Originally posted by JesperOriginally posted by BanedonTrust me, not everyone's English is as bad as Kitten Yiffer's But in daily life, next to none will answer you in English if you adress them in English. Younger people will, but I'm not bothering to talk to the cashiers at grocery stores anymore (I used to try on the rare occasions I went alone, if not, Adrian does the talking to keep the awkwardnesslevel low. None of them would answer my obviously non Swedish sounding greeting, or a simple question such as 'where can I find this or that?'), even though I probably appear to be generally stupid and rude. I voted for Sweden because of the social system brought up in previous posts. The most wonderful things I want to mention, because I'll be making use of them some day, is the healthcare (don't get sick here if you're not Swedish, because it'll cost you an arm and a leg. However, if you are Swedish, going to see a doctor will be like getting yourself a drink. Though buying a drink might cost more. (medication bills excluded, ofcourse) In Belgium, just seeing a doctor costs alot, which is holding a lot of people of actually going regularly.) and schooling opportunities. (Everyone gets the same ammount of money, based on the intensity of their schooling. If you attend college/university after highschool, you get money based on the package you chose; i.e. going to school fulltime nets you the max amount, signing up for less courses gives you less money. And it's perfectly possible to focus just on studying then, because you get more money than some (part time) jobs get you per month. Compared to the Belgium system of student money, this is heaven, because you can continue your studies, no matter what your social background is. (In Belgium, your parents' income from the two years before you start studying determine how much you get. In best case, this is ~3 times less then what a Swedish fulltime student gets, and you need to go through alot more trouble to get it, pay fees I couldn't translate for Adrian because they simply don't exist here, and so on.) Swedes seem to be healthier overal then Belgium people. From my current findings, I have some points that might be valid to come to such a conclusion; tap water is safe to drink here, and it tastes pretty good too  The most popular non alcoholic drink here seems to be 'saft', a syruplike liquid in a variety of fruit tastes that needs to be diluted with water in a 1:10 ratio. Even the brand stuff is about ten times cheaper compared to a single bottle of, say, coke.In Belgium, no one drinks regular tap water, because alot of the living areas are too near to industrial areas, which may or may not contaminate the ground water. It's safer to down a bottle of coke instead, as storebought water and coke go for the same price anyways. Going to a doctor in Sweden doesn't hurt your wallet as much as in Belgium, and it seems often all sorts of specialists are grouped in one building or otherwise close to one another. When I had to go to a specialist back home, it'd be to a hospital an hour away -.- I think this kinda makes the barier lower to go to a doctor when you need to, knowing you'll still be able to eat at the end of the month. Some other random facts; Swedish people apparantly consider Ikea furniture as cheap crap, and find it highly amusing that the rest of the world loves it as designer furniture. Swedes down milk like crazy. This might have to do with milk only lasting about a week after it gets delivered to the stores. I found that very odd, since Belgian stores offer pasterized(?)(treated on high temperatures to kill bacteria and up the time it stays good) milk only. They have a serious sweet tooth aswell, nearly every store that sells some kind of food sells both prepacked and lose candy. Swedish woman aren't all blonde, blue eyed and huge busted. It tends to lean more to the opposite, in fact. Swedes have a great respect for nature, and this includes the governement and I think even the industrybranches. I can understand why though, and would recommend anyone who likes some relaxing environments to consider Sweden.. just don't steal my rock at the lake ---- Don't take my opinions as facts, these are just some things that have stayed with me over the time I've spent in this country |

That's actually why I got the first 3 episodes, because it seemed so odd for smoochie anime to be at the top. And it had gotten alot of votes and positive reviews. |
And whenever I looked it up, it scored high.

I wish they'd rerelease it with improved graphics. (just replacing the Lego cubes with the same character models as in battle, and adjusting the backgrounds etc accordingly). |
Perhaps throw in some extra's (new materia, several endings to include the hidden characters, perhaps even include the whole rumor thing where you could resurect Aeris by being nice to her and talk to her spirit in the church and stuffs like that) and/or make it harder to beat, and I'm sure they'll have a topsale on their hands again.

Why did they take them down? Which specific rules were you breaking? |

Rain eyed Ranma, and just figured she'd follow her instincts. |
"Well, we sort of know you, maybe.." She winked and hooked the gun on her back. It was starting to get rather heavy, she really needed to come up with a lighter design. Rain shook her head and brought her left hand to it. "My, my, I really need to focus on the matter at hand. Well, I guess we could call you Ranko while it lasts, ne?" Rain smiled and hooked her arm into Two's arm, and dragged her in. "Let those two talk, they need some time alone, let's go grab some snacks in the meanwhile, they never talk that long anyway, but you know..." Her voice faded out as they went deeper into the schoolbuildings, leaving Ranma and Anya to talk things over.

It doesn't really matters if their rules are dumb or not, if you want your fics to be hosted there, you'll have to abide by them. |
If you can't comply with that, you'll have to look for other hosting.

There's no deadline, so nothing's keeping her from entering when she has the time to get to it |

...uck. |
I got to floor 10 and they handed my ass to me, despite everyone being closing in on lvl 150-ish. 20+ levels, some equipment and stuffs lost, because they have so little  Oh well, I suppose I'll breeze through stuff now I know where to get my treasures and all. (and let me guess, you're suposed to be around lvl 200 in the upper levels?-.-)

Originally posted by SpiritEssence I would've said so if it was made by someone else. I'm not into the whole ripping someone else's stuff. Everything but the character (whom is Alouette from La Pucelle Tactics) was made by me, though I think any idiot could do it. It's a mixture of filters, styles and brushes. I know that's as much as saying nothing at all, but that's what it boils down to.

Before you all jump on to her, I think she meant cutting the image from the background (to me, cropping is basically removing the uneccesairy parts of a picture, thus making it smaller in size (not neccesairly making the filesize smaller though). |
If SE is really only 9 years old, then she has a very stabil hand and good eye. The lasso tool is pretty hard to use properly. I've got two pointers for you, if I'm right in you just cutting the image out, rather than actually drawing it - you got sloppy on the horse's tail. if it takes really long to cut the picture out, take some breaks inbetween so you can unwind a bit, you'll be able to concentrate better afterwards. - you should've saved it in higher quality, because it's very fuzzy in certain spots (you can do this with the 'save for web' option.

Get photoshop and I'll teach you how to do something like that in about 2 minutes (the background anyway). It might take a bit longer if you haven't used photoshop much though. |

I'm not a big fan of horses (now if it would've been My Little Poney |
 ), but it looks decent enough. You can spiffy it up in anything from Paint onward though. (i.e. remove the lines you don't want to see, make the bg pure white in case you ever feel like cging it, stuffs like that).It can't be worse than mine XD

I've used both pretty much, but photoshop>paint. it doesn't take that long to load, about 3 seconds just now  Isn't this showing x-y coordinates, btw?
