[Shook]

Welp, i might be getting sick. There's been some headache/nausea thingmajig going around, and i guess it was only a matter of time before it jumped on me in these closed quarters. Either that, or what i feel is a combination of beginning hoarseness and eating too much licorice, which is actually not that implausible considering how much i've been singing the past few days and how much licorice i've eaten today and yesterday. But, even if i do get sick, i am at least fairly used to bowel discomfort, so i might not notice a huge difference. >.>

also yesterdays tally ended up at 8 flies and 4 mosquitos in a 10 m² room that's been sealed off for most of the day

I played this shooter I had on CD for years sitting there, Activision's Battle for the Pacific, coz I was bored with RPGs and wanted something straight up shooty. Sort of like COD-lite, but you're up against the Japanese. Cranked it on "hard" level coz why not? I didn't want any reason to play it again. Finished the entire game in under 4 hours, it was a cakewalk on the hardest level, and it didn't even have a save system to exploit: if you died then it's back to the last checkpoint which felt too infrequent. So even with a lot of deaths and trial and error, the game didn't even last more than 1 evening. Oh well at least that's one more old CD game I finished and can chuck out now. That game has the honor of being the shortest shooter campaign of any I've ever played.

Sounds vaguely familiar, but not more than that. I guess it also doesn't sound like a very memorable game. :v
I can totally relate to having a shit ton of old CDs lying around though, there's over 150 of them in a shelf next to my desk at home. A few dupes, granted, but there's quite a few of them that i've never really played. I'm actually not entirely sure of how we even got them, and a few of the games are older than me.

also quaint feeling

It feels like my immune system is actually able to fight the oncoming illness, since i'm feeling slightly better now than earlier. That is normally not how illness proceeds for me. Before onset, it's usually either constant during the day (at least without Glorious Drugs(tm)) or slightly worsening, with the only real shifts being during sleep. Of course, this could easily shift for the worse after this night, but we'll see. As it stands right now, i am not impressed. :U

[chaotic skies]

Hey, maybe it was the licorice.

[TheBiggerFish]

@Shook: I'm going to peg it as the licorice, knowing how I react to sugar binges.  Your results may vary.  Either way, feel better soon.    *pats*

[Solifuge]

Just finished watching Re:Zero. Now where will I get my supply of feels from? ):

Y-you could always watch Konosuba if you want more of the same, but completely different? And kinda tasteless? Or, speaking of tasteless and similar, you could watch Sword Art Online Abridged on Youtube? Unlike normal SAO, it's intentionally bad, and has solid writing, comedy, and voice acting? Also or you could watch Re:Life! It's not Re:Zero, but the title sounds the same! It's actually pretty tasteful, is chock-full of feels, and the web manga is still going! Oh, and when you're done with that, you can watch Erased / The Town Where Everyone Except For Me Exists. It's more of the same to Re:Life, but also completely different, and also full of horrible and wonderful feels.

Take two of them, and call me in the morning. Or when you're done.

Sincerely
- Dr. J. Animes

Had a cool dream. Can't really remember any of it apart from a game of weird-chess against some villainous alien with telekinetic powers.

My mild sad is that my sad-thread sad got ignored.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I just realized why I'm okay with 9/11 jokes. In some ways they're the start of the current mock-activism trend, recently exhibited by Harambe memes. They're mocking the excessive, often quickly-forgotten nationalism inspired by the event of 9/11 itself. Mocktivism, in its way, somewhat preserves the sanctity of the original event. People whip themselves up and go into raging hysterics over something that doesn't even involve them, that they might not even have been alive for; other people come along and mock them for their raging, pointing out that their response is unwarranted at best, extremely disrespectful at worst.

However, this is the opposite of mock-activism. This is trying so hard to be sincere that it loops around and mocks everybody. It's disgusting.

[TD1]

No, it's just a corporation trying to cash in on emotions.

[hops]

captalists so evul right gais hurr durr

[TD1]

Ah. Mocktivism raises its head.

And in this case I'd not say evil. Just stupid.

[hops]

I think corporations and 4chan are good reasons why hivemind is a bad idea. The intelligence gained doesn't compensate for the stupidity gained.

Like the saying goes, an individual is smart, a population is stupid.

[itisnotlogical]

But I'm a 4chan user and corporations (ones that produce and ones that distribute) are the reason that we have easy, comfortable lives compared to as little as 100 years ago
