For whatever it is worth, I might as well toss out my opinion in here...

I think the biggest draw to characters like Kopaka is their self-confidence. As humans, we are often plagued with insecurities, and having the confidence to stand against well... anything life throws at them is a trait many might end up envying.

Even when that confidence is offset by less desirable traits, the fact that it is there is enough to inspire others towards emulation. The problem arises when instead of emulating just the self-confidence (if such a thing is even possible to actually pull off), people try to imitate the entirety of his behavior. As you said, for all of the fondness some of us may have for him as a character, having to deal with a person like that in real life would be less than ideal.

So yeah. We all want to be a Kopaka. XD

Literally dealing with the consequences of Tip 1 right now. Not enough to stop me from editing this story, but it certainly isn't helping.

The things I do for other people...

The season ended, so I'm guessing that it was to prevent people from doing... stuff... until it starts back up again with the next season.

Of course, I've been out of the loop since January, so what do I know.

I saw a Manas set in Japan for what amounts to about $170.

Didn't get it, unfortunately. :c

I'm sure there are people who would disagree and say that it is easy, but I am not one of them. Good for you for starting, though, and I wish you the best of luck!

INTJ here as well. Perhaps it is a result of the type's inclination towards not caring about societal norms and being open-minded enough to simply appreciate the merit of something without having to factor in any of the "baggage".

Then again, that could probably go for more types than just the one, and it's simply the first thing that popped into my poor, sleep-deprived mind, so I'm probably pretty far off of the mark. XD

Piruk.

My school is selling/handing out these things called Valentinegrams, and I used the one I purchased to tell myself exactly what you have said in this entry. Hopefully future!me will listen to past!me's advice...

...Although I guess it is even sadder that I ended up sending something to myself...? Ah well.

Anyway, well put, and I couldn't agree more.

That's definitely something I will need to look into... I could really use a version of Photoshop, even if it is rather old...

(Commander) Commander Shepard, Spacer, Ruthless, Infiltrator.

This way, people will be addressing him by name.

Nah. Homestuck is made for the internet. It would just be weird to suddenly see it on television.

I mean, just think about all of the dialogue. What would they do with all of that? We'd get hours upon hours of people just sitting at their computers and talking.

That alone would probably get it cancelled. XD

Utu.

How can I not vote for Utu? He's Sal's bro-to-be.

There right now.

Worth it. Totally worth it.

Hey, I'm sure they were just as upset about the lack of a proper skull as you are now.

But seriously. I will never understand how stuff like this happens in games. You would think that you get ten toes for every giant killed, but instead you might be lucky enough to get one. Yay.

Anyway, good luck getting those skulls you need.

That is exactly what I have been doing, actually. Of course, driving for a few minutes, getting out, killing everything in sight, getting back into the Mako, and repeating the whole process all over again certainly gets tiring after a while.

Which is one reason I am really looking forward to this third playthrough of mine. I only need about 6,000 more XP points, so I figure I can just take it easy and use the cannon as much as I want.

Except for Thresher Maws. Somehow I enjoy fighting those on foot. XD

I generally enjoyed the Mako portions of the game during my first playthrough, despite the strange physics and its habit of flipping through the air as wildly as an alcoholic duck (or perhaps in part because of those factors).

And then I found out it cut my XP gain by half.

Haven't really enjoyed it since. Oh well.

I don't usually give my Pokemon nicknames, but while playing Colosseum I stumbled upon the name of Florasaurus for my Meganium.

Sometimes I think it's a better species name than Meganium is, although not usually. XD

My real name.

I was incredibly cheap when I picked my power, but at least I wouldn't have to spend much time worrying about my family ever being in danger. Unless... Oh no! What if my archenemy has a similarly-cheap power? Hmm...

What if I just refuse to give my name and let the world decide upon a name for me? They can only call me that-teen-who-randomly-appears-and-beats-all-the-bad-guys for so long before it just gets to be too much of a hassle. I may or may not like their idea, but at least it wouldn't be official.

Maybe...?

Kids on the Slope.

It's pretty much amazing (and can be watched legally for free, second Google result).

The ability to use the powers of any fictional character I have created.

A bit cheap, but hey. It'd give me a half-decent reason to have God Mode Sues. XD

Squidlips Spike Holystone?

Yeah. That's a name that will be feared across the seven seas. Maybe I'll just go by my middle name... XD

Also, literally finished watching Baccano! ten minutes ago, so that's kinda weird... Just like most coincidences are.

Wow, way to go! Hopefully I can one day link to a book I wrote...

What's weird is that I was thinking about being able to do just that earlier today. Anyway, I'll definitely purchase your book as soon as I can!

Go down Niagara Falls in a barrel with Lehvak Kal? Seems... fun. And cramped.

Also rather incredibly dangerous.

I also use the old one. I just feel like my eyes are failing me (even more than usual, that is) whenever I look at the new theme.

This is awesome. Can't wait to see the finished version!
