... TSUNADEEEEE

This chapter is depressing. For some reason I always thought of the Obito/Tobi thing as a... borrowing Obito's body situation. So when it was revealed that Tobi actually was Obito, I just thought 'well, something must've happened after he died'. It slipped my mind that he might have survived (if that's what Kishi is going to show us) and gone over to the dark side himself (an idea I don't like!). These last few chapters are making me want to go back to when everyone was a genin and life was dandy...

#406701 Fall 2012 Anime Line- up

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 19 August 2012 - 03:41 AM in Otaku Square

Lots of stuff I want to check out this season! Jormungand 2, definitely. I've been waiting to have a taste of Little Busters for a while and Code Breaker looks interesting. I'm a school-life anime glutton so Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Suki-tte Ii na yo are also on the list. Shin Sekai Yori has a very vague synopsis but the poster catches my eye XD

#406181 New computer and monitor resolution

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 15 August 2012 - 11:45 AM in Tech Help

I just bought a new desktop computer today (yay!) but there's one problem that I hadn't seen coming (not so yay)...

I have a 4 year old Dell monitor from my first computer. I think it's a 19 inch. When I hooked it up to my new computer, I noticed that everything was very... small. The text, icons, taskbar - everything made me squint. It made sense when I checked the resolution - after all, it's on 1680x1050 (recommended setting) on an old and not exactly big monitor. I figured everything would be fine after I lowered the resolution... aaaaand was wrong >.> All the other resolutions looked very stretched and enlarged; the only one that looks proportional is 1680x1050. I've enlarged the text and icons to 125% through one of Windows' settings, but it's still causing me quite a lot of grief - the text is miniscule when I open other programs, like Steam! The size of everything isn't exactly consistent and I'm pretty sure it's not doing good things to my eyes.

I've used this monitor for my old desktop, and after the desktop died had it hooked up to my laptop's display for the past few months. On the old desktop, the resolution was 1024x768 and everything was very snug and comfortable. On my laptop, which has a recommended resolution of 1366x768, the display distorted a bit but having a quick play with the resolution solved the problem. Problem is, I can't do anything about how the monitor is behaving to this new computer and staring at that small text is literally giving me a headache :/

I did a bit of googling and it seems that the problem might have something to do with the monitor and graphics card being incompatible or something. I don't know how to check the monitor's native resolution (~~though if I took a guess, I'd say it was very good at 1024x768~~ actually, after a bit of research I'm starting to think it's 1680x1050... and now I'm confusing myself @_@), but I know the graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 7450. The computer is a HP Pavilion, 3rd gen Core i7.

Soooooo. Are there any settings I can fiddle with to fix this problem? If not, does that mean I should get a new monitor? I'm praying there's an easy solution out there...!

Since I'm sure I did a terrible job explaining, I took some photos of the monitor at different resolutions (not sure if they help though) XD

1680x1050

1280x800

1024x768

I have no idea what I'm doing. Any help is greatly appreciated!

#405977 New Moderator Policy & New Mod

Congrats tricksie! You're gonna be great

The policy is a great step. I joined this forum for the fandom, but I stayed (well, ghosted about) because of the community xD Thanks for everything you've done so far, mods and admins!

#400522 FFXIII Versus Canceled!!! it's official and it's NO joke

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 21 July 2012 - 07:12 AM in Gamer Lounge

I really hope this is just a rumour! ... But my hopes are down since Square Enix haven't simply dismissed the claims immediately. I was very interested in the characters and setting - Noctis and Stella gave off more character depth than I've seen in other FF trailers (and I was rooting for some sort of star crossed lovers thing XD)

If it's not a rumour, I hope that the game material doesn't completely fade away, and that they carry on some characters and elements on to future projects. They're spending a lot of time on FFXIII, making sequels. I'm way out of the gaming industry loop but from a simplist point of view, I would only work on one project at a time. Ideas, brainstorming and sampling are fine, but I wouldn't announce a game six years in advance, slowly pick it at while I release sequels for another game, and then let abandoning news spring in after so long :/

#396710 They finally found it! The 'God Particle' =D

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 03 July 2012 - 12:51 AM in Ichiraku Ramen Bar

I have a fascination with news that actually relate to things I learned at school. I remember learning about the Higgs boson in physics last year, so it's very interesting for me. Science is a profound and scary field xD

#396485 What if the manga ended with no couples?

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 02 July 2012 - 04:39 AM in Naruto General

I actually wouldn't mind. It's strange but I actually came to like NaruSaku through fanfiction before I began looking for it in canon. If the manga resolves the pairings but poorly (which I don't think Kishi would allow), I'd rather there be no pairings. But knowing Kishi, any pairings should be fair. It'd be nice to end the pairing wars. Then again, those pairing wars are probably going to be the ones that keep the Naruto fandom buzzing for the longest after the manga has ended. We'll just have to wait and see what Kishi gives us!

I really want to see more of the old Gaang. Can they please give us a flashback episode solely devoted to them in their adult years? I miss Toph

I'm a bit out of the loop these days. Anyone mind telling me when the next episode is? XD Are they taking a break for a bit or launching straight in from next week?

#394147 What Is Your Blood Type Personality~

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 20 June 2012 - 10:19 AM in Fun Cafe

QUOTE (Kim @ Jun 20 2012, 08:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Okay let's see what it says about me:

Hmm perfectionist.. check., sensitive...check, bag of nerves.... check.

Hehe looks like my blood type is the most common.

Haha, my blood type is slightly more common than yours

O+ My mum mistakenly told me it was the rarest when I found out. It was funny because both my parents were O, so I had be one too and if I wasn't there was going to be trouble

Also, forgot to mention that it's interesting how Shauna thought about anime and manga character blood types in making this thread. It's so true haha. There's usually info like blood type, star sign, birthday, hobbies, favourite food etc. in databooks, and you don't notice that these facts probably shaped a bit of the character's personality in the background. Well, except for Naruto's favourite food.

#394142 What Is Your Blood Type Personality~

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 20 June 2012 - 08:36 AM in Fun Cafe

I recently found out I'm an O+ from donating blood

Let's see... Creative, kinda. Confident, maaayybeee (depends what). Popular... not much of a socialite but I guess I get along with most people haha. Oh, but I like to be the centre of attention sometimes! I'm the strange kid who fits right in being cuddled, pinched and wow'd at by relatives (maybe because they tend to say stuff like 'wow, you grew!'). I don't think I'd ever get into drugs or alcohol but I do get addicted to things very easily. I'll be addicted for about a month, and then I'll slowly grow out of it. And years later I'll look back and think back to all my phases XD

#394141 The Legend of Korra: Avatar Korra

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 20 June 2012 - 08:26 AM in Arts & Entertainment District

Late to a thread on an awesome show (among a mountain of other things) but since I'm on the boards for once, how can I NOT declare love to LoK?

Okay, I admit there was a point where I actually put LoK on hold, around ep 5, but then things started picking up and I was hooked all over again. I watched the last season of ATLA between episodes because for some reason I never got to finish XD SUCH. A MASTERPIECE. ~~psst kriiiisskkkk, remember allllllll those years (okay, not really that many) when you made me watch ATLA properly? 8D /shot~~

So far, I really like Bolin. He's a nice guy. I wasn't so sure about Asami at first but she's definitely grown on me (the race cars convinced me. oh, and the kick-assery). And after the latest episode? I was on deviantart for hours digging up Lin and Toph fanart

Haven't had time to read the thread at all but glancing through Abel's post, I have to agree that I seem to like ATLA better. Doesn't mean I'm unsatisfied with Korra - rather, I like the shows in different ways, because they're different shows, after all! ATLA was fun yet at the same time action-packed, intense and at times dark - I'm still impressed by how they managed to balance different audience themes. There's way more of LoK to come so it wouldn't be fair to compare them seriously at this point, but I bet LoK will be epic in its own way

I'm really glad the producers gave us LoK. Love people who answer to fans!

And another reason why I love LoK? Because I am remembering what it's like to become emotionally attached to something longer than finished 12-24 ep anime

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 27 February 2012 - 11:25 PM in Icha Icha NaruSaku

I'm pretty sure this can just be merged with the debate thread. This question has probably been pounded to death over there.

But it's a no from me. Not likely to happen. Sakura is a lot more compassionate, and smarter, than people give her credit for. She's not that whimsical.

#370789 Spring 2012 Anime Line-Up

Posted by peanutbutter126 on 27 February 2012 - 11:22 PM in Otaku Square

Again... Thomas the Tank Engine? o.o

I'm surprised about Hiiro no Kakera. Wasn't expecting it to be adapted into an anime in so near a future. I haven't played the visual novel myself but from what I hear it's pretty good, so I hope the anime does it justice

Definitely going to be watching Fate Zero S2 as well. The first season was slow but it also left me vying for more. I hope it just means they saved all the action for S2.

Hyou-ka caught my eye because of the art but I'm a bit wary about it after reading the summary. I was expecting a school slice of life so I got excited (maybe because the art reminds me of Hanasaku Iroha). Mysteries aren't really my thing. I'll probably still give it a shot when it comes out.
