Seriously, how did children/toddlers react when Steve said this in "Mailbox's Birthday"?

I would fucking scream at the top of my lungs like a viking or something where I saw the clue and then be happy as hell when he did find it.

 

I wanna play minecraft later... but I only have ps3 version... and no one I know plays ps3 anymore... and I can't play keyboard controls so that's why I don't have pc minecraft.

You know, if you can't see the image, you could just click on it to get a better view.

 

I saw the image and read it. The caption I put in the quote is there because I didn't want the whole image to show up on my post as well. I wanted to just quote it, so that is why I did that. So I am not quite sure what you are trying to say anyway.

I plug in the Gamestop generic PS3 controller into my computer and it works just fine, I use it to play my PS2 games on the emulator.

My point exactly. There are TONS of controllers made to work on PC and they aren't exactly hard to come by.

 

I use Xbox 360 controllers myself. I had a good couple of Gamestop brand ones as well, but I got tired of getting a new one everytime it broke, so I just got me a wireless receiver instead and use my actual controllers since i have more of them atm anyhow.

I play mostly the Pocket Edition.

I haven't even touched the PC or console versions in months.

Meh.

I just really like what they've done with the Pocket Edition.

YOU WHAT?!! Guys, you're missing out on an entire world of fun!!

 

 

 

Unless you can't get a really beast computer for yourselves, in which case, I can understand your positions.

 

Jeez, the games I mod or the games I play modded require so much system resources, but then, even general use requires a lot of resources. (I've been known to run out of memory by leaving open 4000×4000 pixel images.)

Also, what's wrong with keyboard controls, anyway? Just remap E to F, S to R, D to S-- waitaminute, that's Qwerty to Colemak, never mind.

 

Unless you're like Etho and have a deteriorating or non-ergonomic keyboard, or maybe keyboarding is uncomfortable to you in general.

Dude, I loved Blue's Clues. If there's two things I remember, it's the planets and the colours of paint.

Heh heh. xD You have that weird keyboard right? xD I forget why you remap your keys, why was that again? And have them in a different position.

Pretty much.

 

Only difference is when I was a kid I wouldn't get angry at him not seeing it right in his face, I'd just keep trying to get him to listen.

again, does nobody remember back in the dizzay when I posted pics of my surgery scars on my bad arm and how damn skinny it was? I'm lucky to have enough movement in my fingers on my fight arm to use a controler properly.

I don't remember much past a week IF I'm lucky, mate.

Whenever you posted this would have been at the most up to a goddamn year ago. That stuff is long gone until brought up again.

 

And even then, I still only partially remember that.

Didn't you have a half-busted arm, though?

Yeah, it's a qwfpgjluyarstdhneiozxcvbkm keyboard. This is why I hate public computers so much; they either have 1GB ram or no way to get the qwfpgjluyarstdhnieozxcvbkm layout; more often, it's the 1GB ram problem; I shudder at the thought of it...

That sounds like a crazy keyboard layout! Why did you choose that in the first place? I mean I use the regular type, QWERTYUIOP kind. I am not quite sure why you did that anyway.

Because all of the heavily-used letters are where they should be: literally at your fingertips. I would've gone with pyfgcrlaoeuidhtnsqjkxbmwvz (pronounce piv-gik-rull-ah-wew-wee-dhents-kij-kix-bim-wivz), but it would've put too much strain on my right hand. I even made a presentation about the qwfpgjluyarstdhneiozxcvbkm (pronounced kif-pij-loo-wee-ars-tid-nee-yoh-ziks-kiv-bek-um) keyboard, stating it was the best of both worlds: you have all of the heavily-used letters at your fingertips, your fingers don't have to fing all that much, and you have zxcv in the exact same place as qwertyuiopasdfghlklzxcvbnm (kwr-tee-you-eye-opp-az-daf-gah-jek-ll-ziks-kiv-bin-num) keyboard.

 

 

 

yes, yes I do...

I knew there was something off that I could just barely remember...

I will not stop watching science! Science is awesome!

YOu know what's more awesome than science? Curiosity for knowledge.

 

That and Latin, the baneboon of the English language. Apparently, the term "language" came from the Latin word for "tongue", and if you stripped all of the Latin and Greek out of English, Anglish (as it'd be called) would have to start calling the word "language" "tongue" instead.

 

That's how related English is to Latin, despite how far Germanic and Romance languages are.

Hmm I see, no problem with that. xD I guess it makes it faster for you to type or something? I mean on a regular keyboard I know that I can type, but I could not change keyboard types and be able to type as fast as I do now, because I know where all the keys are and I don't even have to look at the keys to know where they are, I am sure you are like that with your weird keyboard layout and the QWERTY keyboard that we all use would be weird for you and slow down your typing by a huge amount. xD

 

But anyway, I think I need a Pokemon game, I have not played one for a long time, but I don't have any money. D: I wonder what ones I should get, the new ones? X or Y? Cinny dunnoes. But yeah, I kind of want it though. xD

I have curiosity for knowledge, I always ask questions for everything! I mean I like to know things, how things work and stuff like that. It's an awesome thing to know. Though I don't care for Latin, though it would make it easier to find out the etymology for English words. xD

It took me about six months to get accustomed to Colemak, and now it's so engrained that I can barely type in Qwerty again. Also, throughout my time typing on a Qwerty, I've had my hands tire out a few times before, like, on the verge of carpal tunnel. On a Colemak, I've never had that problem again.

 

Also, you know how you can type "typewriter" using the first row of letters (QWERTYUIOP) on the Qwerty? That's nothing; you can type whole, coherent sentences using just ARSTDHNEIO alone, the home row on a Colemak.

If you're like me and can see the connection between Latin and English or are studying but not necessarily learning a second language, or just like to look at different languages in general, you get to pick up on a lot of similarities.

 

For example, English, Dutch, German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic are all brother languages, but Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian are all sister languages, with Latin being the mother of all of them, plus 30 other languages. English is only a stepchild language of Latin, but you know what's also a stepchild language? Spanish, a stepchild language of Arabic.

 

Also, a lot of the big and fancy words in English tend to be French or Latin, like language or community, whereas the small boring words in English tend to be Germanic, like I, eat, or hand. There are exceptions to that, though; knowledge and therefore are big words, but they're Germanic in origin, and colour/color and stop, even the word use, came from Latin.

 

Then you have words that were constructed out of necessity that are combinations of two languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word

 

Oversimplification time:

 

 

As of figuring out the etymology? I just type in "word origin <word>" into Google.

no one remembers

 

I can.

<insert long post here with lots of things, second half, about languages>

 

All languages are based off another, mainly.

I do like to know things reguardless. xD I am a curious pony, and I can annoy others with all my cinny questions. xD

They almost did, which is why we have the Dvorak keyboard.

 

Fun fact: I asked the question "Qwerty or Dvorak?" once and someone replied "Qwerty for keyboard, Dvorak for musician."

 

Fun fact #2: Dr. Dvorak, the keyboard guy, and Dvorak, the musician, are distant relatives.

I do like to know things reguardless. xD I am a curious pony, and I can annoy others with all my cinny questions. xD

 

Thing is, there's more to languages just taking bits of one another to morph themselves.

 

One, they ultimately would've came from a common ancestor; for example, English, Latin, Greek, and Hindi, plus hundreds of other languages, came from one single language: Proto-Indo-European, and combined, speaker of Indo-European languages make up nearly half of the population of the entire planet, and by land area, they cover more land than probably the Roman, British, Spanish, and French Empires combined. (Can someone do the math for that?)

 

Also, imagine how nuts it'd be if we could somehow re-merge all of those languages back to PIE, so that nearly half the world would really be speaking the same language.

 

Second, did you know there are languages authorities for Italian, Spanish, and French, but not English? Those authorities are in charge of maintaining their respective languages, but English has no such authority. French doesn't even want English words in the French language, which is how I can understand this Futurama joke:
