Because the sound is written differently in other languages.

H doesn't sound like the English H sound in other languages. In Spanish, for example, J makes the "H" sound.

People who don't have anything to say on IMs but reply to whatever you said anyway with some stupid non-words. Why do they even bother logging on in the first place, god.

I got a zipper caught yesterday with my keys inside the pocket. The zipper gets caught on an underlap and an overlap. Why didn't they make the overlap a bit bigger so it wouldn't get caught.

Your immediate thought is to click on it.

I'd rather that than anyone who speaks like they're fucking texting.
It's the norm on IRC, or at least the server I'm usually on.

<person1> so people talk like this
<person2> jajaja

instead of:
<person1> so ppl tk lik this
<person2> LOL yea


Unless they're just mashing the keyboard just for the sake of a response...
<person1> so people talk like this

Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

This is more or less what I meant, yeah. Though I'm beginning to think my friends may not be much better IRL either... Forever alone unless I summon the courage to go to a shmupmeet I suppose.

Both roommate girlfriends living in my house. One leaves soon, thank Crom. Through lots of human observation and cynicism, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say I want to die alone and prefer the solitude of a quiet home, indulgence of hobbies, and felines.

parents. not mine, my parents are awesome, but other people's parents. I could go on and on and on but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. though I will mention that I hate it when parents don't let their kids say pseudo-swear words like crap or frickin or sucks

I just noticed in Futari (Xbox) that when Palm uses a bomb, as Hirow's breathing lightning his tail actually moves up a layer above Palm's body and wags back and forth for several frames as though it's moving right through Palm's butt and left leg. There's also a few frames of animation just as the bomb starts where Palm's right leg moves visibly through Hirow's leg like it's made of air. I don't know why this bothers me.

I live in the outskirts of Tokyo - not an amazing or expensive place to be. There are lots of old people, and it takes about 20 minutes to get to the nearest place anyone would want to go (Akihabara). I don't think there are many zoning laws here, so you may see porno shops across from elementary schools, liquor stores next to mental hospitals, or in my case a love hotel right next to my house. In the photo below, my house is on the right, and this sleazy fucking place is on the left:

Wait.. what's that in the parking lot?

A goddam rubber fist. :evil: :evil:

Not the first time I've seen vibrators, dildos, used condoms, panties, etc. in this parking lot, but this is the first rubber fist I've found. I feel a mix of annoyance and surprise. Someone put that thing in their ass?!

Everything in Berkeley closes around 10PM.

Except Saturn, where I've been fulfilling my Twin Peaks fantasy, where I order coffee and pie while reading until midnight.

Putting in a quarter or token in a coin slot to play an arcade game/pinball game but it doesn't credit it up & you get ripped off. So I try the coin slot next to the one that gipped me and that one steals coins as well. Finally tried the third coin slot and it's working normally as it should be/supposed to.

It's all part of the charm/experience of playing those type of games inside them bowling alleys and whatnot. Can't say that with those arcade games that use a debit card system in place though.

Also, when the card-based systems take 3+ seconds to actually credit up after swiping the card. I guess they're talking to a central server over ZigBee or some such.

That's the worst. Was playing Daytona USA at Dave and Busters, and it almost timed out waiting for more players before the reader picked up my friends...

I effing love Arcade Odyssey -- the staff will respond and try to get the machine taking coins if the slots don't work right. And they'll usually hand you an extra token or two.

Why would you need courage to go to a shmupmeet dude? If you're lucky enough to have one in the vicinity, go dammit, you'll only have a blast with like minded gamers and make some new friends on the way.
