Post What's on Your Mind

Musicians are super expensive. I'll give anyone here $100 if they can make a song that sounds like this:

And using instruments that sound like this:

I had stuff to do today. But then I took a nap. An 8 hour nap.

I was gonna clean my room, but then I got high~

Yesterday I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron... and then I came home and saw the first picture of Jared Leto as the Joker... one of these things was a disappointment, but the question is; Which one?

I've been in a habit of waking up early...

Why are people I know on facebook marking themselves "safe during the Nepal earthquake" despite the fact that they aren't anywhere near Nepal?

 

[Ellie]

Attention, probably.

Does anyone have a good reason why Valve shouldn't allow for paid mod content?

I was just introduced to this "controversy" on Saturday and did get to hear a lucid argument against paid mods. If mod authors can charge money, then shitty mod authors can charge money. And they will. And it will pay something. And so more shitty authors will get into writing shitty mods for money. So it could result in a lot of shovelware. Not sure if that's going to happen but I think that's one of the more serious potential consequences of losing the "hobbyist spirit".

Anyway I wasn't entirely convinced and still think mod authors should be allowed to charge money. But it looks like there needs to be a more complicated system in place to make sure it works right and improves typical quality instead of lowering it.

I've been here for two and a half years. Yet it feels like forever. Which is why I get scared and sad when we start reminiscing because I suddenly begin to feel out of place

Only two and a half years? I can tell you (as someone who's only been actually active here a few months lol) you seem like an integral part of this place. Like you're one of the regulars, HiPoyion.

I want you to know that I know waiting sucks. I've been waiting two years to get a job on the west coast and move out there. It's not happening so I gave up on that. Now I'm waiting to get a better job around here (Iowa). Still sucks but not as bad as not knowing where I'm going to live next year. I feel really lucky that my wife makes friends because we're tapped into this nerd culture group around here and finding like-minded people is really hard without existing social connections.

Related to the above, I bought a house this month. Now I know where I'm living for quite a few years and it's a nice place. And I knocked out part of a wall (for good reasons) and ain't nobody gonna yell at me for it.

Hang in there HiPoyion. You need to be OK so you can keep coming here and being my friend (will you be my friend?) I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I'm a regular!

...Right?

I guess I'm going to become less and less distant from my best friend, but this time on purpose.

We have known each other since we were about 10 years old.

Back in the day I knew her like the back of my hand. She was a lot of fun. We created crazy stories, and even had stories that had sex and gayness, and innuendos.

She even played games.

Then six years ago, after moving 14 hours south, we were still able to talk to each other on the phone a lot.

But recently--which I noticed during December, that I did not know who she was anymore. When I looked on her Facebook, I realized that all she posted about was God this, God that. That's great.

I mean I'm Christian, too. Well, now I'm debating within myself.

Even when I was, people still knew ME.

I always knew we would disagree on little things because I'm more open about things. I'm also bisexual, so of course I agree that everyone should be allowed marriage. And this is such a stupid subject with Christians. Really stupid.

Her boyfriend posts an article about a baker refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple. I basically post "that's mean, everyone deserves a cake", and now we're suddenly in some debate.

My friend admitted that she WOULD NOT bake a cake for that couple. Her "Christian Faith" comes before her job.

I am seriously disappointed in her. This is not about gay marriage anymore, but discrimination. As far as I'm concerned, God would want her to bake a cake for them--to love them.

And if she still think she shouldn't, I might abandon our "best friendship" pretty darn soon, because that's fucking selfish. She is the worst case of Christianity I've ever seen, and it's because of people like her I'm loosing my faith.

Damn you BB. Why do you have to do this?

I stopped talking to one of my once-close friends because we he asked me what console I had and I said a Nintendo Wii, he then proceeds to tell me how much of an ass I was for buying it because it was a piece of shit and PS3 blah blah. This was in 2008 I think, I didn't actually play on Wii anymore (because it is a piece of shit), I was doing PC games at that point, but he reminded me that he is an asshole, so I stopped talking to him.

Wouldn't consider him a close friend anymore, but we'll chat every now and then on Steam.


As for those American Christians who are all anti-gay; what if my religion says I cannot bake a cake for Christians and you walked into my shop and asked for a cake? If you were told you cannot have a cake after expressing desire for a cake, wouldn't you be upset?

I mean, what if there was a religion that said you can't sell goods to a woman without her husband being present? Or you can't serve someone of a different skin colour to you?

I'm to know I'm not entirely insane in my way of thinking. XD

 

[coyotecraft]

So my Grandpa had a brain tumor removed a couple weeks ago. Everyone was holding there breath. I've been driving my mom back and forth a lot lately. He made it through surgery. Going through rehab. Seemed like he's be going home next month. Then out of no where, brain swelling. Doctors says he doesn't have much time.
So I'm on the road again driving my mom around. For all I know he could still pull through. It's like with my other grandpa, he gets real bad sometimes and we think omg this is going to do it. And then we're playing cards next spring.

I don't want them to die. But damn this emotional whiplash.

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

I'm very sorry, coyote. I know these moments can be very stressful. :sad:

 

[coyotecraft]

This hospital is freezing. The TV is on CNN and it's all doom and gloom. And we've pretty much accepted that my grandpa will be passing away within hours cause there's nothing they can do.
He was ready. But we're just shocked by how things were looking up and then turned suddenly.

 

[rey meustrus]

It will be OK coyote. Death is a part of life too and it sounds like your grandpa has had a full one. It's tough swinging back and forth, I know, but it gets better. And don't let yourself feel guilty for how you feel. You can't help your own emotions. Nobody wants a loved one to die but sometimes it really is time and there's nothing wrong with understanding that.

Sorry about this all. We're here for you whenever.

Though apparently now is a bad time to click through all the New Posts 'cause there's new activity in the Fap Club thread and jeez my internet is monitored I just hope nobody notices the tittie pics going through the network.

Coyote... I don't know if what I'm saying will help you at all, but things may seem lost, or broken for a while. It may be painful but you'll learn to get by again so for now please, please be sure to allow yourself enough time to grieve. In times of sadness we often feel like we have to be strong, but through our grieving we learn to say goodbye, and so it's important you allow yourself that time.

 

[coyotecraft]

thanks guys
