The Cozy (and last) Great Fox.
I guess I can't say i've been an absentee on this forum for a bit, looks like it generally stayed the same in general population, although for better or for worse is always a question. With a few new faces (and an old one, to my knowledge), merely judging, it's still quite the cozy home.
"Welcome to those new, and those returning to the last known Great Fox."
1. Debating on adding back my old characters again, although in recent months, I actually haven't used them in a while for anything. Do have new ones, and can leave the space for later additions...
2. Kursed, if your reading this, not sure if I recommend whether or not you should look into my later posts from "The Take Over" RP thread... I salute you all the same- To be fair, I did do a fair bit of reading of the Dead Threads back in the day, and had some interest in the posts there, your name stuck out there.
3. Being the Monokuma I am (and always will be (At least here and on Discord) ), I'll need to find a new profile of the good old Mono.
3.5. I keep coming back here, I always tend to skim the Discord, and not only did I join the Minecraft server, but found a current friend on that channel. Welcome toHope's PeakSF-O or at least in the Discord, Snow.- Read more...

How time flies
It's been quite a long time since I've used the blogs here. Let's see how much has changed.
My relationship is steady, I'm happy. I was promoted to Department Manager of the Pickup department about two years ago now. In April/May of that year, I found out that my store was going to be getting Online Grocery Pickup, and only one other store in the area had it at the time. We got two transfers in around that time, first was my new Assistant Manager (ASM), and then they hired a second Dept. Manager (DM). All three of us were flown out to Denver, NC for two weeks in June to train how to run the program. We opened in July and it started out OK for a while. Home Office kept increasing our order cap and we were not prepared for the extra workload. We never had enough people and the ASM went on medical leave for a few months which didn't help.
In April of last year, the company eliminated the second DM position in our store, I elected to step down and return to Electronics, where I had been before I was promoted.
This community has been my home for some time, and for a while I neglected it and didn't spend as much time as I should have. That changed shortly before DZ left and the reigns were handed to the trio of MK, Orange and Sawtooth.
After Saw stepped down, I figured someone had to take the initiative and help fill the role. I didn't know at that time that eventually I would be taking over ownership of the site too.

Ultimate Story 2
This is the next chapter to the Ultimate Story. This chapter starts out with the events of Starfox Adventures. In this story, Fox McCloud, joined by Misty, Bubbles, Princess Peach, Rayman, Banjo, Kazooie and Pikachu, set off on an adventure on a newly discovered planet known as Dinosaur Planet to save the planet from the tyranny of General Scales. Along the way, they meet new friends and allies, Krystal and Tricky. Krystal reveals that she is Fox's sister who was forced to evacuate Corneria after Andross attacked the planet. She becomes a new member of the Starfox team and a very invaluable ally as she has special abilities of her own. Everyone else's powers continue to grow as they learn of other advancements to their powers and continue to use them to fight evil.
As the story continues, the Starfox team learn more about their enemies, the dark wielders, such as their deep influence with the humans as well as the entire planet that they live on. They make even more friends and allies along the way. They have continued their relationship with the girls of GROUP, Sam, Alex and Clover and continue to work with them.
New stories that join the story are Scooby Doo, HiHi Puffy AmiYumi, YinYanYo, The Replacements, Chaotic, Total Drama, WITCH, FFX, Spider Riders and Sly Cooper. (The list does NOT end there; this isn't even half of what shows become part of the story. This is why I find the Ultimate Story to be a fitting name, as generic as it sounds)
They find out about a terrible incident known as the Rifter, which all magical beings have known as the End of All Existence. Eons ago, a terrible evil being known as the Shaman Emperor wanted to destroy all of existence but was thrown into the Shadow Realm. He was released from the Shadow Realm and attempted to eradicate everything. A lot of worlds were destroyed from this while a lot of the surviving worlds were fused together as a means to put a stop to the Rifter. The Shaman Emperor was forced back into the Shadow Realm, but he was to be released again.
They also learn of a group of Dark Wielders known as the Descendants of Darkness, who have played a major role in causing the Rifter. One such member they came across was Neela, a terrible woman who Sly and his friends have defeated in the past. Overtime, they learn that a terrible enemy that they have been dealing with was a member of the Descendants of Darkness and has made strides to release the Shaman Emperor from the Shadow Realm again.
The story ends with Fox, Misty, Krystal and Falco defeating the Shaman Emperor and putting an end to the threat of the Rifter once and for all. However, the story was still not over as there were many more enemies to be faced.

Software Feature: Vimperator - Firefox Extension
last update: 12/2017
When keyboard browsing try Vimperator:
Note: Other software to consider include - Vim Vixen, Pentadactyl, Vimium, or vimb.
Vimperator's default key bindings and commands are inspired by Vim - a modal text editor which strives for efficient hand movement. Though the extension's vim-likeness appeals to hardcore vim users, it's also a strong option available to any general user looking for coherent, extensive mouse-less or less-mouse web-browsing.
http://www.vimperator.org/vimperator/
Vimperator like Vim is extensive. Take the key combination 'gU', which takes you to the root of the site, something one may not need often, but is certainly convenient when opportune. To begin profiting, there is the Quick Start guide to read once the extension is installed, but here is an even quicker start guide/reference which is both brief and in plain(er) speak. Memorizing the following should get anyone off to a pleasant browsing session in Vimperator. Intentionally, this reference will not include everything.
[Super Quick Start]
The keys: (Normal mode - refer to modes)
j/k - scroll up/down by one line
h/l - scroll left/right
arrow keys - scroll respectively
space - down by one page
gg - go to top of page
G - go to bottom of page
gh - go home
gH - go home in new tab
gu - go to parent; ex: www.starfox-online.net/forums/forum/22-the-rec-room/ >> 2gu >> www.starfox-online.net/forums
gU - go to root; ex: www.starfox-online.net/forums/22-the-rec-room/ >> gU >> www.starfox-online.net
ctrl + c - stop loading page
ctrl + o - go backwards in history
ctrl + i - go forwards in history
ctrl + n - move to the next tab
ctrl + p - move to the previous tab
d - delete tab
u - reopen (undo) a deleted tab
r - reload page
R - reload skipping the cache
f - follow link: type identifying number or type a "hint" to narrow down selection
F - follow link in a new tab
o - open : enter url or text for the search engine
t - open in a new tab : enter url or text for the search engine
T - open in new tab but show the link for current page (good for manually navigating a website directory)
w - open in a new window
/ - find (forwards) on page key 'n' to cycle forward through each result
i - Vimperator will ignore the next key / key combination
shift + esc <or> Insert - ignore Vimperator
ZQ - quit browser
ZZ - save session and quit browser
tab - navigate Vimpercator menus
The commands:
:qall or :qa - quit browser
:xall or :xa - quit browser saving session
:bmark - create a bookmark
:help - bring up the help pages
:ha - print page
:history - view history
:dia - open a Firefox dialog; i.e. about, addons, preferences, et cetera
The modes:
[NORMAL] - For browsing. All key actions listed above are for this mode.
[INSERT] - To type in any field you enter insert mode. You enter this mode automatically when your select a text field.
[CARET] - To navigate the page with the cursor, used in conjunction with visual mode. Key 'c' to enter.
- Start with the find key '/ ' before Caret mode to enter at a known location.
- Use hjkl to move the cursor
[VISUAL] - For selecting text on the page. Key 'v' to enter. To enter visual mode you should be in Caret mode.
- Use j/k to highlight lines up/down.
- Use h/l to select by one character.
- Use 'w' to select forward by one word and 'b' to select back by one word
- prefix any key with a number to execute multiplicatively; ex - 3j : select three lines down, 4b : de-select four words back
- Key 'y' to copy or "yank" the selected text. ctrl+c/ctrl+v for copy/paste also works.
- Key 'p' to open (put) contents of the clipboard in the web bar or key 'P' to do the same in a new tab or key 'gP' do the same in a background tab
[IGNORE] - Vimperator ignores next key. Key 'i' to enter.
[IGNORE ALL KEYS] - Vimperator ignores all. Key 'Shift+Esc' or 'Insert' to enter. Good for visitors.
Key 'Esc' to exit to a previous mode (withholding Ignore all mode)
The other:
Smart completions ranked on frequency are available when following a link. Use this to your advantage. For instance, when I want to join the SF chat I could do: "tch<Tab><Return>". Alternatively, you might also record a macro for such usual motions. Refer to ':help macro.' Key '@' to play a recorded macro.
Key-mapping works just as well and can be more precise since the link, say in my case, to the chat can actually be defined, refer to ':help key-mappings.'
The notable annoyances:
1. In normal mode the scroll keys hjkl are set to scroll by one line while the arrow keys provide a smoother scroll. Scrolling by one line in normal mode can be disconcerting, if not sluggish. However, one line motions remains helpful in Caret and Visual modes. You may consider 1) using the arrow keys to scroll or 2) remapping hjkl to the arrow keys in normal mode.
To remap the hjkl to the arrow keys in normal mode, create a file named .vimperatorrc in your home directory and add the following commands.
nnoremap h <left>
nnoremap j <down>
nnoremap k <up>
nnoremap l <right>
2. The Esc key is reeeeally far away, but you need it to exit any mode back into Normal mode. You may consider remapping your Esc key to your CAPSLOCK key using the goto tool for your operating system. Not having a CAPSLOCK generally makes you a nicer person anyway.
3. Vimperator adds it's own a status bar. You may consider disabling the Firefox status panel bar if you haven't already.
4. The bright yellow highlight colors may clash with your sense of style. Fortunately, you can customize these colors. Simply refer to the command ':help color.'

A Bit About Me
Hello, everyone. I've gone by many names over the years, but for now I'm going by VM. I'm primarily a photographer, and I've always had a soft spot for the Star Fox series. I don't think I'm old enough to be considered a greymuzzle just yet, but I've been hanging around the furry fandom for over a decade now. I'm also a general computer nerd who has recently realized they actually hate computers, and so I'm trying to make photography work professionally rather than continuing in IT.
If you've followed the Krystal Archive at all, you've likely seen some of my photo sets of Ayano posted at some point. I'd love to find some other SF cosplayers to work with at some point, but for now some of my best fursuit/costume work is of her. If any cosplayers (Star Fox or otherwise) are interested in organizing a photoshoot in or around Texas, or if you just want to hook up the GC for some Assault, hit me up!
I suppose that's about all I can mention about myself in polite company. If you're interested in seeing some of my (and another's) work of Ayano, most of my photos from TFF2017 have been uploaded here. You can also look at my professional-ish general portfolio if you're so inclined. So, thanks for stopping by. I hope to hang around for a while.

About the so called First-Minute-Faves
MMMM!
I know, this isn't DeviantArt, but maybe some of you post some art there, so you might be familiar with this.
First off I like to thank EINsamer-wANDERER, who gave this term.
I'm probably making myself unpopular and appear like an ungrateful bastard, but since it happened, please allow me to say a few words about this.
Personally I write...strange stuff, that mostly appeals to only a few people. So I'm used to a very tiny readership, who don't even comment regularly. That's completely alright, because like they say: You write for yourself. If it manages to entertain some people, bingo!
Of course that doesn't mean that I don't care about my readers. It's very important to me to keep good relations, as every reader who bails out is a huge loss, that can't be compensated for. (And I like to discuss my stuff with them, harhar.) So if my stories "fish" potential fans, especially if they fave and comment, then it's equal to a jackpot and I throw a party.
But what if...
...it's only done for advertisement?
You probably know it: You submit your art and a few seconds later, you receive a notification that your deviation got a fave. It isn't that bad in the case of pictures, as one look is often enough to decide if you like it or not. Even if you are not necessarily a fan of the content, you can still fave it for the quality.
Wait, what about literature? Where you actually have to read it, tackle with the plot, characters, world building and more? And don't tell me you fave it just because it's pleasantly formatted and the spelling and grammar are good.
Now you could say that a fave is still a fave, and besides, it is only supporting you. Does sound like a win-win-situation, right? Well, until you realize that a first-minute-fave is meaningless and your deviation drowns under all those other first-minute-faves, practically leaving you where you started - and a "fave", that just says "Screw you" in your face. Especially horrible for newcomers, who lack the fanbase to shrug them off easily and want to know if anybody cares for their art.
They're also very obvious to discern.
Considering that a llama is merely annoying and their notifications can be disabled, though useful for advertising yourself, a first-minute-fave is actually worse.
Even though the possibility that someone will read this is low, I still wanted to voice my opinion.
My conclusion:
Please, don't do them. You are only destroying the hopes of the (probably new) artist for your personal gain. If you aren't actually interested in their art, but want to support them, then at least give a llama. Even if it won't get recognized.
Feel free to discuss the matter with me if you want, I would be really grateful. Maybe there are some points I didn't consider?- Read more...

A huge realization.
For a while whenever I am alone I have this depressing feeling inside me while I am thinking about stuff. And sometimes when I am in the middle of doing something, I stop. Suddenly I don't want to continue on whatever I was doing and I just starting thinking with that feeling inside and sometimes it just comes out of nowhere when I see things come to an end that I was never apart of until too late. But then, a memory flashes on me that I've seen before and it was the show I used to watch as a kid and it may have affected me and possibly my behaviors or so.
What I realized that I was feeling Blue
Never have I felt like this for a while until now since for a while I have tried to combat it with music that sorta fits that mood, probably make it feel sympathetic. I'm not sure if this has been a blessing or a curse.

I'm back
So... yeah, i'm back after what? 3 years? I've been away because of problems i've been having all this time... I really don't expect anybody to remember me. Anyway, i don't really have much friends so i'd like to make a 'formal request'(?), or invitation rather... feel free to send me a request to my steam or through here (though preferably steam). If you do get to my steam page don't get scared with the description, i will ask you a few things to be certain that we can be friends that's all. I realize this may sound a bit pathetic(?), but hey i'm just being honest.
Here's my steam profile.
"Deleted" (i've decided to put the link in my profile instead to of having it here for security reasons)
Shit posting and bait will be ignored.

Chasing After Lucidity
So these past couple of weeks, I've been shifting my interest from hypnosis to lucid dreaming.
What is lucid dreaming, may you ask?
It's essentially when you become aware that you're dreaming, while you're dreaming. Sounds paradoxal, but some of us have actually already had lucid dreams when we were still kids. We just can't remember them.
Different uses for lucid dreaming exist out there, most common of which include helping to cope with traumatic experiences in our life, such as anxiety or the departure of a loved one, to fantasy fullfillment or meeting certain characters and creative problem solving.
Having lucid dreams at will isn't insanely hard, but does require a few weeks/months practice and the motivation. Good thing I'm willing to try, and that's the motivation.
I'm also keeping record of the dreaming I've had over the past couple of weeks so I can pick out any odd details that help me recognize that the world I'm currently dreaming in can be identified as a dream. One detail I've noticed that's been recurring is the involvement of different video game characters in my dreams. So I'm training myself to recognize this particular dreamsign, so next time I'm dreaming and I see someone such as Mario or even the ChuChus, I can recognize this and come to the conclusion that I'm now dreaming.
So, at the end of the day, why exactly do I want to be able to have lucid dreams?
Call me crazy in the head, but it's so I can meet a friend I've been wanting to meet in person for a very long time. In the flesh, blood...
...And jester hat.
I want to meet NiGHTS.

Rage, Motorcycles and Under the bed Monsters
In life I wanted many things. A fast muscle car, big house, a stupid dog, an evil cat, a beautiful woman who loves me and makes me enchiladas. Now I may not have all that stuff and sometimes I lose sight on how good I have it. But if one thing has taught me anything, its that good things come to he who waits.
Long story short, I was an annoying, impatient little @#%$. I was losing my mind waiting to grow up, thinking there was this magical feeling you had and your childhood dies for you so you can move on with the next chapter of your life. Like some sort of right-of-passage thing, ya know? And glory be...it never happened. The instant I turn 18 was an easily forgettable moment. To this day I can't differentiate what end and what began. I was told lies people!!! LIIIIIIIEESS!!!!! I got my first car, first job, first job termination and to be honest I still feel like a little kid. I'm an adult now, where is the change?! I guess things got easier when I came of legal age, age to drink that is (mmmm, vanilla rum and coke).
Almost 10 years later, nothing. Again what am I supposed to feel? I was always stressed so money problems were nothing new. But never drove me to drink, never. The only thing that has driven me is body pain when the meds aren't working (don't do that). Things still seemed pretty much the same. Then I realized something:
Is it really important? Is this right-of-passage what i really need to get my life going? My life is going right!
Weird how that came to me. I realized people, other people other than me have the same problem and that its not an isolated incident, this is human nature. That made me feel more normal
If that wasn't enough, I got my cat (but he dumb) and my dog (but hes super smart) and my gf...Well, she's my wife and she does make me enchiladas. Still waiting on that car, but its not important. What is?
...
Sorry, I uh, I don't have a moral for you. Just be true to you, I guess

I could use a little help...
I'm not gonna sugar coat this, I need some help. I've been without a job for 3 weeks now and I'm out of money. Overdrawn actually. I understand if you cant help, but if you can, I would be eternally grateful and you would have earns the right to berate me/ask for things in the comments of this blog.
Help... Please.

SF:Zero
Played through a few more levels in Star Fox Zero tonight. Boy has the game gotten a bit tougher. While yes the controls are a bit to get used too, I find myself switching between both screens and after failing several missions a few times I have yet to throw my Wii-U controller across the living room.
The setup I have in my house is rather exciting. In the Main room, we have a 5.1 surround setup with an HD projector broadcasting it's delicious glory onto the motorized projector screen we have.
Yay technology!

Another year, more school. Can't wait to see what this upcoming year has to offer in terms of political/world events. Working on my fanfic at my own pace so as not to rush it, working in general, and playing way too much Civilization V. Living the dream, eh?
At least this is the first time in a decade since we could write a "6" in the year!

Rest in Peace, Satoru Iwata.
Lately, I've tended to avoid making long walls of text in public places these days.. But hearing the news, I thought It was time to put my thoughts out there.
On July 11th, 2015, Nintendo's CEO Satoru Iwata passed away due to complications from a bile duct infection. Iwata was an iconic figure in Nintendo's community, joining Nintendo's HAL labrotory in 1989 as a programmer, he helped produce many of the company's work, such as Balloon Fighter, and Earthbound, before becoming a Director in 2002, and eventually It's fourth President in 2003.
As a Nintendo fan from childhood, I am thankful for all the years he's put into driving the company to where it currently stands--Still creating new, and fun experiences for gamers around the world. He had a personality that certainly left an impact on everyone he met, and as I write, and see the articles and tweets that pop up, he seemed to have the same on the world of gaming. He was very passionate about his work, and I can say with my heart that he will be deeply missed by everyone.
Tonight, I will be lighting a candle for the him. He shaped a company that made a real impact on my life, and love for the industry, and the type of person I aspire to be like. I only hope one day I can be like you.
Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata. Our thoughts and Prayers go Directly to you, and your family. We will never forget you.

So, EastWest is doing the SaaS thing now.
SaaS, or "Software as a Service" is a trend in software companies to provide unlimited access to their product(s) for a recurring fee rather than a larger upfront costs for a standard perpetual license. Perhaps the most famous examples are Microsoft's Office 365 and Adobe's Creative Cloud.
Sample Library developer EastWest, makers of the EWQL series of sample libraries, has now jumped on this bandwagon.
It's tempting, I must admit. I could plug so many holes in my soundset right now if I signed-up, but I already pay for Adobe's SaaS and that shit really adds up over time.
I use several EastWest products already. In fact, the majority of my sounds are EastWest products, though. I'll definitely be thinking about this.

SF-O is now running on the IPS4 platform.
IPS4 brings a modern, responsive, design as well as a bunch of new features, such as at mentions (IE @ROB64 ).
This also marks the beginning of SF-O.net 4.0. SF-O.net 1.0 was the old phpBB days, then we went to SMF and Wordpress with SF-O.net 2.0. SF-O 3.0 was IPB and Wordpress, 3.5 was complete IPB.
SF-O.net 4.0 will be the first complete content rebuild since the original wordpress site was designed by @Mr. Krystal. My goal with this update will be to finally make SF-O reach my vision. It will be a lot of work, however, and I cannot do it alone. I ask the community to please assist in this effort. Remember: This is your site, too!
