  1. I've learned more about astronomy from Kerbal Space Program in 3 days than I have from class in 3 weeks, and this is a game where days last 6 hours each and the home planet's orbital velocity is less than 1/10 that of Earth's.
  2. Family trying to force me to go to church for Easter, despite the fact that I've made it abundantly clear I don't get anything out of it. Not only that, but they expect me to dress nicely. My justification for not doing so: "If I'm going to church I'm going to at least make it look like I need Jesus" Regardless, I'm going with this hardcore American flag t-shirt so I can really be in the spirit of a bible belt Easter. 'Murica
  3. vhSg3JUVypw Oh nothing, just amazing music from Nightwish's newly released album.
  4. Pokémon X, no access to a PC but this will suffice regardless.
  5. I didn't get to hear the "fuck off, windows!" when we played league :<

    This just in! Apparently my fucking AQR teacher decides teaching us how to compile a fucking quarterback rating is a useful skill and valuable enough information to give us a fucking group project on that's DUE ON THE SAME DATE AS MY FUCKING RESEARCH PAPER.

    I don't normally agree with you on anything, but you so perfectly reflected my thoughts with that post. They put so much emphasis on grades rather than actually making sure the students are actually learning the material. I'm not even one to complain about core subjects like algebra and physics being totally useless since it really depends upon what field you want to go in to, it's just that the whole approach to it all is such bullshit and that's what renders it all completely useless. Not to mention a growing number of students (high school and college, both) are becoming more stressed than anything particularly when it comes down to assignments and such. But I should probably finish this rough draft rather than rambling on about how the education system is bullshit because no matter how bad it is, it's still something I'm required to put up with and this essay determines whether or not I'll have to put up with it another year.

    Honestly, is the goal of our education system even to fucking teach students? Right now it feels like their goal is to stress us the fuck out and make sure we feel like complete failures at everything we do. Like, you could accuse me of complaining about not being able to continue my habits of laziness and procrastination like your average high school senior, but you really have to draw the line somewhere and I think it's reasonable to say that I've passed that somewhere by about 50 fucking miles. Okay, I'm completely fine with getting difficult assignments, I'm not okay with getting difficult assignments that can weigh my grade down so heavily that I could fail my entire senior year if I fuck up, and I'm DEFINITELY NOT FUCKING OKAY with the the fact that when I got this assignment more time was spent stressing the importance of following the fucking guidelines than actually explaining the fucking guidelines, and the fact that the due date for the rough draft I have to write for it is the day after it was assigned. I could write this shit in an hour, 4 pages, no problem right? Not with how fucking poorly everything was explained. I have to constantly Google this to make sure I'm not making any mistakes because I keep telling myself that just one will screw me over for the whole year and if that's the whole point of how shit's supposed to work in this system, I'm not fucking okay with it.

    Did you just completely miss the point of what he said? A theory is the best you can get as far as explaining natural phenomena without it being an actual law of nature. Gravity is "just a theory", try explaining how that one's totally false.
  10. Yeah it's particularly bad with metal and EDM fans. Like you'll have people on knife party songs complaining about how knife party doesn't make dubstep anymore. Like no shit? The whole point of the knife party project was experimentation. Half of knife party's new album made fun of fans for that reason, they do nothing but complain about the content. Rammstein's work back in the 90s was great but LIFAD was by no means a bad album, hell, Anette wasn't an amazing addition to Nightwish but Imaginaerum was a damn good album and Nightwish's most popular for a reason. People have a hard time accepting change and it just bothers me.
  11. Payday 2, and Rollercoaster Tycoon before that.
  12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etzyscd_Sqg Finding TotalBiscuit in an unlikely place
  13. Lan Wake The sequel to the 2010 survival horror game Alan Wake, now with local mutiplayer.
  14. Civilization V: Brave New Word The new and highly anticipated expansion to Civilization features a buff to libraries. That's it.
  15. A shitty $60 razer headset with a microphone that doesn't work with my computer. Still using my webcam as a microphone, just found it again last night actually. Who is your waifu and give me one reason she isn't shit?
  16. 42! Yes! I knew it! Now what was the question again?

    Someone had to say it and I think you said it 100% perfectly. Tumblr, you have your heart in the right place, but there's a point where you should have stopped and you're quite far past it.
  18. I'm 99% sure it's against forum rules to even do as BTG said, just send it through PM to whoever asks for it.
