Regarding the feeling that everyone else is accomplishing things while you're not, everyone feels like that. It's especially bad now because of social media, where everyone shares the highlights of what they've done, so we only see of others the most polished and curated parts of their lives. Then we carry those perceptions with us everywhere we go, like weddings where we have to see old friends. If after some introspection, you really, honestly feel like you're not going anywhere, then go ahead and set some goals and plan out how to achieve them. If you're being honest with yourself and you don't think setting and achieving goals is going to work out for you, and you're still going to feel uncomfortable and apprehensive, maybe you should talk to a professional about that.

... I just bloviated a paragraph and deleted it. I'll just give you the TL;DR version instead. There are some things that matter and some things that don't. Sometimes telling the difference can be hard, but if you take a step back and look at your life, you can probably figure out what deserves your care and what doesn't.

I started my dreads :rock:

 

[Nathaniel3W]

So you're just going to tell us that and not post pics?

I'd show you guys but I don't think I'm prepared for the yoga flame I'll catch for how they look right now lolll.

my hair is a little longer than an inch so it looks like little bugs are in my head.

holy shit c++ is doing my fuckin head in

so i create a new texture and get the pointer to it. this is tex.
i then pass tex to the next constructor and assign this->texture = tex. this should point to the same location now, right?

this->texture = *tex
assigns the object pointed to by tex to this->texture, but i want it to be a pointer to a texture

this->texture = &tex
makes texture point to tex which points to the texture itself. this would make sense to not-work considering tex is null after the constructor ends.

width and height also both reset to 0?????

EDIT: solved, turns out you can't chain constructors like you can in other languages. a compilation warning would be nice tho

I've hit a really rough patch.
I keep thinking "In general everything is fine I'm just sad because" but that really is not true. Everything is not fine. My bedroom ceiling is full of mold. Our shower doesn't work (we still have bath though) our cooker broke the other night and our extractor fan broke too. I feel like I'm slipping in college. I know I can do better but I just am not engaging. The guy I have a crush on keeps talking about his ex and every time he does it hurts. We are hanging out on Friday but I'm just so worried to be honest for no reason. My anxiety is just fucking me right now. I can't go more than a few hours without feeling like shit, I keep getting suicidal thoughts despite the fact that I do not want to die and in general I think it's really effecting me socially. I can't get through a 30 minute break at college without mentioning how I should die. I don't think I'm a positive person to be around right now. Every day I just wish would end. I wake up and I'm waiting for tomorrow cause maybe just maybe it'll be better. But it never is and I rarely feel good about myself.
I should go to the doctor but every time I get the chance to I pass it up because I want to maintain some sense of control over this beast, but I'm losing control. I feel like I'm sprinting constantly but I'm never going as fast as I should be. Like I'm being chased and it's only a matter of time before everything catches up to me.
I'm starting to lose sight of my goals. My motivation. Everything is just clouded up right now and I just cannot engage. I want to just slip into nothingness.
I'm just. I'm depressed as fuck guys and I feel like I can't do anything. I feel like I have to constantly be this funny, happy, laughing guy who always makes jokes. I'm sure everyone knows how hollow and fragile that facade is but to me it's so important to keep up. It's not to show everyone else that I can be that person but to show myself. But I'm not who I pretend to be. I wish I was as happy as I pretend to be. But fucking god the person I am underneath is so ugly, I hate showing other people that, but it's slipping out more and more these days.

Sorry. I know this is like a 13 year old rant but really. I've been failing myself recently and nothing hurts more than that.

You can "chain" constructors, but like with Java you need to do it first thing, it's also done a bit differently (and is a C++11 feature).

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-style: italic;">/* Prototype */

class ZenVirZan {

public:

    ZenVirZan( const int _age );

    ZenVirZan( const std::string& _name, const int _age );

};

 

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-style: italic;">/* Implementation */

ZenVirZan::ZenVirZan( const std::string& _name, const int _age ) {

    // Some bullshit

}

 

ZenVirZan::ZenVirZan( const int _age ) : ZenVirZan( <span style="color: #666666;">"I have no name!", _age ) {

    // At this point the first constructor has already been called

}

Also, the compiler didn't spit any errors at you because it is valid code that you posted; having a constructor called on its own will just create a stack-instance of your object - you're just not assigning it to a variable so it is being destroyed instantly. It's totally valid C++ code, just like how in Java you can make an instance of an object and not assign it to anything.

What you had was the Java equivalent of:

<div class="java" id="{CB}" style="font-family: monospace;"><ol><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">class ZenVirZan {

 

    <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">public ZenVirZan( [url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allinurl%3AString+java.sun.com&btnI=I%27m%20Feeling%20Lucky]<span style="color: #aaaadd; font-weight: bold;">String[/url] name, <span style="color: #993333;">int age ) {

        [url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allinurl%3ASystem+java.sun.com&btnI=I%27m%20Feeling%20Lucky]<span style="color: #aaaadd; font-weight: bold;">System[/url].out.println( "Fucking cocks" );

    }

 

    <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">public ZenVirZan( <span style="color: #993333;">int age ) {

        // Notice how this is creating a new instance inside this instance, but not assigning it to anything

        <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">new ZenVirZan( "I am a mistake", age );

    }

 

    <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">static {

        ZenVirZan instance = <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">new ZenVirZan( <span style="color: #cc66cc;">8 ); // ZenVirZan is probably an 8 year old

    }

 

}

@HiPoyion turn your problems into code and I can sort them out too >:C

Yeah, it just unfortunately isn't any use in that form for what I was trying to achieve.

Also, the compiler didn't spit any errors at you because it is valid code that you posted; having a constructor called on its own will just create a stack-instance of your object - you're just not assigning it to a variable so it is being destroyed instantly. It's totally valid C++ code, just like how in Java you can make an instance of an object and not assign it to anything.

oh i never expected it to error, just raise a warning like it does when you don't use a local variable, etc.

What you had was the Java equivalent of:
-snip-

yeah i worked that out in the end

EDIT: i don't mean to ignore your post potion, but i just dont know what to say bro
blanket reassurance will sound hollow, but i dont have any insight either
keep hanging in there brother, nothing lasts forever
