On this topic, how much is a hammered 88-key MIDI keyboard over there?

I'm seeing anywhere from $600 to $2000 again I'm no expert on the subject.  I don't even know what hammered means, but those are the price ranges I came up with when I punched that into google. 

And yea, both the $600 and $2000 say something about a hammer and 88 keys.  I'm guessing a hammer is something that falls on your fingers when you hit the wrong key?  Sounds dwarven.

I was looking at this.
Which is $430. Still pretty pricey, but I wasn't exactly expecting her to just jump up and buy it... or even buy it at all. She could have let me down gently instead of making me think she might let me have it, then abruptly turning around and going on about how I don't deserve it.

ePSXe is better IF you have the patience to configure it.

I loved MGS: The Twin Snakes. Though I didn't really consider it much of a stealth game... I like the kick-in-the-door method when I play games, so I just got really good at the combat so that I could blitzkrieg the guards if they caught me. I did try to do the stealth thing on the second playthrough, but it didn't feel quite right to sneak around when I could be giving the guards some knowledge of what they were facing. Sneaking around and eliminating guards without warning always rubbed me the wrong way. I suppose I played Snake like I would play a Knight or Paladin in D&D. Avoiding combat if I didn't need it, but going directly for the mission goal as quickly as possible, giving every opponent their chance to stop me if they could.

ePSXe is actually really easy to configure. I used to use it to play my old PS1 games on my computer, which was epic. Because i didn't have a light gun, I could just use the mouse instead!

Inspired by above posters I went to find my old psx games. Found my old favorites. PSX! Y U NO TURN ON!
Know any good emulators?

ePSXe will run almost every PS1 game. However, it has 1 major flaw. You'll have to dick around with the plugins regularly, as it seems as if most of them only function well witha certain amount of games. I'd suggest using pSX. It's almost as good as ePSXe and it requires next to no setting up.

I play dwarf fortress vanilla, with default settings (well except tons of embark points and minerals up to max). Took me like a year before I bothered with dwarf therapist.

I have patience for games themselves, not setting them up.

Blegh, extra maths class today, which is optional except it's not because I'd lose my EMA if I didn't go to it.
I wouldn't mind so much, but I've already got distinction criteria for our maths unit, so I'm going to sit in the class doing nothing, and rather than being home at 1 I'm not going to get home until 6.

I figured out what's wrong with Dustforce.  It takes the "Oh, you hit the button a tenth of a second too soon, you lose" aspect of Super Meat Boy and makes the levels ten times longer so it hurts more.

Sure, you can just keep going and win anyway without a perfect score but who goes for less than perfect?

It seems that as soon as I make any sort of big plan, no matter how complex or simple it will fall apart with the first step :I

So today I've finally had it with my roommate (the other one is pretty ok) and I've decided to take up the offer from a friend that I come and live with him, it would be cheaper and closer to the college, plus a kickass view of the sea. So I contact him only to get told that after some time he and his cousin decided that two people is enough and the offer is no longer available (it might change in the future tho).

Getting home late sucks.  I've been getting home at 10pm this whole week, blaaaarg

I manage bands. Its sorta income for all but mostly them. The most popular (of course) of the three bands I manage is breaking up. One of the people in it has decided to, "get a real job," huh?

1.) Have you looked outside lately. 'Tis the fucking great depression again and your only job experience consists of being in a rock band. Good luck. What the hell do you intend to do.
2.) You bastard, you make $28 or $32 K a year as a fucking rock musician after expenses. You're a fucking rock star...! Ok, so maybe you're not nationwide or anything but shit, what do you want man?
3.) You get up around the crack of 3 or 4 PM every day and hang out in clubs and shit after that.
4.) You still have paid contracted gigs to play and you better believe you're playing those before you bail, at least.
5.) You son of a bitch, you're fucking the rest of the band out of the money not to mention me. You're the most popular member.... We can't replace you. I've admitted this to you repeatedly. What do you want?
6.) You get laid constantly. How the fuck I'm not fighting off paternity suits for you, I'll never know.
7.) If you're on drugs and this is cover, you may need beaten severely and tossed in rehab. Thank me later.
8.) I don't appreciate being called an "over-glorified secretary." I've sued people for you....

I thought the managers were supposed to screw over the artists? God damn it I must be doing it wrong again!

Fuck you (my own) conscience; fuck you so hard; Im'ma beat you with the wallet you've emptied!

Welcome to the world of Rock 'n' Roll, where the frontman really is the band and he knows it and does not give a shit.

Why he'd be planning to walk away from the good life for a "real job" I can't imagine, but why do frontmen do any of the crazy shit they do?

[JoshuaFH]

Ya can only hope he gets the most realest job ever then.
