Third time's a charm.

Finally see what people meant by the lag with some people's page. Your picture takes a second to load, elpokitolama. Amazing picture though.

Thank you Scorprix! But I haven't work a tenth as Femme... x')
(I'm still not sure if this sentence was grammaticaly correct @-@)

Eheh, It's an incredibly big picture. Even if I lowered its size with Paint, it's still enormous x)
My friends, I just noticed I was using both Paint and IE on my W8 laptop. Please, throw a bunch of stones at my face.
April 30, 2015 5:41 p.m.
I don't like either of your pages but yours has less lag.
April 30, 2015 5:44 p.m.
Both have insane load times though (for me - using chrome).

Almost instant charging on IE on a Windows Phone. Seriously, wtf is happening in this world.
April 30, 2015 5:57 p.m.
Scorprix and chief, to clarify, is my page giving you lag as well?

Seriously, there are war crimes almost everyday, the economic crisis, an enourmous earthquake in Nepal, stupid extremist ideas rising everywhere and now Internet Explorer is faster than Google Chrome? Seriously men, this is fucked up.

The one constant throughout human history is that things get better. It's like a universal rule. There has never once been a period of transition where thigns got worse so far.

Also xzzane: your page doesn't lag for me, but the background image have hard times to follow the rest of the page... x)

I've just stopped looking at profiles that are fancied up. Femme's on my iPad fucks some real shit up and everybody else's is super laggy or hard to read so I just avoid them lol
April 30, 2015 6:24 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #17
Same, it has actually made me stop looking at profiles as much. I just sort of float in the forums.

Holy cow, just noticed cards have a value on them when they pop up from hover. Sweet. Am I slowpoke today?

Just did a reading for school on Mormanism. People can be so cruel it's disgusting. The founder got murdred by a massive all-Christian mob.

Was it hard not thinking of The Mimeoplasm while reading it?

I've had some interesting conversations with Mormons...
April 30, 2015 6:58 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #22
I have been wanting to learn a bit about Mormons. JWs too. Religious stuff is interesting to me.
April 30, 2015 6:58 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #23
There's a ton of material out there. Where you start is typically influenced by where you want to end up.
April 30, 2015 6:59 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #24
I am pretty open minded on the subject. I just like to see what makes people tick. I have known quite a few Mormons, and had small conversations with some. Nothing too in depth.

elpokitolama, my tutorial will have an in-depth explanation as to how to decrease file sizes without lowering quality all too much.
April 30, 2015 7:03 p.m.
Yo Epoch, you wanna take some pictures of that Karakas? :D
April 30, 2015 7:04 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #27
I STILL don't know why my profile fucks over tibbles though. I mean, I have the minimum screen width one can view the profile stuff through at 1000 pixels. My only guess is that it is the custom cards, as pngs with transparencies fuck over lower quality technologies.
I'm using chrome and no one has insane loading times ... and I have a 7 year old IBM thinkpad.

Didgeridooda says... #28
Simple option to only see all profiles in the basic state for users would fix it.
April 30, 2015 7:09 p.m.
I'm honestly not Mormon, but it was an interesting read. Very eye-opening about how people are attacked for things that have virtually no negative impact. Very relatable to the fighting in the middle-east.
April 30, 2015 7:11 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #30
Uh. I'll stop you at the "no negative impact" bit.

@Scorprix child, please listen to the safety rail.
April 30, 2015 7:19 p.m.
I sense a getting serious talk that I'd like to partake in.

VampireArmy says... #34
I'm nice to religious people up until they push. At that point i make it a point to offend them
"Sorry i worship Satan actually" is often enough

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #35
I've met so many people while playing magic and thoughout life, and here's what I've found:
Anyone who's religeous (more specifically, christian) is almost always either an asshole.
anyone from a NON christian religeon tends to be nice or normal.
Satinists and other people of the sort are some of the nicest people I've ever met, ironically.

Epochalyptik says... #37
I'm open to discussing it with anyone over email. Maybe in the serious thread or on a private deck. But I don't feel like breaking it all down here.
April 30, 2015 7:38 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #39
Stick it in the serious thread. I'd like to read it.
April 30, 2015 7:39 p.m.
Try telling people you are your own god. It won't get them to go away, but the responses are so funny.
April 30, 2015 7:40 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #42
And make it something I can respond to, please. I don't much like starting serious debates in the middle of nowhere.
April 30, 2015 7:41 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #43
If it is a quality discussion please call me over where ever it is. I have to go, but will be back later.

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #44
@Tibs technically, worshiping satan IS a religeon.
also, I wasn't generalizing. This is from my personal experience with people I know.
actually, I guess I was generalizing (?)
April 30, 2015 7:42 p.m.
That is a massive generalisation. You are judging millions of people based on like what.... 10? That you happen to know. That's like the worst of all generalisations.
Satanism, particularly LaVeyan Satanism is really misunderstood. I hate how people make jokes about it when it is a legitimate belief system.

VampireArmy says... #46
Hopefully no one takes offense. i was not mocking anyone's beliefs. Only those who shove it at people.

WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAA Holy crap Epoch, you could probably buy a car with those...
elpokitolama says... #1
Another funny thing: the only user page that kills IE is Femme Fatale's one, and it is actually the only one that does not have any problems on Mozzila... Now the question is: why did you hack me Femme? What did I do to you? D':
