Here's my problem with online dating.

The way you normally start to date people is by striking up conversation somewhere that you both happen to be, typically because of a shared interest, at a time in both of your lives when you feel ready to do so.

Both at Starbucks? Hey, you both like overpriced but awesome coffee.

Meet a B&N? You're both avid readers, or possibly board game players. Great.

Meet at a strip club? You're both desperate for something. It works out.

But I find that most people on online dating websites don't feel "ready" to date. They feel forced to date. They feel the need to actively seek out a partner, whether it's because a friend or family member pestered them to do so, or they have some stupid social shame for being single for too long, or they just feel lonely. None of these are great mutual reasons to hook up with someone.

Do you mean Mothra?

Yes and I love you for understanding.

Sports are just as over rated as movies and TV shows.

At the end of the day you're still just watching someone perform a skill.

With that said... I watch eSports regularly and love it. And I'm sure most people who condemn sports as entertainment are in approximately the same boat as me.

We all have a little Whitman in us.

My room is literally just a bed, tv, and bookshelf. Not really worth posting.

It's funny. But I really do think NG is the last man standing. Now that I think about it, NG is pretty damn special. I used to visit a few others back in the day but they're all gone.

@ op

You pretty much answered your own question in your first post. EXP....

However I always watch videos through to the end before voting on them. As a former art student I understand entirely how indifferent participation can be insulting.
90% of my in-class critiques were filled with "i liek it" and "u did good job" and "buzz word buzz word I'm too wasted to make a real comment".

Oooh... I misunderstood him, proving your point.

Isn't it kind of conceited to judge your own intelligence and talent?

Anyway, a jock is basically a sports nut who has little or no interest and skill in other activities, generally intently focused on doing well on a school/university sports team.

For some reason Im curious who you guys are like.
Meh answer:
Straight all tho I have nothing against gays.
Smart
Jock
sorta well talented

1. Neither you bigoted shit
2. Dumb - you don't have to contemplate the issues of life or understand that you are constantly being screwed over by every possible party in your life. You get to just live in a drunken stupor and die with a smile on your face and bent over with your pants around your ankles, just the way the government wants you to.
3. Jock - in combination with #2, you get to also be the center of attention in the years where stroking your ego is most important.
4. Talented - if you can manage to be dumb AND talented, you'll be set. You can make money with little effort and have fun doing it.

Gotta agree that just "being yourself" is the best way to communicate and keep someone's attention. It's cliche and oversaid, but it's true. When you try being something you're not, you give off a douchey vibe. Plus when you eventually get tired of acting you completely ruin any friendship or relationship you had with the person.

You'd be surprised at how easy it is to just walk up to someone and say hi. Ask if you can join their activity, conversation, etc. (oh, are you guys talking about x? Goddayum hoes, I love x!)... Or just strike up conversation.

Even if you are a little nervous at first, most people understand and won't be dicks about it. They'll probably find it flattering that you're breaking out of your personality to try to actually talk to them. And if they are dicks about it, they aren't the kind of people you really want to be talking to anyway.

I'm having issues with my construct 2 game where when I play through my game the graphics seem to disappear?

Anything will help!

Thanks.

Yeah can't really help you without the cap file, but here's something I've experienced that might help...

Check your Z orders. If you have multiple sprites drawing on the same layer (i.e. a background image and a few objects), if the background ever refreshes or changes for some reason it will cover some of the other sprites. They will seem to disappear.

The best idea to fix it on your own is to run the game in debug mode. Do a little creative problem solving. Check the object list on the left and see how many instances are present before and after the disappearance. Check their coordinates, variables, etc. and try to figure out if something is messing up in your events. The step mode can be really useful if you manage to figure out how to recreate the problem, as it will allow you to see exactly when the problem occurs.

Anyway, good luck.

I've been searching for a while with no luck.

Any idea how to incorporate Vungle ads into Construct 2? I'm not a programmer but I know my way around code, so I could figure out any coding necessary. Any help would be appreciated.

This, there's always an offhand chance that the person in question is actually innocent. Wouldn't be fair to put someone in jail for a crime they didn't commit.

Yet it still happens all the time. The legal system is flawed beyond belief and infected by a plague of idiots. But that's inevitable. At least it functions to some degree.

Looking for male voice actors, one who speaks Portuguese fluently, and one who speaks English with a British accent, to voice a soccer/football announcer.

PM me if you're interested. Feel free to send some voice samples.

Sample line: "Off the inside of the post and in!"
Translate the above to Portuguese if you are applying for that position.

Deadline for voices is Monday (short notice, I know!)

All-around artist/animator up for grabs. Can devote 10hr/wk on average.

Sorry about that. I forgot about it. At the time I wasn't using newgrounds regularly.

If you want, I can put a listing up now.

I forgive you. That would make me love you again.

odesk.com - freelancing website, you can get paid via paypal if you don't want to use a bank account. A lot of it is skilled work but you can do data entry or basic writing jobs for some cash to start out.

That was the complete wrong list, sorry I'm a little woozy right now. But my statement still stands

Just turned 23 yesterday
I don't do drugs (any more)
I freelance and make anywhere from $10/hr to $50/hr depending on the project

I don't really care much, but guys I'm so friggan bored today! I can't wait to just go to work tomorrow and DO something!

TL;DR I'm really bored and it's my birthday so I made a thread.

Oh nice, we have the same birthday.

By the way - we share a birthday with Morgan Freeman.

And a JPop singer named Nami Tamaki.

Just letting you know.

A 14 year old that has moved on

You're gonna be drooling at another sack of meat in a few months - people have been "desperate" since the dawn of civilization and if you are truly at a maturity level where you can focus on education, life goals, and life fulfillment before getting googly eyes over a boy/girl for more than a month, either something is wrong with you or you are well beyond your years (in which case, props).

Yeah. The key point here is that "worth" =/= revenue.

Dingbats.
