A leap day is also called a bissextus. Why did I only learn this on March 1st?

So you ghost basically...

Texting and driving is real common/normal too. Still utterly shitty.

That doesn't mean he ghosts.

 

[Mumei]

I haven't, what is your opinion of it? I really want to learn Chinese to read the Agamas, and also I am kind of obsessed with China culturally, so maybe one of these days I'll read it in some language.

You should read it; check out the Anthony C. Yu's revised translation. Yu's opening essay is really interesting; he talks about the historical monk who made the journey to India (hence, the West) in order to acquire Buddhist scriptures, about literary antecedents to the Qing novel, about allegorical elements within the story (how the story can be read as an allegory of internal enlightenment with regular references to traditional Chinese internal alchemy and characters who can function both as character and as allegorized representations of both Buddhist concepts and internal alchemy, and points out how the story consistently puts forward a particular syncretic perspective, the "three religions harmonious as one" tradition, including direct quotes and paraphrases of Lin Zhaoen.

Yu also had another interesting essay called "Two Literary Examples of Religious Pilgrimage: The Commedia and the Journey to the West"; I haven't been able to read the entire thing since the journal article is old and the library doesn't have it, though I have found most of it between Google Books and Amazon's preview. It's very interesting, and yes Journey to the West is as deeply steeped in Chinese religious perspectives as Dante's poem is in his Catholicism.

Also, you should read The Story of the Stone.

persona Q for $20 and Rayman Origins 3DS for $7.50

fuck

FUCK

Do not spend money on origins 3ds.

I'm not a huge fan of Q myself but Origins is an objectively bad port.

 

[Eusis]

Origins is 30 fps on a platform that regularly has games of similar style at 60 fps. Though that's kinda screwy even with some 3DS native games...

Not to mention it doesn't take the 3DS's subpar screen into account and tries to display the original assets with no modification. The whole thing ends up being a blurry, unresponsive mess.

 

[DOWN]

Blank Space is some sort of inspired by adaptation of Born to Die right?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Rayman 3DS is a bad game.

Save your coins for FE Fates Revelation.

EDIT: Though I think Persona Q was supposed to be pretty good.

Yes! I've slowed down playing it because of The Witness and other games but I should get back to it.

Does someone know how much is left after getting all the iris gems? I have a few more to get.

Well, that was a particularly special ban.

 

[DOWN]

Omg why? RIP for now

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I'm sorry it happened but look at it this way that you don't have to deal with someone that doesn't seem to be worth your time and is quickly giving you easy reasons to move on. That is trash behavior and you shouldn't tolerate it.

Truth.

 

[Captain Europe]

Was it because of the Erik/Nintendo thread? Maybe I'm next... ='(

 

[Blood Diamonds]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sai sis come back soon hunty pls

 

[Vazra]

Nope.

 

[Aarglefarg]

I'd say the "get fucking banned idiot!!!!"

Edit: ^ I see.

 

[Eusis]

Nope.

That's actually vaguely disappointing. It's a more level headed anger rather than this random explosion over nothing.

 

[Dead Prince]

I'll be the only one left soon enough. *sips water*

 

[Aarglefarg]

A 10 day ban. Some good time to spend with Mikleo.

It's not over nothing. It was about the other person overlooking allegations of domestic abuse because they put on a show they like.

Poor Sai.

No, the "over nothing" would be about buying a game on sale before checking if it was a good version or not.

The post in that thread I can actually side with him even if it may've been a bit harsh. Fuck Bill O'Reilly, he shouldn't be staying on the air despite this.

 

[Astral Dog]

wait Sai Kun too? nooooo...

 

[Kinsei]

Did no one else know that episodes two and three of Gaycation are up on Viceland, or am I just really slow? I'm about to start the Brazil one now.

Here's the link if anyone else wants to watch: https://video.vice.com/en_ca/video/brazil/56a90e3f59b6e07a13d27d01

Ah, I understand what you meant.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Oof, sai. Let this be a lesson to not let other posters fuckery get to you. Schattenjäger is quite the character, and that's all I'll say.

See, Sai could have gone out with one of those gifs.

he wasn't serious about that :lol

 

[Eusis]

Yeah, usually that isn't, but that's part of why it'd be funnier if he were banned over that!

 

[Delio]

I'd love to talk about pants. The current pants I wear are so tight that if they were any tighter I'd have reproductive problems.

Being the butt guy that I am seeing tight pants on a guy is just extra great .

[RM8]

I was a bit late to the party, but Fire Emblem Fates is so good <3 I might start a new file on hard before I play more, though, Hoshido is definitely not very challenging. But I don't regret playing it first, the characters are so much better The best part is that I can play FE while I look for SFV matches, effectively playing both games at the same time, lol. Now I need to make room for XCOM 2 in my routine somehow.

If you want to murder a few of your braincells then please, please read this post:

Are you guys out of your mind?

For istance, I think DoA Xtreme is ridicolous and cringeworthy. You now I'm not biased in stating the following.
I know where this naked man thing cames from. Gays and women are like "we have no problem with your naked chicks so you don't have to get uncinfortable with our naked man. Don't be such a baby." Well gues what? It's common sense that straight men get unconfortable looking at near naked muscolar hairless men. Women have zero problems at looking at other females and profusely compliment each other about their bodies.
Men and women aren't the same. Also straight and gays aren't the same. They like different things and get unconfortable with different things.

Do you like naked men? Have a naked men thing on your own. Why people feel the urge to push their agenda to other people is something I can't understand.

i love me some sexy uncinfortable muscoler hairless men

 

[Escape Goat]

why is everything shit?

I understand companies arent charities, but it is unfortunate that the US pays so much more for healthcare compared to other first world nations. With my insurance my copay is $80 for a 30 day supply which I think is still pretty high.
