Now you're tainted with your first DMCA. How will you get married now?

Also obligatory "You're on a list now." Actually that may only apply to US citizens. I don't know what's going on with the news and CISA stuff. But if it's already been passed not much I can do.

Just wait like 4 years and then post it again. Sentai doesn't really after that, given the amount of dubs on youtube and lack of moderation. o.ob

Thanks. I really don't like for some reason, how the image quality has degraded just by linking it on MAL. The avatar has also become quite blurry...
Accessing the sig image directly on imgur makes it a lot clearer than it looks.

Truth be told, I don't really like this set much, too much red for my tastes... rather thinking of using something else in the meantime and bring it back on the 24th.
Then I'm replacing this set right after Christmas... there's one other set I'd really like to use more.

Well anyways I ran across this just awhile ago.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/3y7r0b/do_not_login_to_any_steam_websites/

Afaik there's no breach, but rather there's a glitch that potentially shows some sensitive information. Just something to note.

It's fixed I suppose.

I'm actually thinking of slowly buying the parts one-by-one and assembling the whole thing much later, say late 2016 or 2017... lol

Of course, the parts that would get phased out first should be bought with higher priority... (ex. Skylake CPU before Kaby Lake comes out)

GPU can be the last piece 'cause apparently truly new generations are coming out later this year (AMD's Polaris GPUs or nVidia's Pascal GPUs).

We've already discussed a bit of it, but if I were to build/upgrade again it would be complete overkill not anywhere in the near future.

Hmm, to be honest, that looks like a projector setup. Not sure there's a lot of 21:9 tv's with that small of a bezel out there. The rear looks weird as well, like it's got some kind of glue on it or something:

My guess is that it's a screen for a projector mounted on the wall behind the photo. Or simply a custom built monitor?

If you want a monitor like it though:

So I found out today I have a new rival. An aggressive one, too.
And that new rival is a good friend of mine from another team in the office...
And they seem to be getting along well, or at least for now...
It doesn't appear like that friend of mine is aware that we're rivals, though he could just be keeping quiet.

Is it just me or is my life story becoming more and more like Sayaka, Hitomi and Kyousuke's story?

I'd say you're over thinking it. But hey what do I know? I'm just some loser who hasn't talked to a single girl since my last girlfriend broke up with me right after summer. If you think everyone is out to get you, you're probably right. Now just let me get my application in to NHK and everything will be daijoubu. That said if that's the story of your life, then you ought to learn from the show and brace yourself. But as I said, I'm just some loser who can't converse with the opposite gender apparently so all my advice, opinions, and sayings all don't matter. And I should just skip class and curl into the fetus position and fall asleep rocking back and forth.

I'm already bracing for the worst storm of my life yet. Things are only going to get worse: her birthday is on the 25th, and Valentine's is not far after. I'm expecting things to happen then...

I was utterly stunned when I realized my new opponent was him. A guy I considered a good friend from a different floor in the office. A guy flirty with the girls. It has been several peaceful months since my old archenemy gave up on her, and frankly, I never expected the next challenger to come from that direction, a total blind spot to me - 'cause I thought I knew the guy already had a girlfriend, but perhaps he has already broken up by now. Worst case, he's two-timing...

I feel like I've been back stabbed; By chance I witnessed them leaving the office together (being the idiot that I am, I even talked excitedly to the two of them at the stop wondering how they met, not realizing until after they picked up a ride that he was the new guy making moves on her), so that was the reason she told me and my pal to go on ahead and leave the office without her. Before that there was an eyewitness account going on in our office area that on the day before, when I was away on leave, there was some unfamiliar guy who had no business being in our office area who invited her out around lunch and much later came back bringing food for her in the afternoon.

I don't even know how long has this been going on behind my back, but it seems he has managed to win her over quite quickly... I knew him to be a ladies' man after all. All of this when she has finally started to warm up to me and actually be extra nice than usual... maybe she was being extra nice because she knew something was going on and didn't want to hurt me (officially I'm still just a friend to her but she's also aware of my feelings).

On the first week of work back from holiday break, I stupidly led myself to believe she's become extra nice and social to me maybe because she has started seeing me as more than just a friend after all my efforts in the past year... boy, seems I'm turning out to be terribly wrong. I've never even had a girlfriend before, so that makes me an even bigger loser than you keep saying you are...

Hmm, I could probably write a terribad drama romance story out of the past two years of my life...

No no no no no no no no. No. Having female friends is the first step. You need to understand that. To be perfectly honest if I didn't play Guild Wars and meet them that way it would have been 2 years since I've talked to another person. More like 1 and a half.
You really disregard the value of being able to openly converse with people. I presume you can without the help of using something like it's work or class as an excuse.
That said. You can't compare my experiences with yours. I say I'm a loser because I haven't spoken to another girl in the past year or so. You can consider yourself a loser if you so wholeheartedly believe yourself to be one. I think of myself like that because it gives me motivation to change. If you wanna just take the title so be it. Just make sure what you describe yourself is what you believe. If you wanna feel like a loser, are you going to stay like that? If so there's nothing I or anyone can do. Hilariously, the quote (which will be butchered) I'm thinking of is from anime (Big surprise). Anyways when you find yourself in a hole of regret and stuff like that. No one can save you. You have to fall to the bottom and pick yourself back up. Humans struggle to live. That is our existence.
Now that I've given you this, what are you going to do? Call yourself a loser and just accept that fact? Or are you going to do something to change that? Come out of the little shell and explore the world. You can't always win them all. While I would say to give up, it all depends on your nature and how you want to settle things.

No thread will die today!

Donmai!

She seems nicer than usual


Our stories really are quite similar lol. Don't quote me on this but with my limited experience girls seem to be "nicer" to someone they've been giving the cold shoulder to after they get a partner. Something like "now he has to give up and I can act without thinking of his emotions!" Refer to the part where I said limited experience.

I think you should just ask someone else out. There are 7 billion people in the world. No need to let one ruin your life.

Door to door sales metaphor coming in:

I knock on about 60 doors each day. Repeatedly. Until they're eventually so fed up with the knocking that they come out to "confront me." I get to talk to about 35 people over the course of the 4 hours I knock on these doors. Of the 35, I get to REALLY talk to 5-10 of them. Of those 5-10 only 1-5 will sign up (usually more 1-2). That means I go through 25-34 rejections. These may not be confessions but they may as well be. Some of them are also extremely rude, but then again

There are 7 billion people in the world. No need to let one ruin your life.


So I just keep going.

Asking girls out is less drastic percentages than this. If they're single and not overly self centred and picky (which your girl unfortunately seems like) you should be able to get a girlfriend in maybe 3 different girls (as long as they're single or the aforementioned self centred picky eater).

I'm not sure where I'm going with this lol orz

Don't worry, I have (a few) female friends. I actually consult one of them for this matter, lol. Being able to openly converse with people is something I can apply to most people, but for some reason I find it really hard to talk to her for things not related to work. For those things I usually run out of topics even though we're friends and on paper we have a whole lot of things to talk about. In the same vein, I could make people laugh without much trouble, but she is again the exception, which I believe is a serious if not fatal weakness when trying to win a girl over.
You can consider yourself a loser if you so wholeheartedly believe yourself to be one. I think of myself like that because it gives me motivation to change. If you wanna just take the title so be it. Just make sure what you describe yourself is what you believe. If you wanna feel like a loser, are you going to stay like that? If so there's nothing I or anyone can do. ... Anyways when you find yourself in a hole of regret and stuff like that. No one can save you. You have to fall to the bottom and pick yourself back up. Humans struggle to live. That is our existence.
I see where you're coming from about the 'loser' thing; You're reading too much about my placing the 'bigger loser' line at the end of my post, or more like I worded it carelessly... I don't intend to brand myself one and stay down, because I'm through with that the first time I fell down. I am able to pick myself up now because I have friends like you guys in this club, and other people in real life who care just as much.

You can't always win them all. While I would say to give up, it all depends on your nature and how you want to settle things.
Peptalk™ Finished. Now give them hell
True enough. Giving up, is of course a valid, rational and sensible option. Right now, part of me wants to... and part of me doesn't come hell or high water. There's an inner conflict going on... and I'd like to thank you for offering your take on this. I don't think this is going to end inconclusively like the troubles of the past year.

Something like "now he has to give up and I can act without thinking of his emotions!" Refer to the part where I said limited experience.
A similar train of thought also crossed my mind, and now that you bring it up again... things actually make more sense from that perspective. It's becoming quite likely that they're already going out considering how fast that sneaky guy / friend of mine was able to progress in what I think was a span of less than a month since getting to know her... that maybe they're just keeping it secret from everybody else for some reason...

I think you should just ask someone else out. There are 7 billion people in the world. No need to let one ruin your life.
Indeed, that option makes the most sense and is the most reasonable. It's also the easiest way to solve this. I also have this strong, irrational and idiotic desire to finish all my fights; that I'd lose without giving up no matter how bloody painful it gets. Deep inside there's also a part of me that wants to take the rational route - think of "pro-war" and "pro-peace" factions competing inside my head.

Door to door sales metaphor coming in:

So I just keep going.
Frankly, I think it's pretty amazing that you were able to take your experience from work and apply it as advice for me. ^^; To be honest, I haven't even decided yet if I'll keep pressing the bloody fight or lift the failing siege that I've laid for 17 months outside her extremely fortified castle, but either way, I thank you for contributing your view and your advice. Maybe it really is time to hop off the route of the most difficult girl 'cause I've already missed too many flags to get any decent ending.

Asking girls out is less drastic percentages than this. If they're single and not overly self centred and picky (which your girl unfortunately seems like) you should be able to get a girlfriend in maybe 3 different girls (as long as they're single or the aforementioned self centred picky eater).
I hate to admit it, but picky is indeed a word that suits her for a lot of things. It's part of how she was able to stay single for who knows how many years, perhaps even ~27 despite having model/celebrity grade looks (imagine a slight resemblance to Mia Wasikowska with long, wavy black-brown hair; I'm pretty sure you've seen her already though) and a legion of secret admirers eagerly waiting for a chance to attack.

She's the unspoken princess of my team; to quote a line from a song:
"You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with;
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances"
