  1. *ducks in fear* WHERE? WHERE? don't do this to me
  2. Not familiar with that one, it looks pretty interesting. Not too different from GIMP though so it looks easy to pick up. I recommend that you try them, they're both extremely powerful tools
  3. The Wikipedia app. I swear I've learnt so much more by thinking "Oh I wonder how X works?" "What does X mean?" If there's something I realise I don't know, I just grab my phone and find out. I'll go to quickly check something, usually something biological like a disease or a sometimes an organisation, and I'll be there for hours, clicking through links to learn more and more. Wikipedia is the best. I know anyone can edit it and pollute it with misinformation, but it's so well managed these days that it's just not as unreliable as it's made out. Anyway, I use it all the time and I'd be lost without it. Computer-wise, I can't seem to be without Grammarly. It's a little grammar and spelling checker that sits in the background, sifting through everything you type everywhere, making little tweaks and ensuring you're using the correct terms. It's incredibly useful in school and in places like forums as I don't even have to intervene most of the time, whenever I finish a sentence, the sentence fixes itself if there are any issues. A close second would be Kodi. As someone who regularly sifts through my YT sub box, listens to music for hours, and binge-watches anime, having everything accessible from one, clean and optimised interface is ideal. I have a little 2GB sd card that I just stick into my laptop (or anyone else's laptop) and I have an entire media centre with everything I need, all elegantly laid out. So much handier than using lots of different programs that all form a crude system with far too much going on in the background. And because I use an old laptop, it needs to use all of its strength without background distractions to deliver smooth even just 720p video
  4. *grinning* This is gonna be a lot of fun ;)
  5. That's one nice signature image you got there. Who are they? I'm not familiar with them :3

    Pets

    Yay I can show off my many animal slaves friends First! This is Ella. She's a cross between a corgi and a jack russell. We've had her for six years. She da cutest. Good dog. Next! These little buggers are Poppy (grey) and Willow! (not grey) Poppy is grumpy, always asking very loudly for food She's still cute though and very loyal... provided she gets her food. Willow is proably the most adorable cat in the world, and she's super nice and cuddly. Don't be fooled though, Willow is a master of Cat-Fu :0 One of her favourite hobbies is beheading wildlife for fun. Be on your guard.

    Current Hobbies

    I have a really bizarre range, there's not a lot I don't do really Except maybe rape. That's not a good hobby to have. I'm an amateur photographer! (I say that but I have intermittent paid work at a golf club and with a lawyer.) I'm a keen cyclist! I've been riding since I was very small and I've gone from a couple miles with my dad to training for a 300 mile challenge in a couple of months. There's nothing more exciting for me than conquering mountains or setting a new distance record I'm a lover of anime! I think it goes without saying round here, but yeah... that japan stuff xP I'm a HUGE ! I've built all sorts over the years, including a simply awesome trailer for my mountain bike. Part of a challenge I had with a good friend to see who could build the best trailer. Mine won *scoffs* ...obviously
  8. I think they're pretty cute :3 I don't see how I'd use them though, it just doesn't seem practical. I'm moving around quite a lot of the time, and if I'm not, I'm too busy to be looking at my phone... on a table... in a stand. They are extremely cute, but I don't see their usefulness. Of course, if they're useful for anyone else, do let me know ^^ I'd be interested to hear
  9. Working intermittently at a golf club running errands, maintaining golf carts, and working in the shop It can be fun, especially when it isn't actually boring in summer. Plus you can take the occasional joyride in a golf cart It's stressful too though as I seem to more work than anyone else there often :'( Everyone sits on their ass while I'm running around in summer *questioning life choices* Very nice place to work though. Nice to walk around from time to time ^^
  10. Oh all the time. Flying Witch motivated me to start cooking initially, as the food I was being given was not very good for me and I wanted to start to make food for myself. Death Note and ERASED both reminded me that you should always stay alert and pay extra attention to what is going on around you. KonoSuba particularly inspired me to keep away from frogs. So yes, absolutely.

    Favorite Food

    My favourite food is definitely risotto. It's simple but extremely versatile so you chuck whatever you want in it, be it bacon, sausage, just more cheese because cheese is the best It requires quite a bit of patience to make perfectly but my mum mastered that a long time ago and hers is always the best.
  12. I'm a believer in free stuff open source software so I use these: GIMP - An excellent alternative to Photoshop that, for me, proves to be far less confusing to use and I have enough experience in it that I can find a way to render whatever I need to Inkscape - A really good vector program that I use at work frequently for purposes such as logo design, font processing and 3D printing I tend to just swap between the two, I don't really see any need to use anything else
  13. The sun is rising... I did not plan for this O_O

      Good call xP Now try doing all that in a sweaty school where nobody gives a damn about the students so they open zero windows and don't contribute any fans -__- I've had a marvelous week.

  14. Huh. I wondered if there was one of these threads ^w^ Sure, I'll join
  15. Mmm! I'm down for that! I used to love spam and I'm big on rice and sushi. 10/10 for presentation too Sweet and salty scrambled eggs! Really quite bizarre, but absolutely delicious! First had them a couple years ago with my gran and they're one of my favourite breakfasts now
  16. I'll happily use wireless 95% of the time, I use a laptop and the last thing I want is bulky ethernet cable floating around. My laptop is pretty old so the speed in which it can process any information it recieves is pretty low anyway so I don't believe it makes a difference, especially browsing. The other 5% though, is if I want to transfer files around my house server or something else that can be sped up a lot by an increase in transfer speed. My router is across the hall however, so I use these Devolo Powerline adapters to send the ethernet signal from my router to where ever I need a connection. They are miles speedier than WiFi and I notice zero difference between true wired ethernet and using these. Really practical for when I need the extra speed boost.

    Hi!

    Hey Seir! Welcome to Anime Forums! Nice list, there's a lot on there that are my favourites too ^^ You've stumbled upon a pretty great place, you should really enjoy it here Any questions, or if you need any help, give us a shout! Have fun, and I hope to see you around
  18. I live in Yorkshire, England and I'm from Yorkshire, England It's a pretty great place to live, if you forget about Britain's well known weather 'issues' A mile north is a bustling city, 5 miles south west and suddenly you're in the middle of nowhere. You can see that in the picture also And how does anyone find their way back? Well then... that's why we have the mast Everywhere I could ever have a reason to be, I can always see the mast. It's so tall it's perfect for finding your way back if your GPS dies, since you can always figure out which side of the mast you should be on. Anyway, that's where I'm lurking Nice place, nice people.
  19. Ah I see what you're saying now It's just a little funny phrase that is apparently more British-only than I had invisioned It's like a joke, because string has no predefined length, so there is no answer to the question
  20. Mmmmm ravioli *drools* You are completely joking right? They don't have string in America?!
  21. Absolutely way more than I think I ever have at once o_O More series at the very least. I'm watching: Alice and Zouroku Charlotte Eromanga-sensei Kyokai no Kanata Lucky Star Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records Shingeki no Kyojin So much variety like I'm surprised I can keep up

  23. Unbelievable. That stuff was golden growing up If you could hug any animal, which animal? :3 How long is a piece of string? What was the first anime you ever watched and why on earth did you watch it? How do you take your tea/coffee? Provided you drink any
