"What Are You Thinking Now?"

[Quickman]

Ouch!  You may have torn something in your throat.  Coughing too hard can do that.  Keep an eye on it, though.  If it's accompanied by sickness, get your ass to a hospital posthaste.

[SAKAKI]

So I just coughed up a little blood.
Wonder what that was all about.

Well...
If you cough a lot, it means that you could have managed to hurt your throat or something, hence the blood.

Other than that....

[Clefant]

I've coughed up a little more, but not much. Its not coming from a nosebleed so it must be something from my throat, I did notice it feels a little strange.
Guess I'm getting Xing-Ke Disease.

[Quickman]

Do you have a sore throat?  You may have torn something from coughing too hard or something.  I've coughed up blood after coughing too hard.  Particularly if I accidentally inhale something and cough it back up, I sometimes will cough up blood.

[Reaperoid]

Guess I'm getting Xing-Ke Disease.

I feel bad being the only one to notice this.

[SAKAKI]

I feel bad being the only one to notice this.

You're not.

Why is it that most spriters these days are using legs about the size of the scout's for their sprites? It's difficult to do if your character wears armor platings. 

[Clefant]

Ugh, if I want to risk Heat Stroke by going out in 90-100 Degree Weather that's my problem. If I don't want to wear Short Sleeves and stupid summer [parasitic bomb], that is also my problem, for fucks sake I tell them day in and day out that I feel uncomfortable in short sleeves, and by extension I feel uncomfortable not wearing my Jacket, without it I have no pockets except for the worthless ones on my pants, If I am to carry my Zune, 3DS, Cell Phone (Occasionally), Keys, and Wallet, I cannot use my pants pockets.

Of course, if they start forcing me to wear shorts I'll just not even leave the house.

I know I should mind my own business but what the heck is up with your parents?

[Clefant]

I know I should mind my own business but what the heck is up with your parents?

They want me to be safe, which should be the least of their concerns.

On another note, they said they will get me a new PC for my birthday, but they will only get some shitty Pre-built one, and they don't seem to want to set a price, with $1500 being a "Maybe".

They say they want me to have what I want but all it really seems like is that they want something that will work for School, while being completely worthless for anything other than [tornado fang]ing Word and the Internet.

[Sakura Leic]

$1,500 as a maybe that's a lot dude, my mom only let's me spend $600.  I'm sure you'll find something even if it is pre built.  How much does it cost to build a good computer anyway?

[Quickman]

I can't even spend $600 on a computer.  I'm looking at off-the-shelf models for $300.

To be fair, it is. But I know somebody who said that they can get a much better computer for what I want it for (Gaming), at $1100, though that's just the components, I would have to build it myself. They don't want that because then I would have to install stuff and they don't want me to screw up because they apparently don't understand what warranty is.

[Gaia]

They probably are being picky about computers, my dad has managed to do a dual screen monitor and set up two computers, one in the bedroom, and one in the living room, hooked up to both TVs. I mostly use this laptop for spriting, and the one in the backroom I have is for gaming, considering this one is weaker when playing games like TF2 or GMod.

[Quickman]

My computer is at least eight years old and only has one gig of RAM.

ONE GIG.

Mine has less.

768 MB.

[Quickman]

Finally!  Someone who understands the trials and tribulations of having an old, crappy computer!

[Clefant]

Yeah, it'll be nice to get an upgrade.

I'll actually be able to watch a youtube video without it getting stuck multiple times.

[Quickman]

Some day... I'll hopefully get to find out what that would be like...

Until then... Buffering.

Worse, when the audio continues and the video gets stuck.

[Quickman]

Ugh, I hate it when that happens. 

Or, when the audio refuses to stream without breaking and skipping.  I try to just listen to music and YouTube sounds like I'm playing a scratched CD.  Woe betide me if I switch to a different tab so that I can work on stuff.

[Reaperoid]

Youtube gets stuck all the time now anyway, now that they made videos only load ahead a certain amount after you pause

[Karai]

Psh, weaklings. I'm still working on a PC with 384 MB. Works like a charm, it's just a matter of keeping it in shape.
XP + Opera is a very good combo. YouTube likes to get stuck only when using Flash, HTML5 runs smoothly, but it's not always available.

[Irgy]

Currently on laptop with slow wireless connection meself, so I get to share the pain of near-56k once more. Haven't had this for almost 5 years.

A few days before we left for this cottage though, I had just gotten my new $1.5k computer set up and was installing stuff on Steam with a 1.5-2MB/sec connection. #firstworldproblems etc ;;

I still have yet to understand why they keep continually making the Youtube Player shittier and shittier.
