Thanks for the Good Nights all =)
Icewind Dale 1 and 2
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
They're amazing single-player games, but they can be played multiplayer as well.
I had my friend be the best man at my wedding. He didn't really have to do anything fancy, just get dressed up, go to a rehearsal, and then stand around with a ring. And then eat at the reception. Didn't make him prepare a big speech or anything.
But, obviously, everyone's different. Ask your friend what they had in mind for you to do.

Excited about this book called Massive: Gay Erotic Manga and the Men Who Make It (not terribly SFW). Hate that this specific article mentions "bara" as Tagame and other artists' style but shows how little the writer knows about gay manga, the fact that the book itself doesn't (at least seems not to) is a relief - expected though since they interviewed actual Japanese artists and not random people on the internet (gay manga purist).
It's a shame that the video doesn't show Takeshi Matsu, he's cute.
Pretty cool that this website "Massive" sells original doujinshi and compilations too but most seem to be sold out. For like 3 times the price they are sold in Japan, but still cool I guess.

Maybe try reading during class breaks, on your way to/from school (if you're using public transport) and whenever you have some forced free time (like waiting in line) that you would otherwise spend doing nothing. That plus about half an hour before sleep should already give you some time to read.
As I said earlier, during last year I was reading mostly in public transport (about 1.5 - 2 hours per day) and that way managed to read 52 books (~270 pages each on average).
I have bad news for you.
You will probably also be responsible for the bachelor night.
This is why I dread whenever one of my friends get married. That I will be chosen to be the best man.
Forget Heathen. He didn't even bold Metal Slug 3. Metal fucking Slug 3, man.
What kind of "old laptop" are we talking about? Because on my (now dead) 7+ year old one (Radeon 3200HD, Athlon Dual-Core 1.9Ghz, 4GB RAM) I was able to play games (focusing on co-op/multiplayer ones) like RE5, Left for Dead 1 and 2, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Call of Duty 4 etc. They weren't pretty (low-mid settings, below 720p resolution) but hey - they worked. And I'm sure your laptop isn't that old (in my case the main bottleneck was the integrated graphic card). It would help if you'd give us your specs.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Fitness dilemna!
I got a benefit @ work that'll allow me to get a treadmill or a free membership to any gym of my choosing (those are the options I've decided on). What would you guys think is the better option? I'm on the top floor of my apt so I don't know how much noise a treadmill could cause through the floor and if the downstairs neighbors could complain. On the other hand I'm also self conscious about people "watching"
me work out and not a fan of crowds so I'd have to go late (24 hour gym).

Integrated GPUs are the bane of my existence because I like small PCs
Nowadays most laptops have both integrated and dedicated GPUs. I was able to finish whole RE6 on my mom's notebook (I was still using my old laptop; only few months later it finally died and I was "forced" to buy myself a new PC
) and the game run smooth as butter on mid-high settings.From my experience, treadmills aren't that loud, so keeping it in an apartment shouldn't be a problem. But I would still choose free gym membership. Free weights > treadmills.
And don't worry about people judging you; just put your headphones on and focus on your workout.

There are small GPU's fpr HTPC's. Take for example GTX 750 ti and Gigabytes GTX 970 mini ITX:
Personally, I like them big.
Gym membership would be better in my opinion. The reason being that at a gym you can use various equipments to work on different areas. A treadmill is nice but the only thing you're doing is running. At the gym you can do many more things. Don't worry about people judging you. Chances are there are more people like you, worried that you could be the one judging them! The only bad thing about large crowds is having to wait.

Ah thanks guys
I think I'm gonna go with the gym membership. I def couldn't workout without music but it'll be awkward having my massive phablet phone on me as I workout lmao as I gave my old ipod to my brother a while back hahaIntegrated GPUs are the bane of my existence because I like small PCs
It's getting better.
The former is an odd shape, but having all the connections on the top makes it really easy when I'm moving it and it fits nicely inside this bag with room to spare for the keyboard, mouse, wires and headset. The latter is quite a lot bigger* than a console, but really small for a complete desktop computer with internal PSU and both space and cooling for a high end GPU (like the GTX 980). It's so much smaller than the former because the GPU lies on its side. That also means the GPU breathes better.
Former is Silverstone FT03-mini and latter is Silverstone FTZ01 (a much uglier version, the RVZ01, is also available). I love Silverstone because they make a lot of affordable and great looking cases and aren't afraid of taking risks. The rest of the industry seems to believe we still need 5+ harddrives and expansion cards as if it's 1999.
*The case looks different because it is the RVZ01. They're both identical apart from the looks.

I have 3 hard drives, and will probably be putting in a 4th in a couple of months
in my laptop >.>
I like storage space :þ
Four 2.5 inch drives? The FT03-m can fit two small drives, one big and a third small drive if you replace the slim optical drive with an adapter so you could still use it
The HDD case (where one 3.5 and one 2.5 are fitted) is a mess though so I'll probably just velcro my second SSD somewhere inside when I get it
Ah thanks guys
There's a lot of people that will go the gym with their phablet phones listening to music.

Well, one's an mSATA SSD
Then 2 regular hard drive slots
Then going to be replacing the optical bay with another hard drive (one of the regular ones in there now, and stick another SSD into one of the regular slots)
Well then I can fit a fifth drive. Only problem is the slot is behind the motherboard...
Yes, yes he is. Just saw his photo on tumblr (unless that's a photoshop, but it doesn't matter). :3
Look him (Marc Buckner) up on tumblr's tags.
What are you doing that you need so much space?

Well, that's a random place.
But, my view is - the more storage, the better!
What are you doing that you need so much space?
I don't like deleting anything, and I like multiple backups (on separate drives, on external drives, and off-site)
Yes, I'm a bit obsessive... >.>
Hmmm... sound suspicious.

I won't reas during class breaks (I use that time to read for school or eating) but reading while commuting is a good idea. I think I'll manage to read at least 20 books by the end of the year if I put a lot of effort, even more considering school breaks.
No reading before going to sleep though, time for sleeping is valuable for me 😅
I'm so glad that the skype chat is once again active. Even if there are hiccups.
Whats your major?
I just realized I don't like my major at all...
Wish I could change it but I'm already this far.

Computer Science. I'm not even good at math, lol.
Eye of the tiger.
Is that radically difference from programming?

How far? Unless it's like your last year or something I would definitely switch, otherwise you will probably just switch later when you realize you hate the work. University involves a lot of sunk costs for a lot of people because half of an undergrad degree is figuring out your interests.
From personal experience, once you finish studies, there's a huge chance you won't even need (advanced) math in your job.
Unless you hate the computer science in general (programming and all that IT stuff); in that case, why do you even major this?
So I finally clarified everything with my friend there was this huge misunderstanding, I was sharing his Facebook profile link to my other friend and accidentally posted it in his messenger, when he opened it he saw his own profile which was completely odd of course and then he got a virus infection, he obviously thought it was me, being the computer nerd I am, so that's why he blocked me from everything and was kind of freaked out about the whole thing obviously, he thought I was hacking him. I randomly found him on the street and we could clarify everything, I apologized for the fight before and everything is good now.

I'm into my third semester, and it's been a drag so far. I'll probably have do a minor too. I love humanity classes.
Well IT, and programming are a bit different. I love everything tech related, but I find programming a bit boring tbh. The professors are also very boring and I dislike large classes. I miss the smaller classes.
So I finally clarified everything with my friend
That's good, but I wonder why he didn't tell you before. Glad everything's back to normal with your friend.

I'd think about why you're studying it. Because there are always lots of reasons, but actually sifting through them to find solid ones can be really tough, because often we're thinking of the benefits in a fairly abstract way. I struggle with it a lot. Sometimes when we're trying to be realistic about our prospects or passions we actually do the very opposite. I don't think it's so much that we have to study something that is our passion, but the work involved has to engage us enough that we can find some kind of occupational fulfillment through it, which I think usually has to do more with the kind of cognitive skills you're using, like thinking in certain ways can often either feel like it helps you to be more yourself in a way, or hinders it. Like if you're into solving certain kinds of problems, or research, or whatever?

I'm a criminology major.. It ended up being one of those majors that I didn't mind going into it, but ended up loving it more and more with each semester.
