I'd check around sites that are still offering Cyber Week deals, like NewEgg or something to that extent. Could have deals you'd be looking at around the post-Christmas sales for you to nab now.

Speaking of which, anyone nab any good Cyber Week (including BF and Cyber Monday) deals this year? I know you got yours DL with that phone, which is a pretty sick deal.

[Karo]

I haven't done any cyber monday deals mainly because I don't have any money to blow away which really sucks because their are so many games I want!

Its incredibly frustrating!

[Mr EliteL]

I feel for you, Yuri. Hope you can find some monies for some goodies soon.

Me, still looking for a laptop. Procrastinating a bit on it, I know I need one but not rushing into anything just yet. Looking around.

Watching the TWT Finals, the last Tekken World Tour tournament of the year today. Was a qualifier yesterday for the 20th spot of today's tourney, and watched that partly. Was really cool, as is today's with the best players of this year playing. Still going too, over 6 hours and in the final group stage before Top 8 begins. Would've thought the group stage would be done by now and well into Top 8, but more Tekken to watch is fun. Then when all is said and done, we should be getting a proper Negan trailer and/or the other DLC 2 reveals.

[ShiraNoMai]

Oh the TWT is going on, that would explain the random character trailer drop I saw on Twitter earlier. Nice!

Are you not working anymore Yuri? I can't remember if you were doing school fulltime and just that.

[Karo]

I've just been doing college full time for a while now actually which is why my money is low. >.>

I mean even if I did have a job I"m sure I'd be bad at managing my money and being broke anyways.

[Mr EliteL]

I'm not sure what it's like over there and if there's anything like this anymore, but do you get a grant or loan to support you during college?

My grandmother's been admitted to hospital, her legs is why she's in there. Mum and sister went out to see her today while I was had work (sister had the day already booked off). Glad they went as soon as possible even if I couldn't go myself, so she gets visitors. My step grandfather goes as well. Wasn't great, but wasn't bad, so who knows what will happen. Hope she pulls through, and if she does, gets a walking stick or something, as she's been so adamant about having one. She is in her mid 80's though, so she really needs something to help her. Won't keep posting updates, but that's a thing going on with me at the moment. Sister can't handle herself well, but think I'll be fine.

You do but my financial aid has run dry until spring. I gotta think about applying for more grants or something.

I hope your grandma will be okay EL. Maybe you'll be able to get to see her soon!

[Moonface]

Meanwhile I get no financial aid because I'm not touching another loan if I can help it and I doubt they'll give me a grant when I'm not an official American. Although I did get my green card recently so I am a legally recognised resident now. Not that I wasn't before but the green card is just the best looking thing to show for it.

Been ill the past week and feeling terrible on some days, other days felt better. I would've taken some time off work to rest on the really bad days but I know no one will work my department if I'm not there and I don't need the hassle of dealing with a piled up shit show when I'd go back, so better to just go in and do what I can rather than see nothing done.

[Maniakkid25]

Yeah, I have one guy at my store like that. Thankfully, it's just the one guy, not the entire damn department, so I feel for you.

I never post on here because I never have anything to talk about, but I suppose I could ask about what you all think about Tumblr's announcement to bend to Apple's will and remove all the adult imagery available on it. Sounds like as good a conversation topic as any from me.

Edit: I really should try to post more!

If you can avoid it definitely avoid any loans Moony as for me its too late for me my friend.

Go on and be free these chains and balls of loans will surely consume me and the quick sand will crush my internal organs soon enough!

I hope your feeling better now Moony! Seriously though if you ever feel sick don't be afraid to use sick time! I know a lot of people will drag themselves in even if they are dying of something.

That one guy certainly sucks~ I hope he gets his act together!

In general Cricket as long as you contribute a little something I"m sure you can find something to talk about! That what I do with my lfie and I sorta kind of get by! Maybe you can talk about the time you were on the battle field the enemy across the field was in their tank and you were sitting in yours...they were a sneaky bunch they had the better positioning on you! But you overcame them and sent them to the embrace of hades himself! 

As for my opinion of the tumblr thing its basically....eh if they want to hide their porn they can go about that, but if they are making sure to delete all pornographic content they mgiht lose some viewers that I'm sure will probably move onto good old furaffinity. 

[Maniakkid25]

Oh they are going to delete all the images! Apparently they are all moving to newgrounds! I'm like, "wat?"

My friend in a group chat linked this

[Mr EliteL]

Yeah, hope you're feeling better, Moony.
Something that I realised for a while, getting sunburned in Florida has affected my skin a bit. Not in a bad way as the peeling skin has stopped and feels no different, but where I was burned has left a darker area (I wouldn't say tanned) that hasn't completely gone away yet, so I suppose that's there to stay. This is on the outside of my upper arms and lower back (was burned in more places, but those where the areas stayed). Now I don't know why I mentioned this, just on my mind after having a wash.

Don't follow Tumblr related things, but eh. Not bothered about any of that. Newgrounds though, haven't heard that place in a long while. Won't be visiting that site any more than I already do, which is like none or once a year.

[queenzelda]

Ah, newgrounds.. I still need to finish watching Chrono Trigger Unglued sooner or later. xp

Tumblr is only going to have one blog left as per Dr. Cox:

[Moonface]

Tumblr removing adult content is basically removing the thing most people probably used it for. I can see people leaving it in droves like users being told their forum software is being bought by Tapatalk.
