Balls.

GTA-like game?

According to The Independent newspaper, the death toll rises above 370. https://news.yahoo.com/indonesia-tsunami-death-toll-rises-131300671.html

Oh no... I hope so too @Wavelength

Thanks! I and my family are safe, and we live in a place far away from tsunami threats. Only a volcano that barely erupted during 2014.

All of the amendments for my state are null pending changes in Federal law that are unlikely...they are pointless pole bait.

Also if you only pay attention to presidential and midterm elections then you shouldn't vote at all. Local elections are generally much more important and the fact less than 10% of the population pays attention to them to blame for a lot of corruption state to state.

@Philosophus Vagus Totally agree with you, but won't expand further since political talk isn't allowed here.

So I just wanted to offer encouragement to cast a vote, which is so important, and to be informed while doing it.

Thankfully my county puts most of its major issues on the pres/midterm ballots.

I hope you have fun cast your vote and watch election advertisements.

This is probably better done by pm than by public Update posts.

Or open his profile, stalk his contents

Ah, sorry kes let me explain myself on your profile

@Philosophus Vagus but Wal-Mart loves it

As a Brit I had to look up what 'lounge pants' meant. Oh, them things! Yeah, comfort x 100.
@Philosophus Vagus No pants could be socially awkward in some situations.

I like workout shorts pant or informal shorts. It is kind of hot where I live to wear a long pant.

@Sharm I think you're right! Socializer is about having shared experiences with other people, so even if the kinds of "social" experiences in MMOs don't appeal to you, it sounds like you enjoy similar dynamics in different forms.

67% Explorer, 67% Socialiser, 60% Achiever, 7% Killer.
Sounds roughly right. I do like to explore new areas and aspects of the game. Socialiser should be lower as I generally don't play games to socialise, though some good fun with a close friend can be great. Definitely not a PvP kind of player, so killer is definitely my lowest. I don't get kicks out of owning other players.

EKAS 73% 73% 40% 13% the killing is part of what makes exploring exciting.

@bgillisp Yeah. It resumed after 2 hours, then was delayed for a second time (more lightning), then finally resumed another hour or two later and finished, becoming the longest game in NFL history since the merger! Dolphins 27, Titans 20. Crazy stuff.

Do you like watching dolphins playing games?

@Alanood Eeeee! Ee-ee-ee-ee-ee!

(Occasionally, an obstacle's "graphic reconciliation" would be done before the obstacle spawned, meaning it would be stuck with a placeholder of some sort from the spawn event.)

The right music sets the right atmosphere.

Of course not, if it's well optimized for speed. But Yanfly's engine is not optimized for speed. The default engine is even less optimized per speed. When I built my own engine, I achieved drastic speed increase just by separating events to PIXI.Sprites and PIXI.extras.AnimatedSprites, because certain events don't need to be updated at 60 frames per second.

And yes, a plugin could do things via checkboxes. But what difference does it make compared to notetags in terms of executed code? There are up to three ifs per check in both cases. In default engine I don't have these three checks. Yeah, three if checks are nothing. But Yanfly's plugins add up quite quickly.

When Yanfly's plugins become optimized for speed, I will still not support any potential including them in default code, but I'll have at least one more reason to accept that. But as it stands, when I play around with MV, I use at most 6-8 Yanfly's plugins and the rest is bloatware for me. And having all 130+ Yanfly's plugins on drops my FPS to 40 and the loading times increase considerably.

Time usually isn't an issue, but a lot of us spend so long chasing after detrimental trivialities that we lose sight of what should be important and by the time we realize how much time we've wasted all we're left with are regrets and fantasized ideals of what might have been in the wake of the reality that those possibilities have been walled off from us in our inattention.

How about health?

Universal is really fun! Water parks and I don't mix well, though. c;

I was rickrolled by Archeia.

The event is over. The guy was reloading his gun when they arrested him. I hope nobody was injured seriously enough that they can't recover, but 5 people were killed according to the reports I had seen.
