hello thread

I'd like to ask what are your opinions on gay shipping. as in you take two characters of the same sex who are straight or their sexuality is not known and then shipping them together.

I think it can come off as fetishizing homosexuality so I'm not really all for it. I may also be a crank so here I am asking you guys.

this is kinda in response of the Overwatch fandom.

sorry if this post is going to shit up the thread

I read fanfiction all the time. I can the fetishizing concern; however, for a long time it was the only place I could find LGBT content. Well the non-porny kind, although fanfiction can have a great deal of that as well.

Also, sometimes I find stories better then the source material though that usual takes some digging and is extremely rare.

I especially love the ones that alternative view points. For example, the orc's perspective of the LOTR trilogy or Mel was actually right in Inception. Or wierd random mixtures of fandoms, like cast of Teen Wolf in a Jane Austin world.

 

[Ardainian Soldier]

So I started off this year really well and was getting a lot more dates than I ever have before (I usually get one or two a year lol) and not a single one worked out. Why is dating so hard? :'(

 

[BlueBadger]

Ooo, that's a really good shirt

Spoiler

and face

. Where did you get it

Spoiler

(the shirt, not the face)

?

Hahahaha you're always so kind, Kirbs <3!

I got the shirt from RedBubble actually!

Spoiler

and the face from my mama?

Omg this gif is amazing hahahahahahaha. Is it from KH?

 

[Salarians]

Omg this gif is amazing hahahahahahaha. Is it from KH?

Yeah. I think it's KH2, but I have basically zero recollection of that game. I really need to play KH1 HD someday, I've got really fond memories of that one.

 

[Zero²]

LOL I'm just not sure if that was supposed to be a compliment or not?!
:|

Dunno either haha, just thought you matched with the shirt very well! Plus pokemon are cute, so there is that.

 

[BlueBadger]

Yeah. I think it's KH2, but I have basically zero recollection of that game. I really need to play KH1 HD someday, I've got really fond memories of that one.

It's a fun series! I should replay them at some point..

Again.. Thanks? haha.

I've never heard of RedBubble. I'll check it out!

Also, I fixed that for ya.

Yeah. I think it's KH2, but I have basically zero recollection of that game. I really need to play KH1 HD someday, I've got really fond memories of that one.

I'll have to look into this. Pooh Bear is my favorite. :3 Give me a reskinned Animal Crossing or The Sims or even Little King's Story with Hundred Acre Wood characters and I'd be so happy.

EDIT: Not sure which game the gif is from, but Hundred Acre Wood is apparently a location in KH1, KH2, Chain of Memories, and Birth By Sleep. Welp, time to get me a PlayStation.

Spoiler

Please bring the collections to PS4, Square Enix. ;_;

 

[TheAbsolution]

Again.. Thanks? haha.

Yeah, me too. I'm waiting for it to come out on PS4. I'll try and replay it then.


Anyways
Just saw Ghostbusters. Solid film. Totally not worth the hate it got pre release. Good writing, the chemistry between the leads is solid, and it has good effects. The fanservice is a bit heavy towards the end but otherwise, I really liked it.

 

[Aarglefarg]

I learned just now that KH2.8 won't include KH2. It's a really misleading name.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I learned just now that KH2.8 won't include KH2. It's a really misleading name.

I'm really that they didn't bother doing PS4 versions of the KH remasters. I mean, they might as well since 3 isn't coming out too soon anyways.

 

[BlueBadger]

I've never heard of RedBubble. I'll check it out!

Also, I fixed that for ya.

LOLLLL so sweet <3 <3 thank you!

You should check out RedBubble! it has lots of cool geek stuff! not just shirts, either!

Yeah, me too. I'm waiting for it to come out on PS4. I'll try and replay it then.

Yup! That's my plan, too!!

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

I played a little of KH 1.5 HD last week, but apparently there are some input errors when you play with a DualShock 4 that prevents you from running diagonally. It was fine on Destiny Islands, but started to become a nuisance when there were more nuisance to fend off. Still, lots of great memories attached with that game. I'm going to have to pick up a DS3, because I really wanted to play through the first two again before 2.8 came out.

 

[Astral Dog]

I'm kind of obsessed with my new Togepi t-shirt o////////o ;_;

Togepi! thats a cute shirt BB,

hmmm, ive been wondering if its worth to get Pokemon GO i wish it was easy but i have not played a Pokemon game since Diamond and Pearl just lost most interest in the series ,(despite the amazing popularity that game will have stories for months to come.) at least its fun to see people enjoying it so much.

I learned just now that KH2.8 won't include KH2. It's a really misleading name.

i wish there was a collection for PS4 with the two KH games i have not played (KH1 and BBS) as it stands DDD is good but not worth buying again and there is the another short story and a movie.. i guess its better to watch a walkthrough for me :/

Is this what it feels like to be swindled?

My BF and I found this really gorgeous, antique-looking chair that was for free years ago at a garage sale that knew might actually be expensive. Now that I’m moving, I’ve had to sell everything, even though I didn’t want to sell that chair but don’t have any ability to transport it.

Anyway, I tried searching for what it was years ago under “Victorian-style chairs” but came up nil after hours of research. This last week, however, I got lucky, spotted something similar and discovered it’s a Queen Anne Wing Back chair. Moreover, a mint condition one goes for $3000.00. Good condition ones on Ebay are $700.00.

Since mine obviously wasn’t new, I searched for similarly conditioned chairs, tried to do research (discovered it had Cabriole feet), so I wouldn’t get swindled on Craigslist (oh ho ho). Posted it and didn’t get a response until today (I move Monday).

We decided a meeting time and when they arrived, they were dressed in really dingy, food-stained clothes. I felt a sense that they may not know what I was selling at first, but then they started to go through the motions of testing the chair, inspecting the fabric, telling me how they’re going to gut it and reupholster it anyway and that alone will cost them $700 (aka it’s not worth it for my asking price).

Being inexperienced but still well aware of what was happening, I tried by best to haggle a price I’d be happy with. They then proceeded to explain all the faults of the chair, obviously exaggerated, and then they shot back with, “We’ll give you $40 bucks for it.” My heart sunk because I knew what was happening and didn’t know how to retaliate. I countered with a slightly higher price and they immediately accepted. The woman had the biggest grin on her face.

I felt humiliated, so to avoid showing that on my face, I proceeded with small talk about why I liked the chair to begin with while they prepped to move it...and before I could finish explaining that under certain lighting conditions, it has this nice reflective sheen to it, she cut me off and said, “That’s because they wove threads of silver into the fabric.” She smiled again, even bigger this time.

Threads of actual fucking silver she says.

I will have nightmares of that transaction for weeks.

Well played, lady, well played.

The chair in question:

Oh, my heart aches reading this story. The ending in particular kills me. I'm so sorry this happened. But on the bright side, you still made a profit on it, given that you got it for free, and now you don't have to deal with it before moving! Plus, I'm sure you've learned for the future.

Don't worry too much about it. Keep your eyes ahead on moving! Have a safe trip!

i would have let out a screech and tried to scratch her face off

that's awful though sorry sis

earlier this year I went through something similar (though nowhere near as bad). I sold something on craigslist and, being inexperienced at haggling like you, ended up selling it for almost less than half of what was my initial offer. the dude was a pro and immediately started picking out "flaws" with my item as soon as he saw it, flaws that he conveniently didn't see in the clear and detailed pictures I posted in my ad. if it had been something more valuable i'd have been pissed, so I can only imagine how you feel right now. :/

 

[Salarians]

Eugh. I have less than zero respect for anyone who tries to take advantage of people like this. I'm sorry you had to go through this. I imagine the feeling is worse than any money potentially lost or gained.

This might be fraud. Lying to you for you to enter into a contract.

You might not have the time, money or inclination but I mean it could be possible to get the law involved to get it

Is it possible to step on a scale and look like you GAINED weight yet can now fit into pants two sizes lower? Cause ive been losing weight but my scale seems to be flipping the fuck out.

I need to buy a new belt and using size 40 pants instead of 44 but my weight hasnt changed for months.

Have you gained muscle but lost fat? Because you can weigh more but be smaller if you've been putting on muscle. Otherwise, of course a scale can be broken. Do your old pants still fit the same? It could also be that sizing has changed in the industry. That definitely happens, too.

Nah my old pants fall off if i walk to long with them. I have to use a belt for them now when they used to fit well. Hell my new size 44s are sliding down as I walk.

Guess i wont care about the scale for now and stick to what im doing. I have been lifting weights but that's a recent thing.

This is why I was harping on you taking progress pics, because the scale doesn't tell a good story on its own:

...the real test is how you look and feel. On that note, that pic you posted on Facebook the other day says it all; your weight loss progress has been amazing. Really proud of you man, accomplishing what you've done so far is no small feat.

Yeah ive been taking pics here and there. Honestly I feel better and I feel stronger. My gauge was clothes fitting and being able to walk around my old elementary school when earlier this year that would have winded me walking even half way.

Thank you tho! I was not sure if i should have posted that but the response seemed good so it made me happy.

In some aspects, dating is work and requires effort. But, the cool thing is that when you meet someone awesome, it won't feel like work at all. So, chin up and keep at it.

Hey guys, I guess I'm feeling a little anxious so I just wanted to share. I came out a while ago to friends during college. It was nerve wracking at the time, but I felt a lot better about it after. Every thing has been great for the last few years. However, I recently moved for grad school to a place where I don't know anyone and it has me freaking out a little on how to handle the whole coming out thing. I know it's a little silly, but it sort of feels like I'm starting back at step 1. Anyone have some experience with this?

Not really. That being said, don't come out for the sake of coming out: wait to meet people you are comfortable with and make some friends. If you feel at ease with these people, you will come out naturally to them, don't overthink it. And if you notice that some other people are homophobic, stay away from them.
In short: don't rush things. Meet new people, socialize, and things will unfold naturally.
