how does one make lasting friends without smash? lol. There's a group of 3 guys I've gotten to know a bit over the course of the data structures course and I'll be seeing them all again next semester in the game design course. I don't have many interests outside of smash ;_;

Offer value to people. This can be as simple as deep conversation or inspiring advice, or actual offered value (inviting someone to some party, hang out for a game night, introducing them to someone you think they'd like to meet etc.) When someone is a truly valuable addition to a person's life, they notice, and will reciprocate by providing value back.

By the same token, people do not like when others take value but offer nothing in return, which is obvious, but I didn't realize until learning the hard way years ago. By bugging and hounding people in high school to hang out or send info about that party in the weekend, people viewed me as a liability, and were less likely to want to follow up. This is what people mean when they want to ask for a favor from someone but then say "Nah, he doesn't know me like that." If you bring value to people's lives FIRST, things go much smoother.

Obviously don't take it to extremes to the point where people are using you and you start becoming a people-pleaser. If these "friends" are taking advantage of your services and giving nothing in return, then it's best to cut them from your life.

There was a 3 hour broadcast that got deleted due to time or something that Westballz didn't highlight, where he went over a bunch of Falco stuff. Now it's gone forever

Friendships are based upon common interests. If you've got nothing to talk about, you won't be friends. To expand your pool of possible friends, expand your horizons by picking up new interests. Nothing ill comes from becoming a more interesting person.

I was browsing ways to decorate and was blown away from this house
http://blog.vht.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/50_Point_Morgan_KitchenLivingRoom.jpg

I want to buy a couple of cheap large posters (art? nature?) and see if that makes my house entertaining. Actually if I had a huge poster of this amazing house to hang in my house, that'd be great. Or like a huge Melee poster

Or like wallpaper, however the heck that works.

"testosterone pumping" and "masculinity" are not words that I would readily apply to myself.

I went to sleep at 11 and I just woke up at 3 AM, now I can't fall asleep again because I'm not used to getting more sleep than that.
My body is stupid.

Sleep schedule usually takes 2 weeks to change, you ain't gonna fix yourself with just one night of good conscience man.

I'm sorry I don't have 20h per day to invest in a game that can't read my inputs zero sama.
Ps : maybe it'd be interesting to remind him that it took people more or less 4 years to become good at Brawl (pls don't laugh too hard at the concept of good brawl players it is/was a thing).

What, I'm not tryna change my sleep schedule, I just passed out at 11 because I only had one hour of sleep last night. I do all of my internet stuff at night so I hate sleeping.

I need computer goggles so I do this all day and night.

I've got no idea, I always thought Franku was too weird to talk about with people and now suddenly people would just think I'm on a bandwagon if I knew anything about him.

Filthy Frank is not great, but damn it's hard not to watch most of what he puts out

Oh my b then, but in this case being awake at 3 am is the opposite of a problem no ?

I call it "being 17". There's no value in sleep when your body forgives you literally everything and you spend all your waking time sitting in class/front of your computer.

**** I wish I knew how cool it is to be young when I was young.
