Hey, can you guys help me out?
So I recently purchased a Gamecube and was wondering how to get the best image quality. When hooked up to my HDTV with composite cables, it seems to produce a very low resolution image (240p, I believe). The picture is just too muddy. From the research I've conducted, it appears that component cables result in the best image quality, however they're a tad bit expensive.
Do you guys have any suggestions for getting the optimal Gamecube experience?
Here is a video demonstrating the difference between composite and cable:...

you're better off getting a rig good enough to run dolphin with graphical mods for the games you enjoy playing if you care that much about it imo
Hook it up to a crt tv you mong.

Competitive melee player here. You don't put a GameCube on an HDTV numbnuts. It'll look ugly and lag on one. You have to buy a CRT, hell some people put them outside their house to throw away. Just get a crt.

Help, I'm very bad at conveying my emotions or thoughts because of my r9kness and I don't know what to say. Here's the breakdown:
>mother wants a divorce
>my three brothers, my father and I don't want this
>she suspects my father of infidelity, through some sketchy text and facebook messages she's found from the past year
>father said he was just humoring these women that messaged him, that it never led to anything else (which I believe because of anecdotal evidence)
>she won't listen to my father, thinks he's a big liar
>she's coming home very rarely now, probably staying with a friend
I know she'll listen to her children which includes me but I don't know what to say to persuade her to not divorce. I know her mood is very unstable so if I say the wrong thing it'll mean the end of it.
you can't force someone to stay in a relationship, and if they're unhappy breaking it up will probably be the best outcome for everyone
just from reading your post it seems to me like you have an insistence on seeing your father in the best possible light and an inability to see from your mother's perspective. Flirting with women on facebook and through texts is not appropriate, even if he was just "humoring these women" whatever that means. There is also likely deeper problems in the relationship that you don't really get.
Anyway,...

have a conversation with yourself as though you were trying to tell a 9 year old kid about the situation
But it's not your relationship. It's not your right to decide this.
By the way, normal people in healthy relationships don't 'humour' people that send flirty messages, she's right to see that as a huge red flag
Hey /adv/,
Should I tell my coworker that I like her? We have really good banter and I feel like I can be myself around her. I think about her a lot and I’m definitely attracted to her. I’m pretty sure that she likes me to a certain extent because she’s giving off the signals such as smiling at me, laughing at my jokes, and playing with her hair.
The problem is that I’m not dumb and I know I shouldn’t shit where I eat. Also she is a single mom which may lead to possible future drama. I know I shouldn’t even think about her as a potential love interest...

Haven't read the rest, but probably not.

then prove it and don't
>>17210251
You don't just literally go and tell her anything.
Take lunch together, see what happens.
But yeeeaaah, I wouldn't recommend a wok relationship, let alone a fucking single mom. I mean REALLY? Unless you're getting up there in age or something...
I think I've just received the longest breakup text I've seen in my life. It left me with more questions than answers. It started off by her tell me that she is suffering from medication withdrawal symptoms and her health has been bad
>she told me this before and I noticed that she takes a lot of medication...
Then she drops that she is staying at her parents home and won't be around our college this summer. Also, she is not sure where our relationship is right now and doesn't know what I'm looking for but would like...

go over to her place and talk it out
>inb4 long distance relationship
>>17210254
She couldn't even call me on the phone so I doubt she would want me coming to her parents' house.
>>17210296
well too fucking bad, if she's gonna break up with you she needs to have the decency to atleast tell you why in person
stop dating pathetic trash like this OP, have some self respect
so I have a few bad cuts from a drunken rage the other night. Someone please just give me some methods to make these things heal faster.
>>17210173
how bad are we talking? You may need to go to a hospital and get them stitched to properly heal. Otherwise just put some antiseptic on them and change your bandages daily. You have to let the wound air a bit between changings or else the scab will form too soft and could wash off while you're showering.
Got any pics btw? I've always been fascinated by wounds.
nothing really helps them heal faster (outside of some hefty claims by neosporin and other products of similar nature). if you have a real cut but it's not big enough for stitches you can duct tape it (and then wrap it in gaws if you're worried about "why do you have duct tape on your arm anon").
for the process itself if it really hurts just try to find something to distract yourself
>>17210220
rather than just putting straight tape over a wound I prefer an old fashioned bandaid, cut a piece of a 4x4 bandage dressing, place some antiseptic on it and put that over the wound then use medical tape to tamp it down tight over the wound. Good way to control a bleed too.
Anyone else struggle to fit into society here? I know a large amount of people on here are NEET, but anyone else here at least trying to make an effort?
It seems wherever I work I am a problem.

i'm 23 years old and you learn to live with it eventually and have a normie personality to hide your power level until you're around people actually worth being yourself around. don't waste words on idiot normies that don't get you further in life
>>17210127
>Am I ever going to be able to hold down an actual job like this?
Probably not. Employers want people who have people skills, can get along with others and can work both independently and in a team of varying sizes. Without these things, you're constantly going to be overlooked in favour of people who may not have as good grades as you, but do have these things.
>>17210154
Its not that I necessarily have bad people skills when it comes to customers themselves. Customers are basically just repeating the same question over and over again. Its routine and easy. I just give off bad vibes when I don't mean to.
Is there a way around this? Any advice on changing one's attitude dramatically?
Is it a bad idea to add every girl on Facebook I see and ask them out? I live in a small as fuck town and I'm really scared of girls screen shotting my thirst and posting it on Facebook and shit and have girls, people I know, exs, and shit like that seeing all of it
>>17210121
Please dont.
Girls talk amongst themselves about dudes that do this. You will become known as the dude that hits up every female. Permanently labeled desperate. You will be fucking yourself with a rake on the social ladder if you do this.
If you feel like this is the only way to talk to women. Add a couple. Go through the slow process of chatting and flirting.
Never ask someone out through facebook within a few messages.
>>17210136
I was going to talk and flirt but I figured if I messaged 30 girls 28 of them would ignore me
>>17210136
Basically this. And if I don't know you or don't know you well enough to have a Facebook conversation with, I'm not going to respond unless, if I'm being brutally honest, I'm bored and want to fuck with you because I know what you want from me and it's fun playing with guys like you.
And I'm one of the nicer girls.
Me and my gf had sex twice last night without protection or pull out. She uses birth control pills but last night I don't remember her taking it at the usual time. I'm pretty sure she completely forgot unless she did it quickly while I wasn't looking.
I don't want to ask her and wasn't able to get her to go away long enough for me to check the pills myself but in the event she forgot the pill and had sex twice, what are the chances she's pregnant?? Her period is in about 5-6 days.
>>17210114
You could just wait 5-6 days and find out.
Or
You could just talk to your girlfriend about it.
How long after did she take it?
>>17210738
I don't think she has taken it yet. She took it Tuesday, we had sex wednesday night twice and today she's still at work for a few more hours. Maybe she'll get home and realize if she hadn't already taken it when I wasn't paying attention.
How do I explain Baneposting to my gf, and that I am an avid baneposter?
Initiate her, obviously
Show her proof of your myriad powers, like the 4U crash
>>17210087
Just show her the plane scene. If she doesn't get the joke after that, she's not worth your time.
Ask her if she understands why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
>staying at a college
>been sick for ages and am stuck with a cough that doesn't go away
>clear my throat everytime I go to the communal bathroom to get rid of the phelgm
>bathroom either has no or very minimal soundproofing
>neighbours can hear it and aren't very happy with it
Any ideas on what to do? Obviously i need to clear the phelgm, but doing so is affecting the neighbours...
idk probably go to a professional trained in the art of diagnosing afflictions such as a medical doctor
If the retards you live with don't realise that sometimes people get sick and this means that they'll make noise, that isn't really your problem
>>17210070
Yea i did, it didnt help because there is no cure for the cold/flu.
The problem is how im supposed to clear the phelgm without disturbing the neighbours.
Is it possible to be 100% secure in yourself, or at least close?
>>17210064
not if you ever hope to have real relationships
>>17210064
That girl could be abusive and a giant cunt but I'd fucking put up with it for a relationship with her
Femanon here. Why aren't there more bets guys out there? They're sweet, considerate. and understanding. Alpha dudes are annoying and douchey as shit. Where can I find a beta male.
>>17210032
I'm serious. I just saw a post on /adv/ telling boys to be aggressive and disrespectful towards women and they'd get all the pussy. I hate it.
>>17210028
>Why aren't there more bets guys out there?
you don't want a guy with a gambling habit, trust me on that
Too much whining in this section. You guys sound like that guy in Skyrim who got his sweet roll stolen. Reading some of these posts... makes me cringe knowing that you people exist and are driving on my roads. Man the F4ck up, stop whining about b1tch problems. Boo hoo you lost a girl - go find another, Boo hoo I don't know how to talk to a girl - open your mouth and speak. Boo hoo I don't know how to get a job - get off your ass and fill out some job applications and dress neat. Boo hoo I dropped my bowl of spaghetti 0's all over the floor, should I clean it...

Said the man on 4chan
OP, you seem to know a lot about betas. Are gays like me automatically doomed to be beta, or is there hope?
>Boo hoo I don't know how to talk to a girl - open your mouth and speak.
Can't tell you how many times I've tried this and it never worked out :^)
is getting an asian girlfriend hopeless for brown/black dudes
and i mean cute asians, like japanese and korean, not ghetto ones
Japanese go for black dudes.
Korean-Americans and Chinese-Americans into the Bboy shit will be open to dating black dudes.
Brown guys can get it with the nerdy engineer type of Asian girls.
Mainstream Asian culture is very very very anti-black however, Asians literally worship whiteness. a 10/10 black/brown dude will go nowhere near as far with an "azn" as a nerdy 5/10 mark zuckerberg lookalike would.
You'd have more luck with SE Asians or pseudo-Asian looking Mexicans if you're brown/black tbqh
>>17209999
>Brown guys can get it with the nerdy engineer type of Asian girls.
Well I'm a brown engineering student at a 40% Asian university so this is probably gonna be what happens.

I'm just talking about Asian-Americans,...
