I was just informed of this...
I can't say we were ever close friends, but I did consider us to be friends on some levels a few years back. We kinda drifted apart at some point though... I just don't know what to say about all of this... ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

Not really anything vanilla like in this hack, aside from the graphics. IIRC running inverted water like that has some issues in that you too easily fall out from the bottom.
Palette is fairly nice though. ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

It's really the wrong question to ask anyway. Most people don't care about TV and would rather watch on-demand stuff.
As far as TV shows goes... I still follow My little pony, and I watch the occasional anime that catches my interest. ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

I personally feel that quite many who argue against abortion make some rather absurd assertions (No I'm not implying towards anyone in this thread, rather, from what I have seen in the past.).
But before I get to that I want to tackle some assumptions made in this thread: Posted by Squiddy Posted by KP9000 Both of these train of thoughts seem to be very grounded in how it works in the united states, I personally think that if you're going to make a moral argument for a medical right as a whole then you should also take in how the argument you're trying to make work as a whole. The united states has one of the highest adoption rates in the world, and this has a lot to do with adoption legislation, but if you look at some places else... well, not the same things apply. Now, I will state that I am not an juridical expert, but I don't think anyone else here is for that matter. But as I recall, this is how adoption works in Sweden: The number of internal adoptions is at the 1-2% mark out of the total adoptions in Sweden, and the rest are so called international adoptions. And I should note that judged next to birthrates Sweden has as a whole less % adoption as a whole compared to the US. Why is that? Well, one of the main reasons for this is that we simply don't have drop in drop off baby place. (And in-fact, I am highly critical towards those in the first place.) In Sweden you have an obligation as a parent to take of your child, and if you're unable (as judged by court.) the baby will be given to someone within your own family that is judged capable to taking care of it. There are very few scenarios where the child goes to a complete stranger. So as strange as it may be to say it, Sweden has babies for adoption as an import goods. Now, I'm not bringing this up because I necessarily agree with the Swedish system or think it's the most optimal. (It's currently very hard for a same sex couple to have a child.) But rather, I bring it up as a counter point. Adoption laws work different in every country that has them, and not every country does. This is critical to take into account if you're to make a moral argument. :/ Food for thought perhaps? --- Now secondly, I'll get into what I mentioned at the very top of my post. A lot of the debate on adoption forgets two points that I consider critical! The first of those is the health of the mother. Now, there is usually not a problem for everyone to agree on the physical health of the mother, and in such cases most people consider it acceptable. But there is more to a human than bodily health, and I'd assert that mental health is just as important. Ever considered how horribly it must be like for the mother (and potentially father) to carry a child and be forced to bring it out to the world, yet for some reason don't want it, or perhaps they are armed with the knowledge that they'd be unable to provide for it? I can only imagine the mental state such a mother would be in as she carries the child. And it doesn't really matter if the child is to be given up to adoption afterwards, in fact, that might just make it worse. And for what? So that someone else out there can take the moral high ground and say that the life brought into the world is precious? Even though they don't seem give two rats ass what happens to the child after wards, and even though they have no intentions of taking care of that life themselves. Which leads me into my second point. I find it thoroughly pretentious that there are people out there who say they should and can decide and make such a judgement on others peoples lives without any sort of knowledge about them, everyone situation is different. Yes, if people are given the right to abort there will be those who uses that right for banal reasons. But you know what? I would be willing to stake a lot that such a group of people would in the very small minority. And the possibly positive consequences from allowing abortion? Priceless. And that's not an assumption, the US don't exist in a vacuum, you need only look at other countries. --- Lastly, I'd like to make an assertion, and that is that law and legislation should strive to be as free from morals as possible. (Which is not easy, after all, that murdering someone is bad is just a moral.) In cases such as abortion, where there are quite many views on it and various different moralities, I'm of the personal belief that legislation should not take a moral side, but rather, should strive for a more objective approach. (Which in this case would be one that looks at benefits and problems from a medically scientific viewpoint.) ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

I made several argumentations in my post, it'd be nice to know which one you refereed to.
Regardless of which one though, you're miss-using the word genocide. ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

Well, if all you can possibly exert from my perspective is to equalise what I think with hitler than I'm afraid we have reached the floor with this discussion.
I'm not even sure how you draw your conclusions again. Even though your theoretical statement is absurd it it's own right, the first argumentation which you say proves your point actually goes against what you're saying. Regardless, the sheer absurdity with your statement mostly points towards you completely missing the point anyway. The first argumentation is about that the layman should not be one to judge others over situations they have no stakes in, and the later half points out that we already know the benefits of what having abortion available is, so it's not an unknown what the outcome would be. The second one is one of my own personal ideological beliefs in law making. In which while I want law making to strive to be as free from moral as possible (especially when there are scenarios where the population have wildly different opinions on the subject.) I do acknowledge that it's not necessary always supposed to be that way. Firstly, you seem to misunderstand the former argument completely, secondly you strawman the second argumentation. And thirdly you equalise my view point with hitler to antagonise me. And fourthly, the act of genocide is per definition of the word impossible to apply to fetuses. Fifthly, you brought in ethnicity into the debate even though it's irrelevant. So no, if this how high the celling of this debate goes, then I have no interest in taking part. Since clearly, there is no interest in actually performing intellectual debate. ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

Will there be a way to tell coin blocks from those with powerups in them? Otherwise it may turn into a game of memorisation before you can enjoy the hack. ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

I'm fairly familiar with SMB3, and I know where powerups are in certain levels. But I can't say that's true for the wast majority of them. It's a very cool concept for an hack, and I'd think it would be a shame if it was limited to only those who have played to death and memorised each and every level. 
Maybe release two version? *shrug* ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

I don't get it. To me it seems like people are getting unproportionally upset over these things. (Although, I should note, I haven't even seen one in Sweden.)
I really can't get myself to care about if people waste their money on a useless novelty item. ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |

So, I have been playing the new Terraria 1.3 update in expert mode. You have to adapt some new tactics in order to beat the harder bosses:

It might be bogus, but it is true that the two companies were in the works to develop an system set-up like this. Though the fact that it has no Nintendo logo is very suspicious. ____________________ Broken layout got nuked. :v |
