I feel your struggle of being bad at video games

lol jk

I suck at multiplayer online games.

[2Bad]

I would have spoiler tagged it.

It doesn't matter, that completely recontextualizes the entire series and it's so STUPID. Don't talk about it, especially since they should just watch the show where it isn't relevant.

What was your reaction to the ending?

[Historia]

But, yeah, no, that ending wasn't trash. It was just taboo and, therefore, uncomfortable to some. Being raised with (more than likely) a completely different set of morals/beliefs/brainwashing tactics also plays a part.

I do agree that the part 2 was wholly unnecessary, and I am a bit disappointed in how a few things played out, but certainly don't see what we got as anything so terrible nobody should ever read it ever.

[2Bad]

What was your reaction to the ending?

The same as basically everybody.

It's not just the taboo. I watched Koi Kaze all the way through so it sure as hell wasn't the taboo. It was also the fact that it felt unnecessary.

[LJ3]

I don't know what the author was thinking.

Why go there? It's not Oreimo and even then, publishers didn't want that explicit.

Y'all are being real subtle about what it is by the way.

OK seriously, Christremo is more nuanced.

It's not just the taboo. I watched Koi Kaze all the way through so it sure as hell wasn't the taboo. It was also the fact that it felt unnecessary.

But we're talking about Usagi Drop, not Koi Kaze.

[just Beamu]

We're probably getting to the point where we should spoiler tag this stuff.

Or, how about we agree to disagree before it escalates any further.

Sounds like a plan.

One of the best things about going to an R rated movie is that I'm not annoyed by babies and small children. Like when I went to see Age of Ultron this summer and there were these two ucking kids that wouldn't shut up. I wanted to punt the little fuckers into the wall.

They didn't. My grandmother died in her fifties because she was fucked over in terms of luck and got a body that felt like shutting down on her. Particularly her heart. My uncle on my dad's side that I never got to know died of leukemia in his mid twenties. Again due to poor luck. None of my dad's grandparents lived past ttheir sixties despite eating relatively healthy. So feel free to shut the fuck up about shitty food killing me please? Pretty please with shit sprinkles on top?

Manga I've recently read and really liked are Adekan and Koe no Katachi.

Adekan is set in that fun period of Japanese history I can't remember the name of, is creepy and drawn so beautifully YOUR EYES WILL BLEED OF JOY. It has a trappy MC and eyecandy for almost every taste (in bishonen and bishoujo, that is). Would recommend for the art alone.

Koe no Katachi I believe is quite famous, and it made me genuinely tear up many times. The less is said about the story the better as that way you'll go through the emotional rollercoaster properly and your opinions of the characters will change. Definitely recommend for a realistic feeltrip.

Also I read Trinity Blood when I catch the time. Not the best manga out there but has a cool concept and some genuinely tight plot developments here and there. Also the art is a dream. Would recommend only if you're into stuff like that.

Also forgot Nozoki Ana in the porn with plot department.

Well its your decision, but it would be cool to hear your impression of whats left of it xD

Sounds nice, is it the architecture or the general atmosphere? Ive never been to rome, only the general area around the garda lake; Verona, Venice, and Lemona. Though Verona does have a smaller colosseum/amphitheather so that was nice.

You cant compare the Pantheon to some random Theather man
i doubt when Nero designed it he factored in how well it'll hold up to 2000 years of wear and tear without anyone really taking care of maintaining it.

[Snow]

The dome of the Pantheon is concrete. I always though that was amazing, especially since it held up so well despite having a literal hole in its center.

I'd also recommend a few baroque pieces, imo Italy had the best approach to baroque (not kitschy and actually quite striking and beautiful). Borromini's San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane and Bernini's Fountain of Four Rivers are pretty great.

Oh, no, please list them off too.
Bernini/Maderno and Borromini worked on it in 1626.-1632.

In 1625. pope Urban VIII. Barberini ordered for the bronze reliefs above the entrance to be taken off and melted to make the St Peter's Baldachin and the cannons of Castel Sant'Angelo - 'Quod non fecerunt barbari fecerunt Barberini', loosely translated as 'Barberini did what the barbarians didn't'. He later added two belltowers to it.

Both the Pantheon and the square were restored to near-original state in the 18th and 19th century by the same gang that did a lot of other notable Roman restorations (Vanvitelli, Valadier, Camporese...).

Those are the notable ones, at least.

You dont need to be a Nero-fanboy to be interested in the Domus Aurea. Nero may have sucked hard at some art forms he considered himself good at, but he was legitimately a genius architect, and the Domus Aureus revolutionized the roman architecture, helping it to break away from its hellenistic roots and embracing more curving and accurate forms. It was also the first building to incorporate groin vaults and vault haunch clerestory windows.



The frescoes, too, inspired many a famous artist during their rediscovery during the renaissance.

Break, you can justify it all you want, but because it's you I'm just going to have the mental image of a German tourist in Rome shouting "Nero-chan is my waifuuuuuuu!!!" As you are barred from entry. Followed by you either busting in anyway and being crushed by falling rubble or you staying outside and crying into a Nero t-shirt that you probably have.

It was also the first building to incorporate groin vaults

The first groin vault in Europe was, however, constructed in Delphi by King Attalos I of Pergamon sometime between 241 and 197 BC, quite possibly in 223 BC.

Dont underestimate me, i've played the ancient Indiana Jones 2D game back on the amiga and the whole Uncharted series on the ps3, im ready to bust through any ancient temple or museum!

[just Beamu]

The only cure for this boredom is episodes from the Troughton era of Doctor Who.

Oh, guess my info was outdated then.

Still, the rotating banquet hall is pretty dammn amazing and i cant think of any ancient architecture rivaling it, even though we only found the remains of it.

I mean, the hanging gardens maybe, but we never found anything that couldve been the hanging gardens soooo....

[Snow]

Herod the Great was a talented architect too. Maybe they'd be happier people if they just let them do their thing.

Yeah the rotating hall is pretty out there I must admit.

No

True enough, many Rulers wouldve probably been better off just doing what they were actually good at instead of growing up in the cruel world of politics. Especially the roman ones.

[Snow]

I find some RP ok as a mental exercise.

[I3uster]

its good and fun for every one

[just Beamu]

I have a strange fondness for obviously outdated and low budget effects from old Sci Fi series. Especially episodes of Doctor Who from the 60s. Or at least the ones that weren't destroyed to recycle film.

I think it was after he got the part.

Though I can't say for sure.

[Lonely Indian]

It could be fun if it starts to have real life repercussions like, MC decides to neglect family and descend into downward spiral of farming and mining for ascension material and quartz.

Days go by and MC is still holed up in his room forever rolling for his waifu/husbando and never getting. MC parents no longer fund his addiction and his friends have turned into loan sharks.

With no funds he turns to a life of crime. Starting low in the syndicate and becomes the top rookie. Getting new people hooked and dependant on drugs and destroying families to retrieve loans on due dates.

With time he becomes the new drug lord. Infamous and untouchable, yet still no waifu/husbando.

[GhostDIGIT]

write a GO fanfic

I wrote a short snippet of Nero (originally Mordred) eating roasted peanuts on a plane.

Imagine my surprise when it turns out in canon she actually likes peanuts--had no idea, I just thought Nero looked like the type who'd enjoy a good nut.

What I'm getting at is I can salvage that and create a Fate GO fic based off it.

Ooh, that's a hard one. I'd be hard pressed between John Pertwee and Christopher Eccleston.

Though special mention goes to Colin Baker. While most of his TV episodes had terrible scripts, his audio work in Big Finish was. Fantastic. I literally cried at the end of "The Wrong Doctors". T_T

Mel is dying and the Doctor asks is there is anything he can do.
Mel: "I always did like that rainbow coat you had.
Doctor: "Then I shall wear it again...for you".

Just port the entire GO system onto a pbp RP except increase all the drop rates by like a thousand.

I never saw enough of the First or Third to get a good impression of them. I loved the Second, Fourth, and Fifth. Didn't care for the Sixth but enjoyed the Seventh. Couldn't judged the Eighth due to not having heard any of his work from Big Finish and not having enough to go on from outside that. Loved the Ninth and Tenth, the Eleventh less so. I haven't seen all of Capardi's episodes but I like what I have seen so far.

In extra RP you get the private room moments and secret gardens. (And a tsundere Archer and Gil :D)

In GO RP you get to cry you cant read moonrunes and fight your way to learn back story and deal with having a harem of just berserkers. Cuz lets face it, if there is ever a time there needs to be an emergency sex mana exchange ritual with fully ascended Lu Bu or Herks, MC pelvis is gonna become fine powder and your gonna need the grail for a replacement ;_;
