Great, I hope you end up liking those books if you decide to read them. Though, I should mention one thing about the Broken Empire trilogy before you read it. You see, it truly is deserving of a 'trigger warning' as death, rape, violence agaisnt children, and torture are all present at different points throughout.

There are also graphic descriptions of violence in Deadhouse Gates but nothing so disturbing as in Prince of Thorns.

The Prince of Thorns, Mark Lawrence. It's the first in a grim fantasy trilogy about the former sheltered prince of a hold taking back his birthright and reuniting the broken empire, an empire which has been riven with greed and distrust for over a century... Worth a read in my opinion. It's really interesting to see how his character grows throughout the trilogy.

Deadhouse Gates, Steven Erikson It's the second in an epic fantasy series that stretches ten volumes but I felt that you didn't really need to have read the first book in order to understand this one. Sure, you may have a little more understanding of the universe from the first book but this one doesn't follow the same characters and dumps you onto a different continent in the world. This book actually brought me to tears, something not a lot of books can do.

The Nekropolis Archives: Omnibus, Tim Waggoner. Three books in one handy, if beefy, volume. It's, again, fantasy but mixes with the murder mystery genre and rides close to sci-fi on a few occasions with the fantasy technology (living computers, for example). It's a wild read full of inuendo and absurdity. If you can imagine an intelligent zombie - who used to be a cop on Earth - working as a PI in the five circles of Hell (one for each point of the star in a pentagram, naturally) and find that idea interesting then this book might be for you. The first book in the trilogy is Nekropolis if it turns out the collected edition is not available.

A user of this : ugh, Herd mentality amirite? Trump isn't 'good' but he's very profitable for media outlets. He's a living clickbait article. People want thier daily dose of Trump idiocy and that, unfortunatly, means that the other candidates problems are being overlooked. If only people would do their own research~



If this is legit then it's about time they've announced they're moving agaisnt Trump. It's not that Trump is Hitler - he lacks the inteligence and blind followers to be - or Stalin or Mao, but what he is the key to letting such figures arise in America and obtain positions of power. He's a bully, a baby fascist; he knows what he wants and is willing to do bad things to get it but he lacks the right manipulative skills to do so. Letting him into your government will do nothing but mess it up even more. Now, I'm not saying Bernie or Hillary or, really, any of the other candidates are perfect alternatives but rather lesser evils... A blatent liar, an advocate for executing those who do not subscribe to his religion, someone who believes in a to-perfect future... It's a shame Obama and Trudeau didn't have the chance to work together for longer, they seem so like minded.

Will this prove effective?
It is yet to be seen. The name Anonymous has been diluted as their exploits have become more widely known: remember that guy who threatened pipeline advocates in British Columbia, Canada, and ended up killed by the police? He claimed ties to Anonymous but none were ever found. He was a faker and threatened physical violence - something Anonymous doesn't do. Anonymous advocates free speech, donating to homeless shelters and other such charities, to fight for true democracy. That's why they were able to pull Scientology from the internet and get rid of it's 1-800 number for over two weeks back when the 'church' was in it's prime.

What do I think of Anonymous as a whole?
I think that their message can be good but their methods extreme. They straddle a moral line and ride it hard. Their methods are illegal in many circumstances (doxxing people, raiding corporate servers, etc. etc.) but I also agree with their message most of time. I would not want to affiliate myselves with such cyberspace... renegades?.. But I also would not want them to stop existing. Some forces, even if dangerous, are necessary in the society we live in.

... Well, my normal response to such a thing happening is one that is not quite PC enough to be posted here, so I'll calm it down some.

It. Bloody. Sucks. If I could help you out I am sincere in saying I would. Not to long ago I mentioned to one of my IRL friends that they should come to this place since they were complaining about their GBA dying and no longer being able to play their gateway Pokemon game on the franchises 20^th. All I can really say here is that what you've been doing over the years hasn't been in vain; you've brought smiles to many and helped us forget whatever may be troubling our thoughts, if only momentarily. I really do question companies sometimes. I understand the lawyer who contacted you is merely doing his job, but does not Nintendo understand that sites like this help keep them relevant in the world of gaming? That these sites act as portals for those unable to afford to buy games no-longer in production back to their childhood?

I suppose we must leave the sites luck in surviving this blow to heaven...

yoshirulez! : You and me both. It's way to easy to sleep in past all reasonable times... Forgetting to set my alarm yesterday certainly did not help in me getting up on time.

My efficiency in completing work. It's not that I really even find stuff difficult, it's that I'm just so darned slow in doing it to avoid making mistakes :p It's something that I'm trying to improve.

I voted for the single line logo because it takes up less vertical room and I can see that fitting better on a title screen or in the corner of your site. Stacked looks nice too, though.

I have cast my vote. May the best candidate win~

Keep working, if that's possible for me. I can only foresee the already ridiculous cost of living where I live continuing to climb as I age. It's a shipping, business, and tourist city and has been for many decades so I doubt that I'll be able to retire even after years of savings unless I move out of this area. Besides, why would I want to stop working? It keeps my mind active, my skills practiced, and keeps money coming into my bank account.

NovemberJoy....

I spend to much on this computer, clearly.

Live among the beings I had created, neither confirming nor denying the existence of an omniscient omnipotent being. I'd let them become their own beings, portraying me in many lights and challenging my existence. What is the point of giving things free-will if you do not let them excercise it?

Or maybe I would create a pantheon of other gods and be known as The Eldest of such beings, The Creator Of Life and Collector Of The Dead.

looba : To my knowledge Banksy has never been charged, let alone made his identity public. Unless someone leaks his identity, where and when he's going to install street art then it's unlikely he's going to be charged as Banksy. I have no doubt in my mind that the man has been charged with vandalism a few times in his life but the persona has never been.

And yea, it's a viscous cycle. Removing the graffiti creates a clean canvas for others to fill again.

I'm split on this issue. On one hand, common taggers simply ruin the visual aspect of anothers piece of property with their, at best, wonderfully stylized tag. On the other hand, true artists that use the spraycan and stencil as their medium create brilliant works: sometimes political, others more personal and relatable to on a human level. To take a well-known figure as an example of an actual so-called "street artist": Banksy. His work ranges from the beautiful to the raw; commentaries on society like his Dismaland exhibit to the mural he made on the infamous wall in the Gaza Strip. Even his famous image a rat crowned king speach volumes of who holds true sway in the world. Of course, taggers from the poverty ridden industrial district that is the lower east-side are far common than those who make 'art' with their stencils and spraycans and so those liek Banksy are looked down upon for thier medium by the masses rather then their message.

All in all I gotta say that, while a small amount may be worth the cost of the paint, most of it deserves to removed from the building. That one overpass in Brazil, skate-parks, and even random buildings in the city show what street art can be if an artist makes it rather than a nothing stoner.

No... I do not alter my post to receive likes. They are, to me at least, basically meaningless when it comes down to it. While it may be nice to know if someone agrees with my post or respects how I present my stance on an issue, I really don't care either way. I just like to post sometimes; that's why there are burts of activity on this account. Some days I feel like posting, some days I couldn't bother even if there was a posting competition. Sometimes I do edit my posts content before posting it though... I may not really care what people think of me but it's not good to come across a total ****.

ganondorf4ever : I like your Undertale avatar, but I dislike that you ignored the purpose of this thread and spammed.

Nope, but a couples of my cousins are. Oddly enough, they're from the same mother. Aside from some of my weird interests (like that TES universe based story I've slowly been piecing together... Magic, a mad gods realm, and talking cat and lizard people makes for a good setting aight?) I'm completly normal :p I've got nothing against people who are on the spectrum - I know their life can be difficult and that I can't assume what 'type' of autism they have given how large the spectrum is and how each individual is affected differently - but I won't treat them extra special if they possess a high functioning form. I mean, I'll give them some slack in an area thats made uber difficult for them becuase of their form of autism (social interactions, for example) but I won't give them a pass on being horrible cooks if they have the ability to understand executing recipes like everyone else. I'm sorry, but if you can understand what is written and understand measurements and temperatures then there's no reason for the peanut butter cookies to be inedible.
