I like it because I'm poor and can't afford to spend 60 bucks (plus season pass) on a 10-20 hour "cinematic experience" that you only play once.

None, because I don't need to live my life to a soundtrack. Silence can be golden.

Pray tell, how may a mere mortal like myself ever reach your levels of superiority and apparently extra sensory perception that shows you what I do all day and whether or not I enjoy silence as well?

We had an assembly once with a montage of pictures from different school sporting events set to the Smash Bros. version of Mute City. Mind you it was probably made by a student, but I though it was cool to hear that in a situation like that.

Hitler has that whole Holocaust thing going for him, and that's pretty hard to top.

The topic is asking who's the worse leader, not person.

Well if thats the case Hitler was the superior leader

He took over Germany, led a large army and managed to give the world a run for its money

Careful, Erik seems to think that having that sentiment is a bannable offense for some reason.

It was more like an 8.8 on the "why are we spending so much time and resources on this while in the middle of a world war again? This is stupid" scale.

Wait, are you not aware that they also used it for dissidents? When it was applied to other nations (and actually even in Germany later on), it wasn't just Jews being rounded up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims

It was rather specifically used to terrorize the population because not only would they grab some dissidents, but their families would be sentenced as well which is a tactic seen in other fascist states like the old Soviet Russia and North Korea.

It wasn't entirely "pointless" I know that, I gave an example above. The thing is, I feel like Hitler was still too obsessed with it, like it could have been lower on his priority list, and that is an example of bad leadership.

Oh and Erik, close your account.

OK, let me spell it out for you.

On a scale of 1-10 the Holocaust was like a 15 on the "dick move" scale. It was more like an 8.8 on the "why are we spending so much time and resources on this while in the middle of a world war again? This is stupid" scale.

If the topic was about who, between Trump and Hitler is the worse person, Hitler would obviously win because of it. However the opening post clearly asked who is the worse leader, the Holocaust being a dumb move on Hitler's part, but it's not the death blow it would be if we were talking about morals.

Get it?

I'm just saying on a "strategic" level the Holocaust was dumb, but not as bad as it is if you're looking at it from a moral standpoint. Hitler wanted lebensraum and a "pure" populace so he would have had to do it eventually, but he could have probably held off until after the war, priorities and all that.

Wait, did you just try to argue that the Holocaust was justified on MORAL grounds? -_-

What? I'm saying the morality of it is pointless to the question of if Hitler was a bad leader or not. Good Morals=/=Good Leader and vice versa.

What is it about? An angel that lays an egg?

There's a girl in a strange, abandoned land who is taking care of a large egg. One day a young man shows up and starts following her around, asking her about the egg and what might be inside.

I guess I should say it's too "artsy" to be enjoyed by most people, there are only two characters and neither of them speak much, things like that, but that's what I like so much about it. That and the art is wonderful, it's done by Yoshitaka Amano, the Final Fantasy (before 7 anyways) guy.

I almost put the Gotei 13, but that wouldn't have fit with the other groups, and the actual membership in there changed around a lot. The Sternritter had too much fodder to be considered, and the Fullbringers... Well yeah, the Espada were the best I could do.

The tech would only be good for helping prove to the right people that you are actually from the future, and selling.

The world ruling would fall on your knowledge of the future, which would be priceless.

Although after messing around in the past the future might turn out radically different, making your knowledge useless.

If things go the same as in our history then that means you've entered a stable time loop and things are probably going to go south.

Always?
What if they have a mental illness?
How severe does it have to be?
What if they choose to not take the medication to help control that mental illness?
What if they just had a large event like the death of a loved one happen which consumes them in negative emotions?
What if someone is forcing them to do something?
What is force though, a gun to your head is one thing but what if there is no threat of violence?
What if someone is emotionally manipulating them?
What if it's an order from a higher authority?
What about their age, if they're still young?
What about if they have low intelligence?

Etc. Etc. I'm not asking anyone to answer these specific questions, they're just some food for thought to help answer the question in the title.

How are you going to heat and cool? Where will you place the hot water heater? Did you set aside room for a mini fridge? Will your stove have an oven? Will you just use a laundry mat for your clothing?

To save room in some countries the toilet and shower are all together much like an insert tub but I don't know if they are widely available.

Depending on the climate where you are the roof usage is a good idea. Personally I'd want a porch too with roof access from there.

I figured maybe an underground heating system, as e cold is the main thing I have to worry about where I live. If it gets too hot, the windows are aligned in such a way and close enough together that I'd have good air flow throughout.
Yeah, the fridge would be under the counter between the sink and stove.
Hmm... I think they have relatively small wall mounted units these days right? As I wouldn't use much hot water one of those in the bath room might work.
No oven, I never use those things. I would fit a microwave in there somewhere though.
I'd wash my clothing by hand and hang it outside to dry probably, inside the shower during winter though.

Id keep the futon out all the time just cus swapping it every day will be a hassle

What if you're drunk or something and can't move it?

I meant an actual Japanese style futon, (pretty much just a fluffy, foldable mattress) not one with a metal frame.

That and cost saving are two of the main things I'm going for.

I don't really get why the average house wastes so much space and why people are always chasing after bigger and more wasteful ones. I mean I do I guess, that's just not for me.

LaggnFragnLarry posted...

where's the bedroom?

Like I said I'd just have a futon/cot in the closet and flop it down in the middle of the floor at night to sleep on.

MrMelodramatic posted...

big toilet

Yeah... Since it wasn't just some straight lines I screwed it up of course. I think I'd actually like one of those tanks above the toilet like you see in older movies set in England, it'd take up less room that way.

AdrammeIech posted...

What kind of stuff do you store on the roof?

Hmm... Maybe I'd just have a lawn chair and some plants up there so I'd have a place to relax outside.

I'd like to live in a tiny, neat place sorta like that one day. Thing is, I know nothing about architecture and all of that, so yeah.

I was going to draw a side view too, but I'm too busy tonight, so I'll just fill in the other details here.

All of the counter/table tops would be about 80cm tall.
The windows would start a meter off the ground and each be 1m tall to let in plenty of sunlight.
In between the sink and mini stove/hot plate the counter would be empty underneath to fit in a mini fridge.
The spaces under the other counter/table tops would have shelving of different dimensions.
Except in the Northwest corner, since that's where I'd be sitting in my chair, so I'd need leg room.
I would have the chair out during the day and keep a futon in the closet in the south west corner to be swapped at night.
I would also store my clothes in there.
The thing on the outside of the west wall is a ladder leading to the roof, so I could store stuff up there too.
I would have a basin of water in the bathroom to wash my hands in and just empty it/ fill it up in/with the shower.

Probably forgetting something but that's the gist of it.

The 2 jobs i've had were pretty much slave labor.

Yeah... Probably not even close to what most slaves went through, without taking into account you must have at least been making minimum wage.

Anyways, what is your degree in? If you picked something hard to get into you should have been ready to do some menial, low wage work before going straight into making the big bucks.

It's like 14 years old or something and has gotten to the point where it can hardly walk, has no control over it's bladder, and even has these seizures/muscle spasms where it makes this horribly painful screeching sound that goes on for several minutes. Lately he's bought some rather expensive medicine that has helped with the seizures, but now it just sleeps all of the time, relieving itself wherever it happens to be.

It's really a sad situation.

Actually the White Knight could be more like a generic main character, while a Defence Force character who specialised in reflecting/negating attacks with a force field could take that role. Also a roguish hacker type who does behind the scene stuff too.

You know, like Dynasty and Samurai Warriors.

Off the top of my head I can think of a defence based White Knight... knight, a strong independent woman who don't need no man as the heavy hitter, and a quirky gun slinger character who gets bonus damage and speed if they get triggered by an enemy.

This topic is just for fun, I'm not trying to offend anyone!
