No. If I did so, I'd either revert to my previous form if I've consumed a power-up or I'd have to start the level over again, or from my most recent check-point.

You mean in the regard that your plans to relocate to that Disney park have been jeopardized because there is now a very real possibility that you have contracted from your mother the coronavirus, which could make Disney either postpone or terminate your tenure as a house-cleaner before it even begins.

Possibly nothing. My memory of your posts may be a bit hazy.

his relationship ended

I thought that was beneficial to him, though. I recall that he had self-esteem problems whenever in the presence of his girlfriend, and that his separation from her has allowed him the confidence to secure a better job, possibly among other things.

Are you sick of life and/or everyone around you, or something?

helly

I'm not sure that heliy uses proper capitalization and punctuation, as this fellow does.

When it happens to me, I usually attribute it to my brain subconsciously reprocessing and learning the mechanics of the game while I am taking a break from playing it. The frustration I feel might be related to how well my brain "learns" the game. A similar sort of thing happens to me when I'm struggling with schoolwork. I'm not sure if this makes me an ideal student, though, which worries me sometimes. In any case, this is my theory on the matter.

You mean like in that horror story that Jen wrote about some buffet-style restaurant?

how are you

I finally moved to a new state and got a new job to boot. I found a relatively cheap place to rent. But now, I'm worried about losing my job; management halved my hours for this week, much like how Roxas' bad mood halved his level on that day he dreamt of Sora losing his Keyblade and being abandoned by Donald and Goofy. In any case, life has been better; it's certainly improvement from the dysfunctional household I'd grown up in. I wish I had done it much sooner. But now I face the familiar crisis of finding meaning and purpose in my life --- the same crisis with which I had been struggling for many, many years. I shall not expound it for fear of reiterating myself as I have done in the past. Today, I called this department store to ask about their stock of oranges. I figuratively tripped over my words on the phone due to a combination of not having socialized in-person with anyone for such a very long time and crippling social anxiety. Now I'm afraid that I had made myself seem like a bit of a buffoon today. In spite of my feelings, I realize that ultimately, these shameful feelings do not really matter in the end.

You have to learn how to brake-slide at the appropriate moments in order to accumulate blue eco. Part of winning is luck; the other part is skill, as with all these Mario Kart-esque video games. I'd say that another large part is learning how to gain extra bursts of speed using these slide-turn maneuvers and what-not, since these seem to be a large part of these games.

Lightning McQueen

I was under the impression that you were speaking of the main protagonist of the thirteenth Final Fantasy game, actually.

I thought you were about twenty-seven.

You mean like Sora in the first Kingdom Hearts game?

Elsa is dead.

Long live Elsa.

I feel as though you are making two statements that contradict each other in order to accentuate the fact that the topic creator is doing the very same.

Far-Queue posted...

Both spellings

Would it be downright wrong to insert a hyphen in the latter?

It can be interpreted as a "house-worming" "gift" in the respect that the bloke has access to the cameras that he sent, given that he has snapped footage of a passing hare.

You mean like in that Disney movie with the half-god Greek bloke what falls in love with that woman what makes that deal with the bloke's uncle.

I feel like those Americans should have designated a Friday for that day for the pun.

fired

I mean, isn't speaking ill of one's place of employment over social media usually against employee policy anyway?

Are you asking the denizens of this board if they have ever experienced firsthand the notion of the magnitude of the change that one tries to effect in one's life being proportional to the effort required to effect that change?

No. But I did create account less than an hour before my first post, and sent my second message less than a minute after the first.

two reddit topics

No, I made two comments in one topic on a subreddit.

Adam_Savage posted...

deleted the entire account afterwards

I was shy, and felt like I wasn't comfortable using a platform with such a large community of users.

EmptySpiral posted...

the message should have told you so

The excerpt of the message stated that my messages were considered spam.

Lokarin posted...

Some subs even require you be a certain level or karma to post

That could explain it. I made the account just twenty minutes before posting my messages.

EmptySpiral posted...

they should do their job

Sorry. I meant to ask if it is the norm that they let a robot handle their job, instead of doing it themselves.

It is an improvement over the last, but the fact that it's outside the case now makes the whole setup seem incongruent. I imagine that ventilation is much improved over what it was in the previous setup. I worry, though, about the hole that the PS5 is standing nearby. If it were my flat, I'd worry about the possibility of insects crawling up through it.

Wait, so posts that violate one of the prescribed rules are handled by the auto-moderator bot? Should the moderation team not take care of them personally?

It might not have helped that I had posted the two messages in question in quick succession of each other.

I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand, I do feel confused and a bit frustrated that my posts were deleted instantly after I had posted them, and I never got to learn why, since I deleted my Reddit account before I even saw the notifications. On the other hand, I do feel relieved at the thought of no one ever having gotten to see them, since the posts in question were not very coherent or well-thought out. I would have not liked to have them attributed to my character. Moreover, I would not have felt comfortable posting them on a website with high traffic. I feel anxious thinking about letting such a large user-base see my comments. Anyway, most of all, I feel worried that my obsession over such things is an indicator that I dedicate too much of my life to the Worldwide Web. Anyway, I think I've treated this website as a Twitter account enough for one lifetime. How was your day, board?

I must have these answers.

I feel like every time you looked at it, you'd panic about one of your devices having had its casing contorted due to overheating, until you realized that you had put your Sony Playstation 5 there and that it is supposed to look like that. Is it possible to remove one of the inner shelves of the television stand in order to place your PlayStation 5 there, orienting it normal with respect to the ground?

worship

It would be flattering, I will grant that. But wouldn't the person being "worshipped" in that relationship have to constantly worry about not living up to the other person's expectations of him or her? Wouldn't the person being worshipped have to worry about being left, if said expectations are not fulfilled?

Are you referring to the shootings or the American government's collective desire to stand aside and allow them to continue?

Imagine a human race without the evils of nazism.

Imagine a human race without any evil at all.
Imagine a human race without free will, since humans are generally capable of evil only because they have free will.

Is this not just a race of robots that you can program to do what you tell them to do, to think what you tell them to think, and to feel what you tell them to feel?

I believe it is a quote from that episode of that cartoon with the yellow, anthropomorphic sponge where aforementioned sponge and his anthropomorphic starfish friend become door-to-door chocolate salesmen.

melodramatic

He also sounds self-deprecatory to a fault and seems like the sort to make himself feel bad for reasons that might not be entirely valid.

Lokarin posted...

don't wanna pay for excel

You can always just use an open-source alternative, such as Gnumeric or something from that LibreOffice suite.

You could always learn SQL. But I imagine that it is better-suited for managing high volumes of data rather than statistics that can be generated by end-users manually.

I must have these answers.

starting a family is the only real mark of a successfully lived life

That's only the case if you think it's the case. You should probably define your own metric of success, instead of either trying to abide by anyone else's or placing blind faith into the idea that there is a universal metric of success that ultimately dictates who is a failure and who isn't. Of course, these words come from someone who frequently compares himself to others, so take this as you will.

I cannot get myself to get excited for video game releases anymore. There is just too much to handle in my life right now --- although, not enough that I don't have the spare time to sit down and complain about my apathy about things that I used to enjoy.

Surely, you must drive in order to retrieve groceries? Or do you simply summon a driver to deliver them straight to your door?

that f***ing shooting

I feel like it is a bad thing that I feel compelled to ask which one you are talking about.

I think the story has something to do with his deteriorating psyche, having issues with his wife, and then becoming gender-dysphoric. That's all about I know.

My meaning was not to ask in which language the interviewers asked TC to perform a coding demonstration, but rather to ask in which programming language TC had to code. But I do appreciate the deliberate misinterpretation of my post, for the action reveals the ambiguity present within the messages that I write. I've been studying up on English grammar as of late, and this gesture, as playful and teasing as it is, has been most helpful.
