Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Good to hear you’re doing fine. I suppose it’s near-impossible to avoid war in the multiverse, but what are you gonna do.
By the way, I’ve planned to implement some sort of system that can write text and math expressions, similar to LATEX based on my set abilities. I’ll probably be stealing the font from some sort of public library, but getting the characters and symbols right, and then making sure the spacing and formatting works, will probably be a major pain in the behind for me. Does anyone want to watch over me and make sure I get that stuff done?
You could ask someone from EV to keep asking for progress updates, if that’s what you need. -Arthur
That's... fair. Still, anyone else here want progress updates?

As long as everything goes well, it'll be fine!
SHINY!... Oh, hello. I'm Mari Ohara. I'll be watching the thread because, I can and will choose to do so. But I can be occupied at other things... Hanamaru, can you explain more in the meantime?
Okay... so the Ohara family is like very, VERY wealthy (they even own a hotel), so Mari has like one of the most advanced computers and has the best internet connection out of us (It takes me a while for my posts to load up, zura), and her father is an Italian-American and her mother is Japanese. She's also very fluent in English, and even puts it in our otherwise unrecorded Japanese conversations, zura.

wadies and Gentwemen, Im back.
what did i miss?
Hoshi no himei. i call upon thee...
I'm asking the same thing here, all I can tell some people are excited

Quite a lot truth to be told, a rather not so graceful type of life was shared with the people on the thread yesterday. [1

I still feel bad for all those who had to deal with it. [2] Sure, I wouldn't mind hearing about those progress updates.

Yes, after that tale about the little girl who killed her parents, I wouldn’t mind hearing about whatever you are doing. Although I probably know already.

x3 You think so, huh.
My end goal will be some sort of function
print(string)that will take in a tupel of letters and maybe formatting symbols, and return what's essentially a hologram of the string written down in reality.
To start off, I'll need a font - to be precise, the Bezier curves that form each individual letter and symbol. Once that's done, the print() function will go through the input string from left to right, consider each individual element, create the corresponding letter, and then move the right distance rightward. print() will probably be defined recursively.
This print() function could then form the basis for some much cooler spells - maybe I could get print() to write in the format of multiple pages, on an A4 scale, or create a keyboard that builds a string that automatically gets print()ed, or if I'm badass enough, make a literal printer that takes in physical cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink, and distributes the colours on a sheet of paper.
And on top of that, if I can implement some sort of saving procedure, I'll be able to write my bachelor's thesis with the power of sheer magic and willpower. And boy, am I looking forward to that.

good mornafternoon everyone!
how are your days going so far?
that sounds awesome! if it’s ok with you, i’d love to see it when it’s done! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
I'm doing well. Thinking of going into chess
Extreme math nerd
Will do! As of now, I've set my sights on the Latin Modern font family, I'll see what I can get out of it.
Tama May Cry 1: Toony Angelos
[1] Good afternoon! We're doing fine, it's been mostly a relaxing day. As stated before, we're taking it easy for the eventful weekend!
We should practice some songs later! How are you doing today? [2] Mind if I asked, you're referring to the game chess or something else?
I'm legitimately asking, what else could I be referring to but the Guptan tabletop game of chess
Tama May Cry 1: Toony Angelos
I think the phrase "going into" instead of "getting into" is what got her thinking otherwise plus there are other definitions of chess.
Oui chérie such as a weedy annual European bromegrass widely naturalized in North America as a weed especially in grain material.
Coolio thanks. Either way I'm planning on relearning chess rules and trying to get good at it, maybe try variants of it too
The Lady of House Solari
My day is droll. We’re moving out to conquer some disputed territory up north in the Freljord. I hate those godforsaken wastes. But, they’re strategic, and so we march.
I belong to neither Heaven nor Hell. I am a woman self-possessed.
what makes them strategic? Find some natural resources there? Get a good position on outmaneuvering the enemy?
The Lady of House Solari
It is to ensure the survival of Noxus throughout the years. Speaking of which, what country do you represent?

Hmm. Never heard of it.

look it up, maybe take a vacation there, it's nice, don't think about the implications of me suggesting that too much
Tama May Cry 1: Toony Angelos
Well there could be a possibility it might not be present or in the same state on his world though.
That's right or he could probably not have a time for a vacation since there's a lot going there. aroo.
Let's let him answer that though just to see what's correct on the subject (whenever he gets the time).
