    Never played Dark Souls but Demon's Souls taught me that any problem that can't be faced head on can be faced from a snipers nest with a quiver of arrows that weighs more than you do.

    Maybe it I'd because I was just rewatching Code Lyoko, but I read it as full frame reuse rather than element reuse or transformations.

    As with any form of it though it is to save time and money. And reuse of elements can help prevent continuity errors as long as it is done right.

    I've never minded reuse much though. If it is supposed to look pretty much the same what is the harm in making it look exactly the same? Aelita ends up deactivating a tower probably around 100 times in the course of the show, and I can only recall that animation changing twice. Bit I don't think anyone would appreciate having each one be unique when they have to be 95% the same by definition. I think the big reason we see less of it now is just that the shows are less formulaic. Or at not to the point of the exact same event happening in every episode.

    I'm surprised how many people stopped watching with the fall of Aizen. I don't really know why the anime stopped, but I suspect that was a piece of it. That and they had long since caught up to the manga so it had become filler central which is both expensive and generally disliked by fans. Maybe once the manga closes the anime can come back a bit like what FMA: Brotherhood did (though starting completely over iisn't really necessary in this case)

    I've only pulled an OTK once, and surprisingly I hadn't planned for it. I was testing a warrior/equip deck because I had a bunch building up in my trunk, and Ben-Kei worked a lot better than I thought he would.

    Yeah, I left when Konami took over. It hasn't been all bad but I feel like their method for dealing with old cards is to ignore them and release better cards until no one cares about anything else. My deck felt obsolete the moment I graduated high school.

    Though I will also freely admit that I loved beat sticking. It was satisfying to spend half the duel to get out that one special card and then call checkmate and watch your opponent squirm. There were always ways out but they were temporary or required more skill, plus all the ways to counter it. Now I feel like depending on who you are versing there is either no such thing as an advantage or the duel is as good as decided by the second or third turn. At least the Dark counterparts kept me going for a bit longer (since I used a fiend deck).

    My highschool computers class had an open internet final. Good times.

    Pretty much this. Every add-on is asking the browser to do that one more thing before it shows the page to you. Ad blockers need to look at every address used on the page and go "is this an ad?" by comparing it to a known list. So even a page without ads will be slow as the add-on makes sure of that. How costly that ends up being varies from computer to computer. It sounds like for you the use of add-ons ends up being pretty costly so you end up needing to ask more if an add on is worth it.

    And just to be clear when you say system speed, is this only in the browser or has it made everything slower? Because that second one really shouldn't be happening.

    Also, the moon has just struck the Earth and started a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions.

    Also also, how often does the average person get hit in the eye with a pizza?

    My few encounters with vocal members of the LGBT community have not gone well. I find it excessively difficult to empathize with them and when I can't read their mind to figure out what they want from me they blow off the handle. It might be childish but I just withdraw from them. If you are going to get that upset about me not doing things exactly right then you'll get nothing from me. Of course those are just the vocal ones that tend to start up drama. I've also known a couple that have been very patient with my ignorance on the subject.


    On the point of the topic, I've don't have much. It can be frustrating when people make incorrect assumptions. I frequently get mistaken for a girl because of the long hair (the beard doesn't help as much as you might think), and when me and my sister hang out people think we're dating. Both of those are annoying but I can grin and correct them usually with some joke. I know it can be rougher when you get it a lot but they don't empathize with us much either. I can't tell what gender the male in a dress identifies as. And both the metrosexual and the transgender would be upset by my getting it wrong.

    I'll take the written final. Hands down.

    We Fall Apart ~ We As Human

    "You're a liar but I'm a coward so I can't throw a stone.
    We're so imperfect but so worth it because we're not alone.
    It's the wars that we wage; the lives that we take; for better or for worse
    It's the lion we cage; the love and the rage; that keeps us wanting more"

    Minor correction, fraps uses a custom codec, not straight uncompressed. That being said, it isn't that good of one (the idea being to prioritize low latency over low file size).

    If you have the disk space you could use fraps and then compress once you are done. (keep in mind you need enough room to have both files at once). That being said, I would agree that Dxtory is a better choice on the surface (I've never used it myself). Looks like a lighter weight on the system and (what we care about here) you can use any codec if you don't like the native one.

    My data had X above XIII, but my search was hardly thorough. Either way I feel less crazy now, so thank you.

    You are perfectly fine unless you decided the program folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4" was where you wanted to put those. Maybe a few formatting changes, but even that shouldn't really happen since that is all stored in the file (so that you can send files to someone else and have it look the same).

    Weird. I get this and I can't find a way to even change the order, much less remove tabs entirely.

    There is always the nuclear option of a re-install. I don't know how many settings you might have in there to worry about, probably not much outside the personal dictionary.
