It's the things with the numbers on them. They let you "pick" which person to call, thus the name "picksels"

[Lunikyuu]

ah, I see, people with 4000 of them must be able to call a lot of people then

The other day my coworker was explaining what 4k was to a customer. He said it means it has 4 thousand pixels.

Well I mean he's not totally wrong. It does have ~4k pixels per row, lol.

I'm not holding my breath on the Mario game. It looked like a demo to me. They did the same thing with the Wii U when they showed that Zelda demo with the Twilight Princess-looking Link fighting a giant spider.

I might think the same thing if it didn't have a new species. That makes me feel that, at the very least, it's indicative of something being worked on

It's Halloween in a week so it's probably time for Halloween avatars :0

Not that it matters to me because our house is at the top of a long drive on a busy road so we get like no trick-or-treaters ever.

Luckily for me most of my avatars can easily count as Halloween avatars to begin with so I don't even need to put out the effort for one. (Also covered for Christmas with one of them, lol.)

They say if you stare closely into my avatar around this time of year, you can see the Ghost of Spoopmas Future.

Hello. I'm here for the sweets.

Also for the arbitrary pumpkin progress update:

It's on the table.

[Whimsical Calamari]

congratulations to the pumpkin!

[SAJewers]

So, this just got greenlit.

And, now it's out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/516750/

[Ivy]

all of my pumpkins were violated by squirrels, save for one which is now deflated to half its size and squishy to the touch

[Ashan]

Halloween is bad and for satan worshippers

[raekuul]

yay I spent all day yesterday running chkdsk on my os hard drive now it actually works

I realized I am lonely so I tried downloading Tinder and it said I have to log in with a Facebook account and I'm like 'fuck you I already deleted mine'.

So I guess I have to make peace with the fact I'll die alone, also the fact that there is no coffin emoji, apart from this shitty thing ⚰

[Le Neveu de Rameau]

One must have a Facebook account these days even to gather small sticks and wood shavings? Such knavery! Nevertheless, here is a sweet song to soothe your lonely sole. You may empathize with whichever of the three protagonists you think best reflects your own plight. If you opt for the third, feel free to re-record the final chorus off oo's in a more appropriate phonation.

On a vaguely tangential note. I never understood why dying alone (in the more immediate sense of "alone", as opposed to friendless and unloved) got such a bad rap. It always struck as a bit of a personal moment, you know? Who wants to have a bunch of rubberneckers and looky-loos gawking at you and asking stupid questions while you're trying to make your final peace with the world? You get enough of that tomfoolery during the rest of you life, how's about a nice breather for your final breath, eh?

[Ivy]

at least I can still download more RAM without linking my facebook account.

I don't like Tinder. I find people (including myself) just don't look as good in photos as they do in real life. I don't know if it's because I'm really nitpicky, but when I look at a picture of someone I notice really weird things that you don't see when a person is in motion. Not to mention the way a person moves, and acts, and where you see them, and who they're with can tell you a lot more about a person than what you get from a few photos. Maybe that's way too much I'm expecting given what Tinder is, but the whole thing seems very shallow.

Also I had a kinda bad experience with it where I matched with this cute chick that was really cool and everything, and I asked her out (I think I posted in this thread about that when it happened even) but eventually she just stopped talking to me and I found out later she ended up dating this guy she had went to highschool with, which explains why she stopped talking to me. I'm still kinda in contact with her cause we have each other on Facebook and Instagram and she also goes to my university (and actually I ran into her last week, which was like, the first time I really met her in person even though it was literally an exchange of "hey"s as we walked past each other) but I'm really bad at the whole thing and Tinder seems like an easy way to make it happen. That's probably more of a me issue though.

[InsaneIntentions1]

Dunno if okcupid would be much better for you. That's where I met one of my exes.

[Ashan]

She was your ex when you met her?

[Mata Hari]

Some people just have that effect on people.

[InsaneIntentions1]

clearly

[Ashan]

I broke up with Insane before I met him too

[aka Cthulhu]

Well, the daily news show here has begun it's Christmas countdown, so I feel this song would be fitting,

[Bean]

If it's before American Thanksgiving, it's too early for Christmas stuff.

My local outdoor shopping center started putting their Christmas decorations up two weeks ago. Giant ornament pile sculptures and lights and everything. Mid-October. :/
