The watercooler: a place to chat

[VibrantFox]

personally knowing or not isn't a big deal to me (never could get into marvel or dc) but i feel like it'd either be up to time things happened or the relationship between banner and hulk even if they could be considered one in the same.

thing is i just can't see banner attending college with the ability to tranform into the hulk knowing how angry/stressed school can make a person

If you want "have a home, where I'll always be desirable, where someone will always wait for me and meet me with a smile" then you should be stop being a "caricatural" character, because other people won't accept you just because who you are, if you have at least slightest differences from "normal" behavior.

But main question here - is this worth it? Change your personality, especially if you like it (like me) to fit into society? For me answer is clear - no, I'm not going to change. And if you choose this path, you should be acknowledged that you'll never (except maybe some lucky situation, but my "luck" points is at 1, so this isn't an option) fit into society. That's the price for being yourself.
And I don't know about you, but I'm ready to pay it, and paying already. And I'm fine with it, that my way and I chose it.

I did stump a student at work yesterday when I asked if Hulk is smarter than Banner, since the change shows that Hulk's head is larger-

But from that take that would say that dinosaurs were smarter coz they were large. Also what the movies dont tell you is that the Hulk is a manifestation of all of Banner's rage and anger that formed a separate personality; that's why Hulk has a very childlike mentality- as well as the rage and anger is Hulk's power & strength unchecked.

That is not to say that Hulk is totally dumb- he does have instinct & cunning that helps him.

[DiegoPalacios]

i think he graduated from college before the gamma ray incident that transforms him XD

[nostalgicroxas]

Not exactly since Dinosaurs didn't have the components a human brain has which it should be expected that Hulk does. Least that's what I assume.

Haha! oops, I feel my comic perpetuates your theory, I ask for your forgiveness!! It is true indeed though, that intelligence in movies ect does seem to equal dangerous intent or the ability to manipulate those around us.
Bunches of examples, if we fancy wearing ourselves out, we can list them all! Maybe that's good exercise to lull us to sleep?

[nostalgicroxas]

considering your name starts with endless, i'd say that'd be a great exercise to catch some z's?

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ i'm so sick of trying to force out words when i have no clear ideaaaaa uaflkdshflsdf

I like riding trains but I can't remember riding a train this loud... XD

[LittleMissDevil]

So... I just went through my older drawing, like some really old ones and was pleasantly surprised that they weren't nearly as terrible as I remembered. Some of them where pretty damn good (though I went through some weird art phases for sure :D): I even liked the coloring on them of them better than in some of my newer stuff.

Then realized that means I haven't improved as much as I thought.

[LCT_m_a_d]

After adding background composition to my favorite panel I think I'm getting some real direction of what art I do well. Only thing is the other panels are way off so I'll need to redraw them again. At least I know what to look for

UPDATE: Was able to copy down some command prompt code to see if I can startup my "new" laptop(actually 3 yrs old) in safe mode- gonna try it tonight & see what happens. Got my old laptop up and running, but havent loaded CSP(EX) on it yet; my drivers for the Wacom tablet are still on it though...so if I cant get safe mode to boot through command prompt, then I got a backup until I can get it fixed.

In other news- still carless. Called the shop Saturday and they're still fixing on my truck; hope they will call me before today is over and tell me my truck is ready...riding public transportation after not being on it for a while feels a little nostalgic at first, but that feeling fades fast- especially when it takes about 2 hrs to get home.

I'm a lonely cat meow.

If it's an apple computer I have no clue, but windows computers it's usually "turn it on and hold a certain F key" to force it to start up in a special menu. from there you use the arrow keys to select "start-up safe mode w/o internet" and examine things.
One thing I've constantly had to do is go into the StartUp menu itself and turn off shit like java from starting when the computer starts since not every program uses that pos.

I've been debating for the last week or so if I want to start a twitter for art and I'm thinking kinda not.. I already kind of use instagram and tumblr AND dA to post art, that a fourth platform to remember might be too much @_@ I am thinking of doing a 15 day "draw every day" sort of challenge similar to inktober, but have it take place now.

[Darkstrong]

Unlike what SilentHamster102 I don't think that you have to change who you are to find someone for you. I might sound like a dumb cliche, but you just haven't met the right person yet. Unlike the cliche I will add, you might never actually meet him/her, but most likely, you will. Until then - don't fret it. There are definite pluses to being single, so enjoy this part for now. And definitely don't compromise yourself for others. I will always keep saying that if I found someone who can enjoy my partnership without Me having to compromise myself - anyone can. Let Erika and Walker from Durarara be you spirit animals and carry on.

Yeah right now I only have access to F2 and F12. F2 goes into the BIOS, and I was able to turn on the manufacturer's recovery options(Dell- but it's not doing sh*t anyways); F12 gives me "alternative" boot options, but this error isnt allowing ANY of them to work. So far this error isnt allowing me to do a system restore, repairs, reset(and save files), OR boot in safe mode...just ran the safe mode command prompt last night and nada- this sh*t is really pissing me off.

@tired_programmer and @SilentHamster102
What do you guys mean by "caricatural characters"?

[unknown_user]

@LCT-COMICS I correspond to the most negative stereotypes about so-called "strong, independent women" (LOL). I'm egoistic, arrogant, like a bunch of elements of clothes and accessories in "manly style", have a good education and work, but in the same time, I'm unhappy, feel empty inside and have a lot of bad habits at once; I can't and don't like cook and know almost nothing about all things, in which women traditionally should be good and am cynical in many life aspects. But in the same time, in the bottom of my heart, I want to be loved, as all people want. It's stereotypical up to degree of caricature and funny, but that's how it is.
Not that I seriously perceive myself as strong and independent person (LOL); of course, it's just ironical characteristic, given from society to women like me. In our society almost every woman, who goes her own way instead of following "normal" gender role and who doesn't count on men too much, is called "strong and independent". Sometimes they say it with sarcasm, sometimes with respect. But more often with sarcasm.

[unknown_user]

@Darkstrong Don't worry. I can work on fixing my weaknesses and drawbacks, but I'm not going to change key aspects of my personality for anyone's sake, no matter what.
Me is me.

[LCT_m_a_d]

It doesn't sound like you want to be loved. Here's what it sounds like.

You called yourself "egotistical" instead of "self-aware", "arrogant" instead of "confident", "have a good education and work" instead of "knowledgable and accomplished".

You chose those words for yourself, or adopted them from somewhere that does not wish you are loved. Either way, it was your choice to use them and they don't suit you.

[nostalgicroxas]

Is it just taking it a while to load anything? I've got experience with a dell laptop that shit hard and two dell towers. The towers both still work, but one is way slower than the other and loading up into safe mode on either feels like it takes eons. It's realistically "go and make a sandwich, then come back to feast" ¬¬

just been having issues with my wifi for like 2hrs. finally solved it by changing the name of the wifi i'm connecting to. stupid windows.
