I feel like over the past few years I've seen a hundred different comics by this author and I have never once gotten the joke.

I kind of feel like if my child died as a direct result of my own stupidity and negligence I probably would find a way to remain in denial over that too. Maybe not for forever, but I don't think I'd be capable of facing that right after.

Not sure if that says something bad about me.

Did the Gexposter just lose interest? I remember Mary Worthposting started like a full ten days later and then all of a sudden Mary Worth is catching and passing Gex.

Absolutely loved those games. I never played all the way through 2, but I beat the first game, including wobblewok and milked 3 for more playtime than anyone should reasonably put into any videogame. I am still mourning the loss of ykw3 pvp. It was almost dead for basically the full run, but it was such good shit that I'd just hop on and leave it searching for a battle and do something else and usually someone else would get on an hour or so later. Might have been the most fun I've had playing any game. I hit S+ but was stuck there for the last couple years before nintendo shut down the pvp. I almost 100%ed that game, the only things I couldn't get done were getting to S++ on ranked battles, getting the last orignyan voice that was a prize for reaching S++, and getting the trophy for finding pandanoko or starry noko in the VIP room (very rare streetpass, almost impossible to get legitimately without living in downtown Tokyo to be nearby a lot of people who have the game).

Here's the hexbear post I made on yo-kai a year ago.

I loved how weird Hazy Lane was, amazing feature. I think the infinite tunnel in 2 was essentially the same thing, but I never did much of that one.

Also one time I was trying to look up how a game mechanic worked and I stumbled on a twitter post that was like five months old about being really impressed with a creative strategy someone used in pvp and they gave a screenshot of my profile and finding that might be the biggest high I've ever gotten from a video game.

I'm 13/15 on my posts being objectively bad.

No idea what the count is, but Tervell's record for hexbear posts with no engagement will never be topped. I swear it's been years where if I see a post that's been up more than a couple hours with 0 comments or just one comment and it's the video bot, there's like a 90% chance it's him. Just looking now, he has more posts with zero engagement in the past four days than all the posts, engagement or not, that I've made over the the five years I've had an account here. Absolute GOAT.

Gonna be honest they did the person woman man camera tv test with me when I was in the hospital with sepsis a couple months ago and I only remembered three of the words at the end, I couldn't get the last two even with reminder hints. Oh well, we can't all have the best brain.

I was almost positive op had some form of "he'll conclude vaccines are the cause" under the spoiler.

I think they're essentially the same thing. I don't really have a process for what order to work in, just intuition for what will be the least friction. If it were big enough numbers I'd probably go through a second time in a different order of addition to double-check.

It's just weird that I've done a lot of math and never really thought about that process. That's why you'd ideally want any math below precalc to be taught by someone with a math education degree rather than someone who just has a math degree. When you've used the concepts you're teaching with enough regulatity that they're second nature, you have very poor intuition for which concepts will trip up someone learning for the first time.

I don't think I was ever taught this, but that's more or less how I do arithmetic. More precisely, my mental arithmetic would transcribe to:

47 + 36 = 47 + (30 + 6) = (47 + 6) + 30 = 53 + 30 = 83

Subject to change over time

Source for that claim?

Will you all stop bragging and just explain the damn thing?

Correct approach, it's the only way to browse this website. We're all in this together.
