    I wish I were rich and lived in Florida

  • what on earth is glamorous about florida
  • My aunt is literally Kankri Vantas.
  • red sweaters are cute.
  • real talk tho there are so many things you can be that are worse than kankri
  • Well yes, but being around a person who constantly berates you and thinks that as long as she doesn't raise her voice I have no reason to get upset certainly isn't fun.

    MIAMI

    which is full of RICH PEOPLE
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    (Granted, I've been to Florida before, but it was the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas)
  • Rich people are boring.


    Dexter, on the other hand, is not.
  • I am so random, ex-dee, ex-dee.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    I hated being called that but then I locked all those people in a Schrödinger box, and now they are the ones that are so random. :)
  • Your avatar reminds me that I really need to play the Persona games. I think you'd like this, Earthlight.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    I never even played Persona 4 but I love Kanji Tatsumi. Persona 3 is really fun though. :D

    *watches le vid* Interesting. I noticed before that P3 has a diverse supporting cast and also that there are good female characters, but if P4 directly addresses diversity, and in the main cast, that is even better. :)

    Why would you allow your kitty to ride on the dashboard? Seems dangerous...

    Anyway, I have to get to work soon, but I thought I should give y'all the good news: I FINALLY managed to get my prescription refilled! Hopefully this will restore at just some sense of normalcy to my life.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    yay for prescriptions. :D
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ^^Yay!

    Wuzzat?

    I mean, I recognize the quote, but why are you using it?
  • Hmm. I was wondering whether you'd recognize it.

    Not that that's the reason for my posting. Perhaps I'll explain later.

  • Doggy, why are biting me, is it because of the time I convinced your wife to divorce you?

  • "Now, I don't know if this is the fault of anyone at Zynga, but for anyone who plays Magic, every card in the new set had 'Protection from every card from the previous sets'".

    Huh. The fact that this nullified the collections of anyone playing that game before Zynga got it reminds me of the Xbox One.

    Have you been binging Extra Credits?
  • And that wouldn't fly in Magic either. I mean, there's Standard, which forces you to use the most recent sets, but that's just tournament play. Casual gamers (i.e. a good lot of Magic players) would tear that to pieces.
  • Good! It's my current favorite web series.
  • I was having a discussion on the Extra Credits forums and someone said this about TGWtG
    This is definitely a discussion for another thread- but two years ago, I was one of their biggest followers. Two years later, something happened-

    1. I realised it was absolute bollocks
    2. I realised that the site was actually promoting an absolute severance of development as a human being. I have grown up very fast since leaving their presence and watching their old stuff is horribly cringeworthy.

    Also learnt a few horrible things about the people involved but again, another story entirely.
    And I don't really know what to say to that so I'm just all O_o
  • I don't know if any of you have noticed, but it usually bothers me quite a bit when people say stuff like that about things I like.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Aside from the occasional Todd In The Shadows episode I have barely watched any TGWTG in ages

    I'm not sure if I'd really like the Nostalgia Critic now...it was fun when I was 13-14, though
  • Well, I did say this
    That's an awfully bold claim to make without supporting it in any way.
    to which he said
    I agree completely, I don't want to clog the thread up with it, it's why I said it's best left for another day. Really, I could get into a big chat about this, but that's not what this thread is for.
    and frankly, this isn't the kind of discussion I want to have. If he's calling them horrible people from the get-go, he's probably not worth discussing this with.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    1 is an opinion and 2 is a personal experience so it is not really a claim. You also don't look as good if you seem defensive. If you want this person to elaborate, you can ask what they don't like about the series. This is an invitation to hear themselves talk and will seem less like an argument. :)
  • Bleh, I don't feel like it. The closest thing I have to a "trigger" (at least in the butchered Tumblr sense) is people criticizing things I like. It actually makes me really uncomfortable and often makes it difficult for me to do anything else for a little while.
  • aaaaaaaaand of course my aunt is berating me again. Ugh. I'm going to have to ride with her to Colorado. 
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Ask him to talk to you about it with him over PM or something. I get the feeling that, if anything, his issues lie more with certain elements of the fandom and his own embarrassment with his participation in them than with anything else. As for "horrible things," I would have to hear who he was referring to and what the accusations were to say whether or not he was blowing smoke or exaggerating.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Bwahahaha, I was poking around on RW and I found the link to the orgone lady's site. XD
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    The people who say that about the early days of TGWTG seem to have the same mentality as the people on YouTube who complain about 240p -- they don't bother to check the dates. The oldest stuff on TGWTG goes back to 2007-2008; HD cameras were expensive then, and proper lighting and such was often an afterthought.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I remember when the NC was just a guy on YouTube...wonder what I'd think of those videos now.
  • Admittedly, his videos have aged considerably worse than the AVGN's. But I'd still say TGWtG is considerably better than Youtube reviewers.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    Yesterday, I bought Powerpuff Girls stickers from Kmart that was there for over 10 years. Comes to show how outdated that store is. O_o
  • The sadness will last forever.
    Oh about NC...I don't like the Demo Reel actors being in his reviews that much and the skits last even longer which is annoying padding.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    @Lee: Well, there are other reasons to dislike the work of many of the site's contributors. Some of it is professional but exceedingly formulaic and predictable; other times the writing simply falls flat in trying too hard, or is simply horribly inconsistent. I could go into a whole exegesis on my problems with Linkara's stuff, but that would be giving the whole matter more effort than it is worth.

    This is not to say that there are not contributors to the site that I like; there are several of whom that I quite enjoy. I must also hasten to add that I find the people that actively loathe the site exceedingly tiresome and annoying. But that does not change the fact that there are legitimate reasons not to like TGWTG.
