The Post Your Thoughts of the Moment Thread 2

(1) This is literally only the second time I had a long conversation with her,

Find an opportunity to have a private conversation; be resolute! I know that it can be difficult to find a time or place to arrange such a meeting with anyone that you're not already close friends with, but if you're really determined, you should pursue this.

Don't push your boundaries, but practice time together is a great excuse to spend time with her. Also, see this (sleazy video thumbnails aside, there is some great science here):

And of course, see part 2 as well.

but practice time together is a great excuse to spend time with her.

I'm inclined to think that this might not be the best idea; it might make it seem less "personal," and not really provide a good opportunity to become friendlier or express romantic feelings. Once or twice may be fine, but I personally wouldn't bank on it.

Try asking to grab a bite to eat after practice one day.

Nah just go "yo babe, let's get married" after practice

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Nah just go "yo babe, let's get married" after practice

This kills the relationship.

My parents aren't home yet from a concert. I'm... worried.... I'm not gonna go to bed until they get home...

I'm not going to go straight for it right now, I was planning on waiting until after the recital to do anything.

My parents aren't home yet from a concert. I'm... worried.... I'm not gonna go to bed until they get home...

This happened to me once, well sorta, my parents went somewhere and I was home alone and they were supposed to be back at 11pm but when it was 11pm, they weren't bacl :O (This wasn't a big sorta deal.)

nah bro playin piano together is the best way to awaken feelings bro trust me im a psych minor. Anything exciting/exhilarating that gets the heart going, when done in presence of someone else, is more likely to make you like that other person. Psychology.

If you really wanna go from a psych perspective here are the 5 things that lead to attraction, both friend-attraction and love-attraction
1) Physical proximity
2) That the other person likes you (so if you make it clear you're fond of her, as a friend or as a romantic interest, she's more likely to like you back)
3) Relationship rewards, e.g. is each other's presence fun? do you get a lot out of being around each other?
4) Physical attractiveness, there's no way to control this other than tidying up a bit before piano rehearsal tho
5) Similarities - friendship is more likely to bloom if you guys have similar interests and similar personality types. Make a point to find out what she likes and see how you can connect with her on that.

Lol, to me when you said #psychology, I read it like you were relaxed saying "fresh".

[BlackDragonSlayer]

1) Physical proximity

Just don't overdo it.

3) Relationship rewards, e.g. is each other's presence fun? do you get a lot out of being around each other?
4) Physical attractiveness, there's no way to control this other than tidying up a bit before piano rehearsal tho

Mileage may vary.

5) Similarities - friendship is more likely to bloom if you guys have similar interests and similar personality types.

Yup! Narcissism!

Make a point to find out what she likes and see how you can connect with her on that.

I've heard way too many awkward stories relating to this. I mean, I suppose it's fine to do as long as you don't overdo it and try to paint a picture of someone you're not, or express great interest in things that would otherwise would be completely unbearable for you.

So yesterday I went to Gävle (a city somewhat north of Stockholm) to play some smash melee. It was me and a friend of mine (Richard, aka Slime) from Stockholm. And we destroyed them pretty hard. Were not even on Stockholm PR (top 20) but the Gävle scene was way worse than Stockholm, so tourney was pretty free. I auto-piloted with my Falcon through the bracket pretty much, the only real threat was they're best player, Sondre, whom I lost to in winners but won over in losers, after learning more about the Icies MU and playing more aggressively and less safe/careful. After that I lost to Slime, he's a very solid player, slightly better than me, but the games was pretty close until the last game where I pretty much gave up. And after that we had a PM tourney, it was just as easy. In this tourney the matches against Sondre was even easier. My Olimar did some work against his Snake. When I faced Slime it was even more even than in Melee, but I didn't have a good answer to his lame air-camp with Ivy, and his razor-leafs so I lost. But the games were even and I almost won against him in winners finals.
So in the end the results were:

Melee:
1 Slime
2 Tobbeh99
3 Sondre

Project M
Slime
Tobbeh99
Sondre
(the same lol)

Good job!

[Tobbeh99]

Thanks! Was really funny just rampaging through the braket, don't really happens in Stockholm being such a stacked scene.

According to TV Tropes, the PS2 is weaker than the GameCube...? I know that it had more memory on its discs, but memory =/= power. I don't know much about console specs though, and the Wikipedia lists bore me.

Which leads me to something else I've been thinking of for a while. Enter the Dragonfly is a PS2 game which was later ported to the GameCube. About a third of the content had to be cut out of the game due to time constraints during development... is ETD so short that it takes up half of a PS2 disc?

That doesn't explain how A New Beginning is on GameCube, though, since that game is also really short because it has about five FMVs in it. Apparently, the FMV at the end of The Wind Waker took up half the disc.

Any experts here?
