8-Bit Q&A

Erm... What?
Well... I guess I am? I don't really know. I mean, I couldn't really care less about what others think of me (assuming that said thoughts are negative), and I do have some pretty remote interest areas, when compared with schoolmates...

Yes, I'm a massive dork.

 

Oh gosh.

To be perfectly honest, AstralDragon. He found me on FF one fateful day and sent me a private message, in which he talked about LV and the stuff it had to offer.

Normally, I don't do this kind of thing. I prefer solitude, so stuff like forums are slightly out of my comfort zone.

In addition, I had only begun getting back into Pokémon then.

So why did I join LV, instead of declining the invite?

I really have no idea. Some force of nature compelled me to at least give the website a look-see, and so I did.

Battling, art, graphics, there was next to nothing I could actively get involved in. (Not to mention that there was, and still is no Touhou section XD)

But yeah. I joined LV anyway, knowing that the only things I could do were just sort of talk about Pokémon in general, and do some roleplay, to a limited extent.

So the first week here was a bit... Eh. By the end of my first week, i was seriously considering just up and leaving, since I felt terribly left out.

In short, it was the community that kept me here. I didn't know that truly nice people existed before coming here. I'll stop there to avoid a mushy moment.

I went and learned how to use Photoshop, at least to a basic degree. It wasn't much, but it was something.

And now here I am. Something along the way kept me here, not sure if its a specific person, a specific subforum, or sonething else, but I managed to get to a point where LV had begun positively impacting my life, and si I stayed.

Even so, I still feel a bit transient every now and then, mostly because I can't battle for the life of me, which is apparently a huge cripple. But I can deal with that, since I'm happy here.

Whew. I didn't really mean for that to get so deep.

 

Now that I think about it, not a bad shipping. Yeah, I'd ship that.
I'm not very big on shippings though, and I can't really think of anything that I haven't told you yet XD

Good timing, I sort of took a break from writing after joining LV XD
Not only that, but most of my previous works were just experiments to figure out how this "writing" thing worked.
I really doubt I'm good enough to be in it, but alright

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't want to be a celebrity of today; it doesn't seem like something I would enjoy or want to be. But in order to provide an actual answer...
Johannes Gutenberg. Does he count? He's kind of very dead though.
I'd rather be a famous person like him. After all, who doesn't want to be the guy who's pretty much the reason why we have computers today? XD

So much swag that it wouldn't fit inside a Pokéball

 

I don't know, mayb- JYNX.

No, of course not. I'm going to go with the probably obvious one, Eevee. Eevee has many choices for the future, but has to choose carefully, because each decision is life-changing. Should it become an ice type, or a grass type? Maybe a dark or psychic type? Or even just stay an Eevee for the rest of its life?

I'm in a bit of a similar situation. I'm not really sure what I want to do with my life yet, but I'm considering computer science. I have this problem where I'm not exceedingly good at anything, and only decent in most interest areas, except art, which I'm terrible at. So I haven't decided. Maybe I should just never move out and live with my parents forever. XD (No, just kidding)

But yeah, Eevee, because it's really the only Pokémon I can find myself relating to, as weird as that sounds.

 

WHY WOULD YOU ASK THIS QUESTION
Bye deer

 

*FROWNS LOUDLY
Shiny Eevee, regular Eevee could use more love XD

Achromatic

Just kidding (of course!). This is a fun question though...

I'd have to say Ivan IV, because he was 101% directly responsible for the deaths he caused, which reaches up to 6,000 - 22,000.

In short, the reason why he killed so many people was because he was paranoid that they were going to overthrow him. He had his soldiers build up walls around the city of Novgorod to prevent anyone from escaping, and everyday after, had about 10,000 people sent to him for execution, all of which he happily witnessed. Yes, Hitler and Stalin have caused far more deaths, but even they didn't have corrupt enough a soul to watch them all die.

(Not to mention, he "accidentally" killed his son, and "accidentally" caused his daughter-in-law to have a miscarriage.)

 

I'm going to have to say Scrafty and it's evolution, literally only because of the design.

 

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see this until now.

There's a world of difference between 16 bit and 8 bit.

When working with sound, the process of converting analog sound to digital is performed by first doing something called "sampling," or discretize time, followed by "quantization," or the discretization of amplitude. If we quantize to 16-bits, each sample can have 65,536 possible values (216) and so this way, no information is lost if sampling is done correctly, according to the Nyquist Theorem. There will still be distortion, but it is practically inaudible.

I will shut up now because this reply will be incredibly long (and maybe confusing) if I keep going.

Chiptune music, mostly. I don't see any 16-bit music out there, and even if there was, I wouldn't want to listen to it. 8-Bit music is quite limited; it can't have many tracks playing at once, so you really have to get creative. Not only that, but 8-bit only has a dynamic range of 46 dB.

So yeah. 8-Bit wins.
