It's been topping out around 98-99 for the past week here, and humidity is getting up into the 40-50% range over the last couple days.  I'm still motorcycle commuting like a boss.  My tolerance for heat has actually risen considerably over the last few years.  This kind of weather used to kill me.  Now I'm alright.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

Went to Gameworks. Went upstairs. Went back downstairs. Suddenly, cosplayers everywhere.

Cosplayers are like costume parties: Either surprising or interesting. Sometimes both.

There's a difference between cosplaying and a costume party? Sure it sounds a bit weird to be "cosplaying" as Dracula on halloween, but they're functionally identical... I think.

One of my goals in life is to talk to someone who decides to make fun of poeple cosplaying at movies, and then ask them what's the difference between that and wearing sports uniforms, jerseys, and paraphernalia at a sports game

Well, costume parties are usually easier to figure out who everyone is, since theres not always a huge amount of people if there is a group around. Any place with major cosplay going on will have far too many characters for me to recognize most of unless its something I do know.

The difference is costume parties are an excuse for attractive women to dress like sluts, whilst cosplay is an excuse for unattractive men to dress like sluts ;D

This and the quote above feels like it belongs in the OOC thread.

Sure. Just never a good one. "Why are you dressing like a slutty witch?" "Costume party." "Why are you dressing like a slutty wonder woman, despite being an overweight hairy man?" "Cosplay." "Why are you drinking that beer?" "Was sober."

Looking at the word "cosplay," it makes me wonder if roleplaying was more involved in it once upon a time. People who dress up as Zuko or Cloud are no less likely to act the part than someone who dresses up as a pirate is to say "arr" and "matey."

I say "arr" and "matey" without dressing up. Does that count?

Depends. Are you roleplaying a pirate, or are you actually a pirate with a peg leg and parrot on your shoulder?
