  3. Michael added a post in a topic What games are you playing currently?   

    I just finished King's Quest Chapter 1 and thought it was pretty good. Not really "what I'm playing now" but thought it was worth mentioning.
  4. Michael added a post in a topic Coke or Pepsi: What is the Supreme Soda?   

    This should probably be in Serious Discussions...
  5. Michael added a post in a topic Public Bathrooms   

    I do not use public restrooms unless I absolutely have to go really really really bad.
    I'm even hesitant to use the bathrooms at work...

    Community Streamers Widget
    As mentioned in an earlier thread today (http://www.hyrule.net/forum/topic/19173-twitchtv/), I knew there was a few people here who streamed and I wanted to help them hopefully get some new viewers.
    You'll now find that there is a new widget in the sidebar that shows current live streamers, the game they are playing and their channel status.

    Clicking their picture or name will take you immediately to their twitch channel page. The little bubble on the right is the current viewer count. You then have the game they are playing as well as their channel status.
    If you are a frequent contributor to this community and you stream, feel free to post your twitch channel in http://www.hyrule.net/forum/topic/19173-twitchtv/ and I will add you.

    Frankenweenie first came out in the 1980s however was later redone whether or not they are exactly the same I'm not sure.
    I thought 9 was ok, though it was hard to get into at first. I've seen it a couple of times since then but I don't really see it as a movie people would really go back to watch other than as a last resort.
  8. Michael added a post in a topic What is the last video you watched?   

    I agree, but apparently we just don't know how to survive.
  9. Michael added a post in a topic Amiibo Ideas and Discussion   

    FYI, I've merged the Amiibos thread I made into this one.

    Big Fish is good. You can watch it on Amazon for free if you have Amazon Prime: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Fish-Billy-Crudup/dp/B00190KZUU/, I actually never realized it was directed by Tim Burton until just now.
    Don't forget about Sleepy Hollow, I liked it, though another Tim Burton film with Johnny Depp in it.

    The hearts are from The Minish Cap. Sahaqiel made some heart icons before but I've lost the image

  14. Michael added a post in a topic TAPPY I AM PUBLICALLY ASKING YOU A QUESTION   

    I do, do web hosting for a couple of friends I've come about through the IRC servers. There are a handful of websites running on the same dedicated server as Hyrule.net, mostly all mine though... I have a habit of buying domains and thinking "OH I'd love to make that website/community."
    I like to do this as a hobby at this time, the sites I host for people I host for free, out of my pocket. I do not ask for Ad revenue and I'll never put Ads on my websites (ever again). I've thought about adding a donate button somewhere but I don't feel right asking for money.
    I also do some web development on the side as another hobby under my community name "PiLabs" https://pilabs.io/ however I haven't had very much time to focus on these projects in quite a while.
    I've actually helped Mases, owner of ZeldaDungeon.net with *some* stuff (not very much) so I've helped others outside of Hnet while in the overall zelda fansite sphere.
    I used to be a part of a secret zelda fansite webmaster forum (that no longer exists now) where we all congregated. But if anyone asks about it, It's a secret to everybody.
    That all being said...
    Would I do this as a real professional job? Ehhhhh probably not. I've been working for a K-12 public school district, for about ~6 years now? Started as an IT Intern (technology grunt work) got hired full time (IT Technician I (technology grunt work with more money)) then got recently promoted to IT Technician II or more publicly known as a Systems Administrator. I've thoroughly enjoyed my job every year... It's not very often that you get to directly help the future generations of this world. I do so by providing the technology platform for students to utilize while learning from their teachers who use more technology to teach said students. I hope @Cirt feels the same way about her job, if she doesn't well Cirt I hope you do eventually!
    I have Hyrule.net listed on my Linked In profile, and yes I have used Hyrule.net on my resume/during my recent application for the Systems Administrator position I got (mentioned above). Dustin has actually asked me if I was interested in working for iThemes, whether or not it was a serious offer or not I'm not sure al though I assume it was. 
    I come and go here in stints, though I've always consider this place like a second home. I try to maintain things for a couple of reasons, part of me wishes Hyrule.net would gain some new faces and regain some of the activity it used to have, and as long as people to continue to visit I have no problem keeping the lights on.
    Hope that answers your question

    Time does fly fast.
    Unless you're like myself and you've been here for almost 9 years, then time flies way too fast.
    Strange, it might take a little bit of time to update?
  19. Michael added a post in a topic Talk   

    I noticed this as well, however when I looked I couldn't find that setting.
    Edit
    Of course, when I look again I find it. Are you able to see it now?

    I hope you feel better, it's never easy losing someone close to your heart.
    You're welcome to PM me if you need someone to talk to (in private).

    Does it matter?
    Since "Psychiatric" has to do with mental illness and it's treatment. Does that generally not mean that saying "Mental Hospital" is the same thing? You go to a hospital for for treatment of an ailment. You go to a mental hospital to get treatment to a mental ailment.
    If you think one is more demeaning than the other, when they both mean the same thing then that's your deal.
    I do not think people are crazy because they say they go to a Mental Hospital instead of a Psychiatric Hospital.
    For the record everyone is cray cray not just people who go to get treatment.
    That being said I recommend we move on from this topic but do so as you all please.

    How do you mean? Can you link to some examples?
    Unfortunately youtube links posted before the upgrade were broken. I also changed the max width of the youtube embeds to 1280px and it doesn't automatically update old posts.

    Sweet Sixteen
    Sixteen years ago, today, Hyrule.net came to life and sixteen years later is still around. While people have come and gone Hyrule.net has been a big part of a lot of our lives for the better or the worst, however in the end it has created a tight knit community who some may call their second family.
     

    Happy Birthday Hyrule.net!
