Chat Thread 37: Diss Wants to Be Involved

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Wed May 30, 2012 4:53 am

Diss has spoken.

My first system was a Play station. I remember having Harry Potter and Spyro, which was awesome because spyro was so radicool.

not anymore though >:|

We probably also had a racing game or something.

I hear in the news there are earthquakes in Italy again. You doing okay, Valerio?

I hope he's alright, and others.
Recent EQs happened in Italy are scientifically weird.

I had both those games, weird. But my big game was Metal Gear Solid, one of the best series of games I have ever played.

So, today, my alarm clock didn't go off, and nobody realized I was home, so I missed school today.

I apparently really don't like alarms, they never wake me up, even at full blast...
On a side note I started making a meat smoker yesterday out of a 55 gallon drum that I bought. Made a hobo fire in it which I kept hot and going for 5 and a half hours to burn off whatever coating was inside, and burn off the outside paint. Let it cool and painted part of it (Did this at a friends but it got late.)
Hopefully I can finish painting it today.. But I ran out of money so I can't even finish the darn thing completely! XD

Random stuff:
I do not like Pokemon, I mean it's good and well made but I don't like it's ethic of treating animal.
making their own pet injured and call that a friendship between human and pokemon, pfff. we don't train dogs to fight against other dogs. and no one can dodge thunderbolt, it's speed of light.

imagine housepet in Pokemon universe.
Grape, select attack - use Broom in the face attack- Bino is badly wounded.

My first console was the video game thread.

Bino uses dog treats. It's super effective!

On alarm clocks, I used to keep mine far enough away from the bed that I had to get up to turn it off. Very effective, though it helps that I'm a light sleeper. Now I wake up before it goes off.

Coincidentally, at around this very time Naboo was under an attack.

Quick let me invade this with stuff going on in my universe. *shot* Here's a pic of the smoker after I finished painting it.

Pokémon seem to like it though! They're never significantly injured.

unless you count a certain lonely pokemon, its mom is the kenny of the pokemon verse.

or yamask....

Post by **Sleet** » Thu May 31, 2012 12:46 am

Yamask is just terrifying.

and it used to be human

Post by **Sleet** » Thu May 31, 2012 1:30 am

That's exactly why it's terrifying.

What's up with that FA redesign? D:

Post by **Sleet** » Thu May 31, 2012 11:11 am

I dunno, I guess websites just change appearances. It's not really giving me any trouble.

Liam · Post by **Liam** » Thu May 31, 2012 12:42 pm

I'm just saying, they could have hired a professional web designer instead of an IT first-semester, couldn't they?

Post by **Dissension** » Thu May 31, 2012 1:16 pm

That probably depends on how much of their budget was allocated to the redesign and the level of confidence the administrators had in that "IT first-semester," particularly given it is possible to gain Web design experience without having a college degree in information technology.

Considering FA is the only product of an LLC you would think they're willing to invest enough dough to keep it competitively viable, especially since their server upkeep costs only a third or so of DA's.

But it sure helps to deliver something better than early Geocities aesthetics.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Thu May 31, 2012 3:02 pm

The makeover was to help improve it's self esteem.

Thu May 31, 2012 3:05 pm

shame on you for insulting it. Now it feels fat and ugly and old.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Thu May 31, 2012 3:22 pm

IS it fat and ugly and old? Maybe he's just being bluntly honest because he's trying to be a good friend.

Sounds familiar. Hummmm where have I ever heared of this kind of story before???

Is FA good place to visit?

Post by **Sleet** » Thu May 31, 2012 4:26 pm

FA is not really at risk of losing market share, honestly. But I don't think this is a problem. The interface is fine to me.

Only if your settings disable adult content.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu May 31, 2012 6:13 pm

It's basically DeviantArt for furry content only, so whether it's a good place to visit depends on if you like furry art.

Also there are copious amounts of creepy fetishy art of the least tasteful kind as well as plenty of users who are fetishy and creepy and the least tasteful kind of furry.

the mature content filter should take care of most of the art (but something can be creepy and distasteful without being naked let me tell you something) and usually you won't run into any contact with the more annoying parts of the fandom unless you talk to them first, though that's not always the case.

Or, in other words, it's like DeviantArt.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu May 31, 2012 9:11 pm

Turn the filter on and never talk to anyone ever and you'll be mostly free from gross and idiotic. :3

Mostly.

But nah, in all seriousness, FA isn't really terrifying with the filter on.

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Thu May 31, 2012 9:14 pm

Post by **Sleet** » Thu May 31, 2012 9:25 pm

Okay, guys, we've covered the unsavory parts of FA. We don't need to continue mentioning it. The filter is on by default, after all.

0404 · Post by **0404** » Thu May 31, 2012 9:29 pm

Ok, I got the point and all the info that I need for now. I'll just try my best not to step on mines of crepiness.
