I can't find an introduction topic. Is there even one, and if so, could someone redirect me to it? Or is this one of those forums where you just start posting as if you were always here? I hope it's alright to ask this here... O_o
Indeed it is.
Also, the next time you post, please try to think of a subject for your post that actually describes the subject. As in, what it is that you are posting about.
In this case, a fitting subject would have been "is there an introduction topic somewhere here?" for example.
So that when one browses the list of topics on the forum, each topic indicates what kind of content is there in, so people can know where to post about different things. If you make subjects like "a question" or "this is sudden, but", for example, nobody can know what kind of dilemma is discussed within without having to read the actual discussion there. Since people aren't exactly willing to wade through hundreds of arbitrarily named topics to find what they want, we recommend people to use the Subject field as it is supposed to.
That said, welcome.
Hello. Welcome. ASL? *laugh* =)
Got pics?
Haha... Sorry for the harassment. Just thought it was funny. God I love those old days in IRC. The internet was a happy place...
I guess I'll just leave with welcome. Hope you enjoy the time here. Also hope that you will produce some MASSIVE TAS:es in the future. ;)
Good observation. There's some random German guy who just happens to have picked "nooodl" as his youtube username so I'm stuck with using the 4 o variant :(
And to Highness - 12, male, Belgium. Never to young for TAS'es, but no pics though ;) And I'll try to do some massively, thought-through, entertaining, mind-blowing TAS'es later on!
moozooh: I had not thought of that. Only 59% of Belgians over 15 speak English. All this, however, only indicates that nooodl probably uses the Internet avidly.
Out of curiosity, nooodl, which language do you speak natively?
Dutch. Don't worry about not knowing about emulation when you were young, it probably didn't exist when you were 12.
Also, "Only 59% of Belgians over 15 speak English"... They probably counted people over the age of 30 with that. I estimate that about 80% of Belgians of age 12-20 speak English good enough to understand basic sentences.
At the age of 12, you should have had about 2 or 3 years of english classes at school (at least in germany, but it's similar in other european countries). Additionally, there aren't enough Dutch speaking people to warrant proper dubbing, most movies are broadcast in english with dutch subtitles. And with easy internet access for everyone there's enough incentive to actually learn english beyond the amount required by your homework.
Still interesting to note that a 12 year old dutch is easier to understand than some older native speakers.
Actually, emulators were around in 1997, when I was 9. I didn't start using them until I was 12 or 13. (And I don't worry about it.)
I'm going by the information given in Wikipedia, which says that it represents the ratio of citizens who "said that they could have a conversation in" the language.
