  1. No, Reborn needs more Destiny players. We need a 6 man raid team.

  2. I feel like someone shared this already but...
  3. Vigilante my butt. They're criminals. Cat burglars, if you will. That blue-print map in their bar hideout makes it look like they're plotting a heist. Plus that short scene where the mc is behind bars (probably a nightmare or midnight channel type scene). I honestly really don't like the direction they're going with this. The crazy ass acrobatics, the overly-care free give no fucks attitude that seems to pervade...
  4. Lucky me, I got a Black Hammer from my first real raid on crota. We blew through that fast and I got 2 pieces of useful raid armor. Did VoG on Hard right after that. That one took longer but now I've got vex mythoclast and plenty of ascendant materials. And just now acquired the exotic bounty for invective
  5. An arts major? Pretty brave in these times. What kind of art do you do/work with?
  6. I didn't realize they updated this anime on Wednesdays. I thought it was saturday like every other anime. Time to catch up.
  7. You see why I don't miss melee and its host of techs??
  8. I didn't even realize it was Wednesday today. Oops.

  9. You'll understand when you're older.

    1. Sutoratosu

      -Said every parent ever.

  10. tfw re-reading WoT series and at the third book. That other feel when noticing the typo on Omega's Water Shuriken.
  11. That's allan. He gets mad when you talk about chandelures so we just stopped talking to him. Anyways, hi and welcome to reborn, Helia. *hides the moonstones*
  12. Imagine a group of superpowered sociopaths... and you have a good chunk of Parasyte's story right there. Parasyte >>>> Akame ga Kill.
  13. Luffy has those I-used-to-wear-glasses-all-the-time-but-now-I-use-contacts eyes.

  14. I forgot what the letters meant until you posted that. Btw, scuba stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus That's way easier to remember
  15. I don't like the fact that it's pre-downloaded to the memory card either, since I'm going to pull out the default 4gb one and put in a much bigger one. I got's plenty of stuff to transfer from my old 3ds SD cards. I'm gonna opt to get the straight black 3DS when it comes out and MAYBE get MH4U. Even after the demo, I'm still not in love with the game.
  16. People were claiming putting restrictions on certain types of guns was against the 2nd amendment. Which is basically right to bear arms, so that people could fight back if the government was corrupt and needed to be changed. Obama's plan to limit assault weapons. You know, guns that weren't made for hunting but for killing larger quantities of people in combat/conflict, would make it harder for shooters to go on a spree. You'd have to reload more often if you have smaller capacity magazines. And some people aren't allowed to own/posses guns as it is. Like the mentally unstable, or people convicted on domestic violence charges (this is a huge one for army guys, because they can't have a gun, even in a combat zone if convicted, so they get booted out). He was also trying to beef up background checks and stuff that people have to go through and pass before they can buy a gun. Makes it tougher and take longer for people to own a gun. And I'll write more later.
  17. that's pretty much what I seem to remember. Simple majority vote to pass most things, super majority to overturn a veto.
  18. America has 3 main branches of power that are supposed to keep each other in check. -The guys that create/alter laws- legislative. (congress) -The guys that interpret laws, make sure laws are in keeping with the constitution, and determine if laws have been broken- Judicial (Supreme Court and lower level courts) -The guys that implement and enforce laws/policies, makes decisions for the country- executive. (President) ---- -President checks congress by the ability to block (veto) changes they try to make, and has influence on judicial by being able to appoint Supreme Court Judges. -Congress can overturn President's veto with a (super?)majority vote and are the ones who have to approve the person the President tries to appoint to the supreme court, or else he has to keep picking new ones until he picks one enough of them like. -Judicial Branch is the one that says whether a law (legislative) or action (executive) is in keeping with the constitution, and thus is able to overturn them. --- That's the real basic framework of it, but each section breaks down further into lower levels of authority. The other really key thing you would need to know about is the Constitution. It is the document that defines and sets up the three branches as the bodies of power. It defines their powers, responsibilities, and limitations. In doing so, it also establishes the rights of individuals and states. The Constitution has had changes over the years, known as Amendments. The first 10 collectively are known as the Bill of Rights, as they were introduced together to more clearly define the rights of citizens and states. There are a total of 27 amendments, some being more memorable than others. Such as #13, specifically abolishing slavery. Or #18, which abolished alcoholic drinks... until it was taken back by #21. I'm glad I bought this little booklet that contains the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Every phrase and every sentence was excruciatingly crafted. --- Let me know if there's something you want to know more about. Like perhaps the party system. It irks me how quick and easy it is for someone to say their system is shit or corrupt without saying much else to support it. The first impression that I get from it is that they are repeating what someone else has said without having actually looked at things critically on their own.
  19. It seems like you are making promotions into something more like the reality- a recognition of a member's outstanding achievements and/or constant demonstration of competence. So... things are going to happen in battle, and the leadership (your commanding units) basically authorize promotion orders based on the outcome. Perhaps as a part of the promotion, they are awarded better gear or a weapon of their choice (basically, when an upgraded class gains the ability to use a new weapon class) or are chosen for additional training (such as transitioning to fighting from horseback). Also, I think you might find these to be helpful. And this stuff I just think looks cool I'd rp, if I wasn't bad at coming up with characters that weren't gary stus. Most every character usually has one glaring shortcoming and it's always like :feelsgn: and it's always really core, main characters that are well rounded enough to keep everyone together. Like Lon'qu inability to deal with women. That one had me rolling my eyes. Vapid Vaike, Ghost Kellam, shy dancer olivia, nightstalker tharja, insincere silver tongue Virion, stickler for rules knight, that kid who wants to grow up right now, the scooby snack assassin, Flo-bot mage, the sheltered noble, kirby knight (the one that eats everything), the one who lives at the gym (sully), the scrooge merchant, foreveryoungsyndrome...
  20. This has been my pick me up song lately. If there's only one song you stop to listen to in this post, it should be this one. Homegrown Honey- Darius Rucker I had no idea this was a Taylor Swift song until I looked it up. As She's Walking Away- Zac Brown Band Favorite Song by this artist. Emu (For My Dear)- Gackt
  21. Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild, I'll take a sip of that smile~
