I love your videos too, which is why it's always disappointing that to find comments for the runs I have to hunt down the threads you posted them in. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand not wanting to deal with shit comments on your videos, but I think ignoring and putting up with them is worth the potential of good/interesting commentary on the vids.

I'm pretty sure I'd asked you why you had comments disabled before and expressed my annoyance about this (I think it was on the IRC channel or a PM I've since deleted? I can't find a previous thread where I brought it up), but I apologize if I'm mistaken. I just think it's a lot more convenient if videos don't have comments disabled, especially not great ones.

Doesn't ring a bell... also I've never used IRC, I don't get out much really. Image

Never thought of it that way re: threads. I'd hate to make anyone from here unhappy with that channel, particularly fellow hardcore 2D fans, so I'll open comments on it.

Cool beans.

Oh, and I think maybe I confused you for CptRansom, my bad. I could have sworn I'd asked you too why you had comments disabled and gotten a similar response, oh well.

Google Chrome just updated for me and changed all of the fonts so they look weird now. Like it's being squished from setting zoom to 90% but it's actually 100% size. :?

Is it a problem with Helvetica Neue Ultra Light font? I remember I had an issue with that font being EVERYWHERE and looking AWFUL as fuck on a new work computer. I had to go into safe mode to delete the font permanently so it would no longer appear as the default in webpages.

People who are so pathetic they turn a charity into an act of cruelty

I've tried not to link to the petitions I sign over here because I envision people giving me shit for actually signing petitions, but you have to see this one.

There's also a blatantly racist HBO show called Jonah from Tonga, which has a petition against it, as well as universally bad reviews (at least by the ones who weren't paid to give good reviews).

There are definitely WAY too many updates. I remember one time I had updates every time I shut down the computer for like a week. Like, a lot of them.

I bet they're trying to nag us into turning auto update to ON. The definition updates are once a day. :evil:

Today I remembered how much it sucks when the person driving in front of you suddenly gets on the brakes, then makes you wait while they back into a parking space or garage.

Similar. On a one-lane road behind someone who doesn't know how to parallel park in fewer than 5 tries. I mean, yeah, parallel parking sucks in general, and I get why people get stressed over it, but get your fucking rhythm sorted. It's not *that* hard.


Also: Chronic migraines. Fuck goddamnit. My cold-war fridge can't take much more Raid: Redemption-esque abuse. Gonna hafta start on the stove at some point.

Edit: Also: Creepy elderly men who are senile enough to overcome the fact that they were closeted gays their whole lives, and don't have the wherewithal to realize they're seriously freaking me out with their odd overtures. Not an issue I ever anticipated, but it's very unsettling. Sweaty handshakes... :|

Things aint going well with Koromaru and ken in P4AU, but I've been having this issue since I fell in love with Fei in ST.

Problem is amplified a bit in unbalanced games... unfortunately I'm not feeling Ultimax as much as I did the original...

Agreed, but he and Koro come as a team unfortunately so I was willing to make the sacrifice.

Because the real joy comes from beating humorless hardcores with them and watching them freak out.

This. I swear that some tiers are based solely on who's popular.

Unlock damnit, it was insightful and entertaining. I had more material but it will burn out by itself at some point. There's only so much documented stupidity I can gather.

Also the view count was very high for such a relatively short-lived thread. We were enjoying that.

What's the reason for locking anyway? :(
