Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Rabbit Season! Duck Season! [Chat] Season!

This is true, Richy is a horrific artist.
That said, I like it a lot Cass!
I already have. We upped my ADD meds about two months ago, and it had a side effect of jacking up my heart rate. So, this month I'm supposed to start switching since Zoloft is less likely to cause this particular interaction.
it's for my the secret world pen and paper game

My mom has a step sister that she didn't know existed until quite recently (she's 50).

You're welcome. Actually, one thing Serious Teachers are prone to do is underestimate the importance of warmups, context-setting, and the teaching chestnut of Activating Schema.
I have deliberately checked this myself - gone through periods using warmers, periods using no warmers, taken notes. And I have observed and assessed literally hundreds of EFL lessons. The difference in student output and general lesson effectiveness is very clear. Warmers are very important, and Serious Teachers (like me, sometimes, especially if my client is paying a lot) ignore them at their peril.
Anytime I catch myself going to spend money on superfluous junk food, I will take that money and instead give it to a charity.
So every time I fail to stop myself from eating a tub of B&J's, I will be murdering children in Africa.
Multi vitamin and merlot doesn't work, FYI, I tried it already.
Smug. I love it.
When did you graduate?
I didn't realize those would be the images we were offered to purchase. It was taken as a quick snapshot when I left the stage to get my fake ceremony diploma. If I'd stopped to think for a second, I wouldn't have done a quick drive-by smirk. The other ones turned out better -- though glare is definitely a problem.
Now to decide which to spend $30 on for a single matte 8x10...
Like 3 weeks ago.
Then I ate half a tub of haagen daz and a third of a bag of chips
YES
Like, on the one hand the most sexist shit in mainstream manga is waaay worse than what comics pulls nowadays. Like a few weeks ago this ridiculously misogynistic manga that I won't bother naming won a Kodansha award for new series, for it to not only be getting published but getting awards is just bizarre.
And yet on the other hand, the manga industry's representation by women really makes comics look ridiculous in comparison. Not only are commercially-successful josei and shoujo mangas mostly written by and sold to women, but there's heaps of female artists with cross-demographic appeal as well. Mushishi, Full Metal Alchemist, Nodame Cantabile, and lots more series originally written by women as well. Before Harry Potter came along Rumiko Takahashi was the top-earning female author in the world, and I think behind her was Yuu Watase. And there's heaps of LGBT-themed works sold to a mainstream audience as well. Even in anime there's getting to be more successful female directors, and Kyoto Animation actually started out as basically a woman's animation studio, though I think they've gained a lot of male employees since then.
I guess the conclusion is that Japan is, once again, both awesome and fucking terrible.
I gotta say... I awesomed the pic anyway because congrats
But part of me was like, "Hasn't he graduated several times over the last few weeks?"
I awesome'd this because this post was, by definition, awesome.

Nice. All the congrats go to you, and the tip of my hat.
I really wish I had cash for a trip to the doctors
I need to get a new prescription for an asthma inhaler. As it is I can't even jog a half mile before my lungs feel like I'm breathing through a snorkel. It's super aggravating having to stop running and rest before your legs are even tired!
Luckily asthma doesn't matter much for weight lifting, so right now I'm just aiming for "beefcake" power lifter look instead of "muscular and attractive." Baby steps, baby steps.
He's like 6'4"
BUT IT IS HALF FAT LEMON SO IT'S OKAY
I wonder if that might hint at a way forward for video games. Especially among indies. That the bad crap that gets made (and even is successful or celebrated) doesn't have to stop people from also making, and succeeding, with products that do not exclude or objectify.
If one declares that "success" is only when misogynistic games are not being made (or are only on the fringe) then I think one is doomed to failure. At least for a long time. But if success means the creation and success of the Good (ignoring what else is made and succeeds) that seems like an achievable goal. And a more positive one.
I love midnight premieres. They are almost my favorite thing.
google is gonna cancel that so hard as soon as they realize they accidentally made something good
Apparently my brother and sis-in-law are staying out here for a couple days because my brother is attending a conference nearby.
Nobody tells me anything, but it's okay because A BABBY HAS ARRIVED AT MY HOUSE!
I think Japanese society is tremendously fractured. There are peacenik liberals, but there are would-be-fascists like Hashimoto. There are sexist idiots writing comics, and there are Clamp and other women writers like you mentioned. The fractured part is that the conservatives don't even really believe that the others exist or are important. Especially there is this tremendously damaging cultural narrative of 'what's Japanese', and the conservatives just dismiss the female writers as un-Japanese or a blip in the market or a niche or a fad. Whatever they need to do to dismiss them.
That's what I always see here - differing parts of society who have essentially no contact, and barely believe the other exists or is significant. I am very optimistic about the future, because the conservatives are becoming less and less important in all minds but their own.
6'3" of Man, yes.
(Trying to find a picture on my Facebook that answers this question visually.)
"I can choke you with ONE HAND."
This agree is both an agree and an awesome!
Are you going to fry or bake it?
edit: and then on the wrap up show he called Rob a "snide little shit" and claimed that he writes the entire show basically.
God I hate benjy and his stupid schtick.. He's trying to be like andy kauffman but nothing he does is funny. I don't even believe that he's really dating Alissa Jordana. She's a bad actor and it shows whenever she tries to explain why she's so into benjy and his stupid vortex bullshit.
double edit: I put this in the wrong thread originally. Henroid isn't here either but what the hell I'll post it anyway.
White (choking) privilege.
