Those things are old enough that I believe you mean Daftohunga Punk  

Have you seen a 2x2 lego brick answering to the name of Samantha?

That depends on how much of a ransom you're willing to pay.

People went so crazy about that, it was beautiful. The early, innocent, crazy days.

Nice to know Bionicle sets will come with copies of half life 3.

I wanted to make a Duke Nukem Forever joke, but that actually came out. So did Chinese Democracy.  

Happy birthday!

Proud to be quoted

And yeah, looking at one's ancient blog entries can be...well, embarrassing, to put it lightly.

I feel more and more like I'm missing something here...  =/

A thread about leaked images of what may or may not be new Bionicles was misspelled as Bionice

Bionice

Bion-ice

Bio-nice

Nice and ice

Had to come back to this entry to do this:

 

 

Do bzpeeps still do these?  Ah well, I missed out on the first wave.

I don't see why they shouldn't. If they don't, then it can be a cool underground retro thing!

I did think about going with that, but I decided against it because A. while I intend to use my phone and tablet instead of carrying this around, there are still classes where I need my computer with me, and I don't have room in my bag for a laptop, textbooks, notebooks, and an external keyboard, B. it'd make my already-cluttered desk even more claustrophobic, and C. problems like these, in my experience, are usually the precursors of more serious, system-killing defects, so since I need this thing to last until I get a job - as said, I don't have much money right now, so if it did die, a $600 budget clunker that'd be outdated in two weeks and unable to actually do any of my music processing would be all I could realistically afford - better safe than sorry.

Most people think puzzle games through and figure them out through intelligence and wit.

I just smash the square peg into the round hole until it breaks the hole big enough to go in.

The fact that you are a musician has somehow eluded me until now. What instrument?

Really appreciate all the info - anything I can get to help is appreciated! Not all of it is applicable since, at the moment, my money's being stretched thin too many ways, and I have an internship instead of a summer job so can't add to it, so buying weights is out, but the rest of it I should be able to apply

Everyone's posting about going to this and that convention, and I'm still trying to decide if I can justify going to my first one  

To be honest, you don't need to hold a leadership position within a fandom or community if you want to change it. Calling out disgusting behavior, dangerous statements, or similar is what most people mean when they say that since, if the people are worth respecting at all, they might learn not to continue with those comments, phrases, or come to understand that displaying graphic content (gore, or otherwise) of a kids show on either forums dedicated to it (which should be PG, given the target audience of the show), or that leaving it untagged for anyone to stumble across isn't appropriate. 

 

Simply telling other people "we're not all like this" doesn't solve any problems that do exist and, if you don't want people thinking as such, then one would need to proactively try to reign in or completely remove some of the more detestable things that do come up when it's found. 

 

Enoy the show, enjoy the fandom, and yes there are plenty of people who use the label "brony" who aren't dangerous people who create unsafe spaces for those the show is directed at. But to say such people aren't there, or that they ought be ignored, isn't going to help the situations where those people may attempt  to do something dangerous or may put works derived from the show that really shouldn't be put in public spaces that ought be safe for children who like the show. 

...Except, near as I can tell, nowhere in this entry or the comments did anyone say that A. such people are nonexistent, or that B. they should be swept under the rug and treated like they don't exist?

Also, when Lyichir said "That's something I just couldn't do, since I have no standing or leadership position in the fandom.", I think - and if I'm wrong he can feel free to correct me - that he meant more that he doesn't exactly have sway with anyone of note in the fandom. For most people, if they're a well-known member of the community, and they make X art or Y song or something of the sort, are they more likely to listen to the three people they've never heard of who thought it was in poor taste, or the 2,000+ people, including a multitude of people they consider of sound moral judgement and are in good standing with, that think it's great and genuinely like it?

I'm not saying it's good or just that things are like that, nor am I trying to justify or defend such content, I'm just saying that he's not wrong when he says that he, and most people in the community, only have so much power to make positive change in the fandom at-large, simply because our status and voice in the community are less than that of others, and as such hold less sway, and with fewer people. It's the same way that if I called out member X, it would have significantly less weight with a lot of members than if, say, B6 or Bfa did.

That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try, and speaking for myself personally, I do make an effort to improve the fandom. But he's not wrong when he says that there's limits to the impact he can have simply because of standing in the community. 

There's always fanfiction.

Fanfiction: Your one-stop shop for all your alternative ending and canon-breaking shipping needs!

Oh my gosh, I love you for this entry.

Glad that you like it  

Way to go, man, way to go! I totally need to be more like you with exersising!

 

Go for it! It's a tough habit to start, but definitely one of the best ones I've developed. It also gives you some great time alone with your thoughts. I love to watch baseball while exercising if I can, but generally I can't, and the amount of time it gives me with my mind free to think and organize itself is just as rewarding mentally as the exercise is physically!

Looks like you got a new phone too.

 

In all seriousness, congratulations!

Yes I did This also showcases how dramatic a leap forward my new phone ended up being. Not only were its pictures much better in terms of contrast and lighting, but they're much higher resolution - while the 2013 photos are full-size, the 2014 photos had to be scaled down significantly to keep it in the image limit!

And thanks!

Unfortunately I'm looking to sell mine after someone told me they're worth a key right now  

I understand you want audition reels?

The thing I posted would be the insignia of GUN Corporation from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, a group that appeared primarily as antagonists in multiple games.

Secret bonus cutscene is just Bill Clinton playing some blues saxophone, because he's actually a pretty good musician

I have no idea what is going on. 8D

Just talking about our favorite hat-themed bread simulator.

Valve may not know how to count to three, but they sure know how to usher in an era of peace in a universe predicated on murder.

 

Seduce me.

 

I AM NOT ONE OF YOUR FRIED-CHICKEN TRAMPS

 

But I'm wedging my head through a door to tell you I'm sorry D:

 

Final question: You have a dinner date for seven. What time do you arrive?

 

 

-

 

 

Seven.

AM.

Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not, I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body, replace him with my own guy, no later than 4:30.

 

Seduce me.
