[Shook]

Even though it's trendy to be a #nerd #gamer and post memes from I Fucking Love Science, I'm starting to suspect that geeks and dorks like me will always be the outcasts that are shunned even by other outcasts.

Them's not proper outcasts then, the actual outcasts (well, at least the ones that aren't misanthropic and/or asocial) typically enjoy finding like-minded individuals to geek out with. :v (and if anyone's thinking of getting riled up about "fake outcast vs real outcast", don't bother)

also jhsadgfkahsjgd i want a Cintiq but they are so damn expensive that i can barely wish for one as a birthday present

Grahh, didn't do as much PMs as I wanted, but I got down stuff for later. Hooray templates T_T At least this weekend will be very productive if no issues arise.

It's half past five in the morning and I forgot to go to bed.

See you all mid-afternoon, I guess.

Got my OSVR Dev Kit in the mail. Set the VR Headset up, was really excited to mess with it, etc.

Unfortunately, it makes me pretty nauseous, doesn't fit my big head, the adjustable diopter doesn't cover my prescription, the only lense position that fits my glasses is also the strongest vision correction setting (it and my glasses have a combined total vision correction of +9 which is really bad for my eyes) and by and large I can't use it.

Thinking about returning it, and just saving up for the HTC Vive. Worst comes to worst, I can just use OSVR software for developing. I just really wanted to support the project; I love what Sensics are doing creating a common standard for VR Hardware and Software, before everyone makes a bunch of proprietary connectors and software markets and crap.

Ah, well.

Awww, man, that really sucks.

I guess contacts aren't an option?

Yeah, not really. I've got some bad juju going on in my right optic nerve, and physical pressure on that eye is really bad news. I could maybe get good enough to avoid the problem when putting them in... but I have a hard time with the whole Put Things In Your Eye thing too. Especially given the infections and eye injuries that can result. Ewwwww.

Gonna try the VR gear again I think. See if I can handle the stuff. If not... Theres always Google Cardboard!

Ugh, if I hadn't spent $2 on potato crisps last night I would have enough money in my account to buy a small carton of iced coffee and a $5 falafel wrap from a shop around the corner today. Not sure I can muster up the energy to go down the street without the promise of iced coffee at the end of the trek.

At least said chips were salt and vinegar. I wouldn't mind one of those falafel wraps, though. They were surprisingly good, I don't usually like falafel.

Ah well, I guess it's eBay time then.

[chaotic skies]

eBay is the best place to find totally pointless junk that people just don't want anymore. It's apparently also a good place to get all manner of illegal things on accident, so be careful

[Orange Wizard]

I remember someone tried to sell a nuclear warhead on Ebay. That was pretty funny.

Just did a tiny bit of tidying in the horrible mess of my room, and now my motivation is exhausted already.

Whenever I code in C I start missing the features of Java. But whenever I code in Java I start missing the simplicity of C 

[Sergarr]

I think I need a happier-looking avatar.

[Helgoland]

Come join the Old Bearded White Men's Club then! Those are always happy, in a grumpy sort of way.

[TD1]

Marx looks decidedly unhappy wearing those ears. He probably thinks it's an insult to the proletariat. Of which he was not a member, but hey.

I suggest joining the depressing avatar club.

Oh wait, you're here already.

Hello.

Want a good cry?

[TheBiggerFish]

Or apply hugs to your avatar until they are happier.
