Do you feel like you're going crazy?

I do, mostly thanks to college and last Friday. >_>

That, and I read Twilight on the same Friday of the...event.

pronunciation seems to be the worst part of this name.
I want it to sound like Roh-Kay, but a lot are saying Rocke like Croak, or Rogue with a K sound.
It's too confusing. I love the name on paper, but admittedly, saying it outloud it isn't the greatest.
pity. Really liked this one.

I found a Poptart box in my closet (expiration date: Jan 9th, 2007) with all my old N64 instruction booklets in it, along with one GameBoy Color book, two GameBoy Advance books, one GameCube book and posters for both the original Morrowind and GOTY overworlds.

I'm probably sitting on a gold mine right now because this documentation was mostly lost to time like the cardboard boxes the games came in, but I'd need to find some buyers and that's just too much effort. Diddy Kong Racing might make for some good reading material, though.

It's crazy to think that today's young people were born after these games came out while I was very much alive and conscious of the world around me. I feel like I've started down that slope into technological old person that people in their thirties who remember Christmas wishing for the NES have been living with for years. I still remember going to Best Buy and looking at all the N64 games inside those plastic security boxes (Blockbuster used the same ones for VHS tapes) with the little yellow strip price tags below them and how some of the games were really cheap because they were really crap. And when you'd bring a game home and you'd open the plastic bag that the game came wrapped in and it still had that slightly warm "new game smell" straight from the factory.

~Ohh~

Finding buyers for that sort of content is quite easy actually. People are willing to pay a decent amount of money for well preserved manuals.

OR, you could preserve them and wait for their value to increase even more.
Make an auction? Some store sites do that no?

Have you guys heard this reconstructed piece of medieval music?

Well, I'm going off the pronunciation of, like, Baroque where it's definitely said with a hard K sound at the end. You could try adding an inflection thingy. Uh, the thingy that's like e' ?

Well, you know what they say: if it ain't baroque, don't fix it.

I've changed my tune. Found a name and potential story tweak that will have tumbling ramifications in future volumes.

Going with Mios. or Mihos.
Egyptian god. Fought Apep, as did Set. Set is already at the core of the story, and Apep, better known in this story as Jormundgandr, is the main villain.
It's all kinda fit together, and I never thought to look into Egyptian myth for some reason, despite having in the middle. The heck, Dudesoft?
this is preschooler math but i'm < 3 months old so it ok.
i'm kind of confused, i'm not sure where the large gap in my knowledge is.

anyone have any idea.? my teacher is asleep.



c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = a^2 + 1/2d

the hint the notes give me, tell me to let the hypotenuses be x. but even then i don't understand why.

edit: well i argued with myself in the shower i think i may be able to come to the solution

Surely the length of d would be 5 ft, but what it doesn't account for is the possibility that one stops measuring at the beginning or end of the crossbeam, leading to two equal lengths of 2 ft 6 in but with perhaps a full inch of space unaccounted for by the crossbeam. If it's assumed that the measurement from the far side to the center (the crossbeam) is 2 ft 6 in, surely you wouldn't count the crossbeam twice.

All I'm saying is that this model has a margin of error of 1 inch and that completely invalidates the question. Realistically, you wouldn't measure from the center outward as indicated by the model but measure the entirety from one side to the other and divide by 2.

What in the name of God are they trying to accomplish here? This math is stupid.

The hypotenuse is x; the problem is that you're not solving for x.
Wh-what happened to the thread title?
Speaking of hypotenuses, I dreamed of a world governed by science. March along with the hypotenuse, march along with the perihelion. Forget the neutron, it cannot help you out.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Roqei, Ro'que or Roqué would solve the pronunciation issues while changing the spelling the least

Alternately you could just not give a shit how anyone pronounces his name

Alternately you could lampshade it and have every antagonist mispronounce his name constantly, and make the hero get annoyed about it all the time. If I were doing this I would never actually specify what the correct way was. Just have the hero be like "No! You're pronouncing it wrong! It's Roque, not Roque!" so that the audience is left twice as confused as before.
anyways a two legged robot on slack managed to point me in right direction.

first off. 1/2d not 2d IDIOT
