Welp... I mostly judge classes by how cool their animations look, always have, always will. And I base those on a character to character basis. Sure a character/class may be strong, but if their animations and designs look janky I'm not gonna use you. Some standout animations are Ephraim: Lyn (with the Sol Kati specifically) Myrrh from Sacred Stones And Pegasus Knights always look cool... Oh and a final shout-out to Zephiel and Guinevere for being awesome.

I'd say this is a foolproof plan, but I'm slightly afraid my local library will send assassins or the like to find me if I return a book too late... Librarians are scary. (Besides, if you have to replace something you've lost to a library, it's twice the original price, and the fines for being late are kinda insane... So I'd rather not try). I remember once needing a book badly for a project I was writing a few years back, and it was soon overdue. But I decided to keep it two days more since I needed it badly. The library sent me a 20$ fine and blocked me from using the library until it was paid. Mind you, it was returned 2 days late. I'd shudder to think what would've happened had I returned it 3 days late, much less 4...

How would one go about stealing a game disc, or anything in a library for that matter? You need to present the game disc to confirm the return, just like with books. 1: 14 days at a time, but you can extend the duration as long as no one in line to get the game after you, which isn't always possible for the more popular games. 2: I don't use the service very much anymore, but when I did I never had a non-functioning game disc. Though I reckon games get removed from circulation if it's reported that they've been damaged.

Well, in Danish we use a word directly translates to "loan" when we take things from the library (the same used when getting money from a bank), but people seem to misunderstand the word when I've used it, so I used rent because it seemed more appropriate. But it does have the connotation that you pay for something, when in fact, libraries are free, outside of being paid for by taxes. Perhaps borrow is the correct term to use... Welp didn't think I'd get to argue semantics today.

@HongaarseBeer97I see. I checked the amount available over here. 407 PS4 games, 1318 PS3 games, 1017 PS2 games, 704 Wii games, 308 Xbox One games, and a bunch of others I didn't bother checking. It's surprisingly a lot, though do note that we often get games multiple languages and some entries may be duplicates. So I think you could remove 1/2 of the games to get a more accurate number. I would love if other countries also pitched in. Especially the state of other Scandinavian libraries could be interesting, and from Germany too.

As in whether I daydream a lot? No, never. I'll continue the chocolate question. Do you love chocolate?

I don't know if you have an online platform to browse materials available from all libraries in the country at once, but if you have it may be easier that way. I doubt most new games are available for rental in libraries, as they tend to get rented quite quickly. But otherwise, thanks a lot.

Well, it's more like, books/games/movies get distributed to various libraries, but not to all. And then you can get them sent to your local library by ordering them online. It wouldn't surprise me if the Netherlands had a similar library system in terms of offerings. It's be great if you, or someone else could confirm it, as I'd love to know how similar the library systems are in our two countries. Haha, I kinda realised earlier today when I saw your handwritten notes. Greetings to you, fellow citizen of this cold dreary country. In either case, it's a great alternative to buying games, especially for kids and people without the means to buy new games, so despite not using the service too much anymore, I love that it's available. On a sidenote, I just found out today that you can rent Board-Games from our libraries in Denmark... I may or may not have compiled a list of 74 games I need to rent at some point

So, I've been think for quite a while... I'm quite happy with the library services in Denmark, and the huge assortment of games available for rental here. Most new games are available for rental shortly after release, and the library and back catalogue of games stretches from current to PS1 era games. Among newer games, they've got Horizon Zero Dawn, Yakuza-0, Tales of Bersaria, Digimon New World Order and Resident Evil, from the past few months, all in dozens of copies around the country. Alternatively, I could borrow all the Final Fantasy Games for PS1 if I wanted to and much more Sadly not all consoles are available, and typically Playstation games have been the primary focus, with WiiU and 3DS lacking in as large variety. But in general, I'm glad that such a huge selection is available for rental. This got me thinking, is the rental of games in such variety and amount also a thing in other countries? When I was younger I pretty much only played games through rentals in Libraries and thus got to play a ton of games despite being able to afford very few. ... Perhaps I'm overthinking it and this type of service is available everywhere.

Fake Movie Sequels 2! Electric Boogaloo

Not particularly. Lacking thumbs would be a huge hindrance in my day to day life. If you lived in the Pokémon world, would you rather want to be a level 1 Arceus that couldn't level up, over a level 100 IV trained Bidoof with a soulbound Everstone?

I haven't been on these forums for all that long (my 1 year anniversary is coming up :D), so I have some trouble understanding exactly in which ways these forums have changed. Naturally it's gotten less playful over the past 6 months and there are fewer meme posts, though that can perhaps be attributed to ISCW kinda stopped making her posts in the Wasteland *sadface*. And the forum has become more about the game, with trading and battle threads becoming a daily thing. But otherwise, could you perhaps elaborate on the change in mentality that has occurred, and which exact changes you want people to oppose and call people out on? Kurotsune said many of the same things you said a while back in his AMA, so I'm genuinely curious about the changes multiple veterans of these forums dislike. If you feel like you don't want to comment on it here, I wouldn't mind if you gave a further elaboration over PM.

Xenoblade Chronicles was an amazing gem, and wasn't just the best JRPG on the Wii, but also among my favorite JRPG's of all time. Xenoblade Chronicles X was a disappointment with weak characters and a too spacious overworld with an unfinished story lacking any coherent narrative. If just Xenoblade 2 can improve on the gameplay of X and incorporate the level-structure and story of Chronicles, we'll hopefully have another hit on our hands, because I do genuinely hope this game succeeds. Question is though, how can they continue the story of Xenoblade Chronicles considering the ending of Chronicles was so final and wrapped everything up... Perhaps it's just a sequel in name only.

Fascinating, thanks for posting it. In my first comment, I was referring to stress being a minor or nonexistent risk factor in the development of IHD. Acute stress can trigger AMI, but you'd already need to be at risk of it occurring. Still, glad to see we've got another reason to remove DST. On that note, may I ask you were reading cardiology research papers?

What did you have in mind? I'm curious.

I like my current life very much, thank you. I'd probably hate living at any point in the past due to a lack of internet and video-games. It could be interesting living in the far future, but due to the uncertainty of the life I'd have, I think I'll chose to stay where I am. Edit, that ninja.... Your question isn't a yes or no question, but I guess Advice Mallard is a good one, that or the Good Guy Greg meme. I don't really look at memes much. Is it important to be a humble person?

I don't know. From a mathematical point of view it was a marvellous experience, it's a cosy and nice. But not too terribly breathtaking compared to other places in Spain. It doesn't help that Granada doesn't have many other places to visit outside the Alhambra. In case you're visiting Spain for the first time, I can recommend Barcelona as the better destination. Again, the Alhambra is great and a mathematical wonder that sadly too few people appreciate for all its glory. But Barcelona is hands down the more interesting place.

This is certainly an interesting expression, could someone from France provide me with the original saying/proverb? Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Wha, you mean that day where we for some reason roll put our clocks one way forward that most people forget, has an impact on heart disease⸮ Preposterous. On a side note, TIL (a few days ago actually) that stress is actually a very low-risk factor in heart disease, so I'm genuinely interested in finding out why it leads to increased heart attacks, @Arkhicould you perhaps link me to the study where you found out the piece of information? And now onto something I actually learned today: TIL that an irony sign exists, it looks like this ⸮. Cool huh? (⸮)

Yup, it's from the Minions movie. And OP forgot to include the ->"Oh"<-, way to go guys, we killed the original Way to ruin the whole quote⸮ On a sidenote, TIL that there is an irony sign, it looks like this ⸮

I generally dislike sleep. Sleeping is the great enemy, and we must always stay vigilant against the tyranny of sleep. So no, I don't dislike waking up early, in fact I welcome it. I would sleep less than I already do if it didn't impact my productivity. Am I the only one who misses the existential questions from earlier?

May I recommend getting a Microsoft Surface, since it combines keyboard and pen. That way you can use the keyboard to take notes, and the pen to draw things. It's very handy. And it doesn't surprise me that people remember more when taking notes by hand. It's slower and therefore engages you more as you have to focus more on taking notes. But at the same time. But without having anything to back this up, I think that if you wrote notes for 90 minutes by hand, or took notes digitally for 60 minutes, and having gone through the same amount of material, and then used 30 minutes to memorise your notes, you'd be able to learn and remember more stuff. Viri, you have to realise that when you have to take around >100k words in notes per semester, it's highly impractical to do so by hand, as keeping track of all the notes gets increasingly difficult. At that point writing things digitally is the only option, as it allows me to write notes faster, easily search through them for keywords, and doesn't cost me a small fortune in notebooks. In addition I can easily use the notes as a basis for the creation of flashcards which is my preferred form of learning. So no, I don't have a special affinity for pens outside of their artistic value, as a beautifully crafted pen is truly a magnificent things to behold.

To people who have decided to write their notes by hand, what made you choose to write by hand over doing so on a computer?

Uhm... This is awkward. All my notes are written digitally. I didn't know people still wrote this by hand in this day and age...
