Off Topic Discussion Megathread

It might be for the best if you have it removed - if it's hollow on the inside, with enough wind and rain the entire thing could come down. (It's also probably dead or dying D: )

It seems healthy aside from the couple gigantic limbs coming off. It looks to be a really, really old tree. The thing is pretty huge. There are still several more limbs still attached, it would be a shame to have it completely removed, it being an old tree, but also it provides a good amount of shade in the back. Maybe I could get it looked at or something, and just get it trimmed.

It's nice being back after being banned from the forums for 2 weeks.

Banned for what? Your guess is as good as mine.

They should show you exactly what you were banned for, and even the post that got you the ban.

If you check your email it should tell you which comment and also the reason behind it.

Last time I got banned it was because of something like '' hate speech '' and what I had said was the tamest shit ever.
Someone had made an account just to start ranting about the last US president and the US election in a thread where it was completely off topic.
And I pointed it out that it was his first post and basically said how tiresome it is that hmm, am I allowed to say it?
People from that country keep bringing that countries politics into literally everything all the time ( especially during ongoing elections ).

Apparently that was '' hate speech ''.
That was my second ban, first one was when someone was actually being racist and I called them out on it but threw in a '' f is wrong with you '' and that one insult got me my first ban.
The racist comments weren't removed and they didn't seem to get banned tho.

Yeah, I got banned for hate speech for using the censored n-word and n-word with the a in a post tl;dr'd into "Hey if you're not black, do not use the n-word"

I got a two-week vacation once for posting a "die mad about it" meme in a troll thread. I regret nothing.

I really enjoyed the big medley of different musicians in the community, it's a really cool community effort.

That one's amazing too! Honestly I'm happy I discovered Husky, he's great.

Got contacted by the store again, apparently I am not crazy it was actually an issue with their system and they've disabled ordering to pickup point until they can solve it.
They had no clue until after I contacted them.
Unlucky me, lucky someone else who won't have perhaps an even worse time because of it since it's now being resolved :P.

Tried out the demo for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. They really have learned since the first Fire Emblem Warriors and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Every class has its own playstyle, every student has their own unique ability, the protagonist is voiced and has actual personality, and the students are locked to their routes with some special units unlocking only in their route. Not to mention this game is appearing to do the butterfly effect properly, and the start of the game thus far, even to the Time Skip, does not change depending on route. You do the one for Golden Deer, it tells you in summary form what happened in the other two routes at the same time. Same if you do Black Eagles or Blue Lions. Sadly the demo is locked after the Time Skip (only allowing you to do the extra missions there but not the chapter quest), but I have to admit I'm impressed, they fixed all my complaints with the first FEW and managed to even throw enough curve balls and Author Saving Throws to make me love where the story is going. Some spoilers below because I have to gush.

I mean, you save Monica from Kronya, who then JOINS YOU IN BLACK EAGLES. You get to see Holst in Golden Deer run. The Slithers are exposed early so the story starts flowing quicker and easier. A shame this entire thing is a What If? scenario, since Shez was originally supposed to die in the first battle as that's what led to the normal Three Houses timeline.
