what was that again...?
|
| Good morning, LJ, and I'm surskitty and these are your morning announcements. I'm a moderately-flaky lurker of many things fandom, and if I just added you, that's probably because I find something in your blog interesting! ... Or possibly because I'm a fish. It's a mystery.
I usually tag my entries, though rarely usefully for people not-me, and the majority of my posts are one-liners that would probably make more sense on Twitter. So yes!
I occasionally add fic I like to memories; we'll see how long that lasts. Fic I post goes either in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=88.8) erraticmargins or on AO3; I do not, however, mirror things because I am a special snowflake.
I EDIT STUFF FOR MY ICONS AND WILL DO IT BY REQUEST. I also sometimes add some icons to my LJ scrapbook but LJ is a bum who does not usually let me log onto scrapbook, so only sometimes.
ARTWORK GOES HERE and I apologize for gratuitous Pokémon forum post but at least it's all in one place. UNLIKE SOME THINGS . . .
I have a dreamwidth, though I do not believe in crossposting! Different things get posted between them; you will just have to deal. This one's more daily life sort of thing; that one's anything my mum wouldn't care about. | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment   |
| It sure is good I enjoy fiddling with my boxen, otherwise the fact that erufuunPC keeps freezing would be really annoying. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I'm hoping my problems were from leftover Mint 12 .files and that's why (x)ubuntu 10.10 would freeze periodically. I just deleted a ton of .files relating to config shit and installed lubuntu 10.10; let's see if this works fine. Unlike with the ubuntu and xubuntu installs, it didn't forget how to wireless card when I rebooted after updating shit, which I will take as a Good Sign.
I tried downgrading Aurora to a stable firefox release and it decided it really enjoyed crashing, so I'm back on Aurora. I sort of wonder what's wrong there, but I'm not that bothered, really.
At least I'm enjoying trying out different desktop environments. I kind of hate Unity, and GNOME 3 appears to be shitty (though I like the idea of the Mint panel), and pinaPC (which is running Chakra) is kind of borked and while I like a lot of KDE apps I'm not sure I would plan on using KDE for a main box. Thankfully pinaPC is more or less a media center so the wonkiness of the current install doesn't really bother me that much. I'll probably either work out what's wrong with it or stick on actual arch (and xfce, I think) sometime.
Am actually crossposting an entry, wtf is this shit. ETA: haha, went to edit the icon here on lj and was reminded that LJ keeps setting itself to japanese fsr. I mean, I don't mind most of it being in Japanese; it's just pretty random. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Hello! Suffice to say there are many reasons I haven't been posting, most of them not really worth repeating. I got through this semester, though! B in 2-Dimensional Design and in Korean; A in Japanese; D in ASL. I have had some thoroughly awful health issues lately; this month I've had what could be more appropriately described as an ellipsis: I am on my third period in four weeks. I believe the correct term is 'fml'.
I got a new laptop and a tablet! Haven't done much interesting with either yet.
I feel like I should comment that I've had a dreamwidth for a good long time (and no intention of importing posts or making a habit of crosspoting) and I've also had a tumblr for a while. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| Suikoden Tactics aka Rhapsodia is really awesome. This game deserves more love.
Snagged from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) syvia!
1. Reply to this post with "not if it's bitter", and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

| I haven't posted in forever! I'm perfectly fine. I think. There was an earthquake today! The devastation was terrifying.
But like, I have a question! It freaked out vernetarianist, and he's hard to freak out, so warning for what the fuck.

| I haven't posted in ages! Don't worry, though: I still exist! My brain's been eaten by Gensou Suikoden for a while, though. ♥ HEY, RPG NERDS. I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE. HAVE YOU PLAYED SUIKODEN AND IF NOT WHY NOT
Finally got around to actually playing V, and also played through II and am working on a second II file and my first IV playthrough whenever I remember. I also found a copy of Disgaea 2 recently! So I've also been playing that. (... Why is 'zam' the equivalent sentence ender they're using for 'de gozaru'? Wouldn't just having her use very polite speech to charge her chi work better? ... Ah well, maybe they wanted something along the lines of -ssu to dood, except saying dood at the end of a sentence sounds much better, dood.) ... And I've been puzzling at the Suikogaiden games and being very proud of myself whenever I understand something.
I am curious as to why english fandom seems to have a huuuuuge thing for III. The gameplay is way bad. Writing seems interesting! -- but uh. Gameplay. Way bad. Yeah. Wonder how many of the people who really really love III have played I, II, or V. The huge hate-on for IV I can get, though: the gameplay's pretty good but most of the stars of destiny are so creepy and the writing's a bit weak. On the plus side, it has a skip scene button in New Game+. The lack of skip scene is 95% of the reason I don't plan on replaying V anytime soon: I like the writing, and I like the characters, and I like the plot, but the voice acting is p-r-e-t-t-y bad and there are quite a few scenes I don't want to have to watch more than once.

Today I spent about an hour learning enough Scheme to write a script for GIMP! It's a fairly trivial script, but it's very useful for me, anyway. And I can now say I have used Scheme barely. Woo.

Irrelevantly, flyppc likes to inform me that I have 108 security updates I should apply. I just thought you should know.
---
More relevantly, gross, gnome-shell and Unity. Not sure whether I'm going to jump ship from Ubuntu to Kubuntu or to Xubuntu or to Bodhi on watakkoPC yet, though. I know I plan on switching either pinaPC or flyppc to Arch sometime in the not-distant future, though. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I went to get a sandwich from Late Night, as one does! But the cashier said, "We only have roast beef. Is that okay?" SO I THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A FEW SECONDS and go eh sure why not
TURNS OUT SHE WAS WRONG
THEY HAD TUNA AND EGG SALAD, TOO not much but they still *had some*
GUESS WHAT THE TWO TYPES OF SANDWICH THEY HAVE THAT I LIKE ARE | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| OKAY! Since Black and White leaked on Thursday, I've been reading through the game script! And noticing some things my Japanese wasn't good enough for, haha, and being reminded of others. So here are some of my thoughts! ... Also apologies for switching between English names and Japanese names; I'm using the ones I'm more comfortable with, and as far as the region goes, it's either Isshu or Unita.

| Looked up how to use grep today. Knew what it was used for! But hadn't actually used it.
So I've heard that a lot of people -- hello, zhorken and tailsy -- have been watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I was willing to accept that this might be entertaining, but I hadn't realised the depths of this is a good show. I haven't watched past halfway through the first episode but I am already in love. Though apparently Zecora is moderately problematic? I haven't seen her yet.
It's kind of amazing how much it surprises me when something doesn't follow the tropes of 'socially inept geek goes outside, makes friends, gives up geekitude' or 'fashion-obsessed girl is a ditz and also consumer-obsessed' or ... I'm not quite sure what character trope I was expecting Fluttershy to follow, but I do know I can't think of many characters who are very timid and quiet until they find whatever it is they're interested in. And then she is bold! She seems to know exactly what she cares about and as long as that's what the subject is she has her footing.
Also, the dialogue so far sounds very natural.
My mind is blown.
(Hey, elnigma! If you can get a toy from McDonalds of Twilight Sparkle that would be awesome. So far I love everyone except Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie I think I will love to hate.) | | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment |
