| Topic | What's your rarest Trophy / Achievement? |
| PerseusRad 11/11/21 11:55:42 AM #25 | Enjoy Your Stay in GTAV, a bit under 5% have it. I think thats just doing a bunch of stuff online, that most people cant be bothered to do. Although this doesnt include Steam achievements, I assumed this topic was just for console. --- |
| Topic | If you won the powerball lottery what is your dream car that you would buy? |
| PerseusRad 11/11/21 11:03:21 AM #35 | Id probably buy whatever and then wait until Self-Driving car technology is considered very reliable. --- |
| Topic | Why are a large number of users here buying the new Pokemon remakes? |
| PerseusRad 11/11/21 10:30:51 AM #2 | Because a lot of people dont have nearly as high standards as they claim. They dont buy EA stuff because they already dont. Im quite sure this isnt just a Nintendo thing. --- |
| Topic | Have you ever witnessed a public firing? |
| PerseusRad 11/11/21 8:45:48 AM #3 | Nah, Ive only seen people get mad and walk out. Im pretty sure they always kept their job anyway. --- |

| Topic | Package delivered to and signed for by someone I don't know |
| PerseusRad 11/10/21 3:12:32 PM #1 | >_> Hopefully theyre a neighbor or something and just left it there. I dont know the neighbors in the area Im at. Considering how my last package they didnt deliver at all until I went through a whole process, Im a bit tilted. --- |
| Topic | If you won a huge powerball jackpot would it solve all your problems? |
| PerseusRad 11/10/21 9:19:07 AM #2 | Pretty much. Though it depends on what huge is. Something even kinda big is probably enough. --- |

| PerseusRad 11/10/21 1:26:22 AM #37 | PerseusRad posted... Added 1817 words, for a total of 10686. So often I write until after midnight. I bet if I actually write and finish early, I'll be happily surprised at how close I am to being on track.+2009 words, I'm now at 12695. I got over an awkward hump (that I'll definitely need to make major revisions to) and managed to start writing something I actually wanted to. It's probably a bit out of sync with how the story has gone so far, but that's probably not a bad thing, considering how iffy a lot of what I've written is. It actually feels like there's a bit of decent characterization there. Something sorely needed in the rest of what I've written. --- |
| Topic | Should they still teach cursive in schools? |
| PerseusRad 11/09/21 6:39:34 PM #8 | Its not like they even spent long on it when they taught it, at least not that I can recall. It wasnt important enough that it took, I only remember a few of the simplest letters. Maybe try and get people to know how to sign their names, and thats about it. --- |
| Topic | Hippowdon is underrated |
| PerseusRad 11/09/21 10:30:21 AM #4 | Theyre alright. Its got some major color differences between gender, it always felt random why they were like that. But I guess that gen also introduced Shellos, with the whole East/West thing. --- |

If I can accept that my first draft is gonna have poor pacing, poor description, awkward dialogue, maybe bad everything, then I can accept that I'll often be behind.

| Topic | Everyone: I don't use Wakka, he's weak. |
| PerseusRad 11/06/21 5:49:37 PM #24 | Irony posted... At the end everyone has the same stats anyways and the only important thing is overdrives.Im aware, but casual players arent super likely to do all that. Just in general, he has super high strength as you play through the story, so hes never really weak I think. --- |

| Topic | The people who voted in the poll "I can quit video games anytime" |
| PerseusRad 11/05/21 5:34:30 PM #2 | There are often multiple days in a row I dont game. If I had some incentive to, I might. But I dont, so I wont. --- |

| PerseusRad 11/05/21 1:01:00 PM #12 | I just got an update that my package was delivered wtf. What is happening. --- |
| Topic | Is it bad that I haven't seen Neon Genesis Evangelion? |
| PerseusRad 11/05/21 10:43:01 AM #10 | I watched it maybe a year or two ago. It was pretty good. Id say it + EoE arent too much of a time investment. And then there are more movies if youre interested. --- |

| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 11/04/21 12:08:01 PM #11 | Okay I might be safe >_>. Got called back by the Post Office, they said they had the package, and confirmed they would deliver it on the 6th. God I hate this. --- |

I say Day 3, but I kinda slept a lot, so it's basically Day 4. But I'll be writing later hopefully, so I'm on schedule pretty much. It's already very evident I'll have to change stuff, I should probably jot some notes down. --- |
| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 11/03/21 5:31:20 PM #10 | Now its saying me redelivery is cancelled and I have to reschedule, but Im not able to. They took up the pink slip, so are they gonna show up Saturday or not? Its so hard to reach an actual person --- |

| PerseusRad 11/03/21 1:41:49 AM #20 | PerseusRad posted... Oh so theres a topic for this. I didnt feel comfortable making one because Im unlikely to share much in terms of details, unless my confidence grows as the month goes on. I'm at ~3500 words.

| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 11/02/21 10:00:47 PM #9 | Man Im nervous because the best day to get it redelivered is also the last day before it would get sent back to the sender. I guess Ill call my post office tomorrow and see whats what. Id have liked to get it tomorrow, but I might have to sign, in which case Saturday is the only possible day. If it wasnt a limited thing, it might not be too worrisome, but its pretty bad. --- |
| Topic | $10 million or 4 hours of sleep is optimal for you |
| PerseusRad 11/02/21 6:22:33 PM #2 | While needing half the sleep is great, you probably wouldn't have to work anymore with that money, if you were careful with it. I'd say the extra 8 hours from that beats out sleep, which a lot of people like anyway. --- |

| PerseusRad 11/02/21 4:16:09 PM #18 | Oh so theres a topic for this. I didnt feel comfortable making one because Im unlikely to share much in terms of details, unless my confidence grows as the month goes on. Day 1 (and a bit after midnight): 1756 words (I think). The prologue is still going on. --- |
| Topic | What would a CE novel be about? |
| PerseusRad 11/02/21 3:39:40 PM #16 | MedeaLysistrata posted... Also, how do you not project your own life and prejudices onto people? That's what sucks about writingId argue its fine to do so, simply try to mask it. Thats probably easier said than done, Ill admit. You could consider what you would do, say, or think in a particular situation, if you were that person. --- |
| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 11/02/21 3:11:34 PM #8 | Well I wasnt home so the delivery failed ._. Im still not home, but I guess therell be a slip for me to fill out for delivery? Otherwise its not like Ill ever be home at the right time to pick it up. --- |
| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 11/02/21 10:16:28 AM #7 | Oh the delivery got pushed up to today, was expecting tomorrow. Will probably be there when I get home. --- |
| Topic | Am I a "soulless" person? |
| PerseusRad 11/02/21 9:10:18 AM #4 | Some people just dont enjoy that stuff. Other can shame you and all for it, but its just how it is for some people. If you can find enjoyment from somewhere, you probably arent soulless. --- |
| Topic | I just watched a one and a half documentary about a competitive Melee player |
| PerseusRad 11/02/21 8:40:16 AM #2 | PPMD definitely appears healthier. Hes still not competing, but compared to a year or maybe more ago, where he was barely showing up at all, hes doing well. He streams fairly consistently iirc, everything except competing. --- |
| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 11/01/21 7:41:28 PM #6 | Seems like the updates are consistent now. Guess it just wasnt being looked at for a whole. --- |
| Topic | Your child joins the military. Are you proud? |
| PerseusRad 11/01/21 3:20:53 PM #2 | Proud, not particularly. Id probably accept it. Id probably try to encourage them to take classes due to military benefits. Even if I had to say it could further your career in the military. --- |
| Topic | Ugh, it's time to start studying for my CPA, enough putting it off. |
| PerseusRad 11/01/21 11:36:58 AM #3 | I have no idea if Ill ever go for it. I really dont care to be in Public, but a CPA is still good to have. My job is mostly unrelated to Accounting right now, but I should be able to transition fairly easily. --- |
| Topic | ITT: Drawing progress Part 2 |
| PerseusRad 11/01/21 1:10:48 AM #231 |  Day 31: Risk I'll go ahead and say I had another idea for Risk and actually worked on it for a decent while... but maybe it was too risky for GameFAQs. Which was the point, but I felt there were too many adjustments to make, so I went for something different. I'm not sure if I really improved participating in Inktober, but it was nice to actually complete it. I've tried it before, but always lost steam. I haven't been drawing super long, relatively speaking, but long enough that I should probably be better than I am if I really focused on practicing. It was nice to do something like this, and stay mostly consistent. As Seph said, I might not have been able to keep up with it without this topic, or as history would show, I definitely wouldn't. I've also really enjoyed seeing how everyone took each prompt, it's really interesting. Off topic, but NaNoWriMo is now here. It's nothing I ever attempted, because it just seemed like a lot. And maybe it still is. But I suppose if I managed to do this, then I don't see why I couldn't do the other? Haven't planned much of anything, but if I don't try, I won't get anywhere. It's sort of appropriate my last drawing is a comic, the intermediary between art and writing. --- |
| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 10/31/21 12:34:35 PM #5 | Got an update on the first package. Should arrive Wednesday. Noumas posted... I especially hate it if I'm gonna be busy and won't have time to deal with it if it doesn't arrive exactly at the time I set aside for itIll just hope theyll leave it at the door. This neighborhood is alright so there shouldnt be to much risk. --- |
| Topic | ITT: Drawing progress Part 2 |
| PerseusRad 10/31/21 12:36:27 AM #226 |  Day 30: Slither I feel like I got tilted by the snake's shape, I'm sure I could've done it better. Not to mention it could've been far more dynamic. I guess I just didn't want to fully copy/reference, but that led me to go the simplest route possible. --- |
| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 10/30/21 2:05:57 PM #3 | Well one package made it to the forwarding company, but the other still has nothing to say. Itll probably be fine but it just tilts me. --- |
| Topic | ITT: Drawing progress Part 2 |
| PerseusRad 10/30/21 1:21:28 AM #220 |  Day 29: Patch Patch (of grass). I added the orange filter (gradient) right at the end. I think it probably improved it, it's kind of a shortcut for shading though. I feel like it can also cover smaller mistakes, which I suppose is a good and bad thing. By the way I had to resize this like 15 times to get GameFAQs to accept it, even though on my end it said it was decently below 4GB. --- |
| Topic | I have a part time job interview at gamestop at 4:30. Advice? |
| PerseusRad 10/29/21 1:11:44 PM #2 | You almost definitely dont need to go suit for something like GameStop. Business Casual is fine. --- |
| Topic | I hate the feeling of getting no updates when you order something |
| PerseusRad 10/29/21 9:55:05 AM #2 | Now I have two packages in limbo, and the weekend is pretty much here. Pain. --- |

| Topic | ITT: Drawing progress Part 2 |
| PerseusRad 10/28/21 11:25:19 PM #216 |  Day 28: Crispy I actually kinda like the coloring of the fire, but I'm dissatisfied with pretty much everything else. I barely know how to do shading, so weird lighting due to the fire felt like too much, so I just didn't bother shading at all, pretty much. Not sure the expression is what I was going for originally, I couldn't get it to fit the face right, so I ended up with that. Couldn't think of a good background that wouldn't just with the fire, rather than complementing it. I think the whole lighting thing was part of that as well. In retrospect I have a few more ideas. Circle or just custom gradient, perhaps. --- |
| Topic | I asked my coworker if he can come in 2 hours early, he said yes |
| PerseusRad 10/28/21 3:05:57 PM #27 | I dont get the pats on the back for the guy. If he just didnt respond or said no, its not like he wouldve been in trouble. Its a jerk move to say yes and then not show up. Worse than just saying no. --- |
