Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[Steo]

It's never really been a secret which county I'm from. It's on my Steam profile after all. Still, now I'm even happier to have a green username.

I never knew... but then again I never asked either

I also never thought of giving anyone my steam profile. I don't really play online but just for the hell of it more or less.

[The Jonster]

+ I'm feeling much better, thanks guys
+ Just needed something spicy to give me a boost!
+ I think I'm going to do something I haven't done in a long time: I'm going to watch some anime!

[Alexinator]

- Already on the last level of RRR GBA. This game is very short lol

+ Trying to learn Irish

[Steo]

+ Trying to learn Irish

+/- I wish I knew more Irish myself, I only know very basic things in Irish

[The Jonster]

--- For some reason I couldn't sleep last night and slept from 4-8, and then from 9-11.
-- I'm a little worried that this is going to screw up my sleep schedule.
- I blame the freaking diet soda.
+ I feel like Steo a little, sleeping and waking up late.
+ I'm ok though, I've been through a lot worse before.
+ This reminds me of my Uni days, hehe!
+ I got my Virtualbox and my Linux Mint version installed, so that's great!

[Steo]

+ I just seen ^'s sig
+ I'm going to install Windows XP on the spare computer for now just to mess about with it since I brought it in from the shed.
+ When I get a better PSU for it, I'll put a GPU into it and use it to play with Linux. I have a spare Radeon HD6950 somewhere that should do for it when it's running Linux.
+ Right now the PC has no purpose fo me the way it is and my PC is too modern for XP so I'll use that PC for XP and have some nostalgia
+ It might be fun to mess around with the Rayman games too on it using XP even though the i3 graphics will suck

[Aaron]

+ I recently made a drawing of the Griskin from Rayman 3.
+ I just thought of making some more drawings.

[The Jonster]

+ I just seen ^'s sig

- Damn I realize I put signature instead of special.
++ Oh and my congrats again!

+ Ehhh, I love my Joe rank for now. It suits me.
+/- I don't want to be hoarding special ranks, I wonder if I can just give some of mine to other people? At this rate it'll keep stacking.
+ Maybe someday I'll want to change my rank to a special one. Maybe I'll get mine changed before RD.
+/- Though I am now free to host the TTQ with a clear mind, I still have things to do. Videos, that R2 guide, and "those".

[LoveMetal]

Nope, no ranks giveaway.

It's fine to keep your current rank if you like it!

[Steo]

+ I'm joking anyway, it just means you'll have a few special ranks saved up and won't have to try win a quiz out of desperation for a rank
+/- I've used all of mine, but if I can host the TGK quiz I'll have another. Not that I need it but it's cool to have one for if I want it.
+ Hopefully I don't ask stupid questions on it

[LoveMetal]

+ With new members it's usually the reverse: they keep asking for a special rank (bonus points for non-rayman related). So it's cool to see a change.

[The Jonster]

+ It's not the special rank that entices me to do the contests and games, it's competing with everyone that's fun to me.
- Although I did have a habit of being overcompetitive and overconfident when I first played.
+ I think I've gotten over it now for the most part.

+ Watching a show, heh, reminds me of my childhood.

+ I'm joking anyway, it just means you'll have a few special ranks saved up and won't have to try win a quiz out of desperation for a rank

+ Hopefully I don't ask stupid questions on it

+ Haha that's true.
+ Nah, that's not really possible. Especially if you don't ask a question that sounds like kids should know this.

[Steo]

+/- A bit of competition is fun, but when people go over the top and get too competitive, not only does it stop being fun for that person, but to everyone else competing too especially if that person resorts to win by all means (cheating).
+ I don't care if I'm not the best at everything. I know I'm good at some things and others are better at others, so I have nothing to prove really. I just want to have some fun by participating.
+ You'll also notice I don't gloat when I do win at something, with the exception of figuring out the Rayman 3 widescreen stuff etc. That's different though.

+/- Bottom line is nobody likes a cheater, so personally the next time I catch someone cheating in something like a quiz/ROTG (people also often edit answers ), I'll probably just stop participating in them and just stick to posting about tech and Rayman.

+/- I'll probably never hear the end of it for saying this but it's only because it's true. Steo is a very honest person

[The Jonster]

+ I'm glad to hear that about you
+ Aside from that one time, no I don't cheat to win and I haven't needed to, I'm already good enough knowing what I know, and I feel I will probably learn more when I continue playing Rayman.
+/- I think lately I've been slowly paying less and less attention to some of the game threads and spending more time talking about Rayman like I feel like I should be doing, and finding ways to help the community more than just endlessly posting on here and most likely annoying the crap out of anybody.
+/- I did recall myself once saying that I didn't care whether my posts were excessive...
- I think that part of me has changed with the short amount of time I've been here.
+ I've never forgotten about the guides and the walkthroughs i've talked about, when I'm ready I'll talk to you guys about it

[Steo]

+ Winners never cheat and cheaters never win!
+/- I've slowed down a lot on my posting. Mainly because I stopped posting in every single thread for the hell of it like I was doing
+ The mods are right, you do burn yourself out big time by overdoing it. RD will be an exception though since that's the idea of it.
+ I feel like I was being silly spamming game threads, tech is what I'm really interested in (and Rayman but that's obvious since I'm here )
+/- I should probably also stop using this thread as a place for confessions since it's meant to be for good and bad things that happened on the current day also

Edit: What the hell is "a cheaters"!

[The Jonster]

+ Maybe I should make a thread where we all talk about confessions...

But I think they're right you really can burn yourself out constantly posting on here to the point where you disappear for time on end.

+ I've started finally talking about programming stuff on here, though I want to learn tech stuff some time too.
+ Finished all my videos, so I'm going to bed soon.
- Unfortunately my sleep schedule has now been disrupted.

[Steo]

- My sleep schedule is one I forgot to mention, it's just gone... Fecked... I'm still awake at 8am and it's not even Record Day

[The Jonster]

- Nooooo!!! The feels man...
+ Going to concentrate on uploading my SMB videos tomorrow.
- Hmm, the last time I uploaded an SMB video it got copyrighted and ads got put on it. I wonder how those other guys were able to get around that.
+ Eh, I'm sure I'll find a way to do so.

[Steo]

Most of the videos that get around that have the speed altered and the sound at a different pitch to get away with it. Personally that annoys the crap out of me though

[The Jonster]

Yeah thay annoys me too, and really ads aren't a bother for me, even though I'd like to workaround it I'm ok with them. At least Nintendo won't like block my videos hopefully.
