  1. So, I've been playing Violin for Seven years now. I want to quit.

     

    I hate practicing on my own. Even when I play a piece perfectly, I end up feeling no satisfaction at all.

     

    Every time I finish a piece in a concert, I'm glad that It ends. When the piece is excessively long, I'm like "Good Lord, just end already".

     

    I remember when I started private lessons in 5th grade. I was so Excited. I could play a Violin! I had a passion for the Violin back then. That passion has all but faded.

     

    Sometimes, I'll play a tune that I liked, such as Final Fantasy VII's main theme, on the Violin by ear. This is really the only thing that I enjoy about Violin anymore. Playing random things that I heard.  But even it gets old, and I would rather spend my time listening to the actual tracks online.

     

    When I go to college, I'm quitting. I only stick with my High School Orchestra right now because I've been told that "Commitment looks good on your application". Whether that is true or not, I would not know.

      I have never played Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I have heard them before.

       

      The closest I've ever gotten to emotional about the Violin was MGS4's love them. I swear, as I played the theme on the Violin, I could close my eyes and see the trucks heading towards the Middle Eastern War Zone. Maybe this Anime will change that. I'll give it a try.

      I hope it does! I admire musicians for all their dedication. I want to get myself dedicated enough to seriously practise on my guitar one day...

       

      Let me know if watching this helped you! :)

      As an amateur guitarist (I compose and arrange stuff, I'm second year in college), my advice for both of you is to just do what you feel like :D Everyone has times that they do not feel any passion at all. I too, had times that the only thing that can triggers my passion is playing random things that I found good while listening to a youtube playlist :D 

       

      However I really don't recommend "quitting". You can just leave it at that, no? Because there will be a time when you would want to pick up the fiddle once again, trust me :D

       

      I would suggest you both find a community of the subject in your area :D Having with friends with the same interest always feels better than being alone :( 

       

      srsly after 12 years of playing pokemon alone i finally found a dude that gets what i'm talking about

  2. What the heck? I thought the Rejuvenation port was for Rejuvenation Only? I might try it. EDIT: It actually worked. I cannot believe it. Maybe the Scripts for Reborn 16 will work for 17 as well.
  3. Darn. So, will we have to go back to version 16, get our debugging done there, and then go back to V17? But I understand, KisuoX. Real Life always comes first. I never did manage to enable Debug Mode on desolation, even with Gemini. So, I'll wait until I can pay for RPG Maker.
  4. It isn't that big of a Jump, but seeing that It's more than halfway done makes me feel as if it all went by way too fast. Than again, 2017 went by rather quick too. I became a legal adult, Emoji movie, anticipation for a new Star Wars, Trump has been president for a year now. It feels as if the anticipation for Version 9, and Jan's computer breaking down, and the heartwarming "thank you" that Jan gave the community, weren't that long ago. And that all the discussions we had were fairly recent. It also feels as if Version 10's development cycle started one week ago. I'd be surprised if it were 60% done.
  5. My Idea for a fangame that I mentioned previously, about scientists replicating the process used to create mewtwo in order to clone the Pokemon Champion, and the created clone hunting down and killing his dad, in order to validate his own existence?

     

     

    A lot of my Ideas are Cheap Metal Gear Ripoffs. The main character's motivations are stolen straight from Liquid Snake. 

  6. My pokemon fan game's main character is bisexual. Where is my critical acclaim?

  7. I don't care how bad this movie is, The fact that the former governor of California is making these laughably bad Ice Puns was more than worth the money I payed for the movie on DVD.

     

    Just look at Arnold. He's having the time of his life in this performance. He's more convincing than George Clooney, in this movie at least.

      And isn't that a big part of movies too? that the actors can just have fun while playing the characters?

  8. Random Thought: I think that some of the locations bear a similar atmosphere to locations in other games. For Example: Indriad's Mansion feels like Hope's Peak Academy. It looks comfortable, but to get out, you have to participate in various "trials". Blacksteeple Castle feels like Shadow Moses Island. The Cold Atmosphere, the feeling that there are many secrets on the Island, Even the feeling of Containment. Sheridan Village is like Kakariko Village. This one is self explanatory.
  9. So now Lucario can use Meteor Mash?

     

     

     

    I prefer Meteor Mash over Iron tail due to higher accuracy.

      Yep. Though you have to get a Smeargle that knows it in order to breed a riolu with it

      Not too big of a problem.

      yup. pretty nice Buff tbh. Still waiting in that Aura Sphere Gardevoir tho... IT MAKES SENSE FOR IT TO GET THAT MOVE GAMEFREAK!

  10. Adolf Hitler x Benito Mussolini is the best ship ever.

      Given their actual stances towards another, it would sink faster than the HMS Hood.

    2. Filthy Casual

      Still a better love story than Twilight, which is also a better love story than Sonic 06.

  11. Game Freak should set Pokemon Generation 8 in North Korea.

     

    We Already have Alohan mons, which look like they have been mutated due to nuclear testing.

     

    The champion could be Kim Jong Un, who is also the dictator of the region.

      france =/= Benelux tho. and I personally really like Kalos

      laggless01

      India/Nepal would be cool, too. Religious tales (especially from polytheistic ones) can lead to lots of creative designs. The setting could even be paralleled to a time where those religions (buddhism/hinduism) literally fought one another.

      From when is France Middle-Europe? : D Middle is Slovakia,South-Poland,Czech Republic,Hungary,Austria and such...

  12. Did you know that Videogames are responsible for more deaths than anything else ever combined?

     

     

     

     

     

    Yes, I am counting virtual deaths, but that should be fine in a biased PSA.

    1. Combat

      Combat

      I mean, a whole lot of people got killed in A New Hope, and that's just one movie...

    2. FairFamily

      FairFamily

      What about imagination? I'm pretty sure there are more deaths in imagination than in video games.

      when I read this at first I thought you were quoting "experts" who did "research" on it

  13. Whenever he makes significant progress, he updates. I honestly prefer that he finishes the next version in the summer of 2018, because school is done, and I don't have to worry about homework or tests.
  14. Which would be cheaper?

     

    Investing money into schools so that we can rely on a less standardized, more enjoyable, and more usable form of education?

     

    Or paying kids for good grades? Say, A's gives $100 per class, B's give $80, C's give $60, and D's and F's require you to retake and get a C, meaning you get $60. Money is distributed at the end of the quarter.

      Not like the Government would care to do either. But I'm almost out of high school. As soon as I get out, It isn't really my problem anymore. Good waste of 4 years. I don't know any Pre Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, or any real information in those classes anymore. Just that the Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the Cell. And that wasn't because of Biology, that was because of the Internet. I passed all of the classes with As.

      I didn't learn to be independent, or anything resembling responsibility. If I had gotten paid for going to school, than those 8 hours of class time might have been worth it. And don't say that I had the option of dropping out; a lot of us had parents who put us through a lot of pressure to finish high school. I am not even sure if I used that Semi-colon correctly. Great Job, English class.

       

      Most of the Information that I remember was learned outside of the classroom. 

  15. To be fair, the Movie is a little bit better than the book.

     

    That isn't saying much. It's still atrocious.

      I'm a virgin teenager, and i bet even I could write a more arousing explicit scene than what's in this movie. Not that i've tried. Because I haven't. Let the FSOG fanbase's rage commence.

       

       

       

      And yes. the fanbase does exist.

      Either way, it's a repurposed Twilight (lemon) fanfiction, which makes it a worse love story than Twilight, by default 

    3. ShadeStrider

      Masters of the Universe was the original Fanfiction. It's about as awful as you would expect. I read the whole thing.

  16. Enjoying Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, Eh, Jan?

  17. To change sprites or not to change sprites, That is the Question.
  18. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the best Elder Scrolls game.

     

    I acknowledge that Morrowind had better RPG mechanics. But Oblivion was the best in terms of Environment and Story. 

     

    Skyrim, for me, takes second place. But I think that Oblivion deserves a remaster.

      I love Oblivion, and do think it needs a remaster, but Skyrim wins me over just because the modding scene is so much bigger. Except for the creation club of course.

       

      Is the story and gameplay imperfect? Yes. But is it insanely fun to get lost in the world? Also yes. 

       

      Plus if I ever have to do that persuasion minigame again in Oblivion, I'll probably gnaw my own leg off.

      Would you recommend oblivion to a skyrim fan?

    4. ShadeStrider

      ShadeStrider

      It would largely be based on the person's skyrim playstyle. For example, If you like to use Shouts or you love having an extreme supply of arrows, then you might not like Oblivion, because in Oblivion, You can't Shout, and Arrows have weight, meaning you can't over rely on arrows unless you want to be overencumbered.

  19. February 2018 seems so close, yet so far away... I cannot wait to hear the next part of the story. But It looks like i'll have to.
  20.  Snake's Codec was and will always be better than Palutena's Guidance.

     

    I know that some people complained that Snake was Out-of-place in Brawl. To me, that's what make the codec conversations charming and fun. We get to see the "Serious" characters like Snake, Roy Campbell, Otacon, and Mei Ling Comment on the Weird world of Nintendo. 

     

    But in Palutena's Guidance, we have Palutena and Pit, Two characters who actually fit in. This makes the conversations less interesting, since such characters are used to weird situations and enemies.

     

    I still want Snake back in Smash. People would complain about him being "Out of Place", but now we have Bayonetta and Ryu.

      i really love the kid icarus characters and all, but i have to agree with this!! #bringbacksnake2k17

  21. Breaking Bad is kind of like a Shakespearian Tragedy.

     

    You have the first season, which is the first act that uses Humor to introduce us to the characters, as well as establish relationships.

     

    Then, Dark things happen throughout the next four acts (Seasons), until it finally ends with the death of

    Spoiler

    Walter White/Macbeth.

     

    But this similarity is very vague, and could apply to a number of other things.

  22.  

    This was the first Playstation 2 Video Game that I ever Owned. 

     

    When I was Little, I would run home from school, every day, and start up my playstation 2. Skipping this Intro was not an option. Sometimes I watched the Intro Ten Times before playing the actual game.

     

    The Intro does a good job of tricking you into thinking you are playing as Snake, when in fact, you're actually playing as Raiden for most of the game.

     

    I also admit that as a first grader, I didn't understand the story. But I liked the Music and found the gameplay fun, so I kept playing. I only understood the story after replaying it as a teenager.
