  1. I have to keep it up every so often to stay good, so it's often times a work in progress for me. Luckily for me, nobody's seeing my bare legs right now, so I can take my time by starting the arms and chest, and having to do the legs too in one time consuming session isn't needed. That's the only way I can shave my body at all, because I've got quite a bit of hair otherwise.

  2. You don't have to strain yourself to explain things. If you can't do much at the moment, don't worry.

    The important part is providing the album. I think I want to start with three albums for a week and kick it off now, to just see how it goes.

    Anyone have an idea for a good wavelength time, like Friday or Saturday night?

  3. Okay here are some guesses:

    Hector can handle Armads, an axe that I would surmise weighs anywhere from 50-80 lbs., accounting for his armor, body type, and build, he can probably bench 450-500 lbs., maybe 550. He probably weighs ~220-230 lbs. himself.

    Ike clearly works out, but given his combination of agility and strength, he probably does strength / endurance training for his muscles. He probably is an ultra-lean 200 lbs., and he could max at 350 lbs. or so, but I'd bet he can do 12 reps at that weight.

    Gatrie is my bet for FE powerlifting champ at 700-800 lbs. bench press. Gatrie's like 260-270 lbs. of muscle.

  4. Run The Jewels - Run the Jewels II

    RunTheJewelsRTJ2.jpg

    This album's essentially one big collaboration between the two rappers featured in the album, you'll hear them referred to as Mike and LP. It's pretty intense as far as rap goes, though unlike other hardcore hip hop acts, stylistically it stays truer to the roots of hip hop forgotten by groups like clipping., and to a larger extent, Death Grips. Gangsta Boo and Zach De La Rocha are notable features on this record.

  5. But if Hitler didn't kill himself because he was related to Jews, he's still just as evil as if he did. Even if you can make up anything about Hitler and have people believe it, that doesn't mean that he's any less evil.

    I'd like to take this time to reiterate that I said earlier, I in no way would diminish his actions, I was simply making a somewhat humorous observation.

  6. I've been thinking a lot about doing this again, even before I returned to these forums, because of how awesome our music club was last time.

    I probably found one of my favorite groups from some guy who shared an unknown group's bandcamp ~3-5 years ago, so I'd like to return the favor to the other users of this fine forum, in a fun group that I lovingly call "The Music Geeks Club".

    Overview

    Because this may be a long post, I'll underline the most important stuff for you

    ===============================================================================

    Here's how it works:

    https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Y0ogZKuFPXhDZBKq0MmtIEtc4WANSrR8ZIOh02Euspo/viewform?usp=send_form

    Submitting an album

    Step 1: Submit your album to that link above

    Step 2: Post in the thread to introduce the album to other users

    Step 3: Wait patiently for your turn

    Note: If you have already had a suggestion looked at by the club, I will adjust your priority on future suggestions so everyone gets an opportunity to share. This does not mean you'll never get a chance to share again!

    No album? No problem!

    Since the last thread, I've discovered a website that will make it a lot easier for us to listen to music; similar to that of plug.dj

    http://wavelength.fm/SerenesForest

    You may upload files to this website, and it will play them, it works similarly to plug.dj (IT IS NOT A FILESHARING SITE, YOU CANNOT SIMPLY DOWNLOAD THE MUSIC). Please also note that this site may not play nicely with your browser, I suggest trying a different browser in the event this happens (I was using Pale Moon initially, but I had to switch to Chrome)

    Once things get off the ground, we can start scheduling group listening times.

    I have a volafile linked in the Google Form, but that's as far as I'm willing to go, in the way of actually sharing music. That should have all of our bases covered as far as being able to actually listen to the albums. Youtube and Spotify ought to be helpful as well (though I really would rather not use YT for music).

    Listener's Guide

    This is the entire point of the club:

    Share your opinions of the albums which people took time to share.

    People are bound to have different taste, so some degree of respect is expected, after all, these folks cared enough to share their music with you. On the other hand, speak your mind with regards to the music itself. Be as brief, or long as you desire. If you don't have time to give a page-long response, simply a sentence or two will do. This whole group won't be kept alive by me, it's going to happen because of YOU. Listening and participating in music discussion is the most important part of the group. Share your music, and then please stick around to give other people the same courtesy given to you. If you get nothing else from what I'm saying, please remember this.

    Rules

    1. Submissions are first come, first serve (generally)

    2. Please let people know if content of an album is objectionable, album art is NSFW, etc.

    3. When posting an album intro in thread, include album art if possible and try to include some info on the album's genre / style (be brief)

    4. Durng group listening, only the sharer is allowed to touch the controls of the wavelength room

    Okay, now that the wall of text is done, anyone have thoughts for ways to improve ANYTHING here?

  7. I'm shocked to see two votes for Shadow Dragon, as I wouldn't define underrated as "good game, but relatively bad", like that.

    Thracia is my vote because I know plenty of FE fans who haven't played it. Sure, the game's hard, but it's almost as advanced as Radiant Dawn in terms of game system, and the scenarios for each map are excellently designed. Shame we can't say the same for the translation.

    I can also concievably see someone going Gaiden, in hindsight, the changes from FE1 to Gaiden were incredible, and that seems to be FE game that gets the least attention overall.

  8. I'm with you on that, this is something where most of the time you SHOULD TRY to move on, but it's not like that's pretty simple to do. As far as I'm concerned, it was a godsend to be in the situation I'm in, being about 5-6 months out from going to MCRD San Diego, so I really have a lot of leeway to forget about girls right now. I've still got feelings for one girl, but at the same time, I'm blessed with the ability of just not caring too much about what happens, and it helps me loosen up. At the end of the day, that's the quickest change you can make for the better, is just loosening up about your situation.

  9. I second this statement. On a slightly related note, I've heard that sometimes talking to someone that doesn't know you very well about your problems can feel better than telling them to someone you've known for a very long time. The reason's supposed to be that they haven't built up expectations of you over a long period of time like those that are close to you.

    Just wanted to throw in my really general two cents in since I'm nowhere near qualified to give any specific advice. Sorry if it's completely unhelpful.

    This can be true to an extent, but after a while the usefulness of talking things out withers away. Be wary that sometimes, there is such a thing as talking about your problem too much. Also, it's easy to wear out friends with such talk. Eventually they will grow more and more blunt, or cynical.

  10. Oh my god, we had this exact same conversation in this thread version 1. And it was just as false then. Here, I'll show you: Hitler was a Pokemon Master. Did you believe that?

    If you're going to be nitpicky about language, then yes, I'll give you that. I have heard baseless claims about Hitler in school, like the reason he killed himself was because he was related to Jews to name one thing, that no sort of fact was provided to back it up, at all; you can't back up a claim like that. I know there were many classmates who believed it.

  11. I personally hate vapes, I hate smoking, but at the same time, I feel like we live in a hypocritical time where we're voting to restrict the hell out of cigarettes, but marijuana legislation is all about legalization. I'm well aware it's coming into legality under restriction, but my opinion is really hazy when the same people at the local college are both proposing to ban smoking from campus entirely and then are, as they have been in my state, the biggest pro-blaze it insufferable fools you've seen. For the record, I live in Alaska.

    Going back to cigs, I think that the laws we currently have are decent, at least where I live. It's also the crowds I run with, I have a few friends who smoke cigars and cigarettes, but when I'm with them I generally try to ask that they respect my requests to not breathe the smoke, and it works out alright.

    I'm pretty bad at this, anyone have experiences where they're unhappy?
