I really want to buy this. But money.

... Can anyone find a bigger Totoro? I guess I could find someone on Etsy to make one, if nothing else.

Ok I'll take that on board. You guys are very nice to new members!

Well, until you fuck up, at least.

But do what Zarq said. When you fuck up (and you will. Everyone does. Oh my have I said more than my share of stupid shit.) and someone calls you out on it (and they will) - take it for what it is. It's a chance to learn. A chance to rethink how you might view the world. And at the very end of it all, hey.. you may still think you were right to begin with.

But take the time to think it over. I'm not meaning twenty minutes, I'm saying a week or two. Read the conversation that develops after you fuck up (because.. again.. you will. Everyone does.) and think about it. We've got all sorts of people from all sorts of places, and it's neat to find that shit you thought was normal is pretty much only in your tiny corner of this entire planet of .. what is it now, seven billion?

I think creepy avatars are eventually going to outnumber noncreepy avatars.

Man, I wish there was a moving Lurch avatar.

Eh, eventually I'll get tired of Bates and go back to Classic Moon.

Make one? Resize and reverse loop midway through?

Working on it. Succes not guaranteed.

by **SlyReaper** » Tue May 08, 2012 7:58 pm UTC

I don't have any creepy avatars, so I'll have to make do with a creepy sig that makes people who aren't used to it think there are bugs crawling on their screen.

@ newuser

Don't forget though that sometimes people will call you out just to feed thier ego, it's not always justified so if someone jumps your shit first try and figure out if it's just one of the forum assholes. (Click users name ---> Flip through thier posts ---> Are most of what they say just that user being an asshole? ---> move on.)

Moving on since this isn't the advice thread.

Make the shoulder blades in your avatar occationally turn into eyes, blink once, and go away. That would CREEP ME OUT. Well not so much now that I said it, but it would have.

I have this problem from time to time, it's not that I cant find anything to spend it on, it's that I can't find anything I find WORTH spending it on. I spend hours per day on Amazon and Newegg like, "Oh I can get that, but ehhhhhh would I really use it, or I could get that!!! Ehhhhhh it's a minor upgrade that I would barely notice". Repeat for HOURS per DAY.

Is my avatar counted as creepy or not? Just curious.

by **Hyphe** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:17 pm UTC

What's creepy about your avatar? It's just a tiny blue dude.

...right?

by **Panonadin** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:28 pm UTC

I think that Hyphe has a creepier avatar than yours garm.

Unless that blue guy is something that I'm unaware of that has a creepy story behind it.....if thats the case please don't tell me.

by **UniqueScreenname** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:33 pm UTC

I think it's too small to be effectively creepy.

by **darknut** » Tue May 08, 2012 10:32 pm UTC

i dont know how i'd make my avatar creepy

i could probably make you one that size or bigger for something like 100$ including fabric. that is if i fix the sewing machine.

Creepy avatars? Should I change to this?

Spoiler:

yes you should

by **Whelan** » Wed May 09, 2012 3:48 am UTC

Hyphe's avatar is not creepy in the slightest. It makes me happy.

The fox is so pleased.

by **Panonadin** » Wed May 09, 2012 5:02 am UTC

I never said her avatar was creepy, I was implying that garm's avatar was SO NOT CREEPY that even a happy fox is creepier.

For the record, it's..a kinda silly fox. (While this one is basically worksafe, the site is not)

I'm using my android phone's speech recognition to write stuff on the internet was hilarious inconsistent results. Maybe it is that I am not native to the language, but I can never get it recognize the word "while"
