Apparently, my last post on KSOF was in March... Just to reiterate, I'm mostly a lurker rather than an active participant, but I do keep tabs on HBHC ;)

@erundil: Reality is what you make it be... Just like the truth tends to be subjective. And everyone tends to be quirky in one way or another. In ...

I take it the HBHC link in OP Edit 4 no longer exists?
The reason for that is two-fold. One is that the domain supplier .co.cc no longer functions (which was a hassle as it happened suddenly...) and then I moved it to a different URL (subdomain of one of my owned domains, now just a subdirectory ...

People should consider if there is an intent to insult before they take offense from such things - and in the case of the word "mute" I can't imagine a situation where it would be used with such intent - especially if the alternative is a word few people have even heard.

I disagree with ...

I'm still in touch with ProfAllister and occasionally talk about FWoaN. It's not dead, it is simply that progress comes quite slow since there is not a lot of time for her to work on it. You can call it hibernation at best

I think it would be outrageously difficult to find a JSL teacher in the UK. Heck, I could only find one ASL class and it had been discontinued due to lack of interest!

Forget being authentic to a game, it is vastly more important to pick a language you will actually be able to use, both to learn ...

Yup, I know for a fact that it is still a work in progress, simply moving along slowly indeed because of job, life and such but definitely not forgotten about.

This thread makes me want to play Rogue Legacy again. Sorry, being off topic...

Anyway, can't say I "know" sign language, but last year I went to a few free lessons by a girl who studied it a couple years ("it" being LIS or Italian Sign Language, as I live there). I was inspired by KS of course ...

Today I found out that I am going to graduate. I would like to thank anyone who posted here during my episode of distress, your kind words definitely helped.
Congrats man...

As for myself? FML. I know, first world problems but still not fun:

I'm about to graduate with a BSc. Computer Science ...

On a different note, I find the difference between how Hisao treats Lilly's blindness and Shizune's deafness quite annoying. It almost gives off the impression that blindness is worse than deafness. Dealing with deafness isn't just learning sign language and boom all problems solved. But it almost ...

One of the interpreters I know has a deaf cat... Gotta love the irony

On the other hand, you're defining your identity as being based on an inability to do something. If you were able to perfectly remove that inability, would you reject it because you prefer having the identity over having the ability?
If I would not view it as necessary to my goals, yes. I'd think ...

Having better access to computers would solve a lot of communication problems.
You'd think that, but Shizune doesn't seem to like writting to reply to people and doesn't even check the messages she does get on her phone very often.
What is the main difference between face-to-face communication ...

Just like the Jihad portion of the Muslims... You know, those that strap bombs to themselves and blow innocent people up? Often for simply not being Muslim?
There often are over-radicalized people in communities. Just like that there are orthodox religious and others less so. Some are conservative ...

The North American Deaf community reviles people for getting cochlear implants to regain their hearing, too, branding them traitors.

Traitors? ...To what? Being deaf? That is unbelievably stupid if true...[...]
