    I'd probably do it on Twitch! Livestream is also an option, though I do have to check how the game runs with procastor (have only tested it with OBS so far).

    So I've been playing Transistor and beat it today. I have quite a few thoughts on it (this sounds bad but it isn't, lol) and will probably post them later. HOWEVER there's a New Game+ option and I've heard there aren't really any spoilers within it (much like Bastion's NG+), so I was thinking of streaming it at some point.

    I finally finished my semester, so I can start whenever. idk if anyone would be interested in watching, so if you would be just I can definitely arrange for it.

    Hey everyone! I've got some more site news for ya today, and while it may not be as big as the post counting mod, it's an interesting new thing nonetheless! We've got a brand new section ready for some posting! As brought up in the past by @What?, and recently suggested by @Ars Nova, a new section has been added to the Writer's Nook!

    To give a brief overview of its purposes, the Works & Rec section will be used to:
    • discuss topics and aspects of writing as both a craft and personal pleasure
    • exchange prompts and exercises
    • build collaborative projects
    • ...and much more!

    For a more in-depth look at the rules, please click here and read. A big thanks to @Ars Nova for compiling some initial content and discussion for everyone to sink their teeth into and build upon in the future!

    To add onto this, the last time post counters were rebuilt was when we were still on vB, so it could be quite possible that there was some mess up that was previously unnoticed due to vB being poop using a different software. All speculation of course, but yeah.

    Haya pretty much said what I was going to say here. If this keeps up, I will have to probably lock the thread, and I know you two can conduct yourselves in a discussion much better than this. Stop trying to take the piss out of each other's points, be they about the semantics of the argument or someone saying they're going to leave things be with the topic. If it's been said, it's done and that should be that.

    YOOOOOOOO I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER WEIGHTED IN ON THIS THREAD

    There's a lot of characters I like a lot, and characters I just can't stand. If I had to narrow down a single favorite character, I'd have to pick Naruto.

    He's dumb, he's rash, he's childish...but he's also so good. His intentions are so good. During the early stages of Part I, I had found Naruto to be pretty annoying. While I could sympathize with his orphan backstory, he was so goofy all the time I couldn't stand it. However, after seeing him engage with Haku, with Neji, with Gaara especially, his determination and unwillingness to give up on his allies and his dreams really shined through. I started to feel proud of his achievements -- him mastering the Rasengan, him challenging Tsunade's ideology about Konoha & what it means to be Hokage (their relationship is one of my favorites in the series), and his willingness to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of his friends.

    What really made Naruto shoot to the top for me was his growth during the Pain and the Control the Nine Tails arcs. Pain was SO ESSENTIAL to the Naruto we're reading today. Naruto's ideas were mercifully challenged; he had to think about WHY the village was important, WHAT is hatred, HOW do you stop hatred in a system built to constantly perpetuate it. Jiraiya's death here was also really big for him. The closest thing Naruto knew to a parental figure was taken, and he (rightfully) wanted revenge, wanted to, in a twist of cruel irony, be a part of the cycle of hatred that he tried to stand against. But from this and from showing Nagato mercy, Naruto opened a new path of hope not only for himself, but for everyone in the ninja system -- he learned that hatred was not something that only Konoha faced, but was something that it's instilled in other people, and that it's something everyone suffered under so long as the current societal structure remains in place.

    These arcs were also important to Naruto developing confidence in himself! So much of the shonen speeches and posing he did in the past, all of it was just a front to try and convince himself otherwise. Much like the rest of Team 7, Naruto thinks so poorly of himself deep down and that is what Kurama (back when he was still a huge ******) relied on to corrupt Nar. But from meeting Minato and Kushina, learning that his parents loved, cared for, and believed in him so much even in death, Naruto was able to find the strength within himself to actually believe in himself and the things he wanted to do. He began to accept that, yes, his past is tragic and that he has lost so much along the way, but it's within his power to change all of that and he can be, and is, the hero he wants everyone to see him as.

    He is an actual sunshine child and if he gets killed before the series is over I will be at Kishimoto's door with a headband and a boombox playing all the sad tracks in the show.

    I have other favorites and I will probably talk about them later, but yeah lol.

    This was my reaction, then it shot up to 90 degrees for a week straight and felt like an oven all across campus. spring pls stay.

    These are all things I'm doing. Gonna get the resume together to for ~mandatory co-op~ next summer, and just taking some time to think over stuff for the future in general.
