I spend all my spare time on pc's - is that bad?

Absolutely not, it is quite good, considering you aren't out there getting into trouble, though you can get in trouble using your pc :shifty:

Personally, I spend most of my day on the PC now that it's summer time. Even if it isn't summer time, I still do :p

Goddamn yes I am a computer geek, what else would you call someone who sports dual moniters, computer certifications, has dabbled in a few programming languages, has made his own Visual Style, Has sold MMORPG items for $$ on Ebay (Diablo 2 1.10 items when the patch was just released, hahah), has had to use Recovery Console to repair his boot partition because he was replacing system files.....yeah, I'm a ****ing computer geek.

But...

I love the outdoors. If I had my way, we'd live like Native americans, no joke. that's how I think is the right way to live.

I skateboard nearly everyday. Usually with large groups of friends, like 8 or so. Sometimes we'll skate all day, there have been days where I've been out skating for over 12 hours at once. I love skateboarding and I'm really starting to progress....360 flips comin around, I can nose manual forever, got heelflips back, can do 180 boneless fingervarials like nothing now.....I love it.

Also into weightlifting. I go to the gym usually once or twice a week....gonna start going more often though. I can lift more than most anyone on the football team though, I'm incredibly strong just naturally, so I started out at pretty high weights when I began doing some lifting. I'm pretty built now, defined chest, 6-pack, big arms etc.

If you saw me, you wouldn't ever think I'm someone that knows what a megabyte is. I tend to be categorized as the skateboarding stoner type that will get no where in life, when in reality I'll be making more out of highschool than a lot of my classmates will out of college.

I really do enjoy computers and I plan on having a career related to them, but physical activity and being outdoors is so much more vital to me than any rounds of CS or Unreal Tournament will ever be. I love physical activity, I'm incredibly atheltic...I've played and exceeded in Karate (2nd degree blackbelt, studied in Kempo, Kwamukan and a few other styles), Basketball (Consistantly making all-star teams and the like), Baseball (Wasn't all that great, hit hard but missed a lot, fielded well, bu tonly played 3 years), football (Only played a few years, kicked some serious ass though as Linebacker, playing kids half my size).

My general day, assuming I have no school or no work, will be sleep in till say, 1 pm, wake up, eat and shower and ****, **** around on the computer for 30 minutes to an hour, go skate, come home around 7, shower, hang out with friends (Sometimes doing geeky **** like 4 playe rHalo and having CS lan parties, other times parties, going to get togethers and ****)), then come home, smoke some magical plant, chill to some cool music, eat, talk to my << racial epithet >>z online then play somes toner CS with my friend, 1 v 1.

Well, sorry about this post getting to be long and ****, and sorry if I sounded full of myself or anything, I'm really not like that, I just acknowledge certain qualities about myself and I'm not ashamed to discuss them.

I've been looking trough my WINDOWS ( HAHAHA GET IT?!?! ) and i saw something my mom calls "Outside"

and i saw this bright shining object in the sky! i think it was a UFO but my mom called it "The sun" :omg:

Amazing! you all should check it out, now i'll go see what this "School" hype is all about!

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
