Gathered a ton of memes from the old forum, most of which earned either Great or Good Reply; Will share them slightly along with memes of my own.
But something I noticed, a huge percent of memes were about @MrOchoa/Codename47. I felt guilty doing it a lot in here thinking he may not like it, but WOW. Some of them were even from him himself.

I imagine I was at least a small contributor to that (he’s just such an easy target :wink:)

My dad got the astrozeneca vaccine yesterday.

So far he’s not got any side effects other than being tired today and feeling a bit ache-y, though no idea if that’s just him or the vaccine.

I’ve heard a lot of the UK doses have had some unfortunate side effects. Hope you all are doing okay.

Ok that explains why I was disconnected every 10 seconds. For once I had time to play it was too good to be true :sob:

Today, the night before the last Wednesday of the year in the Persian calendar is called “Chaharshanbe Suri”, which is a great popular festival in our culture. The year will end in less than a week (Nowrooz Festival).

Chaharshanbe means Wednesday and Suri is referring to goods in general.

In ancient times before the attack of Arabs in the middle ages, Zoroastrianism was the most followed religion, and the holiest symbol of it was fire. So in this day, people would’ve jumped over a small fire to “Drive the evil away and gather goodness in one’s soul”.

There also was a Trick or Treat kind of a thing but as it doesn’t seem inviting for most of the kids these days, it’s largely forgotten.

The fire concept in this night is abused these days. As most of the teenagers (I was sadly one of them for a few years) now make or buy dangerous firework tools or small handmade bombs, and explode those in point of “celebrating” the festival, in spite of the enormous death, body part loss (mostly legs and hands), and injury rate all of them caused by their stuff.
They still look sexy tbh :grimacing:

Anyway, Happy Charshanbesouri to you all!

Those we call “cigarette”.

This small, they are the ones with the least danger and sound due to it consisting of just a small amount of gunpowder. As I said, the least danger so these go for kids 6-11. “Real men” use these literal bombs :stuck_out_tongue: :grimacing: :

I’ve been the same, I’ve just been exhausted. Slept for 6 hours, woke up for 3 hours, then just went to bed for another 9 hours, and been a little sore. But again, hard to tell how much that is because of the vaccine or me just trying to relax now that I’m on holiday this week.

Priority Pass (the aeroport lounge access company) just sent me a survey about traveling. Lots of questions about what would make me feel more or less comfortable booking flights and, if I do book, what would make me feel more or less comfortable at a lounge.

The thing that stuck out most to me was that one of the options was testing both before getting on a plane AND then as soon as you arrive. :man_facepalming:. I’m all for places requiring a person has a vaccine to travel and/or mandatory testing on the front end of the flight, but I don’t want to have to test on both ends of the flight. Some people get on 2 flights in a single day and I don’t mean crew members (who don’t count: they aren’t real people) KIDDING about crew members, we are real people even if we’re strange :joy:

I’d be fine with people having to show negative test results going to and from destinations but on either end of the flight seems a bit redundant. It takes days to incubate, not hours (thankfully)

So the Gta sa x hitman animated vid I was making is having a few issues :frowning: the anim itself is going nicely, it’s just the voice acting. I’m trying to voice both Grey and 47 and listening to the audio gives me that super cringe feeling you get when you listen to your own voice, and I also hope I don’t end up sounding racist while trying to do Lucas’s accent

That ‘cringe when you listen to your own voice’ thing has honestly been bothering me my whole life at this point tbh. I just can’t get over it and I can’t get myself to watch anything I’ve made which has my voice in it. It’s pretty terrible and I thought I was over this period of under confidence now, but it doesn’t seem like it :sob:

You can simply add subtitles with no dialogue and if you ever get someone to voice a few bits of dialogue in the future, you can release a remastered version of the video :thinking: :stuck_out_tongue:

I can do that, those are some good ideas :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: it’s just that deep down I know it’s nothing and my voice is fine, as my mom and dad have constantly told me and I really want to overcome that fear and anxiety about it. It has been recorded and I’ve decided to power through with it cos that’s what a therapist told me lol that more exposure to something unpleasant eases going through it in the long run :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :+1:

Then there’s the thing that it might end up too cringe or unfunny, like my last anim somewhat did :sweat_smile: I mean anims take like a week or so and it hurts so bad when the end result is bad. Then again it’s part of the learning process I guess :grinning:

Did you miss these issues or did they came up by the nature of the pre-recording?

I guess not playing live is not very satisfying. :frowning:
