  • I realize what this post is saying, but it reminded me of a somewhat similar situation. In my high school we had to learn the stems of words and their meanings (I.E. Acro = high; acr = sharp, etc). Our English teachers would give us a list of 15 stems (25 if you took accelerated/advanced English) at the start of the week and then on Friday they would hand out a quick test for us to conplete.
    The idea was you’d look over the list throughout the week and memorize them that way. But instead I would look at the list 5 minutes before the exam, memorize them, take the test, ace it, then forget about them before the class even ended. Worked every time.




  • Hey, now, why is it weird? I consider it respectful as Victor wanted him to be as complete as possible. How could he call his creation complete if it was missing a rather fundamental part of a human? Would you call him complete if he only gave him one arm or one leg? Of course not. So Victor has to look for a penis to give him or else his project is left unfinished.

    I think I may have been reading too much into the word “bad” implying as if the person themself is bad since they still dislike being referred to as weird.

    I think it can also depend on who calls you weird and why/how. I’ve received both the negative, “ew, you’re weird” reactions as well as positive ones. Like a friend calling me a “strange human being” in an endearing way; or another saying I’m 80/20 with my weirdness. With 80% being good weird and the remaining 20% just plain weird. I think being called weird in a positive way can help with embracing it.




  • Not OP, but I have dumped my own collection of GameCube and Wii games.
    The easiest way to do it is with a jailbroken Wii since it’s not hard to do. Once jailbroken, the dumping process is about 12 minutes for a GC game and about 20-30 minutes for a Wii game (I forget the exact time). So with that in mind, you can make a rough calculation for how long it will take to dump your collection.
    There are a few unmentioned steps, like converting the games from .iso to .rvz to save on space, but it’s rather easy to get going when you have a guide to follow.
