I'm updating my adventure game I made back in 1997 in Klik n Play. It's weird using KnP again after all this time... plus working with it in Windows 3.1 through DosBox (since Klik n Play won't run in 64-bit Windows) is doubly odd.
It's like I went through some weird time vortex back to my childhood. :eek:
PSP battery arrived after ordering it last night, (Seller appears to be in the same town! ), and it appears to be an official phat one!
(Packaging is in Japanese, and the battery has all the correct markings and stickers so I think its genuine)
I'm so impressed I ordered another one, (at £5.50 I'd be crazy not to!).
Might use that one in the old PSP. (Or keep it as a spare)
Just went for a nice brisk little walk with my brother down the ol' walking path for about 40 minutes!
I listened to music on my PSP, and I was having a great time.
My little brother was a little tired near the end. He was struggling to keep up my pace! XD
Its so nice to be able to walk around without that heavy load all the time.
Even the rainy, murky weather couldn't get me down today.
I think I'll have another walk about the same time on Friday.
(Shame we didn't take a football with us today, could've had a little kick around near some goals. No-one was around today, and it would have been good for my little bro. I think he was a bit bored with nothing to keep him occupied during the walk! HAHA!)
I meant for personal study I need something as grammatically accurate as possible, word for word, which translations like the NLT are not. I have individual materials I use to go along with it, as I tend to dislike internal commentaries or study aids included with Bibles, as I find them desperately lacking in terms of information.
I have heard from someone at church that NASB is the closest word-for-word translation. Granted, I'm not exactly a scholar about the differences between translations, but I would completely understand why one that translates "thought-for-thought" would not be what you're interested in.
I have a coworker who often talks about how awesome her relationship is with her boyfriend.though kinda annoying at times I can't help but feel happy for her. it seemed to be very good.
Yesterday she didn't come into work. She got brutally beaten by him. He was drunk and beat her and wrecked her home. The man who she boasted treated her so well.
I thought I had gotten over my fear of men. Seeing her bruised and battered brought it all back. I hate this completly irrational fear.
Shit. I wish we still beat people who did that to their girlfriends and wives. Fuck, I mean, who the hell does that? A woman gives a man her heart and the guy greets her with a clenched fist? Hell no. That's subhuman behavior and I hope someone takes a tire iron to that scumbag's teeth.

And not only do we allow them to get away with it, we give them FUCKING GRAMMYS.
Society needs to grow some balls and give these unapologetic assholes what's coming to them.
Yup. Domestic violence is domestic violence. If you beat someone who loves you and thinks you love them, you ought to get beaten within an inch of your life. Back in my grandfather's time, he told me, a guy across the street would beat his wife horribly every night.
Well, one night a mob broke in and dragged him off in the night. He was returned the next day, as since this was the 1930s, he had to work at the mill and support his wife and kid. Now, the guy had previously been a drunken deadbeat, aside from just beating his wife, but let me tell you this; he went to work early that day. And the next day. And you know what?
Guy never fucked up again.
So, as you can see, I think there's a way of solving problems like this, but a lot of people probably lack the stomach for it. It's retribution and it straightens them out. It's community justice, in a sense.
I knew the guy. He'd never consiously do this. Huge heart. Substace problem from the past. Theyre no longer together but shes helping him get therapy. Which he needs.
More violence wouldn't do a thing here considering he didn't remember what he did. And he feels like a complete monster.

It doesn't work. You can beat on them all you like, but that won't achieve anything. Worsens the guy's feeling of inferiority, inadequacy, depression, alcohol addiction and what have you and that is everything but a good thing for the girlfriend/wife/husband/whatever. There's one thing to do and that is to get the partner out of that relationship immediately. The other half doesn't know how to handle it anyway.
If that's the case, though, where does retribution come in? You can't beat someone who loves you and get away without a bloody nose or a blackened eye yourself.

Maybe the "retribution" of immediately losing someone at least somehow dear to you is the real pain here. "Just beat him up real good, that'll help", that indeed sounds like a 30's fantasy of catharsis...
...now, on to the topic of prohibition. Wouldn't THAT be your solution to the problem, Pants?

Every city should hire a vigilante to roam the streets administrating non lethal street justice.

[highlight]Yup.[/highlight]
For personal usage I actually really prefer "thought for thought". It's just an easier flow and it's usually in standard, modern English. It doesn't sound wooden and it feels more enjoyable.
Anyone ever think we could have another video game market crash?
I think if things keep getting as crazy as they are, (increasing "in-app purchases", more restrictive DRM in consoles (next gen rumoured to be messing with used sales), overflooding of uninspired cash-ins in the market, questionable business decisions by major publishers (many of which are leading to them liquidation), increasing size of AAA projects but with diminishing returns (most of the budget being invested on the tech, and marketing)), it could be a possibility.
I think companies are forgetting the basics of business here.
You make a product/service that has sufficient value that people want to pay for, that makes you a profit.
(And then if possible add onto that to delight the customer, and further ensure their repeat custom)
They focus on the product/service, they focus on the profits, but they seem to be failing on knowing what people want, and what constitutes as good value to their target market.
Its pretty much why indies are doing so well at the moment, they are picking up the pieces that are falling of the rotting corpses of the big companies and putting them to better use.
I'm probably going to be banned. I posted on Western thread I got a dvd for £6. But didn't post it on last item purchased thread! This might be the last time you see MEEEE!
im pretty sure the agreement was to stop trying to start conflict in an otherwise harmless conversation about purchasing a book.
Yes, a book that I feel compelled to object to due to the vaguely insulting accusations it makes about the world and the universe as a whole. Take it to another thread or something.
For crying out loud, shut the hell up. Nobody here would object to talking about Joyce, Nietzsche, De Sade, Crowley, etc. of the most objectionable content known on the written page, and you're here crowing on and on about your personal bias. I wouldn't mind if you were being merely critical, as that's your right, but you're literally trying to segregate people and their views.

Racist.
Wouldn't being a racist mean I'd have to have some prejudice based on, I dunno, race? I'm just insulted by the idea of a god who can fix everything but chooses not to. What's so horrible about that?

It's not your call to tell someone to take their views elsewhere or to segregate them. It's nobodies call.

It's really not racist at all. Besides, consider my point of view for a second. These are people saying that there's a reason for all the terrible shit in the world - in the lives of myself and some people who are very close to me. Can you not see how I might take exception to that? I'm not even telling them to shut up. I'm merely asking that they take it elsewhere. What is so horrible about that?

Pretty sure...I said drop it...but that could be and I know...I don't remember things well...but eh...it could have been something else.
I know...what you mean...trying to finish a script is a pain in the ass..when you have other things on the plate.

it grips me painfully.
i dont want to be this way again.

I need a definition of this ...

Heh, I read that as Catman.
Most cities have them. And they're ridiculous.

Stop trolling.
I'm not trolling. I thought we agreed to stop talking about bible shit as it is annoying and leads to conflict.
