First day of classes

So I started my first days of college.

I'm staying at home and going to the local community college. It was actually my first choice. In the end I get a good 4 year education by transferring and I save a lot of money. So yeah, community college is good.

But I only have one class on Mondays which is a basic required course. I zoned out during it since it was basic syllabus stuff.

But I wouldn't blog about that. So I'm waiting around an hour for a ride home and decide to hang in the cafeteria. I see a bunch of nerdy looking guys sitting at a table with a card binder open. I'm interested as I've been wanting to get into some sort of college Magic scene so I stealthily take a peak. It's YuGiOh cards. I'm going "ABORT MISSION" in my mind and sit in the table behind them. I already scoped this group out to be some sort of power nerd group that I don't like associating with. I mean I'm very nerdy, but this is like neckbeards. I find them annoying. But entertaining to eavesdrop on. So I go to the table behind them, crack open my laptop, and boot up Puzzle Quest 2. Not much better than what they're doing but whatever.

So overhearing their conversation on trading YuGiOh cards and jerking off over Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts. Like I literally felt like turning around and saying "Guild McCommunist says get the fuck off GBAtemp". But yeah. Like they were talking about some of the dumb shit videos I saw months ago. Neckbeards are very behind the curve.

The moral of this story though is to judge books by their covers because the fat obnoxious ones usually look fat and obnoxious.

EDIT: If you just so happened to see a tall bearded man pass by you in the cafeteria at a community college who sat down and played Puzzle Quest 2 on their laptop then get the fuck off.

Who likes neckbeards? They're internet scum. I bet they were bronies too.
 
I still find hipsters more disturbing. But then, I'm more of a otaku geek anyhow.

Urgh. Just realised my favourite musical of all time is based on baby hipsters. Urgh.

Lemme guess, Repo! The Genetic Opera?

I didn't see any hipsters though. I'm generally scouting for people who are similar to me and hipsters are not one of them.

My TV class should be a bit more fruitful.
 
when i go to university it shouldn't be to hard to find friends/people to hang out with since i'm going to do a programming course and some of them won't be completely up themselves.

Nope, Rent. (I'm a giant Rent fan...)

It's easy enough to make friends on campus, but I tend to hang out with the geeks/otakus. Anyhow...

I just have a very particular interest in friends. I don't think there's many people that could measure up to my friends in highschool and we're still in contact. I can't stand otakus and I can't stand powernerds either. I want to meet people like me, which I guess there aren't many of. I'm nerdy but not powernerdy. I can't stand otakus, emos, the general groups that nerds fit in to.
 
I dunno, much of my friends are pretty tolerable - I can't stand the "party girls", mostly.

*sigh*

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
