Welp, breezed through that exam. Although I never want to see the term 'Research and Development' again, fucking cartesian products.

Four months of summer now, time to dissolve into a pool of lazywoof and relax.

Got myself Fire Emblem: Awakening. It's great so far.

Interesting. How do friend codes work? I kind of forgot if FE:Awakening had some form of multiplayer that used friend codes, I'm not sure.

Wanna exchange?

Damn, I miss Shook's comics, now that people are mentioning him.

Fun fact: I ran into Shook on the Toribash forums a while back. Turns out he's pretty well-known over there.

He's also fairly well-known on the Data Realms forums :v

Got a perfect score on an assignment today!
That, more than anything shows the combination of positive thinking and antidepressants pulling me out of my funk has pretty much worked.
(Though this next part isn't exactly happy, it was pleasing to know i instinctively did the right thing)

On the way home, about 1.5km from my house, while going 35km/h on my bicycle as I was approaching an intersection (I was slowing down, don't you worry your collective heads) when my front (caliper) brake locked on. I flew arse over tit, cursing all the while, and managed to do an awkward tuck and roll, protecting my head and ensuring i only really hit my limbs on the ground painfully. Pick the bike up off the ground, assess the damage.

- Front derailleur lever housing is buggered, but the derailleur lever itself is still working fine.
- Rear brakes are buggered beyond repair.
- Rear wheel nearly came off because the quick release lever struck the ground as i fell.
- Possible buckling of rear wheel, not sure - it seems fine, but was squeaking in its housing a little as i wheeled it home like a rickety old man.
- Front reflector snapped off, but that's trivial at worst to repair.

Oh, I noticed him there once, then completely forgot they are the same person.

Aaaaaaah! That has to be one of the worst things to happen on a bike (that doesn't involve another vehicle).

I am immune to bug bites! They don't affect me at all. Everyone else is just like "Oh no my entire skin is bitten and made of itching", but I just walk through a cloud of mosquitoes and nothing happens. Even wasp bites for me are like the average persons mosquito bite. Its like having a little superpower.

I envy you.

Fuckin' wasps and their fuckin' stoopid sting things.

I'm allergic to bees, wasps, and hornets, so this is like the exact opposite of what goes down for me. Except the mosquitoes bit. They don't like me very much at all, for whatever reason. If a wasp stings me, I have roughly anywhere from three to fifteen minutes before my esophagus swells shut, which tends to complicate normal bodily functions. If I have an Epipen (Pseudo-epinephrine autoinjector, to be precise ) then the range is more like ten minutes to thirty minutes.

The nearest hospital is thirty minutes from here though, and most of the clinics around here are closed most of the time, or hardly equipped to deal with an emergency.


Also, I'm happy today. In a minute, I'm going to walk the two miles to my place of work, and it's going to be a really nice walk. And I'm off today so fuck yes.

I found a pretty awesome person who shares nearly(?) the same mindset I have.

This japanese game with cute girl-ships is making the google search I do after reading Erkki's Admiral War in the Pacific AARs way mor entertaining.

[Trapezohedron]

I don't get the hype, to be honest. Not that I hate it, but it just kind of suddenly clicked and now everyone's talking about it, or at least the anime community has some passing knowledge about a game that even tries hard to keep non-japanese gamers away (not that they succeeded with it).

I do have one thing to thank them for: it makes looking for ship names easier to name my ships in a certain space sim with.

[Steelmagic]

I read about it, didn't think much about it at the time, then not a day later I hear about it everywhere. Doesn't really bother me, though.


In vaguely related happy things, I'm fairly happy that I found a good WW2 naval strategy game and am currently bombing the ever-loving shit out of British ships and ports in the tutorial.

[Descan]

Which game would that be?
