Posts like these make me wonder why nameless hasnt established a rigorous caste system where PMS has top privelege and the whole deal is modded by Tinker for the Lulz.

Because the mafia will come (or go, we don't know)

I gain recognition even now

Yet I reject the HBC! So also do I reject the PMS; I will join no caste!

Is it not shairn of me? Do you not see shairn?

Sorry I just went over the moon @ TL where I have just become an Arbiter. Somehow this was better than gaining admin elsewhere

I wish the book to anime process was much faster

Like ffs, at this rate the alicization arc of sao wont be made into anime til i'm like 30 or some **** ;-;

Is this a bad thing though

Yes

If I had to put it in maylay perspective, it would be like a Falcon getting a Dthrow > Knee (which everyone percieves to be hype) to Bidoof ****ing flying off stage with Ganon, warlock punching someone into the side of Warioware, then stomping them when they bounced off.

That's how gud Alicization is compared to the rest of sao

Ok

Now

When you are 30 did a prophet tell you you would die/ do you think you will enjoy it any less/ will you being 30 make it less worthwhile than if it was done so poorly that it disappointed you? Can you imagine your disappointment if they ruined it?

[Johnknight1]

Where were you, Imperial? Indio?

Southern Imperial. It was scorching that summer, one of the hottest they ever had. Fortunately I missed the earthquake a few years back.

Whole state been suffering though.

Only the North has been conserving though.

Colorado river?

You mean the river 7 states and 2 countries claim and divide water between? California gets barely any water out of all that, and none of it reaches Northern Calfornia.

And no, most of the water comes from Northern California, as this graph shows, and a huge chunk of it comes from Hetch Hetchy. That irrigation is a big reason why the California 200 year drought began actually.

By the way, that big one Orville... I go boating there. The lake there is down 100 feet lower than where it should be. It's pretty low on water. In a decade it could run out, and that's where the bulk of SoCal water come from.

Northern California has been conserving more water for a good long while.

During the drought the average Rancho Santa Fe (a San Diego county town full of wealthy) resident used more water than before the drought, a whopping 584.4 gallons. 584.4 gallons per day per person. The average San Francisco resident used 45.7 gallons of water per day.

If you ask me, the California state government should grow some balls and drop a $25,000 fine minimum on each resident's doorsteps, along with a warning that if they use over 500 gallons per person they're gonna start rounding people up, putting them on trial, and putting them in prison (because let's be honest: they belong there moreso than people being put in prison for using illegal narcotics recreationally [of course this doesn't apply if they're a farmer]).

Edit: hint, hint, we should wise up like the Saudis and start desalinizing water.

you dont know **** if you think log horizon is a rip off of .hack


.hack and log horizon arent comparable. yeah they're both animes that are based in the world of an MMORPG of which the players are stuck and cant log out but that's where the similarities end.

.hack and log horizon are both ****ing amazing.

.hack has some of the best atmosphere and convoluted, coherent writing; while creating a whole ecosystem within itself that expanded past the games and the shows (.hack//legend was garbage tho) but it didnt really employ the MMORPG concepts and mechanics and really just used them as plot points unless you were actually PLAYING the games which at that point, it's pretty obvious why. even legend started throwing the mechanics to the side as the series went on.

log horizon constantly and consistently utilizes mmorpg mechanics within its story AND GOES BEYOND that by creating explanations for why/how the mmorpg mechanics work and come to be. the writing isnt as strong as .hack but that's fine because its a much more light hearted anime. it's also much more contained then .hack but it at least stays true to the fact that its an MMORPG anime. it constantly talks about mmorpg mechanics and stays true to them, and when they do go beyond mmorpg norms, the times they do this, the logic is sound and isnt stupid.


log horizon is its own take on the "mmorpg anime" and cant really be compared to .hack past what I stated at the start of my post.

Edit: hint, hint, we should wise up like the Saudis and start desalinizing water.

We are desalinizing here, but that is really expensive.

As for the wealthy folk, dang what are they using it for? Watering grass?

Palm Springs I would expect to use more, the golf courses.

But perhaps that is NorCal water you are talking about as PS uses mostly local and river. Do we seriously have that good of a piping/transport system that water from Tahoe makes it all the way south? Just having such a system is impressive enough to be difficult for me to believe, without seeing it.

If we can move that kind of water, why should the Salton sea be such a problem? Either drain it or desalinize it, if we can build such a massive network surely we can solve that issue.

Desalinization would be better and awesome, that would become a ton of useable water...

But where would all that salt go?

Anyway, you sound unusually upset about water. My family mostly lives up north, and they don't get near so emphatic- unless you are unserious, then I would sway the other way- it is important stuff you are talking about.

But seriously, are you actually bitter with southern CA as a whole? Like I took this all for joking but maybe you all aren't?

I even pointed our obvious, glaring flaws out, you seem to be in attack mode though.

In fact the chart you linked proves that I'm not even involved at all in the water from the north! None of it goes east of San Jacinto

What Hollywood people and Rancho Santa Fe do, I don't know. Granted, my household is growing lemons so we do use a lot of water, but we practically sang the Mormon hallelujah chorus when the state finally said let lawns die. We had been fighting our neighbors who said our yard was ugly and successfully got the county fining us for not having grass!

So I am wondering why you think government is going to solve this problem? They both solve it and cause it.

...

Am I being trolled though? Maybe I am trolling myself?

You claimed SoCal is literally inferior people, I took you for joking and made a joke defense.

Then you make a serious rebuttal to that defense?

Like do you see where I am unnerved by you now? I frankly don't care if wealthy people are using a lot of water, that doesn't make everyone living near them subhuman.

So, until you set that straight, I want nothing to do with you and move out of CA if it's so bad, what with all these subhuman apes. Go for CO or maybe WA is better, lots of water and no narcotics problems.

Umbreon's Guide on How To Win at Project M

1. Go to Smashboards

2. Read "Tier List Speculation

3. Quick survey what people have been complaining about the most in the last two weeks

4. Roll that as hard as possible

5. ???

6. Profit

Some of the stuff complained about only works if the opponent doesn't know what he is doing... Your strategy could work though

Yes it's a mix-up, like this crappy video and it not mentioning Diddy to do Bair Aerial/Side-b https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi-U2TRH15w#t=95 ; besides the point of combo'ing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7a1U1UfrNw#t=222 (http://smashboards.com/threads/project-m-social-thread-v3-5.339825/page-1255#post-18070422 ; http://smashboards.com/threads/project-m-social-thread-v3-5.339825/page-1300#post-18139139 )

What do you mean vary the jump height "much better"? You have to do it frame perfect to do it, not to mention how hard it is when you want/need to do it the 2nd frame to not get it. You can barely actively choose. I asked Dr.PP and it seems no top players have a specific use for it. If I'm throwing out SH ACs I might like it lowering my overall height to get to the ground quicker, but even then you could be really good and just FFall near the end of a 2nd frame one. I can't use this to lower my height for any late aerials or anything of course. It's just making early/double aerials that require you to be on the 1st not work and 2nd frame even harder to time. Same if the thing required you do it on frame 3, doing it frame 1 might lower your height enough to not make that work either (when without it frame 1, 2, and 3 would all let it work); but I'm a noob and didn't figure out the exact amount of air time in frames it reduces (for Falco at least.. it's not more than one or two frames probably)
Also with this, if you have 1 frame of buffer it's only going to make you get the reduced height more consistently; for better or worse.

You can upload your stuff to PMDepot if you wanted. I don't have any recording tips, but if your a bad speaker like me and Kadano you'll want to keep things with text depending on the video; all while playing good music and making things easy to understand (both Kadano kind of loses in his real technical videos, I don't think half of the people watching them understand what they learned with no "wait, what does this mean?" section). I try to tackle that with quizing like at the end of this video;

For combo videos though I got this http://smashboards.com/threads/combo-video-ideas-and-inspiration.370622/

I'm not qualified to dissect Crouch cancelling. Brawl sucked, and you need to be wary of going with what they did. And right now the issue might be more around not knowing when their percent is safe for the move; compared to generally known percents in Melee MUs. And things like Jab to Up-smash isn't exactly highly looked upon to have more of going on.

Much better was exaggerated but I definitely like the bit of control one gets over the jump height. But as you mentioned, the difference is minimal.

Thanks for offering me to upload on PMDepot. I will contact you if I have video footage which is worth an upload.

The issue you named with CCing is a kind of "sharp border issue" (not knowing the exact percent at which it works because it is not very intuitive, and one percent lower you could gain great benefits and one percent higher you might end up KOd). Do you think that CC should have a continuous decline in efficiency with increasing percentage instead? In this case, the induced animation for CC should be expressed by a quantity which is dependant on knockback (inclusive but not excluding).

@ GHNeko

I'm not even gonna lie.

Log horizon s2's pacing feels disgusting to me.

S1 was great, but holy **** I felt like we are wasting so much time worrying about the teachings when that wasn't even half interesting compared to real issues. The only significance is that it's a skill that goes beyond the game's initial limits, but akatsuki's "I'm so useless" attitude during it really was anti hype.

Everything else really just felt like they were trying to stretch it out as much as possible. I can't say for the last 4 or 5 episodes though since I'm behind a few from the anti hype but the last thing I remember seeing was

Spoiler

Shiro and his group getting wrecked by a ****ing triple raid, which I think was actually a bit hype, then it goes into a him essentially learning the meaning of death in log horizon episode

I intend to jump back into it and watch the episodes I missed and hope it's pacing gets better once we get to episode 20.

---------------

Sign was great

I was too young to understand Liminality completely and it was quite boring to watch when you're 7-8 years old.

IMOQ was astounding, but I'm stuck on the third game because the friend I borrowed them from had took them back and I haven't bothered to ask him if I could borrow them again. But I know the whole story of that one since my oldest brother bought them all as day one releases and I watched him play them. I also have fond memories of being scared ****less by that game when I was young since I had actually played through quite a bit of disk 1. **** any horror movie, skeith alone was spooky enough.

I never watched through Roots all the way but I wasn't too interested

.hack GU was great to me as well.
Felt more like a normal anime with the .hack stuff in it, but I enjoyed it heavily nonetheless. It's actually what made me desire an action based MMO.

Spoiler

Unrelated, but when playing .hack gu and looking up information about it because the world was extremely interesting, there was an ad for a online game like .hack.

****ing linked me and my friends to FlyFF.
We actually played it and enjoyed it despite it not being like .hack.

Eventually in about 2011 I discovered Vindictus. Personally that combat blows .hack out of the water.

Anything after GU I haven't kept up with too much. I know little bits here and there.


That silly manga/anime where those kids won kite and blackrose' avatars was also on my radar.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean @ Akatsuki. Like christ man did they really have to spend so much time on that nonsense?

I get what they were trying to do because they did a lot of work for the setting/world of Log Horizon but christ they could have overlayed something better no?

The overall pacing of S2 doesnt feel to bad for me because they're doing a lot with the world as they have been since the start of the show. Granted, they not doing AS MUCH as S1, but they're still filling out a bunch of stuff. The little arc they're doing right now with the kids is proving to be interesting with the appearance of the female shiroe looking ass *****.

I'm also waiting for actual romantic tension between Rudy and Isuzu.

The best part about Liminality was the hidden keywords in each disc~
The scary parts of //IMOQ for me at the time were the solo dungeon missions.
//Legend of Twilight was charming filler until we got //GU.
//ROOT was bleh.
//GU had some sweet lore and The World R:2 was waaay better. So much more endgame content to **** around in. I still like R:1 though

As for anime, I've been trying to find something to watch, but nothing seems interesting to me. My older brother tried getting me to watch Fairy Tail, but it just bored me. It's just the same shōnen archetype that's been getting recycled for nearly thirty years now.
