It would be amazing to learn piano. That is, to be so good I could improv the tones of my heart.

While I took lessons early in my childhood, I had to stop--though I learned how to read notes. I'm inspired by one of my extended family members who plays purely by hearing (or as how he told me the story of how he learned, he memorized the tones and started playing that way). As far as I know, it's amazing to learn piano in many, many ways. Only thing it takes is dedication and consistent practice

_{...I play the piano when nobody is at home so nobody but me can hear my mistakes .-. I'm so shy.}

Spoiler: this really could be in WTF thread, but it's just so hilarious (click to show/hide)

Before I get to the nitty-gritty I'd like to make it clear that many of you are initially going to find some of these algorithms difficult to understand. In fact I think graph search algorithms should come with a health warning. Something like the following would be appropriate:

 Warning  Beware! Search algorithms have the ability to create in the average human brain terrible amounts of frustration and confusion, leading to headaches, nausea, and sleep deprivation. Spontaneous and excessive howling is not uncommon. Please be aware these symptoms are commonplace in the early stages of the learning curve and are not generally cause for concern. Normal service is usually resumed within a reasonable length of time. (If symptoms persist, however, stay clear of busy roads, razor blades, and loaded weapons. Seek medical advice at the earliest opportunity.)

And, sadly, a regularly tuned piano.

Oh, wow that is really cool. Also, I wonder just how true to life those molotovs were. Honestly, it looked like they were pretty useless if you can just sidestep a foot or two and resist the flames, they went out pretty fast.

You should add some oil, aluminium and magnium powder, also some salt of Na, K or other metal which produces enough heat to start a fire, when it contacts the water.
Then your molotovs will be more !fun!

I think the heart palpitations are done now. Good lord, it has been a shitty 20 hours or so.

I got my driver's license yesterday. That was nice.

I've seen quite a few riots over the last years and some of them had molotovs. I suppose the size of the bottle might affect things, but the area of effects tends to be a tad larger and less of a straight line of flame.

This is from 2014. Skip to about 1:30 if you only care about the molotov.

Actually heed that warning, seriously. Howling is something I have legitimately done at my own badly-implemented search algorithms.

I thought I was done with RESIDENT EVIL 5: MERCENARIES forever after my several months binge during Trade School, but I finally caved and bought it plus the DLC on Steam in order to coop with a friend, and BOY JESUS was I WRONG WRONG WRONG. You see, they added a special new piece of content exclusive to the PC version that I never knew about: No Mercy Mode.

I'm not sure if everyone can relate, but have you ever been so happy and excited you were shaking and quivering? That's how I am right now after just two rounds of No Mercy. Just huge throngs of Majinis, literally pouring in through every spawn point faster than I can kill them. Usually traveling around the map to collect the time bonuses is no problem, but here I barely have room to breath with how quickly and intensely I'm surrounded. Minibosses are spawning in twos and threes and it's everything I can do just to hold them back. Everything is so frantic and action packed! This is the best, the literal best.

Thank you so much Capcom, I was wrong for wondering why the Steam Sales for RE5 were always so shitty. My only gripe is that it's singleplayer only, I would LOVE to coop this shit. It's simply SO GOOD.

EDIT: OH, and you can't NO MERCY on Reunion? That's just a crime, a GODDAMN CRIME. We need a war tribunal for this level of crime, that's fucking 7 Stars in GTA levels of crime, how can you be so utterly savage and cruel Capcom? Heavy Metal Chris will never feel the TRUE JOY of mowing down a LITERALLY ENDLESS supply of Majinis, and it's all your fault. Just completely indignant over here, you'll never know the depth of my disappointment CAPCOM, and that's a damn tragedy.

I'm fond of this. This is stupid, but I like it.

Somehow I knew roughly what this was going to be before I clicked it.

I think we've reached a point where people either like Undertale, or they dislike it because they haven't played it and all the people who have won't shut the hell up about it.

In general I get sick of games that get widespread attention and appeal and their own set of memes for no particular reason.  Minecraft and the Five Nights at Freddy's games are other offenders.

You can put me in the latter category.

To be fair though, they've all done something fairly unusual (not necessarily unique) for their time. Minecraft started the whole block-craze, FNAF performed spoopage in a new and surprisingly effective manner (and is actually rather unsettling in between the jumpscares, which themselves are used much better than most other games would), and Undertale... It's just really hard to describe exactly what it does, but it's quite an experience. Well, it was for me, anyways. :v

In happy news, i am pleasantly surprised at how easy it actually is to rip my delicious mettul albums on to my computer. Takes some time, sure, but the quality is A++ grate would listen again. On top of that, i had almost forgotten how oddly nice CDs and their cases are to handle, thanks to services like Steam. What i DON'T miss is the noise of the CD drive, though.
