Just watched TTGL again, and this time I actually cried during the AU episode, because fuck me this show has a retarded amount of feels for a giant mecha anime.

Caught a small lizard in the kitchen sink, which is wierd, since this is an apartment on the sixth floor. Still, he's a cool looking little bastard, don't really know what to do with him or anything but I'm gessing he's going into the wild tommorrow.

(The wild being some greenery that's growing around the buildings)

Just defeated Viy, got few items and bunch of ROMs.

Goddamn, every thing got in La-Mulana makes me happy. That game is hard at points!

That reminds me... whenever he points out the importance of self-reflection when discussing others with ideologies that clash with his own, my anthropology professor likes to say "Just who the hell do I think I am?!". The orange-red tinted glasses and the intense expression on his face keeps reminding me of TTGL.

Has he seen it? Because you must tell him to watch it. Even going beyond just getting the reference TTGL is probably one of the best anime's I've ever seen. And show that can have an essentially one dimensional bad guy come back and then feature him in a scene that literally makes me cry every time I watch it.

Viral's Au is just... Fuck me. Yoko's is bad too, but at least seeing her and Kittan almost kiss is less kick in the ballsey because Kittan died a fucking bad-ass. Viral doesn't have any of that. He dreamed of a family that he could never have, and when he realizes that it was all fake what does he do? He just looks at his family with a sad look in his eye before flying off to be the fucking bad-ass he is. Usually when I deconstruct why something is sad it stop being so but I am crying right now so obviously that doesn't work here.

I just... I just love TTGL.

Your answer awaits you here.

You linked to the wrong SCP.

Thinking about either changing my major or minoring in science education to increase marketability.  Everybody's an english education major (Think 100+ applicants for a single spot, and once a spot a teacher would actually want is filled it's not opening up any time soon), and I don't want to spend months or longer trying to find a job and ending up with a teaching job I hate or can't handle (I've heard some horror stories.  One teacher I knew in elementary school was assaulted several times a month in a rough school.)

I could always teach English as a foreign language in Asia, I've considered doing that in South Korea and I know a guy who did it in Thailand.  The pay wasn't great by American standards but lower cost of living meant he was basically rich.  Completely free, quality apartment, great food for extremely cheap.

Of course, you'd have to go across the world for several months.

Ahh geez dude i was gonna tell you that the english field has way too many people running around with a degree.

I caught a fly today with my bare hands. Looked around, no one anywhere nearby. Sighing, I prepared to release it, when I saw a water bottle. An empty water bottle. I coerced the captive fly into going into the bottle, then took the bottle to show my friend, that yes, I can catch fucking flies with my bare hands.
Then I let it go, because I sympathize with being imprisoned against your will.

Sadly that doesn't beat my sister. When she was 9 SHE CAUGHT A FLY WITH A FREAKING BENDY STRAW. HOW DO YOU EVEN GET IT INSIDE THAT MUCH BENDY STRAW??!! I'VE SEEN LOADS OF BENDY STRAWS, THEY'RE MOSTLY WHAT, 1CM IN DIAMETER? AND SHE CAUGHT IT.
WITH A BENDY STRAW.

Wait, wait. They didn't teach you that trick? It's actually pretty simple, really. It's this little thing with the wrist and the pinky. Dead easy once you've got the trick; saw one young lady in elementary school nab five in a row with the same straw. That one actually got a lil'bit of applause.

Truespeech is up. It's still in extreme alpha (it's not even functional enough to build a 20th level character yet, and what does exist is only slight more balanced than the Epic Level Handbook), but the bones of the system are formed and it's starting to get some meat on them. Link, since I think somebody mentioned wanting it. With this, I'll probably stop gushing about it in this thread because... 4(?) posts is probably enough >______>

PRE-EDIT: Oh god, I reflexively clicked Preview instead of post. Hahahaha

That would be me! I just went through making a by-the-book level 12 truenamer the other day. It took some finagling, but I finally got a character with about +60 on Truespeech checks. With Exemplar, that's a default result of 70 due to their ability to take 10 on a skill check whenever they want. That's high enough to affect monsters of CR 27.5 and below all the time or quicken a power to affect monsters of CR 17.5 and below. Not too bad for this level, but I'll have to come up with something more if this campaign gets much further. 

Seriously, when a class requires almost all of your character wealth and skill points and abilities just to be able to use its still-really-craptastic powers, there's a problem. An 80 in Escape Artist lets you crawl through a 2-inch-wide hole in a wall. A 70 in Open Lock lets you open masterwork level locks in under a second. An 80 in Swim lets you swim up a goddamn waterfall. A 70 in Truespeech lets you cast Solid Fog. (Something any 7th level wizard can do multiple times per day on a whim.)

But I still love the flavor. I'll be looking at this homebrew very carefully.

You know what it should do?

FUS RO DAH!
