This can't be real anymore

Help? (Personal advice needed)

So, I have been feeling really conflicted lately.   I’m in the second semester of my sophomore year of college, which means next year is my junior year. However because I went to a community college for a little while before coming here, I already have the credits of a junior, and by the end of next semester, I’ll have the credits of a senior.   Long story short, I can probably graduate a semester early without any hassle whatsoever. And assuming I can do well enough with this internship this su

Crafting Mines

So I decided to play Minecraft for the first time in ages yesterday.   I got about five minutes in before stopping in awe.   Please link to images over 500 kB. -B6   It's a giant mushroom! MAYBE IT'S FRIENDLY!   Also holy magikarp has it gotten a lot more resource hungry.

Praise Helix

They did it.   They won.   100,000 people playing Pokémon simultaneously with a twenty second input delay have beaten the Elite Four and the League Champion.   Twitch TV beat Pokémon Red.   Life is amazing.

Kanto or bust

So I'm trying to begin the process of bringing my Pokémon from Ruby into Y. First step, get to a Pal Park.   What HMs do I need to get from Johto to Kanto in Soul Silver? Kid me only went there after he beat the Elite Four on the original game, and adult me would like to just do that at a later date and get to Kanto right now if he can since the free trial of Pokébank ends in two weeks.

Calling all Canadians

So long story short, I've been thinking about my future lately, and I've been thinking it might be a good decision to move once I build my resume enough to feel confident that I'll find employment in the new community once I get there. Amongst a lot of US cities I'm considering, I'm also considering three in Canada; Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary. (Though if any Canadians want to throw their city into the mix, I'm open to suggestions as long as A. it's in a mostly-English speeaking part of Canad

An apology

So it has just dawned on me how active I was here from ages 14-17.   I was a know-it-all doofus back then. Yeah I was smart, but nowhere near as much as I thought. I certainly wasn't at all wise. Heck, in three years I'm probably going to look at the 20-year old me that's typing this in much the same way I look at 17-year old me. I can take some comfort in the fact that this happens to everyone if my friends are any indication, but I still feel like a moron reading some of what I used to post. T

Poké-rescue?

Okay, so the first Pokémon game I ever had was Pokémon Silver. I still have the cartridge. The battery in it is all but dead, so I can’t play it, but I still have it.   I’ve seen a bunch of images of people talking about how they got such-and-such Pokémon from their old games into X or Y, which I assume has to do with Pokébank.   So: Is there any way I could use this to get my old party out of there before it dies completely and put them into my copy of Y?   For reference, in addition to a 3DS a

Anger outlets

Anyone know how much a decent punching bag costs?   Because I have a ton of pent-up frustration and anger right now, and I am terrified that it will boil over. I need a nondestructive outlet.

I think my scale is broken

Because I certainly don't look or feel like I gained ten pounds overnight.   I'm not entirely sure that's even possible with the amount of food I ate.

Learning experiences

It has always amazed me that the fear of being wrong for some people is greater than the desire to learn. So many of us are so afraid of having to say "You're right" that not only do we refuse to accept it when we're proven wrong, we will outright ignore and berate anyone who doesn't agree with us simply so we can avoid any possibility of being proven wrong.   I love being proven wrong, because it means I'm being given a better understanding of how things actually are, and something I believed t

CALIBRATIONS

Look who arrived today! Smaller than I expected, but I’m okay with that. Detail work is really nice for the money; a $10 figure won’t be super-intricate, but the level of detail on the armor and rifle is very pleasing for the price.   He’s smaller than my iPod, it’s adorable!   Also there was a fancy vocal microphone in the box too. Probably not that important. Certainly not next to a cute little $10 Garrus.

Fandoms

It concerns me that there is already a growing "TwitchTV Pokémon" fandom.   It disturbs me that I am a part of it.   ALL HAIL THE HELIX FOSSIL

Big =/= good

Something I have been seeing lately that really bugs me is the notion that if there is more of something, it is automatically better or more laudable. That a 500 page book is always more commendable and more artistic than a 150 page book, or a three hour album of 27 songs is automatically better and more engaging than a twenty-minute, five-song EP, or a three-part trilogy of four-hour movies is inherently more entertaining than a single, self-contained two-hour movie. This idea that bigger autom

Well I'm useless

Ever write someone a valentine only to realize you horrifically misspelled "valentine" shortly after giving it to them?

YES YES YES YES YES

It is such an amazing feeling when you find someone you used to know like seven or eight years ago, and you're terrified that they've turned into a horrible/ignorant/etc. person with dumb/ignorant/etc. beliefs.   And you read beyond the first page/wall/most recent post/etc.   AND THEY'RE STILL THE SAME SMART AWESOME PERSON THEY WERE BEFORE HECK IF ANYTHING THEY'RE SMARTER AND AWESOMER THAN BEFORE   ...And then you realize it's actually someone who has the same name but is a completely differen

We're just friends

I have never understood this idea people have that if two people of the opposite gender are really good friends, there has to be a desire for a relationship.   My best friend is a girl, and I can say that I've never wanted seriously to pursue a relationship with her. Not because there's anything I dislike about her, just because I don't think we'd make a good pair romantically. Plus she's a lesbian and I respect that. On that note, it's a good bet she's not interested in one with me either. Yeah

#TheBobsledConspiracy

So remember that American bobsledder that got trapped in his bathroom in Sochi and literally rammed through the door?     He's stuck in a hotel elevator now.

Are you kidding me

First Apple stops putting CD drives into the Retina MacBook Pros.   That bugged me - and still does - but looking over the last year or two, I've used my CD drive maybe three times. I might be able to live with that.   Now I just found out that they solder the RAM to the logic board of the Retina MacBooks so instead of paying Crucial $80 for 8GB - or if this thing were able to handle 16GB, $170 for 16 - I have to pay them $100 for 8GB, $300 for 16GB, in addition to killing the time-honored tradi
