See, that's the thing, even in video games I rarely use swords unless they're forced on me. In Persona 3, my latest obsession, I've been using mostly a hammer and a spear. I've been switching to swords occasionally for the stats, but it's not what I've used most of the time.

Swords are one of the most generic type of weaponry there is when it comes to video games, no matter how much you modify it. (I'm looking at you, Gunblade... that doesn't technically shoot bullets.)

It's just the swordsman in you calling... Pick a sword, any sword-- WIELD IT HIGH AND PROUDLY!

Then again, dreams are dreams. When you dream of Master Chief riding a hover board in the middle of nowhere on some hi-tech dome; you know dreams don't mean shit sometimes.

I do lucid dreaming, and yes, expecting them to have any relevancy to the real world is silly.

But it was more of a panicked "WHERE THE HELL IS IT I NEED TO DEFEND MYSELF" looking-for-my-sword.

Actually if we want to get into dreams, I had a dream about my son the other night, and he was crying because someone spanked him. I'm not against the spanking, but the way he was crying (in the dream) it was like someone really beat his ass. In the dream I was able to pick him up and scoop him into my arms and console him ... unfortunately, waking up was not quite as comforting as I desperately wanted to hug him, but couldn't.

It's possible that it stems from me seeing that video the other day, even though that was my other son.

I really need to see my kids ... anyone want to buy Aks a plane ticket?

Damn it, I'm probably going to cry tonight.

How the hell'd he get custody anyway?

Aksannyi · 07-03-2008, 06:02 PM

We share custody. It's just his turn.

Feba · 07-03-2008, 06:06 PM

that would still be him having custody.

Aksannyi · 07-03-2008, 06:13 PM

We don't have a "specific" court agreement, we just have a court order that states that we will decide on our own when and how the children will be staying with each parent, which may seem stupid, but as of yet we haven't needed anything more specific. We've been able to discuss and plan amicably (for the most part, I'd be lying if I said we don't argue sometimes) and just as he trusts me not to run off to Switzerland with the kids, I trust that he wont be just taking them wherever the hell he pleases and cutting off all contact, which actually would be against our arrangement so I could take him to court over it. That's enough of a threat for both of us to "behave."

It works for us. If problems arise then we'll have to go through the courts to get a more rigid plan. I really hope it doesn't come to that, but so far we've been able to be mature about it.

My mother hates the arrangement and thinks the kids should always be with me, but I think she's fucking stupid. But no matter, I no longer speak to her.

Family can be the worst pains about some things ... I think mine see me as they'd like me to be, not as I am.

YouTube - Content Aware Image Resizing

Interesting.

Shame if it makes editing photos even easier than photoshop does. Not because it will lead to more doctorings; sometimes nonpersons deserve it; but because that's more people out there butchering perfectly good images. Although this is leagues better than just stretching it

Mhurron, feel free to explain why this is a horrible idea and I'm stupid.

Not only family but people in general, then they try to change you to fit their image of you.

But then again, I think we all do the same from time to time.
