    I'm currently in the Toy Box. I didn't get a chance to play more yesterday other than in the early morning around 1:00 AM, but I made it through the vents and arrived at the doll area.

    For some additional info, I'm doing Standard Mode and chose the balanced warrior route. For my world route thus far, it has been Olympus -> Twilight Town -> Kingdom of Corona -> Toy Box.

    Just like in the first two games—although I'm not really including the first game since AI customization wasn't as good, in my opinion, as in the second game—the AI can be customized. I know I can just play for myself and figure it out, but figured I'd start a discussion, anyway.

    In Kingdom Hearts III, under Abilities, there are three choices:
    • Go Wild (Default): The friend will use abilities at will.
    • Watch MP: The friend will balance using abilities and keeping MP in reserve.
    • Conserve: The friend will keep ability usage to a minimum.

    And under Recovery, which includes both items and magic and both HP and MP, there are also three choices:
    • Use as Needed: The friend will use recovery items/magic as needed
    • Use in Emergencies: The friend will use recovery items/magic in an emergency
    • Use Like Crazy: The friend will use recovery items/magic if selected targets lose even the slightest amount of HP/MP.

    For Kingdom Hearts II, we have for Battle Style, which seems to be akin to Abilities in III:
    • Technic Attack (Default): Party members fight with their individual techniques.
    • Target Attack: Party members concentrate attacks on Sora's target.
    • Huddle Attack: Party members fight close to Sora.
    • Party Attack: Party members will fight a target other than Sora's.
    • Sora Attack: While Sora attacks, party members will support him.
    • Relentless Attack: Party members defeat their target before attacking another.

    For Abilities, we have:
    • Free (Default): Use this ability freely.
    • Well-Balanced: Use this ability conservatively.
    • Rare: Use this ability in special situations

    And for items, we have:
    • Often (Default): Use this item often.
    • Last Hope!: Use this item only in an emergency!

    As an example using Donald and his Donald Cure from II:
    • Free: Even if not in the red, but noticeably below half health, Donald will heal. Red would be 25% health, so I would guess anywhere between 26–40% health.
    • Rare: Donald will only heal if in the red

    I'm not totally sure on Well-Balanced, actually, but free is what I would prefer for III. Items work similarly in II, but even if HP or MP are only a little bit below half, Donald will use items. For items, I would guess anywhere between 26–45% of HP or MP.

    What I've highlighted in the same color is what I'm guessing is the same between II and III, just different wording. What confuses me is the description for the "Use Like Crazy" one. Does that mean that if I have 90/105 (86%) HP, Donald will heal me? Or would this still just be like Free in II like in the example I gave above with 26–40%?

    As a rough percentage, how much of acting is actually acting?

    To explain what I mean, as this is something I've been curious about, let's say that in one scene, we have a woman brushing her hair aside with her fingers to get it out of the way, and in another scene on a completely different series, we have a man pulling up his pants that have slipped down a bit after, say, a big fight scene or a slipping and falling scene. Are these actions of brushing the hair aside and pulling up the pants part of the script? Or are they not part of the script and it's just the actors doing that which in turn makes it look natural, anyway, since we do that in everyday life as it is.

    I know there are members here who have acted.

    Not sure if this is an actual bug per se, but I would expect that when I receive munny, the red alert balloon would show up above "X Munny" on the navigation bar with new items briefly highlighted when you first open the menu, just like when you receive an alert when someone mentions you in a post, etc. and that item is briefly highlighted under "Alerts."

    I did not get any notifications for these:

    This is what I'm seeing, and I can't seem to fix it:

    View attachment 49031

    In the past, all it would take was closing and reopening the program, but this time it's being caused by something else. I tried reinstalling to no avail. I just completely uninstalled it and am going to try installing it on my laptop later and see what happens there to determine if it's Roxio itself or my computer.

    As some may know, on April 29, I resumed regular updates on my YouTube channel, which are unfortunately on hold again because of this. Everything was fine when I recorded on May 8; however, when I went to record again on May 12, I was getting that no video signal message. I tried doing the usual of closing Roxio, disconnecting the Roxio USB, reconnecting the Roxio USB, and reopening Roxio to no avail. I've even tried different USB ports on my computer. I thought maybe it was an issue with the PS2 cables, so I tried connecting it to my PS3 to no avail.

    So I'm stumped. Again, I'll install Roxio on my laptop later and see if it works there. The only thing that happened after May 8 was the Windows 10 Spring Update, but I don't think that would cause it, would it?

    @Mixt: Are you still around? Maybe you can help, Mr. Technical Expert.

    This thread will be focused on males for reasons that will be made obvious with the video below, but females aren't excluded, of course.

    I came across this video and found it really sweet and touching:


    While we're a lot better, the "guys don't do this; if they do, it means they're gay" stereotype unfortunately still exists. Where it originated from, I have no idea. Honestly, sexuality shouldn't even play a role in this. I think I've made it clear before that I love all my friends like family.

    Basically, two males who are good friends can love each other, no matter if:
    • Both males are heterosexual
    • Both males are homosexual
    • One male is heterosexual and one male is homosexual

    I'm just simplifying this, but the same thing would apply to the other sexuality types as well.

    All three of those are completely platonic. It just shows how close they are as friends. In the case of the second one, even if it were a couple, there can still be platonic love. Basically, just because they're both homosexual and in a relationship doesn't mean their love for each other has to only be romantic or sexual. They can love each other without involving their sexuality. In other words, they love and care about each other like family. Likewise, two homosexual friends who are just friends and not in a relationship, but are close with each other, can love each other. In other words, they don't love each other because they're both homosexual, they love each other because they care deeply about each other like family. Basically, view it the same way as two heterosexual male friends being close with each other. That goes back to what I was saying earlier where sexuality shouldn't play a role in loving your friends, at least not the platonic kind.

    My Plans

    In response to this, I've come up with some goals:
    • Sunday, April 29: Regular updates resume on my YouTube channel
    • Saturday, May 5: Regular updates resume on my Video Game Projects and Breath of Fire III project threads

    While I had uploads every single day in August 2017, I had failed to get at least 100 uploads for the month like I had done for January–July 2017, something I had wanted to go for the entire year—at least 100 uploads every month. When I failed to do that, I essentially lost the motivation to continue recording and uploading my projects.

    To give you an idea of just how much it affected my channel, here is the update and upload timeline from September 2017 until now:

    View attachment 48902

    Then look at the YouTube timeline section of my Video Game Projects thread and compare what it was like before in 2017 for an obvious difference. I haven't been this scarce in content since I began regularly uploading in mid-late December 2010. At this point, I don't think it's really about motivation, just that I got out of the habit and can't seem to get back into it. And it's not like this time I have technical issues that are actually holding me back like has been the case a few times before. Getting back into the pattern of waking up early to get ready for college and get to the bus on time after, say, summer break is easier. It's really no different than this situation with my projects looking at the overall concept, however, so... This is also the reason why I haven't updated my Breath of Fire III project in a while. Just got out of the habit.

    So, how do you get back into a pattern you were really good with after you got out of it for various reasons?

    This results in a blank and whitespace area, however. See this profile post on @Explode's profile. Not sure if it's strictly on profile posts as I know this was an issue before that Misty fixed for typical posts.
