[QUOTE=Trekintosh;47378176]I've got a Bachmann DD40 w/ sound, but it's difficult to get good n scale sound in a diesel. My dad's got an Intermountain AC/12 Cab Forward and it has much better sound. The thing about model sound that most people seem to not understand is to keep it quiet. At my train club we use a term called "scale sound". Basically make it as loud as it would be in scale, so you can't hear it from more than a few scale miles away. And don't even bother with sound at all at conventions and open houses, it'll just make everyone trying to talk over it grumpy and everyone trying to listen to it grumpier.
However in general I try to make sure all my decoder a are dual-mode, because really I prefer analog controls. They have a certain nostalgic charm to them.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't bother with making an N Scale train DCC with sound. I meant the HO ones I have, one of those. The handy part of liking Japanese trains is like every possible sound they make is somewhere since like everyone there is rabid for trains.
And I'll assume that means they can be run DC and DCC with this dual thing? I thought that wasn't possible because DCC always put the full voltage through the track. But when did I ever know what i was talking about.

old one but I still look the same[/QUOTE]
You look a lot older than I was expecting.
High school was - pause while lecturer mentions Frozen, stop pausing when he talks about relevent things - actually probably the last thing I think I did as best as I possibly could in. I wasn't like some cool person I successfully played the massive nerd but everyone was nice to me.
After high school I had to deal with real world things like relationships and friendships and actually try in order to do well and things are kinda slowly falling apart enough that I don't really realise. Hopefully I will overcome it with optimism and hard work but...
We'll see!
Aw man I was happy as fuck this weekend when I came out but now I crashed totally and just cry about stuff. Scared as shit, didn't think I would change by just saying to my parents that I'm gay but apparently i've become another person.
[QUOTE=ultra_bright;47377976]What do people do here when it comes to hobbies?[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure if I even have any hobbies anymore. Got loads of camerastuff but I don't feel anything for it right now which kinda makes me sad.
Lifting is probably the only thing that makes me somewhat happy right now.
High school here was actually really chill. I don't really think there was any bullying going around. There were certainly cliques and such but they all kept to themselves. Then there was college which I kinda miss. Shit was really chill and I wish I had been older while doing it because the first year and a half without a car/driver's license was a god damn pain in the ass.

You're correct. A decoder equipped engine of any type should run on a DC layout. However, this should be done rarely because it causes extreme wear on the decoder and motor. Usually you're going to ruin your engine after 30 hours or so of runtime by doing that.
A dual-mode decoder can detect when it's not on a DCC layout and can run on normal DC track, as well as DCC. As far as I'm aware, all Bachmann Decoder-Equipped engines now have dual-mode decoders, but they're the only ones that have it as a company-wide policy. Digitrax is unveiling dual-mode decoders across their whole line in the next generation or two, too. It's good because it means you don't have to buy two of every engine if you happen to have multiple layouts with some DC and some DCC.

404?
I had my birthday party last night but I only really had it because I wanted this one guy who I've been pre-dating to go and then he didn't show up because of heavy rain and then I was stupid and sad for the rest of the night. I mean I made way too big a deal out of it and set myself up to feel that way.
Worse thing:
He just updated his cover photo to Terry Pratchett things so that's another check next to "things I like about you" not that I really know him and I'm being er... obsessive. I don't even know him. But I [I]want to[/I] is the point!

Tell him how you feel?
[QUOTE=ultra_bright;47378442]Tell him how you feel?[/QUOTE]
I mean, we both know we like each other at least physically on account of having kissed multiple times prior. It's just we aren't exactly at a stage where asking him out or anything in a one on one situation would have its best opportunity. Since I know there will be more communal events we'll be involved in in the future I'm happy go slowly for reasons. I just really built my expectations up for my birthday party.
About 40% of our interaction has been talking about ridiculous made up scenarios (it's cute), 50% has been him stealing/trying to steal and me getting back/trying to get back a rainbow badge I sometimes wear (it's flirting high school style~) and 10% was when I once got a bit serious about how dumb I feel about going to my university. Oh wait half that conversation was trying to figure out if we could go eat anywhere at 10pm. I ended up declining to go back to his house.
See how much I've overthought this.

I make pretty things in photophop and illustrator and watch anime
So my old creepy gay teacher back in the day started messaging me again.
I've told him that im still in a relationship with my boyfriend. And yet he is still asking me questions of "do i get horny when i go gym" and "have i ever thought about him whilst jerking off"
no. go away.
He also asked me and my best mate if we wanted to come round his house for some "fun" as he has 4 of his friends round and "things will get interesting" with us around.
Fucking hell he is creepy.

Nah, its not bad enough worth reporting.
Hes only a desperate horny old man atm. If he starts following me places or something then thats when i'll do something about it.
atm its only just facebook messages. i would delete him and block him but i've kept him because i might need a decent reference at some point again.

You know he ain't just gonna give it to you, he seems like the sorta guy who'd ask for "compensation" first
Sounds like a really creepy old dude, he might just not want to give you good reference for turning him down. Personally, I wouldn't bother and cut ties.
[QUOTE=kaze4159;47378901]You know he ain't just gonna give it to you, he seems like the sorta guy who'd ask for "compensation" first[/QUOTE]
Nah hes done it before.
Hes quite niave and would probably think that if he did this for me, he'd be a little step closer on getting me into bed.
You make it sound like he's herbert from family guy.
Has anyone ever met someone and you just wish the world was full of people like them? Just the risks they will take for other people's quality of life to be retained. They just seem like normal cool people and then you find out they're doing something that absolutely threatens their own quality of life and future of their life just to save someone else's.
Some prick was laughing at this gay dude on saturday. This gay guy was with a few of his girly friends. he was very feminine and had the obvious "gay vibe" but they were literally pointing and laughing at him.
They noticed me looking at them and pointing and kind of gestured to say like "haha look at that guy" and i just gave them the most pathetic look.
SInce im not a small guy, im broad, meaty and tall. I went up to the gay guy and asked if he was alright and if he feels unsafe then come get me. He thanked me and said hes kind of used to it now.
I just felt really bad for him and just thought how pathetic some people are.
I went passed the guys that were laughing at about 2am when we were leaving and kind of barged passed them since they were blocking a lot of the doorway.
People are just so childish sometimes.
I'd love for someone to stick up for me then ask if I was alright. I can't really explain why, but like if I was that guy I'd feel so protected I guess?
It won't happen though because I don't like looking anything other than boring, lest I get mocked and then start crying or something silly like that.
It just angers me how closed-minded people can be.

Unknown people coming up to one like that is a good proof of one caring. Definitely makes one feel better.
