  • I realize what this post is saying, but it reminded me of a somewhat similar situation. In my high school we had to learn the stems of words and their meanings (I.E. Acro = high; acr = sharp, etc). Our English teachers would give us a list of 15 stems (25 if you took accelerated/advanced English) at the start of the week and then on Friday they would hand out a quick test for us to conplete.
    The idea was you’d look over the list throughout the week and memorize them that way. But instead I would look at the list 5 minutes before the exam, memorize them, take the test, ace it, then forget about them before the class even ended. Worked every time.

    Hey, now, why is it weird? I consider it respectful as Victor wanted him to be as complete as possible. How could he call his creation complete if it was missing a rather fundamental part of a human? Would you call him complete if he only gave him one arm or one leg? Of course not. So Victor has to look for a penis to give him or else his project is left unfinished.

    I think I may have been reading too much into the word “bad” implying as if the person themself is bad since they still dislike being referred to as weird.

    I think it can also depend on who calls you weird and why/how. I’ve received both the negative, “ew, you’re weird” reactions as well as positive ones. Like a friend calling me a “strange human being” in an endearing way; or another saying I’m 80/20 with my weirdness. With 80% being good weird and the remaining 20% just plain weird. I think being called weird in a positive way can help with embracing it.

    I feel I disagree. Those who get mad at being called weird just haven’t learned to accept and embrace their weirdness yet. It took me a while. And I still sometimes feel the need to hide it. It can take a while to work through.



  • Not OP, but I have dumped my own collection of GameCube and Wii games.
    The easiest way to do it is with a jailbroken Wii since it’s not hard to do. Once jailbroken, the dumping process is about 12 minutes for a GC game and about 20-30 minutes for a Wii game (I forget the exact time). So with that in mind, you can make a rough calculation for how long it will take to dump your collection.
    There are a few unmentioned steps, like converting the games from .iso to .rvz to save on space, but it’s rather easy to get going when you have a guide to follow.

    Just be aware that you’ll be wearing out your outer front tire much faster than the others by doing that. That’s the tire doing most of the work constantly turning your two ton vehicle.
