They're about as scary as creepypastas though.
no, they're not as scary as that, that's why I read them

I wouldn't be able to sleep for days if I read creepypastas
Oh, I meant I don't really find creepypastas frightening.

I love it so much. It was by far my favorite part of being in those creative writing courses.

Not only do I get to help people improve their writing while low-key shitting on their work
If you ever want to do that with anything I write here you're welcome to.

That depends on the criticisms of those beliefs. If I think the criticism is justified and isn't consistent with my goals then I'd reform my beliefs. I wouldn't reject my beliefs out of the circumstance that I was alone in believing them.

I'm not a tech guy, but just to clarify frame-rate drops are probably not random. It's probably a hardware or software issue. Asking here might not be the most productive option.

Turn all of the furniture in her house upside down.
we live in dorms tho so there's literally just a bed and a desk
I am so sorry. The only debt I will have coming out of college is what I paid for the dorms first semester. It was not worth it. I literally found shit... in the sinks. The sinks.

Gaming / Re: Level Design: Games that you believe get it right.
« on: September 12, 2016, 08:00:18 PM »
I appreciate this thread topic.
Tabletop rpg's are a good platform for the aspiring level designer (or really any game designer) to test levels in a barebones system with rules and systems, which they can tweak and adapt for player experience. It's like the open-source coding of game design.

I find it difficult to discuss level design because the idea involves the holistic synthesis of other game elements.

Specifically in videogames... Supermetroid is a good example. Take the station you initially arrive in for instance. It's a place for you to familiarize yourself with the controls and the premise of the story. From the moment you enter the station the design shows through. The shaft you first enter into is littered with platforms. It may create the expectation in a vigilant player's mind of navigating those platforms to get back to the ship. The intervals on the platforms are spaced so that the player can't fall straight down unless they've trained to do it. The placement forces players to get a sense of how Samus moves across them and how easy it is to fall off of them. Next are a couple rooms of mostly horizontal movement across the screen, though if memory serves I think you have to jump in at least one of them, which specifically showcases the mechanics of Samus' jump. These rooms are also important in establishing the atmosphere, particularly the room with the dead scientists. Entering the room with the metroid larva first shows players the objective of the game, then Ridley provides players with a simple test of combat mechanics and a clear antagonist for Samus to pursue. From sequencing the 3 or 4 rooms, the player has experienced: movement mechanics, atmosphere and tone of the game, the objective, an antagonist, and combat mechanics (though only briefly). The level design takes advantage of all core aspects of the game and combines them into a seamless experience. What follows after is a test of mechanical precision back up the entrance shaft, preparing players for the traversal they'll commonly experience on SR388 (though not under the same stress). It sets a foundation and means of mechanical progression for the next areas.

SAO is a masterpiece of writing and Kirito is a layered and complex protagonist
I agree completely. Definitely the best anime available.
You guys should give Abunai Sisters a go. It expands the core conceits of SAO and elevates them to a new sublime level of visual entertainment.

Anime sucks arren
You shoosh, we watched Yugioh 0 at your behest and we both enjoyed it.
Because it was the prequel to the kickass series.
Which is also anime, might I mention. I should concentrate my efforts on fully converting you.
We should watch Nichijou next, Vienpai.
I would rather be gay.
There's plenty of that in anime too.
Yeah, and 9 year olds with massive tits.
What do you mean Vien, loli is an aesthetic with absolutely no visual encouragement of sexualizing physical attributes common in children. No really. Besides, all the lolis who look like 12 year olds are at least 100+ years.

>implying she's not going to just off herself or run off to find Griffith again
The former might end the escapades of "Guts and Friends" tone the series acquired after the other characters joined Guts and Puck. It would still make Casca a plot convenience and it would be a disservice to her charcter, but she might actually do something for the story again.
Going after Griffith would be better because it would affirm the purpose of the story and her vegetative character arc could also be justified in the name of vengeance she seeks afterwards. Her and Guts could be the dream team again.

Falconia is pretty deceiving, but we have to remember that good things don't happen to Guts.
Oh... So 'on the boat' was just an illusion. They're still in the troll den, aren't they?

The Flood / Re: What's on your current to-buy wish list?
« on: September 12, 2016, 10:33:56 AM »
a fiio x5ii portable audio player, with two 200 gig micro sd cards to go with it
An oppo pm3 pair of headphones (I just got a pair of denon ah mm400 headphones, but I want both for some variety)
a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SC GAMING ACX 2.0 graphics card
touhou plushies
Ulysses 1922 text oxford edition (with annotations)
Ulysses Annotated (a guide book for ulysses)
Beketh Nexehmu debut on vinyl or CD
Have a nice life deathconsciousness on vinyl or CD
The Complete Works of Plato (hackett publishing)
some sort of really nice camera (idk anything about cameras)
bose noise cancelling headphones (for noisy places)

I think I'll have the graphics card, oppo headphones, and fiio audio player by the end of the year.
Loaf, this is a Christmas list...
You realize that there's over 1378 dollars worth of stuff here, not including the touhou, beketh nexehmu, bose noise cancelling, and the nice camera, right? If anything I could probably get away with getting the portable audio player with the sd cards, and maybe if I'm extremely lucky the graphics card too, but idk that's an extreme amount of stuff to ask for.
Well, if you've been a good boy this year Santa could make it happen.
You've been good, right?
