やった

I've figured out how to type Japanese phonetically with just the keyboard instead of having to hunt and peck out of the character map. +1 to tech savviness.

I've left my computer in Japanese locale just because there are so many things that wouldn't work if I didn't.  So I get yen symbols for slashes now.

[Skyrunner]

I have ₩(K won) symbols for backslashes.

You people must have weird-looking filepaths with that.

[Tellemurius]

i got yakuza logos all over my filepaths (lets see who can find where i thought of that)

I started a new diet, a couple days ago, and am feeling surprisingly good. It's a diet of the "time to get healthy" variety rather than the weight-loss variety, so I still sneak in acceptably happy amounts of junk food. The biggest change has been energy and mood - It's amazing what eating more fruits, vegetables, and vitamin supplements can do.

As a side note, remind me to make major diet changes in degrees rather than diving straight into it. My stomach is probably off posting in the "wtf" thread right now.

So I just completed Analogue:A Hate Story. It was a sad, sad, story, I cried a bit, but it was also a good one, and I really liked the way the story was presented.

Spoiler: slight spoilers (click to show/hide)

So the setting is that in the distant future, Korea sends a slower than light colony ship on a generations long voyage to colonize a distant world. The ship goes missing, then shows up many hundreds of years later completely abandoned. You're some kind of archaeologist/scavenger sent to find out what happened. Turns out it somehow regressed into Joseon era Korea... You may need to work to suspend disbelief on this one a little bit.

This is basically all an excuse to tell a complex story about social inequality in a medieval Asian society by way of computer logs. I actually found this to be a really great vehicle to tell a story with, despite the kind of weird setting.

In short, an unusual visual novel about social inequality that I think Vector might like... or perhaps she'd hate it, I dunno.

New DF update! Minecarts full of adamantite battle axes flying in parabolic paths!

[Reudh]

Aced a Human Physiology test today.


FAKEDIT:

GGGOIJOJIJ MINECARTS!

[RedKing]

Dang. Would have been a good day to call in sick to work, had I but known.

EDIT: Wild Vector sighting makes me happy.

This actually related to Digital: A Love Story in anything but name? Same people, or references, or something?

I thought it was an interesting speciality from beforehand, but every day I spend at the department I'm finding out that it's far wider than I initially thought. I think I hit jackpot with this match

Where did you end up, by the way? Did you get in where you wanted to?

[ChairmanPoo]

Actually, I got into a larger hemato department (as in, four to five times as many specialists) than the one I'd been asking in. Not that the latter was bad at all, mind you, it had a few interesting things that mine doesn't, but the contrary is also true, plus quantity is a quality of it's own in this kind of thing, so I think the center I actually got does actually rate better than the other one in general, I think. Plus I'm geographically close enough to be able to consider making some rotations in it without too much bother (they're like 500m apart).
