Best of luck to you. I doubt you'll get much legit advice on here from anyone, so I'd recommend you just go for it.
And locked on request.

Of course, I never look at my keyboard. I even have some kind of strange diploma in it, as the school offered "blind typing" classes that taught you the correct typing form and technique back when I was 12 years old. It laid a good foundation for my years of online gaming and forum activities to follow.

Anybody else excited for the inevitable "cut content pack" that will appear for the low, low price of $20 and isn't covered by the Season Pass, featuring a ton of scrapped, cut and refurbished new content to become even more of a legend?

Hate mail is best mail. I usually just respond with variations of "mad cuz bad" until they lose it.
"Parrying is for cheap assholes, fuck you."
- Mad cuz bad.
"Lol you're the only one who's bad here you noob."
- 2 mad cuz 2 bad
"I'll fucking own you next time you piece of shit."
- 2mad&bad4me
"Reported for trash talking you asshole"
- Infuriated because of too low skill.
"Inarticulate screaming"

I watched the first episode after Byrne linked it. Too much anime tropes and such for me, I never got to episode 2.
The fact that you watched it is surprising to me.
How so?
Because you always seem like you're completely against anime.
Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I wouldn't give it a chance, though. I'll be the first to admit that I find it hard to stand the anime tropes, a lot of the art style, the voices and so forth, but I'm not against giving new things a try.

Yeah, you are ostensibly denying a human the chance to live. If you need to sanitize the language in order to justify it, I suggest reevaluating your position.
I never said that I don't. I just don't think that preventing an embryo or fetus from becoming a baby is something that shouldn't be possible and legal. Yes, I am denying a potential human life. But I am doing the same thing right now by not having unprotected sex with as many women as I could. Every sperm cell I have has the potential of becoming a person, and by not putting them to constant use I am effectively denying potentially dozens of people to come into existence. It's all about where you draw the line. And just like millions of others, I don't draw it at the moment of conception. There is nothing to justify for me. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, it is nothing but a non-sentient parasite with the mere potential of becoming a human being. And at that point, the rights of the parents trump the embryo's or fetus', something I don't think is immoral in the slightest. For me, there isn't all that big of a difference between denying a human life by intentionally choosing not to conceive one, or by preventing the result of combining my sperm with an egg, which is still completely non-sentient and will not be any more capable of grasping its own existence than a sperm cell on its own, from ever growing any further shortly after conception has taken place. Is the latter different from just not having sex or using contraceptives? Of course. But not different enough to make it murder or to outlaw it. Regardless, this is something pointless to argue. There's no statistics, theories or hard evidence to back anything up. We pretty much know the science. Now, it's all about ethics and morality, and that is something so personal that no one here is likely to change his opinion on this. Besides, none of this will have much of an effect on me. Abortion has been legal here for 25 years, and there is nothing stopping my girlfriend and I from ever getting one if it would come to it. This being able not to be forced into prematurely bringing a child into the world that would drastically and negatively affect both my life and my partner's, is a kind of freedom I very much appreciate, and one that Ted Cruz would seek to deny me. And that is really what this whole thread is about.

I've had safe sex with my girlfriend dozens of times. It is very likely that if we hadn't used protection, she would be pregnant at this point. Did I deny someone a chance at life then too?
Not sure why this argument is still used. The overwhelming majority of ant-abortionists have no problem with contraception, Plan B, or even very early abortions. There's a significant differences between preventing the formation of an embryo and actually removing an embryo, which is a living, developing, human organism.
I'm just countering Napalm's argument that I am denying someone a chance of life. Seeing how we're not all having sex 24/7 for the sole purpose of procreation, we are all denying potential future humans the chance to live. The only difference here is where we draw the line. Napalm seems to think that as soon as conception has taken place, it's too late. I politely disagree and don't think that removing an embryo or fetus in the first few weeks of its life is in any way a moral outrage or murder of a (future) human being. As I am well aware that many anti-abortionists don't oppose contraceptives, I'm simply pointing out that "you are denying a human life" is hardly a valid argument.

A potential life is worth far more than "choice". I listed alternatives in my exchange with Das. You really haven't made any good arguments yet, though. Meta's spot on with his. The fetus isn't sentient yet. It doesn't know anything. When getting rid of it before it has even become an actual human life can and will increase the general well-being in a society, I don't see any proper argument against it. Giving millions of men and women the choice to improve their own well-being instead of being forced to bring another unwanted person into this world, with a very likely decrease in quality of life of the parents and negative effects for the eventual child as a consequence, is far more important than yet another life than could potentially occur. The person to suffer the consequences for a decision should be the one who made it, not the person who resulted from such decisions. But it's not a person. It's a non-sentient parasite that could turn into a human being if nothing goes wrong. You're still denying someone the chance at life, a life which WILL begin, unless it is prevented from doing so.
I've had safe sex with my girlfriend dozens of times. It is very likely that if we hadn't used protection, she would be pregnant at this point. Did I deny someone a chance at life then too? It's very likely that it would've happened. Not a certainty, but close to it. Just like how a fetus isn't certain to survive, but is likely to. Either way, unless your only argument is an appeal to emotion and your personal ideas of morality, I don't see you convincing many people on here. The rights of two people to take control of their own life and not be forced to bring a child into the world that they do not want and that will (probably in a negative way) influence their lives in a great deal, all just because they messed up with birth control, definitely trumps the rights of an unborn and non-sentient embryo or fetus. It doesn't feel, it doesn't think. It would never know it even existed. For me, that's enough of a reason to support the right to choose.

1. The glorious nation of Belgium, of course. Where diamonds are plenty, clouds rain the sweetest beers and Polish migrant workers extract valuable core resources such as chocolate, french fries (which are actually Belgian, thank you very fucking much) and waffles from our mines.
2. Drinks really depend on what I'm having them with. I like me some coke for a soda and the generally sweeter beers. Favorite meals would be things like stoofvlees, vol-au-vent, some good steak, kötbullar, kaaskroketten and so on.
3. Relatively tall (185cm or so, that's about 6"1/2 for people who can't into metric like the rest of us) and on the skinny side. Blonde middle long hair, blue eyes. Quite handsome, according to several people, with good cheekbones and such. Great hair too, apparently, at least according to every hairdresser I've ever had, seeing how they all praise my hair and rag on me for not taking proper care of it. I usually just wear jeans or other kinds of pants that I can only describe as "normal" because I know nothing about fashion and clothing, along with a t-shirt or button-up shirt. Sweater or hoody on top of that if it's colder outside, and a full suit / fancy clothing when there's something I have to attend to.
4. Getting my girlfriend over here in July, getting my Master's in law in a few months, getting a second Master's specialised in IT and IP law and generally being happy and doing something I more or less like.

I do not see why these are bad things. Because the death penalty is a cruel form of punishment that does not deter crime. It's inhumane and has no place in a developed first world society. Because a young fetus is not sentient being. It's far from an actual baby. While obviously a debate of morality and ethics, I don't see why women should not have the freedom of choice rather than be forced to deliver a child they do not want or can not raise. And other than an appeals to emotion, I haven't heard many good arguments agains this. Yeah, screw freedom of religion. This isn't about freedom of religion, it's about freedom from religion. "Religion in the public sphere" basically means that there shouldn't be much of a separation of church and state. It means that there could be religious conditions on public authorities ("you have to be a christian of this particular denomination or otherwise you aren't eligible for this government job") and that religion directly commands state policy. Lower taxes for Christians! Higher taxes for atheists, and even higher for Muslims (and jews, because they killed jesus)! You can't vote unless you are part of a church! You can't sell books or make movies that go against Christianity! Gay people need to wear a yellow star on their clothing to show that they're sinners! Mandatory daily church attendance for everyone! No graduating from high school unless you can cite the bible by heart! Bible studies replaces biology, history, geology or any science classes! No public worship of any religion that isn't Christianity! Priests replace judges and juries! Freedom of religion means you can follow the religion that you want. That you are welcome to attend any sort of church, take on certain habits and spend your free time praying to your god. That the government or anyone else can't tell you not to believe in a god or follow a religion, or break into your home, destroy your shrine and force you to forsake your god and worship theirs. What it doesn't mean, is that you have the right to dictate others what to do because of what you believe. That your bible should be a crucial part of all the laws and policies that directly affect the lives of millions of others in your country. Religion should stay far, far away from lawmaking and the government. Or we would be going back in time by a few hundred years. Wanting to stem the flow of ILLEGAL immigrants is not bad.
By using a wall across the entire South of the US? Not only does that give an incredibly hostile signal, it's also a very bad idea in general, both economically and practically.

There's a few puzzle games (Trainyard and 2048) and then the classics (Angry Birds, Traffic Rush) that are alright. Best mobile game I ever played is League of Evil 2 though. Amazing soundtrack, very fast gameplay, good controls, really challenging near the end and a lot of replay value with speedrunning the levels to get better times and such. Would recommend.
