I'd love some cool novelty t-shirts with pictures of, like, my fursona and/or my logo on them.

I dunno about having any quotes on them, though.

So, who's hyped for the third season of Star Wars Rebels?

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 12:48 am

I have a ton of T-shirts! They're like my default casual clothes. I try to make sure they've got some style to them, though. T-shirts that are just words are ugh.

Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:19 am

most of my T-shirts are from TV shows and video games, and I get them all either at conventions or Hot Topic. I took a big suitcase with me to college, it was like 75% T-shirts.

I love graphic T-shirts! Every superhero movie I have been to, I wear an appropriate shirt if I can find one.
I am a tad uncomfortable with myself so many of my shirts aren't fancy. but I have perhaps 5 shirts that have something on them.

I need more Marvel shirts, as well some Nintendo stuff like maybe Pikachu or something...

I own shirts.
I wear clothes.

I have a pseudo-metal band shirt with Sif from Dark Souls on it.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Jul 23, 2016 10:33 pm

I currently own three shirts that say Coast Guard on them for civilian use. The only thing stopping me from buying more is the fact that I own enough shirts to not do laundry for like, two straight months. And that's assuming I use one every day, which I don't because I have to wear my uniform on work days. I'm probably going to try thinning out my T-shirt stockpile sometime soon and before you know it, I'll fatten it right back up with more Coast Guard stuff.

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Sat Jul 23, 2016 11:42 pm

Oooh, you work as a coastguard, Jeff?

Got any interesting/humourous stories from the job?

The Blue Fox wrote:Oooh, you work as a coastguard, Jeff?

Yes. Actually, that's the reason I'm no longer a mod. No internet in boot camp meant I couldn't do anything, and as of right now, I'm stationed on a 270 foot long boat. We're in home port right now so I have regular internet access, but when we go out to sea I don't (At least not for use on stuff like this). If my next unit is a land unit, I'll probably become more active on a regular basis and if the need comes, I can mod again (assuming Diss would still want me). With the last round of promotions though, things seem to be handled pretty well.

As far as stories go, I can't say I have many outside of boot camp. I do have quite a few that were from in boot camp though.

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Sun Jul 24, 2016 10:51 am

Oh right I forgot about your big announcement post about being too busy to be a mod anymore. My memory sucks. :/

Alrighty, Let's hear some boot camp stories then.

Oh boy boot camp stories. I've a few of my own, not too interesting, just a lot of yelling and messing up then getting yelled at again.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 7:41 pm

I could probably go about a month without doing laundry and that's about it!

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Fri Aug 05, 2016 7:08 am

Ever done that thing where you decide you're going to go to sleep after reading the current chapter of a story, only to realize when you're three books further into the series that the sun is coming up and you haven't slept yet?

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Aug 06, 2016 8:56 am

Nah. Last night I told myself I'd go to sleep at the end of the chapter, and I did that. Self control, yay!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sat Aug 06, 2016 10:51 am

I often find myself up until 3 when I intended to go to bed by 1.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sun Aug 07, 2016 12:39 am

I re-read so often that sometimes a chapter takes the entire night.

Sun Aug 07, 2016 12:48 am

I haven't read an actual book other than for school in a while.

but sometimes that happens with comics or manga for me

The Swing Wing, when you just have a little too much time on your hands. Catchy tune though.

I see that and all I think is "wizz wizz it's time to wazz" from Ed Edd n' Eddy.probably based on that.

Meanwhile here I was forced to update from Windows 3.1 because of Rick Griffin

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Aug 15, 2016 11:57 pm

Wh... why is anyone running 3.1?

Don't you know? Windows 95 is horribly bloated. It needs 40 whole MB of disk space!

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 16, 2016 11:25 pm

Yeah I barely have room for that with all my folders of Beck concert bootlegs filling up my terabyte hard drive.

Unusuallynamedperson · Wed Aug 17, 2016 1:58 am

Um...why just why? 95/98 are completely outdated and there's so much you can't do anymore.
then again...anything is better then 7

Just now, there are 76 people online..

that is not windows 98.
You have system tray icons and a quicklaunch bar, those features shouldn't be there yet.

Objection!
Do you happen to have a weak computer? Maybe's that.
Or that you have a non genuine copy of Windows 7 (srsly, pirated copies of W7 function a lot worse than 2000 and ME combined)

Maybe you're talking about W95, the one in the screenshot is Windows 98.

Don't worry, that's just a virtual machine

Unusuallynamedperson · Thu Aug 18, 2016 11:25 am

7 is exactly the same as vista except with more taken out! If it came out first people would hate it just as much.

Well, at least is not as intrusive as Vista (that's what I hear)

Unusuallynamedperson · Thu Aug 18, 2016 11:45 am

When it came out, now I have both and I prefer the modern patched vista over 7 plus it looks nicer and oddly enough takes less power and less space.

Post by **Obbl** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 5:44 pm

7 suffers from bloat moreso than vista, but vista was just annoying to me. I don't really remember specifically what I didn't like, but I remember when I got 7 thinking, "Oh, thank goodness, it's better." Better or worse is, of course, subjective, but I recall a lot of people agreeing with that sentiment both at the beginning and well into its run

Course I haven't seen either of them in quite some time, so it's possible that patching Vista improves it significantly.

Unusuallynamedperson · Thu Aug 18, 2016 6:13 pm

It does, I did so personally. And it's really not a bad O/S once its been repaired a little bit and some stuff is added in giving you more control, and the updates make it beautiful in comparison to what it was.

Fri Aug 19, 2016 2:22 am

I actually didn't run into any problems with vista or 7.

Unusuallynamedperson · Fri Aug 19, 2016 2:28 am

I remember when 7 came out I tried running several IDEs and Dev kits, and it didn't support anything. II hated using it and it still is not in my faces list, if you want anO/S for nothing but home usage then I suppose its OK, but when it comes to work purposes you'd be better off with Linux or an old version of windows.

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Fri Aug 19, 2016 2:31 am

A fair few times before now, I've come across people complaining that Vista is, like, the worst Windows OS ever...I've had it on my old laptop for a good number of years...and I have no idea what people are on about...I mean, the only issue I had with Vista was the Windows Updates not installing for some reason so I ALWAYS got the "there are updates that need to be installed" notification.

Doesn't matter now. I got a much better desktop computer with Windows 10.
