    Oh no, that's definitely the case. This is absolutely a show that makes fun of all these tropes all the time. The whole time I was watching it I kept getting a Cromartie High School vibe, and it just totally makes sense that you would like this show. It's a funny show, aside from the fact that from now on I'm probably going to come away from every episode feeling sexually frustrated and deeply confused

    I came to this thread specifically to post about Speed-o'-Sound Sonic. I feel like he and Genos are the ultimate "tight" characters. Like you can have a Zac Efron cyborg with a tortured past or a weird, dark ninja guy/Sasuke-from-Naruto clone.
     
    The characters are so lame. I feel like they're both mocking edgy characters — the kinds that weebs obsess over. I mean they're not overtly ridiculous. It's more subtle. These "badass" characters standing next to Saitama is funny. The show doesn't take itself too seriously. These aren't characters that you're supposed to make fan art of. I feel like anyone who is legitimately like "man these characters are cool" does not get the concept of the show.

    We stayed until 6 am. We had to be at work at noon.
    :)
    God only knows
    She just turned 27, I'm 24
    I see her practically everyday. It went well today. We didn't mention it at all really. She hasn't acted any different. She's always been really flirty and touchy and I reciprocate pretty often anyway. Last night was just me taking advantage of a situation. It could have gone farther if I had pushed it, but I started to feel bad for her husband so I backed off a bit.

    So last night my boss offered me a promotion at my busboy job from server to team captain. Its something like $15 an hour as opposed to my current $10, and I'd be in a leadership role making sure the room was set up properly for guests, and things in general getting done on time. It was a great opportunity, and a big boost to my ego since I've been there all of six months, but I had to turn him down. If all goes well, I'll be picking up a job in my field, or at least an internship, this march while I'm at GDC. And if that works out, I'd obviously have to leave my position as a team captain, and it doesn't really work out for them to only have me for a few months before they need to train someone else again.
    Or at least, that's what I tell myself. Every professional I spoke with told me the art industry was difficult to break into, and I can expect years of waiting until someone decides to take a chance on me. It's especially frustrating because I know I can be good at whatever job I'm given the opportunity to be good at. When I was telemarketing I started out awful, but I worked at getting better at it. I showed up to every shift I could, read a book on salesmanship, and listened to all of the advice my managers gave me. By the time I had to leave because of graduation, the school's lead fundraiser called me "an impressive young man" and said I should switch to a business major in salesmanship. I even impressed people who were professional telemarketers themselves over the phone who recommended I go work for some of the more respectable firms in chicago.
    Over the summer, T1g and I were both given jobs at my dad's office, in which we both worked two days a week in the same position (sharing the hours and the money). After two months of that, they just fired t1g and gave me his hours(GET REKT T1G). I had to leave that position a few days ago too because I needed to have time to build my portfolio, work on submissions to annual illustration publications, and just try to find a job in general. That's something I haven't had time to do in a while because I've been so busy between my two jobs. But they liked me too, and were ready to train me to take over for the intern that was there if I was willing.
    I know I can do well at any job I'm offered. But by the nature of the game design industry, jobs are almost always given to people who are friends of the developers who are already on the team. Game design is entirely team based, and nobody wants to take a risk on a greenhorn who might be a bad artist or a lone wolf if they don't have to. So I get why, I'm just frustrated with waiting. I keep seeing at all of these other opportunities for success and turning them down because this is what I want to do, but then I know I'm going to show up at GDC and be told "you're not what we're looking for," or "Sorry, not right now" or "We really liked your stuff, but we ended up going with someone else." And so on. I don't know where I'm going with this rant so I'm gonna stop now.

    I think about that a lot. I remember reading about an old MMO game where you could kill anyone anywhere, and the creator jumped into the game one day and everybody tried to kill him just to see if they could. And he forgot to turn on his immortality, and so he died. And I've seen videos of Notch joining Minecraft servers, and then everybody trying to kill him immediately. I think part of our nature is to prove to ourselves that god is really immortal or something. I don't know, I don't really care to talk about philosophy with people lol

    Just throwing this out there, if I can find a good emu and rom for it I'm gonna stream the original advance wars game since I've never played it. I'm not gonna set fancy dates for it or anything like I did Undertale since I don't even know if I'd finish it, but I'm gonna play it a bit.

    Thanksgiving wasn't a time, it's actually a pretty recent creation
     
     
    ALSO, my mom surprised me with this:
    I am on her phone plan. And I was preparing to buy this myself, but we had to wait until the monthly bill payment went through. So she knew I was gonna get it for myself, but then she went out and bought it outright
    I rarely get gifts, so it felt nice. Also look how pink it is
     
    I told myself I wouldn't buy another Apple product because of how shitty the iPhone 5c is and because my iPod classic died. Also those dicks stopped selling the 160gb iPod classic so they can sell the dumbass 125gb iPod Touch. 
    But look at it. My status as a person is greater than yours because I own this.

    I dunno if it was cajun, but it was definitely southern. And I have absolutely no problem with it, I have long since accepted it as canon and am therefore always thrown off when I see him making weird gibberish noises in smash bros

    I remember there was an episode of kirby's TV show where dedede gave everyone free dedede piggybanks, and then at night when everyone slept the piggybanks would suggest everyone go put all their money and savings in dedede's royal bank or whatever. And then they all went and did it the next day and so on, and that was the evil plot kirby had to stop in that episode. The kirby TV show was weird.
    Anyways, maybe that's what you're dealing with. Maybe you're not actually getting to sleep at night and then you wake up and you just do weird shit during the day. Have you been doing weird shit lately for seemingly no reason EDA? Has Treemo been hypnotically suggesting weird shit to you in your sleep?
