My best guess as to what's going on is that she's trying to meet a new friend in the area, just like she told you she was. As someone who has been very insecure in past relationships, I can understand why you might be suspicious, but you have to figure if she moved 500km and gave up all her friends just to be with you, chances are she's not going to give you up that easily, so just relax a bit. Granted, that can be a bit difficult, so I'm going to give you some advice about how to handle this kind of thing in the future, based on what has worked for me: DO:
  • Talk to her when you are worried. Tell her that you're worried. Tell her that you trust her, but you're confused about why she did (whatever has you worried).
  • Believe what she says.
  • If what she did makes you uncomfortable even given that she's not up to anything, tell her that it makes you uncomfortable, tell her why it makes you uncomfortable, and see if you can work out a solution so you'll be comfortable, or she'll stop doing it.
DO NOT:
  • Do not go behind her back.
  • Do not read her email, her chat logs, or her diary, unless she shows them to you first.
  • Do not assume she's doing anything wrong.
  • Do not ask her to tell you the truth after she's already explained herself.
Asking the internet for advice like you did isn't likely to hurt anything, but it's also not terribly likely to help you either. First and foremost, though, what you should do is work on correcting your own tendencies of distrust. Relationships require honesty, communication, and trust from all involved people. They can also take a lot of work at times, but the result is worth it.

One problem with that idea: I don't want it.
I don't see how that's at all relevant.

16/9 is the widescreen TV ratio, however.

I would be against booting starred movies out on age alone; some old movies are still highly impressive when weighed against newer contributions. I wouldn't be against having a quantity limit, though. I'd rather the qualification be on quality, not age.
I mostly agree with this. However, in practice, this means that there'll be a huge controversy over what movie should or does get removed each time a new one is added. So I'd suggest that any quantity limit on stars is not a firm number, but fluid, perhaps a proportion of all publications, and is open to exceeding when called for.

Popularity isn't debatable, if a certain fraction of the populace all know and like a game, that makes it popular. the exact number is a little bit fuzzy, but nobody's going to disagree (for instance) that chrono trigger, super metroid, ocarina of time, and super mario 64 are all popular games.

Interesting how you removed all of my posts, but none of the posts ferret made in reply to them, even though they were talking about the same thing.

Ah, okay. So you mean you've given yourself the greatest number of options, and not necessarily that you attach the most moods to your posts.

Indeed. In fact, the only other poster to utilize them to the extent I have is superjupi. :P
Forgetting someone?

This is an emulator feature called "Multi-track recording" and has already been implemented in gens, and I could swear I remember hearing adelikat talk about using it in FCEU. Also snes9x has it, doesn't it?

It also unloads (and teleports to the end position) when you get far enough to the left.
Yes, that is what I mean. You bump a wall on your way to the left, and have to wait to fall to the platform so you can spindash again. And if I recall correctly, you were flying at the time, so it takes longer to fall to the platform. I didn't make any savestates near it, and it's pretty late in, so I don't feel like going back and rewatching to check.

the test doesn't accept "NES eggplant" as a valid answer for any of the pictures.

Incidentally I can only get 8. And two of those were found via google. One of the google game name finds was on that blue cyclops thing, though.

You recognize the blue cyclops from Sevenmotion/Virtualalex's avatar on the forums.

Scrap Brain 3 looks inoptimal. You want to get the moving platform unloaded from memory as soon as possible at the start, because when you approach it from the right, it loads in its final position. Final Zone also looks inoptimal. You want robotnik's last appearance to be from the bottom, and hit him the last possible frame you can, because the whole machine slows down when the last hit is scored, and you can't finish the game until the pistons is all the way retracted. (incidentally, the factor that determines which piston he will appear in next is how many frames you were in contact with his hitbox on the previous pass)

I did a bunch of TASing on earlier versions, but having been on the dev team for a while has made me unable to enjoy the game fully. I can provide you with any technical info you'd like, if you're interested in TASing it, though.

Mainly it was that long flight that looked dubious. Though, frame-by-frameing it, it looks a bit less dubious. I still wonder if you could have started the flight a few frames later, so there would be less speed loss, though.

I believe Bisqwit discounts the bot-generated rerecord count in his submissions.

Urk. Feature request: please have Gens warn in big, fiery letters when a movie is finished...
Nitsuja has already implemented this for next release. We just need to finish up some of the more major features first.
