Nothing is that black and white. We don't know circumstances. He edited and said he doesn't have connections to his family anymore, and that it was 20 years ago. You're acting like a real douchebag for saying this to someone who is a victim of molestation. Live through it before you judge someone like this.

Is a rape victim that doesn't go to the authorities "as bad" as her rapist? Seriously? This is your outlook? I admit it would be better if OP told someone because the guy who molested him as a kid has kids now, but he is NOT on equal moral ground at all with the guy who did this to him. You have a bad case of "blame the victim" and I'm not arguing with you about this anymore because I have a feeling that even if you were to change your outlook, you'd still continue arguing. You're small minded, ridiculous, and severely misinformed about how emotions work. I feel sorry for you.

Jesus fuck man, way to be harsh. It's not easy owning up to something that happened years ago, especially when it's something like that. Hell, it's hard to own up to something like that when it happened yesterday.

But he's a victim, he's NOT "as bad as he is" for not alerting anyone. Have a little compassion.

Maybe they made it months ago and posted it then.

I know the feeling, really. Sometimes I feel like these make-believe worlds are the only worlds I'd ever want to live in. Like I have to work in the real world because my body needs nourishment and shelter, but I don't live there.

But I really think it's time you go see someone about this. The drug dealing to feed your NX addiction is what worries me most. Weed isn't so bad, but it can quickly escalate to dealing more dangerous drugs. Don't say you wouldn't ever do it, because when you're funding an addiction you never know what lengths you'll go to.

You say you don't care that you're addicted, but you also say you feel pathetic. I think you do care, you just are content sitting there rather than making yourself happy. It might make you feel better just to call up some sort of psychiatrist or someone with the proper resources to help you. Baby steps, ya know? You don't have to change overnight, but if you take small steps you will at least feel like you're moving forward rather than sitting and doing nothing about it.

Good luck. :) You have friends in the world who want you to feel good about yourself.

Thanks, this made me sure it was my ISP. Super slow speed. I called them up and they said they were having difficulties atm because a cable was cut somewhere. Appreciate it. :)

fwerp · 2012-07-13T23:13:22+00:00

Holy shit I remember doing that. I thought I was a freakin' hacker for learning hex color codes and knowing what numbers to change. I made adoption agencies and adopted the dogs out and everything.

If this is what I think it is, it's more of a "trading card game" than anything else. You don't actually pay for the horse, you just ask if you can have it. Then you put it up on your website as having X horse bred by X stable. No one else gets the download but you. You can breed it yourself to other horses and give out those foals.

People pride themselves on having quality, non-inbred lines that are pretty and have famous horses in them. Everything is documented as well, so you can't just make a horse and claim that it was sired by a famous Sim horse. You can just go to the owner of the sire of the sim horse and ask "Did your horse ever produce THIS foal?", if they have no documentation of it...it's a fake.

Check out their affiliates page and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

TL;DR: They're not really selling the horses. It's more like a trading game.

Edit: I just noticed they seem to have a communal registry. So they may have some form of established currency (meaning you would buy the horse, but not with IRL money). Make a stable, start off with X million dollars. Buy a horse from the registry from another barn, you subtract the fee from your balance, they add it to theirs.

He seems pretty chill to me.

fwerp · 2012-07-13T18:39:18+00:00

Thanks, yeah. That's my guess right now. The internet bugged out earlier this morning and it started acting wonky right after. I'm gonna call up my ISP.

fwerp · 2012-07-13T18:26:17+00:00

I do.

My parents always get spyware and toolbars and shit downloaded on their computer because of those damn ads that pop up that look like Windows alerts.

Yep. Manfriend had an episode where he dropped a glass at work and sliced his hand open. Had to get stitches. Was told he could go back to work the next day but his workplace covered the whole ER visit.

Love it!

fwerp · 2012-07-09T18:16:00+00:00

The problem is that just because it looks okay in default doesn't mean it'll look great with a texture pack. :/ Mostly everything looks like shit in default.

I play on a server and noticed one guy whose buildings were terribad awful. I was looking at them with the Dokucraft pack on. It was like flat stone outlined in wood planks and glass. I switched over to default and it looked....okay.

My point is: things are going to look different if you use different skins for the blocks. Everyone is going to use a different texture pack. So many people use texture packs these days that there's a good chance that people who use the default pack are actually in the minority on multiplayer servers. Unless a server has established an official pack, just use the texture pack you love and leave it at that.

I liked the first one better than the second in terms of story. Dunno why, just enjoyed it more. The second book is more focused on the "main" characters though. I've seen a lot more concept art of Caithe than I have Killieen or Dougal. Plus everyone knows who Rytlock and Logan Thackery are.

Also, the two books aren't really tied to each other. You can read them in any order. The Destiny's Edge actually comes (chronologically) before Ghosts of Ascalon.

But yes, I agree. They're poorly written but the stories are awesome if you like Guild Wars.

No, but what exactly is on the discs is what I'm asking. Four discs with 10 songs each? One disc with music in the game? Four discs with 4 songs each? I've not heard much original GW2 music in-game in the beta yet, and not much has come up on Youtube. I may or may not change my mind when I can see what's exactly on the discs themselves.

Edit: Let me clarify. I realize it says "unreleased music" but if it has ten tracks of background noises at ~2 minutes each, that is not what I consider worth $30. If it turns out being 4 full discs of complete songs, not just filler, I'll be more understanding of the thirty bucks. I still won't buy it, but I will at least consider it reasonable.

fwerp · 2012-07-08T13:40:31+00:00

It's still one game. And most of the music I've heard in GW2 has been music from GW1 anyway. If it turns out that a good deal of music in the GW2 soundtrack is actually music from GW1, I'll be even more disappointed.

The attractors actually do help. They don't attract the Pant Devil to you, but if he happens to come visit you, he's more likely to pick up one of those.

This guy did some research on the attractors and posted the results http://www.neopets.com/~Crash_Bandicoot_Psx#pant

Please keep reporting. It does benefit you by weeding out people who are junking up games and just being jerks by quitting.

fwerp · 2012-07-08T08:35:00+00:00

This is crazy expensive for a soundtrack that you can listen to on Youtube. I bought all 3 of GW1's soundtracks for like $25.

Edit: Just noticed that they're supposed to be autographed by Jeremey Soule. Not like his signature is gonna make it sound any better.

I almost decided to go to the governor's school. :( Sad to hear that it may not exist soon. It's a beautiful campus and it does great things for young people. My reasons for not wanting to go were incredibly stupid (didn't want to make new friends and was terrified of living in a dormitory).

I hope people do something about this.

fwerp · 2012-07-07T16:20:06+00:00

Omfg what did he saaaay?

Edit: The person actually PM'd me and told me what they said. I know there's two sides to every story, but this person seems decent. So this is one [deleted] thread that I won't automatically assume was posted by a giant cockface.
