I think mandibles would be the best thing to have.I mean, everyone's always on about how cool it would be to have wings, or a tail, or something like that. No way: if we were going to have any kind of animal trait implanted onto us, it should be mandibles.Why, you ask? Easy: have you ever had a bowl of popcorn with lots of butter, that you were trying to eat while typing on your computer, but you kept getting the grease form the butter on the keyboard? Well, with mandibles, you could just shovel the popcorn into your mouth, while keeping your hands free.For the sake of non-greasy keyboards, I vote we lobby science to see what they can do about this.

B-but humans already have mandibles.

I hate it how people forget that phones are for calling people

I never use/answer/check my phone unless it's for an emergency

I only use mine for an emergency, or for asking my mom to pick up fast food on the way home

I don't forget I just don't like talking to people on the phone haha. I'd rather text them and continue with what I'm doing than have to stop and talk you know

I hate how I have to ad smiley faces to almost everything I type or else people will think I meant something harshly. I really don't like using smilies but when I'm afraid my message might come off as a bit aggressive, I add a smiley or two, just in case.

 

I mean I'm usually a happy person but as you're reading this it probably makes me sound...stuck up? Serious? Or it could give off the impression of me being a smartass but with a little smiley at the end, it changes everything. Like this for example

When you're over the internet and only have text to look at, it's much more difficult to convey your intent.

 

Sarcasm, for instance, is harder to detect when you don't have tone of voice or facial expression to let you know your true feelings.  Smilies help simulate that.  Text is clinical.  Of course certain things will be lost in translation, so you gotta do what you can to be as clear as possible.  If you're joking, a smile at the end can eliminate all doubt that a message that can be taken seriously, is not serious.

Yep I have to do this too, and I HATE IT. But you never know how a person over the internet is going to react, so why not play it safe right? But I wish I could type a simple message without it sounding condescending/rude/insensitive if I don't include a smiley.

I don't get where the hype is coming from for RWBY, I watched the first episode and it was boring. I also don't understand how people started obsessing over it months before it even came out. I love Monty Oum and all, Dead Fantasy was awesome, but I just don't see it.

Here's why I like it:

 

The fight scenes are awesome, the premise captivates my attention, and the characters seem interesting.  What more reason do I need to keep watching it?

Thank god I thought I was the only one who hated this shit

I personally thought that trailers looked fantastic and definitely Monty Oum's work, but show itself is quite bad so far. Monty Oum strength is badass fighting scenes, not story. In first episode I was pretty much like this "What is happening, who are those guys, where am I now?" etc. Story doesn't interest me, I don't care about characters, I just want to see fight scenes. So I would prefer Dead Fantasy style where we just have those cool fighting scenes. +Voice acting is sooooooooo bad.

Also art style is throwing me off sometimes. In some scenes outlines just disappear and everything looks like frigging wax. + I don't think that OST is all that good.

Yeah i know what you mean. The fighting was all that was good.

Well, good voice acting lool I dunno, I just can't get into it myself

Yeah that's what happened with me as well, the trailers made it look intense. Then when you watch the first episode, it's like "What? Where did all that coolness go?!". And the voice acting reminds me of cheesy PS1 voice acting. Some of the animation looks creepy as well, that cookie eating scene was jank.

Yep, fighting is the only thing that was interesting

I don't think Square Enix makes that many great games.

Why? Just wondering, I'm not saying its a bad thing or not lol

Eh, Noctis just kind of looks an angry and negative person, and when I see someone with a noctis avatar it just kind of makes me think that they would be angry and negative. And when I was on khinsider, most of the people with a noctis avatar were assholes
