I'm just glad consoles are where they're at today. When is the next gen coming out? I've sort of let this one pass me by, so it'd be nice to have a fresh start.
I think this generation is supposed to last 10 years. So we should have another 5 until the PS4 and XBox 720.
yeah it is going to be a while
the advancement of graphic capabilities have seemed to have kind of slowed down since this generation of consoles was introduced. the 360 at least doesn't look much worse than high-end computers.
I hope graphics take a back seat for the rest of this gen.

I think that is due to the fact that most big budget games are developed for consoles first and then ported over to PC.
It doesn't matter how powerful your system is if the polycounts and texture resolutions are the same/similar on all platforms.

it is also i think partly because graphical quality has started to plateau.
like, 1080p resolution is finer than most people can see at any reasonable distance
and there aren't really a whole lot of graphical things that feel strongly wanting in modern gaming titles.
it doesn't really seem like it would be worth the trouble to replace the 360's graphical or sound processing with whatever is most current at this point.
maybe in a few more years.

why do people feel the need to defend the appropriateness of calling other people "faggots"?
i mean yes i have said offensive things to and about people before but at least i acknowledge that it is a bad, rude, malicious or inappropriate thing to do.

you know, i think people got the right to use the words they want
words have repercussions, of course, not the least of which is insulting, upsetting, or offending others depending on the words you use, and how and when you use them.
i think it's worth defending if someone wants to be like "amongst friends we call each other faggots in a joking way and that doesn't really make us homophobes"
i get that
i do that!
trying to defend the usage of faggot as a general slur, saying it with anger towards strangers on the same level as "you asshole!"
well uh
that really shouldn't be defended
i do that too, in anger sometimes
sometimes i even intentionally and knowingly trot it out on non-heterosexuals
sometimes, you just want to hurt someone's feelings and make them feel bad
Is it weird to think apples taste like twenty times better if they're cold instead of room temperature?
Nah apples taste amazing cold. The texture goes all icky when they're warm.
: D
I have always refrigerated fruit but this was the first time in a while that I've had cold and warm in the same day so the difference was very noticeable!
We have had to place a large cushion outside the bedroom door when we turn in for the night so the cats can't scratch at the wood when the alarm goes off. The second the radio goes on the cats start scritch scritch scritch at the door and any hope of a brief lie in is ruined. They are persistent little tykes.

I am very fussy when it comes to apples. They have to be Golden Delicious and they have to be cold otherwise the textures grates on me like handling polystyrene.
and also they spend most of their time staring at you
trying to kill you with their minds
Yes you can
Scoop one hand under their armpits and pick them up, quickly put a hand on their lower back for support, then snuggle them up to your chest and hold them forever

the whole time the cat's expression is like this is some fucking bullshit
whereas if you hug a dog or pet a dog or look at a dog or possibly cough that sounds like the dog's name they will make an expression like YAAAAAAAAAAAY

that isn't a hug
it's not
it is maybe a reluctant snuggle
but it totally is not a hug.
cats aren't even big enough for a proper hug. your arms can't really go around something the size of a cat.
except maybe bobcats
and a bobcat won't let you hug it.

i think they slinked off to jerk off to the babylon fives
Tomorrow will be fun!
also you like cats don't you?
how do i keep this cat from jumping in my lap?
it is so annoying

it's not a thing to be proud of
but there it is
Because they do it and don't want you to make them feel bad about it?

It's just being nice. Don't be an arsehole to it just because it likes you.
: D

it wasn't really the most mature response on my part, but they said some mean-ass shit that got under my skin
so
decided to do a little give-back in a way that i know would make them feel just as belittled
certainly could've handled that situation better but
i don't make apologies for being a human being
Hot is Not
Yes I do.
Um you don't stop the kitty from jumping your lap you accept that the kitty wants in your lap and roll with it.
It is likely taunting you for your inability to stop it from jumping up on your lap.
Or lock it out of your room and listen to it cry.
they really care very little about what you want
forever
That'll teach it.

Where Madness and the Fantasical Come to Play
cats stink, rabbits stink, hamsters stink, fish stink
animals stink
you stink
it doesn't like me
it wants to kill me
and figures that rubbing its asshole on me will shorten my life
this is what I keep reading.
Something is wrong with me
It's true, but you missed Orangutans.
what is an x-fag convention elldrechu?
that was phenomenal
you can't hug a cat
cats are unhuggable
and also they spend most of their time staring at you

Yes you can

I have a cat that can prove you wrong. She loves to be hugged.
Not me of course, she doesn't like me. But she will let certain people hug her.
Where Madness and the Fantasical Come to Play
the convention of tacking -fag onto any sort of descriptor to use as an appellation.
the whole time the cat's expression is like this is some fucking bullshit
whereas if you hug a dog or pet a dog or look at a dog or possibly cough that sounds like the dog's name they will make an expression like YAAAAAAAAAAAY
you mean like over at 4chan where people are like "i'm a warhammer-fag" or whatever?
that isn't a hug

but it totally is not a hug.
