Hey, mine too!

Also, Walrus's trial. If you have a preference regarding which of the next few days on which to reconvene, it'd be advisable to declare it sooner rather than later, at this point.
Ayyyy S6 squad.
Super super sorry dude, I've got a rough set of days ahead of me, last week of Uni coming up. Next weekend I'm solid.
I mean, as much as I care about the rights and justice of our favourite and RIGHTFUL mayor of the forums, (Personally don't see why I need to make a defense, just look at those husky tusks if you want some justice), I don't think my group project members would be very happy with me.

If I picked up Enmity again


The thing that a lot of people love about the Dark Souls series is the fact that the story isn't spoon fed to you. I enjoyed Dark Souls 1 since it was a sharp game and the world was incredibly connected. Picking up pieces of armor or weapons was fascinating since each piece expanded the world.
Definitely top-tier presentation, and they made me actually want to read all the flavor texts. (Contrast Mass Effect titles - nobody's reading like 95% of the Codex, c'mon.)

Also I'm assuming you're playing on the PC. Usually, I expect a poor port to them. I've played it on my Ps4 and it felt incredibly smooth and engaging for me.
Yeah; PC, with an Xbox controller. As usual, some fans made a third-party fix. But I'm still hella disappointed that it had to come to this in twenty-fucking-seventeen; really, Bandai? Also disappointed about not getting to see how much better Dark Souls gameplay is at 144 FPS, now that I have that kind of hardware. Devs hard-capped it at 60, though. Damn shame.

Because I'm graduated, I typically get around 30-37 hours and they know that I'm consistent. I get paid well and I have benefits even though I'm part-time.
That's basically full-time hours, anyway. Varies from place to place, but I'm pretty sure the most common standard is >30 hours per week.

I'm luckily blessed with my friend group still being insanely close after high school. Every Sunday, my friend hosts us for D&D and Board Game Night. I've been working out with a friend on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We have multiple chat groups pertaining to hobbies and interests that we spam and chat up. It's just terrifying to me, knowing that one day that we'll probably split apart.
Maybe not, though. Facebook occasionally shows me that a couple of the squads I knew from high school are still besties and regularly hang, although that often involves crossing state lines for them. I suppose roughly annual get-togethers and regular messaging is how they usually handle that.

Hard deadline's been set for a long time now, though that's certainly an undeniable conflict. If Prosecutor @Tirin is willing to postpone until the 2nd or 3rd of June, then I will readily allow it. If not, however, you may want to consider transferring the case to another Attorney.

Even the character entries? Damn, son. Why.

Well in the first game I'm pretty sure they give XP, and since there's only a finite number of enemies reading the codex will give you like another level or two.

Give me some time. I'm starting up a second D&D night over the summer on a Thursday night. I want to avoid burning myself out if I can, since I'm introducing D&D to two new players.

Yeah, that sucks. Sorry to hear that, famalam.

Yeah, it's why I'm not too perturbed by it.

Oh definitely, but that's annual get-together. Meanwhile, I see my friends weekly and I work out with a few of them three times a week. But I know my two friends who want to be animators probably won't be living in Jersey, since there's no opportunities and I know that other people would move away in a heartbeat for a better job.

I fuckin' hate the town I'm in, so that alone could make our situations fundamentally different, but... what about doing what I'm doing (or at least intermittently trying to do)? Specifically, look for some temp work, out of town or otherwise, that you can hold down for another while or two until you find a grad school program that you're actually interested in.(?) You've at least got options across Canada in that regard, and shouldn't have much trouble getting papers to work in America if it comes to that. I might just be making a hasty call here, but from the sound of it, as much as you love your hometown it seems like there's... not really a future for you there, one way or another?
The economy of this entire province is fucked enough that, in effect, I cannot work here aside from in the capital, which I don't particularly want to do. I already know which grad school programs I'm interested in here, and while I'm apparently a good enough student to reach interviews, the trouble is if those interviewers get enough funding for the year to take me. While waiting a year may be a good thing, it'd basically be sitting on my thumbs or moving a few hundred kilometers with no job yet lined up. I can look into them (and probably will), but I really don't expect a lot save for jobs totally outside of my field.

If I get a job for the summer, it's most likely going to be for the early part of it, tutoring high school students in math and physics. There's bound to be pretty high demand for it, and if I can manage not to shout at them I'll make pretty solid money - not enough to save up for anything big unless I'm working a lot of hours, but enough to more than cover all of my expenses.


Ah, right. Last thing I was gonna say: I order Long Islands quite frequently when I'm out, which is also pretty frequently. This is largely due to having a regular place with a friendly bartender, who knows everyone in my regular crew and sneaks an obscene amount of extra liquor into said Long Islands for us. Even if that weren't the case, though, it's just a great drink for getting value-for-money at bars/clubs/taverns/whatever. Substantially more alcohol per dollar than just getting foul, horrible, offensive rounds of well shots, in fact, and with a lot less foulness and sensory offense if you're also self-confident enough to not care what kinda great jokes the guy with the $7 IPA makes about it.
Long Islands may not be the definition of value, but they number among one of the best expressions of it within the context of drinking.

Yeah, it's not too bad. If I picked up Enmity again, it would be a time skip.
Enmity whenmity? : ^)

It depends. Some people are happy drunks, some are flirty, some are creepy, some are sad, some are sleepy. It depends on the roll of the dice on what drunk you are. Some days I'd get drunk and question my career and life choices from minor to greater. Some days, I'd get drunk and go through a whiplash of emotions (typically Happy/Angry). It's worth doing, but I've just cut out drinking entirely from my life. I'm torn between whether I want to get wasted at an Anime Convention in two weeks or not.
I took my great break from drinking from the start of the year up until mid-February, and it wasn't actually so bad, but I really, really enjoy drinking socially. That's probably because all of the energy that I would usually use to be a dick goes to being a party animal. It might be because I only drink when I'm in situations where I'd be happy to drink, so by default I end up the happy, funloving drunk. Plus all that tolerance makes it so I damn near never lose my head, so I can play team dad/team muscle if necessary.

Jeeze, really? Gin and Tonics are typically the go-to hipster drink, mate. I used to drink them when I wanted to put on a fanciful air. The tonic water bothered me and I always felt bloated, so I skipped on them. I do love gin though. It's a good drink, but typically was cheaper and I defaulted to picking up Rum for parties so I could share.
I only started drinking gin last year, and I've gotta say I like it 'cause I find it tastes pretty good, and anything that I'd mix it with is way easier on the stomach than cola.

I'm currently working locally at a TD bank and I'm living with my parents. I probably should have done an internship, but in retrospect, I don't think Public Relations is something that I ever actually wanted to do. I probably wanted to work more in marketing. I loved the class and the teachers, but it's all centered in New York and I've heard about the meat grinder-esque firms, which isn't something I'd think I'd enjoy.

So I'm working at a TD Bank as a part-time teller five minutes away. Because I'm graduated, I typically get around 30-37 hours and they know that I'm consistent. I get paid well and I have benefits even though I'm part-time. For now, I'm just keeping my head down when drama rolls around and trying to keep customers/coworkers happy. I've managed to maneuver myself well where I'm seen as a down to earth guy who is smart and kind, but has a bit of a charisma to him. My only downside is that I detest selling credit cards and shit to people that don't need it. I have my supervisors encouraging me to do it and I'll put on an air for them, but I haven't put any sales revenue in. On top of that, the system is broken that when I do actually put it in; I haven't gotten credit.

For now, my goal is to try to grab a rung on the ladder at a TD Bank Headquarters which is 30-40 minute drive from where I live. If I can get a full-time, well paying job, then I can just quickly save up money and pay off my loans. I don't really travel and I don't particularly splurge money on things, aside from going to two conventions: One in two weeks and one in August. I picked up a leather runic d20 dice bag and some metal dice as a birthday gift to myself that maybe total'd around $100. That was another "Splurge." I feel stuck in a bit of a lull where I want to go out and "make" something out of myself, but I'm mostly trying to pay off loans first, so I don't fall hard and spiral into an insane amount of debt.

I'm luckily blessed with my friend group still being insanely close after high school. Every Sunday, my friend hosts us for D&D and Board Game Night. I've been working out with a friend on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We have multiple chat groups pertaining to hobbies and interests that we spam and chat up. It's just terrifying to me, knowing that one day that we'll probably split apart.

Not that I can speak to your work ethic firsthand, but I'm pretty confident in your ability to CHA it up and speak with people; if you work hard, don't fuck all your shit up, and can impress the higher-ups with your efficiency and dedication, you'll be able to move on to bigga and betta things. I wish you the best of luck with doing so.

I'm in a similar state with my own friends - we're prettymuch all still in my town, in the capital, or in nearby provinces. For that reason it's not only easy to get together locally and play tabletop games and generally enjoy one another's company, but it's relatively easy to organize parties and that sort of thing at common times for people to visit their families, like after the end of the semester or during Christmas break. Once the summer's over, we're splitting up even further; if I get my grad school of choice, I'm gonna be moving to fucking Saskatchewan. For that reason alone, I almost don't want to get the funding - almost.


Overwatch - I'm actually getting really tired of Overwatch. I enjoyed it at first, but I can't really get into it anymore. I don't know if I just can't get into first person shooters anymore, but most of the time, I just roll up a support and do my job, while the team makes terrible plays.

I still enjoy playing Overwatch so long as I have somebody else competent on my team, or if we're just rolling up in quick play and not giving a shit. I find competitive stressful as fuck because muh golden gunz are on the line, but I've done most of my placements now, and for that reason alone I'm going to finish the rest before the season ends.

I'm willing to allow this, though no further postponement.

You know, unless I really need them. Don't think I will.

Pretty solid work ethic on my part. I'm in early and I'm out late. I just don't really try to sell products too hard, but when I do decide to sell; I give amazing pitches. So I'm hoping to just grab that rung in the Headquarters at a basic entry-level position.

I can understand what you mean. With my friends from coming back in Georgia, I'm excited for this summer since I'll be: Working out Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sunday is Board game night and D&D with a second D&D night on Thursday. Saturday will be hanging out at my friend's house to shoot the shit and vidya game.

My condolences though. Shit sucks when that happens and that's what I'm worried about with my friends.

My friends have really taken a step back from vidya. We used to Rocket League & Overwatch a lot, but one of my friends is hooking up with a girl and has ditched us. The other one works a night shift and then the third is always out and about for his job.

Life's going really well for me. Work, health, relationships, mood, etc. Honestly, the past 6 months have been the best in my life.

Definitely in a busy spot right now. Blooky is graduating and we're moving a town over soon. Seems like there's been some kind of adult task to take care of every day for weeks after work. Hoping to do more streaming and gamedev when the dust settles next month. Maybe even continue a CYOA

Wonder Woman was good! They did great work with the WW1 setting. Bit too many slow motion shots in the fight scenes but apart from that, top stuff.

I... I went to look at this new post and stopped to check reddit while this loaded 3 hours ago...



I spent 3 hours refuting some guy that thought... No, I can't say it, you guys will just disagree with me to trigger me further.
