I have no idea what you're saying there. Is 5x5 easy? Is it just the math or does it mean something else? Do you know the answer and it keeps asking you it or are you telling it not to give you that any more and it's not listening or what? :I

I decided today, "hey, Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies sounds fun, why don't I get it?" Having heard that the game wasn't exactly deserving of its M rating but being a minor, I figured I'd be able to purchase it with little to no issue.

Then I found out about Nintendo's lovely eShop censor that forbids anybody under the "requisite age" for a game (i.e. 17 for M) from viewing the details of, let alone purchasing, said game.

Dammit, Nintendo, why are you keeping my lawyers away from me?

No rage thread, so this'll have to do:

Rediscovered our Brain Training game(?) a few days ago. EVERY fucking brain age check has the memorise 5x5. The one thing EVERYBODY I've talked to has had major trouble with. My brother never fucking gets it. Me? '5x5! Oh, end? OK. 5x5 again! You want to restart? 5x5 AGAIN! Why are you not wanting to do this thing we expect you to be amazing at that is terribly hard to do? 5x5 again! Christ, just do it already! I know we have alternatives, but we want you to do this one as much as you hate it!'

Please don't bring rages into the other emotion threads. Let's try to keep this thread from being banned, eh?

I wonder if I'll regret what I do in the best five years

Is it just me, or is everyone on the face of the planet having a crap semester this spring? Most of my friends and even some of my profs are fed up...

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I have never had a good spring semester. Fall is always pretty good, but spring sucks and is only good for warmth.

Might just be my job adding to this semester's stress, but i'm ready for class to be over.

Yeah...I dunno, last spring I was able to keep together. I'll save this one academically, at least, but I'm really just waiting for September to hurry up and get here already so I can go to Russia and do something interesting. The only academic-like task I can really get myself to do is languages. The remaining time in the semester is too short to find a new social group or try dating someone- I have 4 weeks of real class, then dead week, then finals.

Yes.

All anecdotes I can supply suggest that the answer is yes. Why did I do this to myself

39 days until my last final. 150 or so until I fly to Russia. Gonna have to get a job or two this summer to keep my occupied in between getting my Russian up to speed...

Yes.

Me too!
Though its more me and somehow my memory can't recall the exact thing on the exam...time...proper when I can recall it ANY OTHER TIME, EVER. Without glancing at the reviewed notes. :/
>_> Like now.

Bluhh.

That's why you should always misreport your age. ALWAYS!

[Orange Wizard]

I think my age used to be -1337 on this forum.

Ignorant people in general make me sad, especially people who think that the Internet is only good for Facebook and mindless entertainment. You have access to nearly the entirety of human knowledge because you can beam information to a manmade construction in orbit above Earth. That alone is pretty freaking cool IMO. It is the greatest tool for scientific collaboration and every medium for art (movies, text, images, etc.) blended into one. Lonely people can form friendships that last a lifetime with total strangers because they were shoved together in an MMORPG. Services like Google Translate let people from different countries talk to eachother, and while it doesn't always work perfectly we're still better off for its existence.

As somebody who feels that digital technology (especially the Internet) is potentially the greatest force for good that has existed in the history of mankind, it's astounding how blind some people can be to its power. I literally learned (very basic) rocket science because I downloaded a videogame on a whim. The possibilities are literally endless. And there are still people who think that we're better off without it. To me, that idea is like the paradox that destroys a supercomputer in an old science fiction serial; it's a thought so utterly confounding that I can't tear myself away from it. And it makes me very sad.
