Truer words have never been spoken.

At work we use Windows XP virtual machines because of our hardware, being designed to run Windows CE 6.0. The development tools do not run outside of Windows XP (we have had limited success in getting Visual Studio 2005 to run on Windows 7 or above). We cannot upgrade the Visual Studio because it d...

Congrats, Ivic! You deserve this and will be an awesome admin ^.^

Farquaad interrogates gingerbread

My understanding is that there's been research into the question of hard work vs. talent, and the conclusion is that at least believing that a skill can be learned greatly improves the probability that someone will be successful at it. On the other hand, believing that you either do or do not have a...

I think a big piece of talent that isn't talked about much is whether or not you just enjoy doing something. I know for myself, I want to draw and get some upper body strength, but practicing and doing strength exercises are very boring to me, so I've never improved much at either despite trying sev...

I'm not taking a full break, but I am avoiding Facebook and reading too much of the news for a while... I've been getting too worked up over politics and need to get away from it and enjoy what I have that actually affects me and makes me happy on a day-to-day basis.

I think one of the biggest reasons I love anthros is because they remind me of ancient mythologies and very imaginative children's books. I absolutely love the imagery from those two genres of story, and I spend a lot of my time thinking about existentialism, so the themes of myths and some trippier...

For me, one of the most important songs I've listened to is Big Cat by Afro Celt Sound System. dl-l03pzFVA The piece is a mix of electronic dance music and traditional African and Celtic music. I first heard this song about the time I started writing music back in middle school, and it captured my i...

A Hat in Time is the most fun I've had with a video game in several months. It's a 3D platformer collectathon that feels a lot like Super Mario 64, and it's filled to the brim with charm :3 Okami is a beautiful game. You play as Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess, as she battles demons who threaten...

Zeki looked around the group, furiously trying to make sense of what was going on around him. These people couldn't possibly be out to get him, could they? He looked at the possum. "It's not my ship. I, uh, I found it crashed here. You can take it." Zeki decided to see what happened to him next befo...

Zeki listened to his three hunters intently. Quote frankly, he was confused. One of them complained loudly about some kind of itch and started flailing on the ground while one of the others said something incredulous to him. This wasn't the kind of cat-and-mouse game he was expecting. So he was quit...

Sure, you just want the ship. I don't believe that for a second, Zeki thought. The falcon had just found the ship himself half an hour ago. He was directly behind the spaceship, trying to repair it, a side panel opened up with the ship's insides spilling out onto him. Luckily, the three military pe...

Galahad wrote:It turns out that dromaeosauridae, which includes raptors, had excellent binocular vision (which means the line of sight from each overlapped) of up to 60 degrees. Hence, they could look at objects the same way as humans, dogs, and cats do.

Whelp, I was wrong xD

Galahad is going to go do something most raptors love to do - go for a long, steady run in the outdoors. It's about time I got out of from these four walls. Running is amazing! If I spend too much time indoors, I go very stir-crazy. I have to go for a walk or run outside multiple times a day to kee...

Some people change their fursonas like the average person changes their underwear. He's talking about meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I eventually decided, after continuously changing mah Sona to go with a shapeshifter and just be whatever I wanted whenever I wanted!!! soooo... i mean that works :P Oooohhhh......

That's miserable, Rusted Hydra @______@

How did the day turn out? Do you get a chance to rest now?

Trying to summon himself into existence.

After talking to Galahad, I have my character for the RP figured out: Name: Zeki Tiryaki Species: Falcon Sex: Male Age: 28 Class: Programmer Physical Appearance: Sky blue with white tips on the ends of his wings. A little shorter than average. In good shape and somewhat muscular. Wears crisp, high-q...

I'm trying to figure out what my fursona is. It's a little difficult for me for a couple of reasons. To be honest, while I do want to be a part of the furry community, I don't know that I'll ever be the absolute biggest fur and I'm still warming up to the idea of really embracing my inner fuzz, so I...

Good news, everyone! There is an electro-swing fan remix of We Are Number One.

I know, I know - this is the most important news you've heard all week. No need to thank me.

I haven't had the opportunity to play any of the Persona games myself, but I've seen friends play. Holy crap, those games have style @______@ The art, music, and level design based on symbolically representing characters' internal lives instead of the usual trope levels like caves and old temples ar...
