Wow. I think that was the first non-ironic post I've seen LW make in a while, and it's a genuinely touching one as well.
Sorry for your loss, man.

Haha thanks Helgo, that cheered me up quite a bit

As someone who deals with rotten potatoes daily, I feel confident stating that this is both an epic method of vengeance and a horribly evil thing to do.

Seems like a waste of miracle potato though

Please make sure that surprise potato is an actual potato and not an elaborate attempt to murder you by way of Deadly Nightshade if you plan on eating it, though.

I hope I don't get macbethed

Then they start having issues. They become set in their ways, and start finding ways to "cut corners", which results in the quality of work declining. They're still better than someone without an education or that's brand new to the job, but they're not as good as someone that's in their prime.

This sounds like me, except instead of 5-10 years, it's 3-4 months, and instead of being about skilled work, it applies to everything I do.

And that's why I have two unfinished games sitting in gamemaker eternally (that, and I suck at shading and perspective (which is important for sprite making))

I don't know why a potato is making you are so sad, I've been taking care of a potato plant for a while now that otherwise might've been consumed, I don't see what the big deal about potatoes is.

[TheBiggerFish]

It's not the potato, it's the pitcher plant someone killed that the surprise potato was barely salvaged from.

*hugs LW*

That's the first serious post I've seen you make.  I'm incredibly sorry for your loss.

[Paxiecrunchle]

Why would someone kill a pitcher plant? They aren't a threat to anything larger than a mouse!

[TheBiggerFish]

Because they're an asshat?

[ChairmanPoo]

LW, I'd have mistrusted from the argument onwards. You might have better luck with a non gardener...

[scourge728]

You would probably have better luck with a mouse, at least it would have given it food and not moved it

I've quit my part time job to focus more on school and developing programming skills for my supposedly eventual career of...some kind of programming thing.

I spent most of my first day of being unemployed (again) by reading books, playing games, and browsing the internet. Complete waste of time.

 Some of the information you pick up in those books and on the Internet might occasionally be helpful! It's not a complete waste!

It is quite possible--overwhelmingly probable, one might guess--that we will always learn more about human life and personality from novels than from scientific psychology

I had a very strong crying spell this morning. I was looking at RWBY content on Tumblr and I had a very sudden wave of overwhelming longing to go back in time 3 years. I wanted to see Monty Oum alive and well again. I wanted to see his version of RWBY so badly. I started crying for him. Crying for the man who has occupied my every thought since he died.

I still need closure, but I don't think I will ever find it.

Why I was (figuratively) beating my head against my drawing distaster, a pot of milk on the stove was slowly becoming charcoal.

This should be in the fear thread. There's no cookimg task I am as hesitant to do as boiling milk. Fucking always screws up.
