I sincerely miss you posting more often, and I fully support whatever mod decisions that are made that allow you to be a fully active and contributing member to the community here. If a space can't be made for you of all people I don't know who the hell else can call it their internet home.

Also, I'm going to @ you in every comment I post from now on.

You're on summer break now, yeah? How's it going so far?

Gratsi to you + everyone else that posted.

Oh yeah I forgot this was Pubski. This summer I have:

Fasted

Lost 10+ pounds

Picked up Skullgirls competitively, did not win a tournament Played Ace Attorney

Played Rune Factory 4

Picked up Roy for Smash, did win a tournament

Worked I guess, whatever

Read some books

Went to New York

Got a second job

Moved to a better apartment

Probably other stuff but it's not important

Wait did you move to NY or just visit?

I also picked up Skullgirls in the Steam sale, played one round... And my graphics card went up in smoke right after. Fuck I was looking forward to playing so much.

Just visited.

Skullgirls is awesome, I've never done any competitive fighting game stuff besides Smash but the tutorial is so thorough that I pulled off a combo like half an hour after reading it.

Also the design is amazing and soundtrack is bomb.

Cool beans all around.

I also picked up, a few weeks before that, The King of Fighters XIII, and I fucking loved that one. Sunk maybe 35 hours into it over a week. Might be right up your alley.

woah, you've been getting shit done!

Second job in your field or a college stop-gap?

I've always wanted to do a fast, but I get seriously bitter and snappy about everything after 6 hours without food and I can't conscienably do that to my friends. Happy (and hopefully peaceful) Ramadan, btw

It's kinda in my field, foot in the door, so to speak.

I would say with fasting the intent is half of what makes it easy. If I go to work and forget my lunch, I'm going to be cranky and pissed for the rest of the day. But if I wake up in the morning and have the intent to fast for the rest of the day, it's significantly less stressful.

that makes sense, I'm gonna give it a try once I get home. I've not been eating nearly as much as I used to which (which was A LOT, 2-3 mission burritos a day a lot) but I think I've been priming myself for something a bit more rigorous.

Did you do any caloric intake at all, or just water/assorted teas?

And the foot in the door is way to go, congrats! Connections go a long way, and something tells me you've got some rad ideas that would merit the support they can provide.
