RUH ROH! Could also be a pillow or an animal or a ghost. Also didn't specify if this was real life or in Harvest Moon or the Sims. Be more respectable next time and don't assume it's a human just because you're used to that sort of thing. We keep an open mind here, FASCIST.
Sorry you don't trust someone enough that they'd marry a human or get married in real life when they said they did :-( Your joke is insulting in a way.

Just messing with you.

Insert Guile death throes. "OOOOO AUGHHHHH" But seriously, congrats to Seraph. :wink:

Back on topic: cleaned my room for the first time this year. Sorta. Halfway. Found half a variety pack of tenga eggs underneath clothing. +1

Congrats ACSeraph!

I’ve been tobacco-free for a whole year now. Smoked for about 15 years, I still miss it, but....
I ran +10 miles on the bike trail, so there are some good things about quitting I suppose.

I try to run 8 miles when I can, either on treadmill or on a trail outside my house. Congrats about quitting smoking. You'll only be healthier for it.

A publisher sent me a contract today to publish my game and vowed to put money and artists into it. I'm surprised. Steam contacts manage to go a long way.

Had a few credits of TGM2, managed to clear normal mode! It was quite the shock.

Caffeine-free for 6 months now.

First two months were brutal, I'm not a smoker but I feel like I have a small idea of what they go thru when they quit now.

You would've finished a year ago if you hadn't wasted time posting on shmups forum scrub

Seriously though congrats, I definitely don't have the patience for much more than basic clears of those games.

My old job back in the US got me addicted to energy drinks in order to keep up with the endless long shifts. When I got to Japan I essentially went cold turkey and it was surprisingly rough, like having Jet lag for months. Good on you to escape its grip :)

I finally beat the Challenge Tower in MK9. 300 challenges, with the last 30 getting really nasty at times (beat three Shao Kahns, beat three Goros, etc.). The final one is beating four people with one life bar (Goro, Kintaro, Mileena and Shao Kahn). Now, let's get to unlocking some goodies :)

Haha, forum meme confirmed. Cheers dude. Honestly it'd not that demanding skillwise, It's a test of patience and how prepared you are to sift through the wikis. Demon souls was the worst for this, and the most demanding.

Ran my first half marathon today. This is the furthest I've ever run in one stretch and I'm pretty pleased with my time (1:50) considering I did very little training. Legs are pretty sore right now but the satisfaction makes up for it.Image

Err, I did about 4-5 runs as practice. Maybe two weeks? My wife was annoyed / impressed, she's been training for months and came in at 2 hours and some change. I think I just have an advantage on account of having long legs.

Recently caught up with all the new achievements added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth DLC.
I'm a nerdx1000 for sure.

Here's my hard mode run as ???, Boss rush, Hush, Dark room and Mega Satan defeated.

On the subject of achievements/trophies,

Just finally finished up the Tales of Symphonia platinum trophy. Took a huge break from the game then started recently to finish the playthrough up to the point where I could get Regal's last title since it was the last thing I needed. It's also my 1,337th trophy on PSN.

That was a minimum of 4 playthroughs(with reloading), but I wanted everything on the same file, so I had to do a 5th playthrough. But I missed a title for Colette that has a stupidly short time window to get, so I had to do a 6th playthrough since I had to waste one of the playthroughs to pick Colette at Flanoir a second time.

I'll probably finish the rest of the playthrough sometime, but for now, I'm either going to continue DotNW(up to chapter 6 on NG+ Mania since I don't have Unknown yet), finally beat Dark Souls because I quit playing it for other games, or finish up Lightning Returns platinum trophy first(need the trophy for upgrading a lot of accessories, which will let me do NG+ with a guide to see all the quests I missed or failed)

Wow, good job.

I aimed to get everything in the GCN release way back then, but lost interest after a couple of playthroughs. Couldn't even finish NG+ in the PS3 port.

Just got the final Steam Achievement for Super Meat Boy. It was obviously Impossible Boy.

That was the longest no death run for me to get. Most of the later ones took a few hours of practice and attempts. This one for Dark Cotton Alley took me a bit over 12 hours of practice and attempts because of me being bad at the game and making mistakes due to inconsistency. It happened during a practice session too, so it ended up being in 1-20 order instead of me doing a specific order meant to get the hard stuff out of the way first.

Holy !@#$%, i finished PS2 Shinobi! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Well, for you, guys with 1cc's and else, it may sound "meh" as it's just on "Normal" difficulty and not even no-miss, but, whatever. For such "not competitive" gamer like me it was a real threat. Of ~33 hours i spent with game only ~2.5 hours is what counts. Pretty evil, huh.

Beat the 6th Challenge in Vanquish. I've no deathed the main game a few times now, once using only the Assault Rifle on Normal (no grenades, only the occasional turret and sniper rifle where mandatory), but the last challenge had eluded me for a while. No more! No capture device, so just a quick vid of getting the achievement.

Kill time is absolute garbage, had a rough time surviving let alone speedkilling ;-;

Now off to try and no-death God Hard.

Nice! Challenge 6 is crazy.

God Hard no deaths without checkpoint or mission restarts..? best of luck with that. I'd love to see a recording. There's a 'no-death' run on YT but it's spliced, you can see him cut in mission restarts & there's a lot of near-death situations along with unnecessary risks.
I've been meaning to attempt speedruns of God Hard since a japanese player started running that and some new glitches were found. Been putting it off since each attempt would take two hours and been busy lately (and score/speed runs are time consuming regardless). I'm not nearly consistent enough for no-death full runs of GH.
