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.

Also, I've discussed the problem with a colleague at uni today, and it turns out that subsequent elements of the series produce fractions made of Fibonacci sequence members. Not only that, but apparently the series converges towards the golden ratio. This all requires proof, but it's still pretty cool imo

Yeah, that's normal - and despite that, you've been able to sleep well before realizing it. As Flandre put it, don't stress yourself over something you can't manage yourself.

Speaking of things worth losing sleep over: I just got a report from the front lines that a bunch of our troops in Bohemia got encircled. Their commander is requesting backup. Man, if those poor lads die, the Other will be as merry as the day is long!
I'll send a division of war clanks to break the encirclement. Hopefully that's enough. Lord have mercy on them ...

Thanks for all the advice guys, I really appreciate it. Right now I have a lot of work to catch up on, so I'm gonna get a head-start.

Me, I've just returned home from helping put together an Ikea bed for mom, and... oh, it's 11 AM already. Looks like I'm not doing my calculus homework today. Oh well
Stupid hard maths question of the day: Prove that the series an =1+1/2+1/3+1/4+...+1/n diverges, i.e. goes towards infinity as you plug in bigger n's.

Calculus is a total headache for me, I don't even like algebra.
Math is a dull subject anyway.
Makes me want to quote that one line from Mad World. *
Did you know you can make songs from a calculator? [1]
OMG that's so cool!
That's a mathematical musical melody!
Now if they could teach us that in math class, that would make it far more interesting!
That's not too surprising to me, many futuristic stuff makes their own tunes with the right setups.
Well it's nice to see the present is catching up on ideas sis!
My sister Blossom is definitely good with high level math, she enjoys trying to teach me that stuff even if I get bored of it easily. Btw, technically today is my (as well as my sister's) birthday.
Ooh! Happy birthday to you Buttercup and give Blossom a big hug when you get the chance!
Doggone it, I see a lot of activity happened while we've been absent on this thread!
Doesn't help it's cold as f-k lately and typing with frozen hands is annoying.

[1] Math is dull, you say? Ever heard of Newton's Fractal?
Edit: and while we're at it, here's a really fascinating introduction to complex numbers, Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set. For the first time, I feel like I'm actually understanding this.

I used to think math was boring until I heard of Prof. Homlomium and his work. His stuff looks like abstract numbers, but when someone explained what those numbers meant, I realized that my dad may or may not have accidentally doomed mankind. Now I think math is terrifying.

Technically we don't need to talk about anything. Someone just brought it up.

Math. Never needed it. I know enough to read sheet music (and barely that, I mostly write my own music) and fire a bow properly, but, really, not much more. The money side of things is Rex Lapis' domain. In Mondstadt, the mathiest people are probably Alice and the Favonius alchemists. I've mentioned them before. Albedo would probably love this place. But also he doesn't know I'm Barbatos. And he's not exactly... familiar with the conventions of social interaction. So maybe I shouldn't invite him...
but honestly who cares about "should"?
How interesting... Hello, everyone.
