Social Link checked the thread. Wow! This is a nice thread!

That's why I still sleep and am very jealous of my sleep time. I make sure I always sleep at least 6 or 7 hours every night in ideal conditions but I still hate it. So let me rephrase what I said If I could stop sleeping without suffering any consequences, I'd do it in a heart beat.

Also, sleeping over 8 hours is bad for your health, just as much as not sleeping enough. You might want to look into that.

Finally, ShinnyMetal is right. Between work, sleep, and other crap being an adult demands you have less than ah hour sometimes for yourself, all thanks to freaking sleeping. I hate that.

As I said, I'm sure with exercise I could get it to 8 as my body would be running more efficiently and would have less need of recuperation and rebuilding, but 9 actually is within a typical healthy range. It is admittedly on the top of the range, but it's there and everyone's body is different. I didn't suddenly decide this was my number and am serving this despite how it affects me; I did a long term experiment on myself in college to see what was best. Now I'm attempting to carve out time to make sure I am being more active and am lowering my heart rate.

I know this isn't always an option as circumstances can tend to force themselves upon us and we have to make the best of it, but often the culprit for not having any time for ourselves has to do with the adult responsibilities we build around ourselves and how we manage our time or conceive of self-time, and less about how much sleep we need. As a full time medical billing representative, part time music educator, composer, husband, home/land owner, farmer, landlord, and church treasurer (among other things), I understand what it means to be serving adult demands. But being an adult is arguably more about doing what needs to be done than about maintaining what it may have meant at one point to have time to yourself.

Not that I'm here to tell anyone how to live. Just offering my perspective on sleeping vs time management. Have a nice day, everyone.

I always feel best when I get 9 hours of sleep. 8 is alright, 7 is do-able, 6 or less is awful, but 9 is perfect.

It's one of my favourite images I can actually get away with posting publicly.

I don't even have to click on the link and I could already tell you exactly what the image is.

I know. It's the perfect balance between disturbing but not offensive in any capacity. Unless someone suffers from coulrophobia. Though if you do, then the problem isn't the nature of the image per se so it would still be allowed.

That's quite a resume you got going there. I am stumped for once and have been rendered completely speechless. Please, do tell us how to live. I mean, with all those activities you mentioned which you have to do on a daily basis and with a daily sleep schedule of about 9 hours daily I am surprised you have time to take a dump or shower at all.

I mean...you do shower, right?

Anyone want to play?

No time to sleep, saving the godamn world.



Go to sleep, go to sleep, dream of clowns, little Rizen.
Don't blame me, don't blame me, don't blame me for bad dreams.

Ah, the fear of clowns. What a wonderful epidemic this generation suffers from. It makes things so easy.

And despite this, I still plan to sit you down across the table with one for a beer and possible singing of pirate songs.

Satoru Iwata R.I.P

He is the reason we are hear today.

 

[ShinTwist ScreamPaste]

I see the news has already hit here.

Satoru Iwata was a good man by the measures available to us, who took repeated cuts to his own salary to protect the jobs of his employees, and believed that by continuing to work as they always have at producing a quality product, rather than cutting costs through job slashing, Nintendo would succeed.

I'll be raising a glass in his honour tonight.

I fail to see how this has anything to do with clowns.

He shall be somewhat missed, but not entirely. I hope the next president has better business know-how while maintaining Iwata's humanity.

 

[smokebomb12]

I am not playing any games today. I am going to sit in my corner and eat ice cream and cry in the dark.

 

[ShinnyMetal]

Good night sweet prince

 

[ama99]

I can't believe it. One of the great minds behind my childhood. Thank you to all the great times you gave to me and my friends. I can't express in words how much we'll miss you. I'm not sure how I'll honour this great man tonight. I didn't always agree with Iwata. But I always respected him. Tonight, my respect will increase to an an all time high as we remember this man for his excellent contributions to gaming.

Yea nothing will be the same. The worst part I was listening to a sad song while reading to the Article

 

[Elessar]

Ok, I get the being saddened over Iwata dying, but this all is taking it a bit too far. Specially considering none of you heretics probably even knew who Yamauchi was nor cared when he died.

Go educate yourselves heathens.

Elessar. What the hell I thought you were one of the better posters on here!

Of course we cared when Yamauchi passed! He was just as important to Nintendo as anyone!

 

[Rizen]

Hiroshi Yamauchi died 2 years ago but Iwata died yesterday so people are talking about him.

 

[Elessar]

I am one of the best ones. I'm just saying get over it already, you're all taking this a bit too far. He died, it's sad, move on.

 

[Himura Kenshin]

Obviously not knowing who Yamauchi is means you can't be sad about Iwata....obviously.

Do you have to ruin everything 4 everyone no matter want it is?

 

[KenMeister]

It's certainly a shame Iwata passed away like this, given he treats his employees especially well, which you can't really say about other companies (Capcom and Konami). That being said, I am a bit optimistic as to see what direction Nintendo goes from here. As great as Iwata's ideas were for revolutionizing games, his business ideals were certainly lacking in almost every aspect as of late, and I'm hoping that the next president hopefully pushes Nintendo in a new, strong direction so that they can actually hold a candle against the ongoing competition.

I was talking with the wifey about Yamauchi actually. That had a strong business game. He didn't know about video games but damn he knew a good idea when he saw it.

Yamauchi was old and dying for awhile. It was, as cold as it sounds, expect. Sad but it's not like it wasn;t coming. Iwata was sudden and he was young. Both are great losses in my eyes

Who is this Iwata fella again? I thought he was some Chinese B-movie actor.

huh, I just went under the "assume they are guys online" assumption.

just tell her that there has only been like...5 plane crashed this year so far or something

 

[HarryTheChin]

Bro, Iwata was the CEO of Nintendo. Head Honcho, mang.

And he didn't just get the title of being CEO he worked his way up through the ranks, he earned it. Very respectable and humble video game company owner IMO

 

[Himura Kenshin]

DF, Iwata was around since the original NES, although his business decisions could be debated, his contribution can't.
