I knocked over my glass of apple juice earlier getting it all over my desk and robe Which is a pain to clean up and meant I had to throw my robe in the washing machine In the long run that's kind of fine since it needed to get washed anyway But it means it's really cold for me right now I rely on it a lot to keep me warm when the weather's cold!
hmm i have soon gone through the whole pizza menu of my fav joint all that are left are stuff that are damn simple or the weird stuff like "salad+salad dressing+chicken+bbq sauce and something else"

or maybe she's just like "FML work sucks my dating life sucks i have to deal with these weirdos all the time" if only she would // if it hadnt been a pandemic and we could have a normal date
You just gotta keep trying to get through to her then!! She'll probably tell you in explicit terms that she doesn't want to see you before you get to a restraining order so if she hasn't told you to fuck off yet it's probably fine! Probably
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah thanks i'm bad at this stuff its so against my normal personality but at least i want to try
Anno
Some times you just gotta eschew politeness and be tactlessly selfish Going hard showing what you want is usually a good way of getting that message across
Romance is super hard But I think everyone is just stumbling around in the dark trying to connect to other people, even if some people seem good at it Nobody ever knows what they're doing

I gotta go get groceries but I don't wanna leave the apartmennnnt I guess I could just go later at night since the temperature isn't getting any colder and the place doesn't close until 23:00
the vital difference being the incels think it's a combination of Bad Genes and women being shit While I just know I'm not someone who can, fundamentally
Anno
No, you're narrowing the scope of the definition to suit your own self-fulfilling prophecy You believe it's out of your hands, beyond your capacity >>912610 Shut up and don't interrupt me you whiny brat Everything about your attitude is literally defining it as beyond your capacity, that you're not choosing to refuse it, that you can't attain it regardless That is as "involuntary" as it fucking gets. So drop this INvoluntarily CELibate attitude
>>912605 I don't think any of us here are normies. But also >>912606 Believing you're incapable of being in a romantic relationship almost guarantees that you won't be in one.
S C
yeah if you wanna define 100% of non-aro virgins and incels, sure I'm that Good job I guess
I mean, if you aren't interested in romantic or sexual relationships and therefore don't pursue them, you, by definition, would not be an incel because it would be voluntary. But even if you're aromantic you can still have an incel mindset.
>>912614 that's why I put the non-aro in there, tho
Anno
>>912612 I'm not talking about other people here I'm talking about you YOU have this whingy incel attitude towards romance that comes out all the time. If you were content and happy about your lot in life, it wouldn't be. But the way you express yourself is bitter or at least regretful that it's not that way. So for YOUR CASE in particular, yeah, I define your attitude as incel-y
S C
i can't deny it's similar, but i still resent being lumped in with those people
Anno
Then be better
S C
If I could be bette I wouldn't be whining about it

a girl i barely know called me and told me she was pregnant, so i was like "uhh congratulations but why are you telling me" and she got really mad and said it was mine, so i said "i have literally never had sex with you" and she started screaming at me about how i can't do this to her and stuff and then she was like "this isn't right and you know it matt turner" and i said im not matt turner and she suddenly realized she called the wrong matt

>>912794 I've been hovering around the 5100-5700 rank for a bit There's a pretty stiff wall forming around there it feels like
I think there's also a meta forming using that ghost girl that likes pudding Since she's got a skill that lets her turn invulnerable, which makes her a really powerful damage sponge for your frontliner A solid 80% at least of parties I go up against have her in them
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
>>912799 See this is why you're HARDSTUCK and im swiftly climbing up the ranks I don't conform to the meta
Anno
I haven't been either! Partially because my Miyako isn't really trained up. Also that range below like 8000 is really easy to climb through Just pick fights with people weaker than you and you almost always win
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
>>912809 Yeah. That's the mastermind sick strat Pick the lowest level with a party full of 1stars
Anno
There's also other options for frontline damage sponges Like that masochistic 2* girl In some ways she's even better than Miyako since while Miyako entirely nullifies damage, she can't nullify damage that's not targeting her. The masochistic girl can taunt and draw all damage to her, keeping your back lines from getting picked off
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
She's so weird as a character though Personality Makes me not want to spend resources lvling masochist girl up Even if I'd win more

> He said BCIs will lead to gaming experiences far better than a player could get through their "meat peripherals" — as in, their eyes and ears.
"You're used to experiencing the world through eyes," Newell said, "but eyes were created by this low-cost bidder that didn't care about failure rates and RMAs, and if it got broken there was no way to repair anything effectively, which totally makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, but is not at all reflective of consumer preferences.
"So the visual experience, the visual fidelity we'll be able to create — the real world will stop being the metric that we apply to the best possible visual fidelity.
"The real world will seem flat, colourless, blurry compared to the experiences you'll be able to create in people's brains.

In case you were wondering, a Valve-brand cybernetic limb is probably off the table for now.
"Valve is not in the business of creating virtual prosthetics for people," Newell said.
"This is what we're contributing to this particular research project, and because of that we get access to leaders in the neuroscience field who teach us a lot about the neuroscience side."
On the subject of prostheses, Newell said there are some interesting questions to answer around developing artificial limbs.
"As soon as you do that, they say, 'Oh, well can we give people a tentacle?' Our brains were never designed to have tentacles, but it turns out brains are really flexible."

well, it's a fairly unimportant patent anyway not like they would be able to shake someone out with it

i intend to market my stuff out but the problem is, if i do that now it could be adapted to a lot of parallel things so i gotta corner it off with a cluster of related patents so i can earn anything hopefully or maybe i can make anonymous patents so i can bring new knowledge to the world without letting anyone use it

but i don't really know shit about law so im having a patent lawyer help me strategize this stuff but not as a client just as a friend for now when i get things rolling we'll strike out a deal though

this BMTH track gets stuck in my head for days at a time
Anno
oh it's edited to look like the same show but still cool i guess it would be kind of hard for them to have a show together in the time since it's released maybe some day
Anno
BMTH has done some really good stuff in the last few years ever since Sempiternal they've been a really interesting band
Anno
>>913034 Oh I was just listening to this Cool lyric video I didn't actually notice that >>913036 I liked Sempiternal, one of the blokes at work recommended it me Haven't been paying super close attention to them but I like what I've heard so far
Anno
yeah i hadn't really paid attention since Sempiternal was new, but they've shifted nicely as time has gone on done some pretty cool projects some misses but more hits it's notable largely because a lot of music in that space hasn't really changed much in the last 15 years a lot of bands today even are still making the same metalcore and post-hardcore that was already old a decade ago not that i dislike that kind of music, i still love it but it's cool that bands like Code Orange and Bring Me The Horizon are pushing boundaries a little bit more incorporating electronic production more heavily, or doing cool live projects like Code Orange's virtual concert or BMTH's Royal Albert Hall show with a full orchestra

That big water pool there is also an actual functional thing It's a fishing spot that counts as open water if you slap your bobber into that dirt block, which means you can get treasure there And under the surface, there's kelp growing around the edges, and that can be used for either fuel or, surprisingly, producing water source blocks, which makes soulsand elevators a lot easier to make

I'm actually just so proud of this skybase
When it began, it was just a mobspawner tower, but it's becoming a whole base

did ascending the 1Star ones make them much stronger?
Anno
At level forty-nine, ascending Karyl increased her Power rating by like 300 Less abstractly, her Magic Attack stat went up by somewhere in the 150-200 range Pecorine and Kokkoro were much earlier ascensions so I can't really remember the increase in power from them But I'd say it definitely helps a lot My other 1* characters that are around the same level as them are easily hundreds less in Power rating than them
I felt kind of ripped off after I finally got all the slots full to rank up Makoto and now she's actually a little weaker since she has no equipment even though she's a higher rank
Anno
Were you refining her equipment before upgrading?
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
Yeah. A couple of the higher tier items
Anno
Yeah, I ran an experiment earlier today and I think the basic stats you get for ranking up start to get pretty slim in the higher ranks With no equipment refined, one character I ranked up only got like seven more points in her Power rating Which means yeah, refining equipment quickly gets better basic stats than ranking up. My Kokkoro's been sitting at the precipice of rank six for a while not but I haven't upgraded her since I don't think I've got any of the equipment pieces for that level.
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
>>913131 mmn yeah. makes since cus the issue now is that all of her slots for the new Rank are from levels which are further than I've progressed
Anno
Guess it's time to round out your other characters then! Though really I don't think if you ranked her up that she lost that much power Maybe if you were already winning only on margins, but I'd bet that wasn't really the case.

they were doing well when they did a few shows but now that they're doing everything they have tons of annoying shit like, 10 different languages in one episode? it's so annoying sometimes the timing is pretty off too and they consistently release 2 or 3 versions of the same shows always v0 this and v0 that and they're consistently three or four days later than subsplease

Funny thing happened tonight So after work it's pretty normal for a bunch of us to gather right outside the front steps of the store while we wait for Ubers to show up and generally just shoot some shit and unwind after the workday Now of course being outside we're not perfectly adhering to social distancing standards or always wearing our masks. But we're outside and we work for eight hours a day indoors in close proximity to each other who gives a fuck
Shortly before we were ready to wrap up for the night we all notice this one stranger just standing outside our little circle of conversation out there on the sidewalk. Thinking he wants to get past (he'd been standing there a good thirty or forty seconds though), we part the circle to let him past, and he gives the most saccharinely fake "oh THANK you for properly social distancing", which promptly sets one of the guys off and starts chewing the stranger out for being a dick. The stranger kept trying to take the moral high ground trying to lecture us on ignoring social distancing protocols, which kept getting more and more of a rise out of the guy who was already pissed off at him. Eventually the stranger took out his phone and started recording or taking photos, at which point our assistant manager who was out there with us tried to step in and defuse it a bit, but by that point the stranger was threatening to send the photos or video to the company and that he'd take the guy who'd gotten angry down. Like full on "you're going DOWN" kind of cheesy threats. Eventually he had his fill or whatever and stalked off, but we kinda just kept taking the piss out of him for a while after he left. Guy really was a character.
