Hey there.
I'm glad to see this place still running, albeit a lot more slowly.
I have a little update for you guys. I finished my bachelors in mechanical engineering. I got really addicted to League of Legends for my first couple of years of uni (and didn't do well at all). I got to do a long internship with a company that makes bearings for the automotive and aerospace industries. I met the love of my life. For my last year back at school I did a neat project with Honda to make them a vibration machine for one of their plants in Ontario... under budget and ahead of schedule. Today I started my job as a product designer. I finally feel like a big kid.
that's great man. that's the kind of work I do. I get to design prototypes and fixtures and use a 3D printer all the time. You're going to love being an engineer. It's very rewarding. I'm starting a new position as well next week. I hope you have as much fun as I do. What design software do you use? I was on pro/e / creo for over a decade. I'm using solid edge now.

The company I work for uses Creo 2.0... I've started watching tutorials for it today. All my CAD experience was either done in Solidworks or Inventor up until now. Congrats on the new position. Hopefully you get to have a lot more fun with it.

Oh he's changed, he's even less ashamed of being a massive weeaboo nerd now.
The amount of fu  cks given has dropped to negatives. I now play weeb cardgames. Competitively. And I'm actually fairly good at them. Oh, and I use weeb sleeves cuz #yolofu  ckit

Hopefully you get to have a lot more fun with it. Creo is easily the most difficult to use, but also the most powerful and versatile IMO. You can do anything with Creo, especially if you have the resources to implement your designs. I'm really liking SolidEdge though. It's like molding with clay the way you can manipulate your models just by grabbing surfaces and pulling on them with the mouse. I haven't used Creo since version 1.0. I was literally one of the first groups of people to use it when it was updated from Pro/e to Creo. Let me know if you ever need help figuring out how to use it. It takes a lot of time to learn it all.

Just bought a one plus 3t direct from China (kinda scarey) $540 to the door. Best specs on the market, friggin screams 6g ram. Messaging app weak but can replace with anything out of play store. Hugs bro
Hey man I meant to reply to this but I forgot, sorry. So what's the update on this phone so far. To follow up myself, I just bought an HTC One M9. I had the HTC One m8 previously and really liked it so I just went with the newer model. So far it's just about the same but nicer and more up to date. Just what I wanted. Hey there.

Hey man congrtulatons on all your success. Mechanical engineering is very interesting. That's what I always wanted to do myself actually. Very cool stuff. I'll look for Ress brand bearings and put them on my stuff exclusively.

Oh, and I use weeb sleeves cuz #yolofu  ckit Oh yeah, how is the competitive scene going? And what is a weeb sleeve? Came in 13th at a Gran Prix in February. Missed top 8 and a win and in to Worlds on tiebreakers. Went to another 2 weeks ago and scrubbed out hard because I tried to play the meta. In a meta thats 100% luck. After forcing a new deck into the meta through what I did in February, coming in 4th at an ARG Circuit Series in November, and splitting Virginia's ARG State title in January, with different variations of the same deck(tweaks to adjust to the meta). I have people legitimately disappointed in me not running my Fairies. Oh, and some asshat took my decklist to a GP in the UK and got 4th and an invite to worlds off of it in March. The salt is and was real. That said, I singlehandedly drove the price of a card up $20+ and a bunch more a buck or so. I'm debating what I'm going to do in August. GenCon, which hosts a GP level event with invites to Worlds, is the same weekend as ARG Nationals, which will be a more competitive event. Already got my Nats invite, so I don't even have to try to defend my State Title in June to grab one, but still, can't decide. GenCon is in Indianapolis, Nats in Philadelphia. Weeb sleeves are card sleeves with art from my Chinese cartoons on them. These are the ones I rocked to Atlanta in February. Still on the deck, but all sorts of **** up from wear. Waiting on my shipment at the end of the month to resleeve in some new ones.  Oh, and this is the card I helped jack the price up on(it was at about $80-90 on release): http://shop.tcgplayer.com/force-of-will/promo-cards/alice-the-ally-of-fairies-alice-paladin-of-unwavering-hope

Hi friends check out this cheeky Tracer stealth cap:

Oh, and in other news, I'm 99% sure I've got a coil that needs replaced on my car. Hooray. And just after I fixed a load of **** myself(got A/C working again, took care of a vacuum hose issue, etc.)

Lol, that's pretty embarrassing for the other team. Looks like you still got your skills turbs. Overwatch has a much higher skill cap and steeper learning curve than I'm used to, but I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of it. Very fun game. Oh, and in other news, I'm 99% sure I've got a coil that needs replaced on my car. Hooray. And just after I fixed a load of **** myself(got A/C working again, took care of a vacuum hose issue, etc.)
At this point one could question whether that car is still the same car you bought initially. Sort of a Ship of Theseus situation.

I forgot about ur weeb **** handy. I'm sitting here staring at your post and can't think of a goddamned thing to say actually. My power level is too low to relate, but it is impressive in the geekiest way. Driving up the price of a card that much, single-handed, is pretty neat actually. Oh and those are the perks of driving a shetbox. It breaks down a lot and you gotta fix a lot of **** all the time but you come out a fully certified ase mechanic at the end if the journey. Now you don't feel scared of a breakdown on the road because you know wtf ur doing under the hood. Well done. That's legit more impressive to me than the weeb ****. Also, do you mean a coil pack or the suspension item? How the hell did you manage to break that? And it shouldn't be a hard fix actually. Just make sure that none of the other suspension items were damaged. They all work together constantly and if you damaged your spring, chances are good that you bent some serious shet there. Seriously good job there fegit.
