I sure would be having fun with Pokemon Go if it would let me log in.

Oh good! I'm not the only person having problems with it. I hope the issues are ironed out quickly.

I spent like an hour last night working on a map of this fictional setting I've been working on. The map is made of two pieces of 8 x 10.5 graph paper, attached to each other on the 10.5 side. I spent ages drawing in the coastline, making forests out of tiny individual trees, and drawing textured, isometric mountains instead of the cheap little "^"s I used to make. Then I spent just as long inking in the whole thing, and finished up by spending a good fifteen or twenty minutes drawing little tiny horizontal lines along the coastline to imply waves (this is an easy way to make a map look much more detailed and professional, even though it's literally just a bunch of squiggly lines next to a bigger squiggly line.)

This morning I managed to spill one drop of milk right in the middle of the damned thing and now the graph paper lines have blurred and the pristine perfection of the thing is ruined.

That blows.

But before you thrust a grid of digits into your abdomen or whatever, maybe scan it at a good resolution, touch up the borked spot or trace the whole dealio in your editor of choice, and just keep it as a digital image reference?

Meanwhile, here I am in India, where it seems to work fine.

Or wait a couple weeks and draw it again.  Its really disappointing to have to redo creative work, but it almost universally ends up better the second time.

More Pokemon Go woes. I don't get AR mode because my phone doesn't have a gyroscope. One would think an accelerometer would be enough (assuming no positional changes, just standing still) but I guess not.

I redrew it the day after. I still think the original was a little better, but it's still a worthy substitute. Plus, I touched up some of the rivers, since some of them looked kinda weird on the original.

A freaking huge fly landed on my netbook. I responded by slamming the foldy screen bit closed and pressing down on the top until it crunched. Now I have to clean fly guts off my screen.

Facebook made it so that when you click the post box, it darkens everything else on the page. It's so stupid and dumb and over-designed and totally unnecessary and really distracting and probably sucks the life out of netbooks/old computers/etc. and there is nothing I can do to change it.

[Shook]

Jeebus, they really did. I second your statement, that's completely unnecessary. :I

also urgh extra bad juju in stomachville right now

I'm PRETTY SURE it's just some shade of constipation (and the violent growling suggests a lot of gas on top of that), but it still don't feel good yo. It's especially egregious because it ignores the usual "i feel better when i eat" deal that i've been fortunate enough to get, instead being like "eating makes it worse lol". I could quite possibly have vomited earlier if i had committed to it, but i don't feel for that at all. Vomiting once basically also equates to opening the anxiety floodgates and hoping that i won't end up enacting this fantastic performance.

I have 7 pages of unread threads.

Also a headache.

An Australian politician I thought was pretty cool (by politician standards) just turned out to be a PoS.
Good thing none of his representatives were available to be voted for in my area- then again, I would have done more research on them if they were.

Oh, it's not released here either.

I just acquired it.
