--- Quote from: Pesco on June 29, 2011, 11:49:53 AM ---You don't really hate Tewi that much

--- End quote ---

Outside of the irrelevant characters (as well as the Getsus since they have horrific portraits), Tewi is routinely second-to-last in my character sort rankings. The only time she was higher was when she was third-to-last and that was because I forgot what I was doing mid-sort and flubbed Koishi into the last spot so it doesn't even count.

Her one redeeming quality is that Lord Usa's Elemental Flag is pretty catchy.


--- Quote from: Nietz on June 29, 2011, 12:57:27 PM ---Why math?

--- End quote ---

Because I've been good at it since the dawn of time and I love love love problem solving. That's basically all math is; the art of creative problem solving. Just look at the SAT, for one thing. None of the math there is actually hard, it's all gimmicks and creative problem solving. (Unless you suck at arithmetic or something I guess.)

I actually took a course in college titled "Creative Problem Solving". It was a semester of math puzzles that ran the gamut from knowing useful little number theory arithmetic tricks to combinatorics to the occasional calc-useful or trig-useful (or even topology-useful) problem. It even had that puzzle where you and a friend loop ropes and then tie the ends of the ropes to your wrists and unhook yourselves. It was the most enjoyable course I ever took in my academic career.

--- End quote ---

I dusted off StepMania a couple of months ago and found I was hilariously bad at it compared to where I was when I left. It still has some kind of appeal, I guess, but I'm so removed from the community at this point that I would probably need to make my own stepfiles again to find it really entertaining, and :effort: that.


--- Quote from: Edible on June 29, 2011, 01:42:41 PM ---Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like Purvis?

--- End quote ---

Having never seen Purvis, I'm still reasonably confident my girlfriend is easier on my eyes than he is.


--- Quote from: Zengar Zombolt on June 29, 2011, 02:21:50 PM ---Rank the MMBN villains from best to worst!

--- End quote ---

I'll have to wait until I get home to do this one properly (because I will cover everyone I can remember), but I can say right now that no one is remotely in StarMan's and SearchMan's leagues. (If SearchMan even counts.)


--- Quote from: Patchourdj Knowledge on June 29, 2011, 03:20:48 PM ---How many tries do you think it took you to 3HP-clear the last part of Cave Story?
--- End quote ---

Three digits, but fairly low three digits. Probably not more than 200.


--- Quote from: Patchourdj Knowledge on June 29, 2011, 03:20:48 PM ---What would you say is the hardest decision you've had to make as staff?
--- End quote ---

Will get to this after thre MMBN villains thing.


--- Quote from: Patchourdj Knowledge on June 29, 2011, 03:20:48 PM ---Sunny, Luna, or Star?
--- End quote ---

Sunny, she seems like the type to always have a fanged smile on her face. Luna is too frowny (plus I don't like drill hair much) and Star comes off as incredibly generic for some reason. Might be the hime cut.


--- Quote from: The Adjective Colossal on June 29, 2011, 03:22:20 PM ---Have you played Star Force? Do you think it's a decent followup to the Battle Network series?

--- End quote ---

I have what I'm pretty sure is the first game in the series, but I have yet to play it because up until OoT 3DS came out my 3DS had done nothing but play GBA remakes in regular DS form.

--- End quote ---

Nope, sorry. :<


--- Quote from: herdcrabs on June 29, 2011, 06:57:41 PM ---Favorite books?
--- End quote ---

Watership Down by Richard Adams and Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell immediately spring to mind. I actually don't read as much as I should, but rabbits and Timothy Cavendish will always have a place in my heart.

I am surprised and slightly miffed that this is still relevant in any capacity. I never saw what was amusing about it in the first place.

--- Quote from: Patchourdj Knowledge on June 29, 2011, 03:20:48 PM ---What would you say is the hardest decision you've had to make as staff?
--- End quote ---

In terms of punishment vs. no punishment or light punishment vs. heavy punishment I'd actually have to say I honestly can't remember ever having to think too hard. I've been staff enough elsewhere to know approximately what I was doing before I even got here, and the overwhelming majority of decisions to be made here, at least to me, have been cut and dry.

But that's not really an entertaining answer, is it? I would have to say that the most difficult position I've taken is not wanting to immediately crucify Miki based on hearsay when it felt like everyone else around me was out for blood. I ended up being the one to get in touch with Gpop in private on a couple of occasions to try to better understand the situation (before he was eventually sent something far more heart-felt and beneficial to his understanding his position by someone else on staff that I won't name out of respect for privacy). This is not to say I didn't think she had done punishment-worthy things, but plenty of people seemed to want to hold disparaging gossip from other sources against her (that might have been true and might have not been true) and I wasn't willing to buy into it as meaningful.

I will answer this by pointing out that I coined the phrase '/d/generate'. If you wish to know more, feel free to ask further and I will answer further, but I think that might be enough for most people.


--- Quote from: U.S.C. Genichiro on June 29, 2011, 10:02:24 PM ---What's your ideal career path?
--- End quote ---

I went to college to become a math teacher because I liked math, I like helping people learn math, and it was a slam-dunk career choice at the time. Then Bush 2: Electric Boogaloo happened while I was in college and that last one sorta went completely down the tubes.


--- Quote from: U.S.C. Genichiro on June 29, 2011, 10:02:24 PM ---What's your current career path? (if different)
--- End quote ---

I currently work for a company that develops online content for various math textbooks that range from middle school material to collegiate calculus and statistics. It is actually very enjoyable because it's math combined with babby's first programming which really makes it me spending 40 hours a week doing - guess what! - creative problem solving. I think I might actually like this more than teaching because I'm still helping people learn math and I get to do it without dealing with head-in-ass administration, politics or shithead parents. Word to the wise: Unless you get class full of unrestrained assholes, parents are far and away the worst part of teaching. Kids will give you crap a lot but they also know how it really is in school because they spend almost as much time there as you do and they won't really push your buttons if you don't allow those buttons to be pushed. The parents are far worse because you effectively answer to them and they feel far more entitled to everything than their kid does.

Serialized using the first nine games. MoF and UFO didn't blow me over with their casts and I miss Eiki and Machi. :(
