Nostalgia Train strikes Tiruin on the Feels!
The severed part sails off in an arc!

[Sirus]

Back to work tomorrow. One day off per week just doesn't last long enough for my tastes :[

[miauw62]

I got 67 out of 108 on that computer-stuff (no idea how to say it in English) olympiad, and I needed 72 to proceed to the next (and last out of 2) round. :(
Ah well. I'll try again next year.

I'm not sure if I should really go through with the 'going back to school in order to actually get out and socialize with real people instead of people that are exclusively online' plan, even going in to talk to the registration office, just being in the atmosphere of a school made me feel extremely antagonized, and I'm still not sure what sort of study to even pursue.

I'm still upset at myself for spending so much money recently on stupid, stupid, stupid fucking stuff. How do I know this wouldn't just be another waste of money, and even more so a waste of my esteem if my plan to actually make outside people friends just backfires in my face? I'm just not sure.

Here's the deal about going back to school: it seems like a huge waste of money and time on its face. The cost appears prohibitively high. However, if you can do it without getting overwhelmed by debt, it's one if the most valuable investments you can make. Gain skills, get certified in said skills, profit. Do it the right way, and don't half ass your way into something worthless, though. Pick a field that is interesting and pays well, and go grab your future.

^This. You're talking of college I assume, yes? There's no crime in waiting a semester/year either, if you're really unsure about it. Better to get yourself in a good headspace so you can make a proper go of things study-wise rather than fumble around lost wasting a year's worth of classes. Also, if meeting people is a major/main motivation, most student organizations (theater groups, hobbyists, weekend upside-down jousting enthusiasts, etc.) won't care too much if you're not actually a student.

Nelson Mandela is dead. Man, I hadn't really even been aware of the severity of his health problems, so, damn.

[Owlbread]

I don't think there was much left of him, if you know what I mean. His eyes looked blighted and empty when I saw him sitting with his family on TV a few weeks ago. I don't know if he had dementia or something but it certainly looked that way to me, I've seen it before. It's always horrible to see that.

A truly great man worthy of our mourning, may he rest in peace.

[Graknorke]

Really? He's been in hospital for probably the majority of the past year. Everyone saw it coming, but that doesn't make it better.

[Digital Hellhound]

Mmm, I have been aware (I can't claim to be surprised), but never did follow the matter so closely. Doesn't really matter, anyway.

[Owlbread]

I have been listening to this for a while now, thinking of Christmas and Mandela. Not for any particular religious reason or anything, I just think it's nice. I like this quote from him:

“No one is born hating another person…people must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love”

[TCM]

R.I.P. Nelson Mandela.

[Jopax]

Indeed, one of the great men of the last century. May he rest in peace.


As for personal sads, I bought an awesome 120 page sketchpad, something I've been looking to obtain for months now, a few days ago and it's been just sitting there, silently staring at me, judging.

But I can't touch it for some reason, can't commit a single stroke to the paper, it's terrifying. And that's the sad inducing part, something I love doing, something I almost never have trouble with is scaring the shit out of me, just because I got a shiny new thing which should make it all the more awesome.

This should prolly go in the rage thread instead, but meh..

The Humble Weekly sale used to advertise (edit):

Unleash your creativity with Multimedia Fusion 2, the software that makes your imagination come to life! Quickly create games or apps for various platforms, such as Windows, iOS, Android, Flash and XNA. With complete control over your game from start to finish and a new event editor system, you'll be able to deploy and tweak your work as you progress. Learn the basics of multimedia creation within an hour and put your imagination and creativity to the test!

See the bolded text? Not blatant lies, but it's certainly not exactly the status quo. Sure, MF2 allows you to do that, IF you purchase the relevant export module, which do NOT come along in the bundle, and for what I've been able to gather from around (their website does not work properly) cost around 150$ each.

Kinda disappointed


EDIT: The android, flash XNA and iOS bit was removed as of now

The awkward moment where someone is actually offended by your blatant insensitivity and you feel bad after.
