  1. From what I've read, you'll want to save your crystals for 2x SSR events too. Right now I've done enough questing to purchase a 10x roll with crystals, but I'm waiting for the right time to use it. Speaking of which, are draw tickets affected by the rate boost? I can't remember if the last one I got was limited time, but I never stopped to think about whether I should save it or not. Edit: Ooh, just discovered a way to get special gifts from towns. I'll post the thread here for anyone that might not have caught on yet. http://gbf-english.proboards.com/thread/220/special-gifts-town Now to wait for the maintenance to end so I can test it out.
  2. Granted, but time is only an illusion, so you now have more illusions. I wish I had free PC upgrades for life.
  3. Woo, got her from a draw ticket today. :3 So yeah, I know I kinda just started playing, but I'll be slowing down a little since college will be taking up a bit of my time now. I still plan on going at it more on the weekends though. Btw, my IGN is Ahlor, so if you happen to get an FR from me, that'll be the name that comes up. I would've gone with Kenshin, but that was above the character limit (which I'm guessing is designed for Japanese names). I'll probably change it to Ken once my waiting time is up.
  4. Believe it or not, that hasn't worked at all for me in the past, although this time it might. Now that the introduction phase is over, I have all of my online utilities set up, and I'm actually doing work now, I'm beginning to feel a lot better about taking classes. Part of my anxiety was not knowing how classes were structured, and I was in a pretty heightened state of alertness to make sure I wasn't messing anything up. Today was much much much more comfortable for me, and I didn't come out of it a nervous wreck. That being said, I forgot to drink my tea this morning, so my concentration was not that great today, lol. It only really hurt me for note-taking in my composition class, so hopefully I can find the information I need online to fix that. If not, I'll try emailing my professor. I didn't want to hold up the rest of the class just because my brain shut off for a moment.
  5. That's a pretty good idea, and I actually found an alarm app that would fit perfectly for what I need it for. Sadly, that'll have to wait until I can afford a better phone that can hold more than a handful of mp3s, or an alarm with similar features. I won't be content unless I have a certain number different songs to play. Yeah, I know, I'm too much of a perfectionist for my own good. Oh, I see. Yeah, it's not always easy being an introvert. That's a pretty damn accurate image collection.
  6. Figuring out how to start a paper is pretty damn hard for me too. Out of all the classes I'm taking right now, my composition class pretty much my main source of anxiety. The other one is the online class I'm taking for introduction to computers; which isn't really due to the coursework, but just the fact that it's online. Due to life circumstances, I didn't really have much choice in taking it. I know I'd want to get use to it eventually, but I didn't want it on my 1st term.
  7. Alright, my 1st day at college wasn't too too horrible. Nothing went wrong at all, but I'm having a lot of difficulty mentally adjusting to it. Thankfully most of my work is doable at home though, so it's not all that bad. One thing that's bothering me though is that I'm still in the habit of dramatizing my situation. This morning I had difficulty getting out of bed because I was overcome by an irrational fear of how things would turn out for me, and I'm losing my appetite again too. I eventually forced myself out of bed and went outside for fresh air, and I immediately felt better and was able to start getting my thoughts in order. I think as long as I'm able to recover like this, I should be fine for keeping up with my assignments. Still, I don't know why this happens; it seems to trigger every time I leave my comfort zone. I've been having this issue ever since I joined the military, and it persisted with the job I use to have. Well, hopefully I can start improving my lifestyle once I have a little more cash in my pocket. At least with that I'll be able to improve my diet and get a better bed.
  8. Moe overkill. http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=3771601
  9. Eh, I'm doing just fine with Rs and and a couple SRs. The drop rate for SSRs is pretty insanely low, yes, but there isn't that much of a need for them. I've yet to run into anything that drastically called for me to spend money, so I wouldn't exactly say Granblue's all that bad with its marketing. It's nothing like the vast majority of FB games I've played where I can't enjoy the f2p experience for longer than a day or two.
  10. The one question I was asking myself all night was "when's a good point to stop playing." I finally got to roughly rank 18 I think and was finally able to run out of AP. That's when I stopped, lol. And now I'm waking up in the afternoon. RIP sleep schedule.
  11. Ah, I suppose that's how it is then. So much for getting all my notifications off eventually. Well, maybe I'll put in a request for it once they open up their support channel for English speakers. Thanks for the add. Man, I went completely overboard staying up late at night playing this game. I need to go to bed.
  12. Thanks for the bump, I'm actually really liking this game. My ID is 12529444 is anyone wants to add me. The biggest selling point of this game for me is that its playable on PC without an emulator; that's really awesome for these guys to go that extra jump to make this game to reach out to other audiences like that. I think the f2p model is pretty solid for this kind of game. You're not punished for not paying, but you get a pretty fair amount of return on investment when you play it smart and take advantage of special deals. Very similar to Crusader Quest in that regard. The story is kind of standard, but it's very rare for me to dislike a fantasy game so I don't mind it that much. Bonus points for being mostly voiced too! I've honestly never come across a mobile game with voiced dialogue before, so that's a pleasant first for me. There are quite a few high-profile seiyuu for this game too (list 1; list 2; list 3) (Sugita's not on any of these lists, but he voices a character in the main quest). The gameplay is pretty smooth and enjoyable too. I'm very impressed with the amount of effort put into this. Overall, I'd say Granblue is pretty solid. Nothing special, but it's good for a mobile game. I'll probably be playing it for a while. Edit: Hey, guys, before I get into wasting any more time on this, is it possible for me to register a Mobage account? I really don't know how to do it, or if it's even possible for me. I'd like to get the free 1000 crystals if I can though.
  13. Just watched Skelter Heaven. Oh man, I was quite taken aback with this show's amazing perspective on mankind. Diving into the depths of what drives human beings to commit the many atrocious acts you see from them on a regular basis, it really does give you quite a bit to think about. All the while showcasing what was easily the most heart-wrenching romance story I've ever witnessed. The writers truly know what it is to fall in love, and what it means to stay determined on the battleground for the sake of your loved ones. It really doesn't get much better than this (especially for a 19-minute OVA). /lol
  14. Oh, okay. I'm not entirely surprised to hear about that, although I'm not entirely familiar with economies outside my country. Not even really sure if there are any countries where college students would be better off with a masters, but I'm really not interested enough to know right now. According to an article I read on Forbes, I'd really only be making an extra 10k at the start, and I haven't heard of any companies that are prioritizing graduates with that kind of education. I'm not entirely concerned about my tuition costs right now. I'll be getting roughly $1900 per month from the GI Bill for 3 years and $2800 this year from a Pell Grant (not sure what I'll be getting after this), which I mostly plan on setting to the side for future tuition costs ($1000 a month from my GI Bill, and another $1200 from the grant). If I'm able to land a job pays somewhere close to the median income for computer programmers (which is $77,000 per year), then I should be able to cover all the costs I need to get my masters within a year or two, but I'd throw in a third year just in case. So it's not so much a concern as to how I'll be able to pay for a masters, but whether or not it'll be worth it. In my situation, it very likely would be, but I really honestly don't know. I'd rather put in a few years of actual work with an AS so that I can get a better feel for what's more desirable. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have some work experience to go along with that higher education.

  16. With the way the economy in the US is going right now, I'm not so sure it's worth it to get a masters.
  17. Confession: I'm pretty damn happy with the Windows 10 anniversary update. For the first time ever, I can now fulfill my dream of writing short stories with file names. http://www.howtogeek.com/266621/how-to-make-windows-10-accept-file-paths-over-260-characters/
  18. Good try, Hillary, but I don't think this is gonna help you with the youth vote. I did get a pretty good laugh out of this at least!
