Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

edit: Goodbye my chat thread. You were truly short-lived.
reflexes like a cat!
Was that a cruel jab at my thread title?
The worst part is I just wandered in here after 2 hours of productivity to check other threads and saw the old chat thread locked at the top.
I thought fortune had smiled upon me, but alas, she is fickle.
ponytails are a universal sign for nerddom, or otherwise poor aesthetics.
other people who have ponytails include gross bouncers, and no one's going to tell them they're doing it wrong.
ponytails aren't different. lots of people have ponytails. if you really wanted to make your hair different, you'd do something interesting with it - style it, dye it, cut it all off except for one sideways mohawk that fits into your friend's like a jigsaw puzzle and call it a brohawk - but no; you go with the ponytail, which is a symbol of your cultural aesthetic, as much as silk shirts with dragons on them or trenchcoats or ill-fitting metal band tshirts.
there is nothing essentially wrong with long hair or ponytails on men; but fashion and appearance is all contextual, and in this context they all say the same thing: i'm a big geek who isn't self aware.
I am the exact opposite and it's scary.
Thanatos and some others seem to know what they're talking about with respect to the Government and your monies. Good luck.
YOUR AWFUL
honestly the lack of Pixies love is sad
go listen to Dragonforce you bunch of homps
no, I never saw your [chat] title
but yes it was a cruel jab
it's always a cruel jab
Oh, don't say things to scare me. I'm still working with FAFSA.
I know that, but he wasn't getting any attention in [Chat] and there seemed a collection of people who had a better chance of knowing over there than here.
You are a horrible person and your ideas are horrible as well.
You have never said a truer thing than this
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things
So related to the trench discussion. I've been pleasantly surprised how few people in my philosophy class wear them, just the two out of the twenty or so of us. With video game and 'comedy' shirts of course. The rest rock the normal/intellectual look.
:lol:
i don't necessarily even like the fact that it's true; this is my perception of the situation, and my explanation for my own reaction when i see a dude with a ponytail.
i speak as someone who dressed like a huge nerd for a long time, and was not self aware about my appearance in a way that was actually cogent with how others perceived me.
Sir Gooey, me calling you awful is like a bear calling a carrot furry.
It is dumb, strange and incorrect.
I make the awful things in these parts.
i love you

Just pick Adventures in Babysitting and be done with it.
They are correct.
Yeah, but it never hurts to ask.
Except when it does.
Except marry a non alien with balloons shoved in her chest.
Like I said, all that matters to me is my resume. I will dress nice for an interview. I will dress nice for an important event, otherwise, jean shorts, gamer t's, and crocs are fine with me. I don't even own a suit.
Well except make soccer popular in the US.
The day that you look like David Beckham, Brad Pitt, or Johnny Depp is the day that you can wear whatever you want and make it look good.
well that's just it
ponytails in some cultures are very different, much like long hair on dudes
in our culture, long hair and ponytails, especially in conjunction with other items, have a meaning. they produce an impression.
even if that impression isn't true, you are conveying it.
and if you aren't aware of that impression? then chances are it is kinda true.
You take any Pixies song, add constant god-awful annoying double kick through out the entire song, and then EQ all the life out of the vocals while adding even more reverb.
Pixieforce.
My dad eats it all in three days.
