Did your parents buy your sister's iPod? Can't you guilt them into buying you one, too? *shrug*
Not sure how not 'trusting' them comes into the equation. I don't trust the sweatshop workers who make my underwear, yet I still stick my nude, sweaty self into them every day. I haven't died. Yet.

Nope, she saved up the cash herself.

Trusting: I don't approve of how Apple tries to rake in all the money for itself. (read: I'm a beardless linux-maniac neckbeard)

(So I'm a neck obsessed with linux, I guess)

Anyway, I don't really understand that mindset. What, does he think you're just collecting video games, and any old video to add to it will do? :I

I tried to convince him otherwise once. I made an argument something along the lines of:
Dad: *rants about how I have enough video games already*
Me: "They're sorta like movies and books. Imagine Robert Jordan came back from the dead to continue writing books. Would you stop buying them because you have 'enough Robert Jordan books'?"
Dad: *rants about how video games aren't books*

It's just a losing battle. I'm probably going to start having to cough up my own money, tax included, before I finish high school. (I mean, before, I'd take the bulk, and my mom would cover tax, along with the off chance I misjudged the price by a dollar or two.)

At least I have free roguelikes, insanely difficult old NES games (The first ever Batman game is a classic example!), and outdated tabletop RPGs with Bay12 in case I'm too poor at some point to manage.

But doesn't every company try their darnedest to rake in money? Isn't that the idea? Oh well.
Personally at the moment I just wish I *had* any money to be raked in.

Was walking along through the CBD, thought I heard someone say my name.
I glanced around, spotted a group of people a short distance behind me including someone who looked a lot like a friend of mine, and for a moment I thought I must have known them and they'd called out to me- then they turned and walked off in a different direction.
I hate it when my brain is being all jumpy like this. Every half-heard word becomes my name, and every glimpsed face is someone I recognize. Stoopid brain. Stoopid anxiety.

I love my sleep-deprived brain.
I was just considering the possibilities of launching micronations into space.

I GMed a game like that (you are Latvia) with a friend in a long car ride once. It was pretty crappy, as all of my verbal short games are, but basically he installed rockets under Latvia and blasted into space. And helped Finland take over Russia. And nuked the Us, as all the Muricans just watched the missiles and said 'pretty...'. And tied a rope around a black hole, as well as a few stars and universes.

Supervisor had us install google chrome, ad block plus and a personal url blocker on our machines.  While our trainer was remoted into another trainee's computer fixing an issue.  Our trainer warned us earlier in the class time that there were fake ones and to make sure we got the right one.

Super ended up having us all install a fake version of Ad Block plus.  Despite trainees mentioning that it has a very bad rating on the site and that they don't think that's the right one.  Sure enough it's fake.  Fortunately it doesn't do anything but direct to a bad site when you click it to configure.

I thought supervisors watched over trainers to keep them from making mistakes, not to cause us to do vpn disconnects and an hour of virus scanning.

Trying to make a sprite sheet, but I'm not entirely sure why. Apparently I've been at this for almost seven hours now.

Which is sad, since it's mostly just pre-existing sprites that I'm editing, as opposed to me actually making them from scratch. I'm barely over half-way done, too.

Also, my dad doesn't seem to consider pixel art as art.

[Sirus]

Your dad is a philistine :/

[BlackFlyme]

Your dad is a philistine :/

Actually, he's a better artist than I am. E: Not that I'm a good example. Everyone in my family that does art is much better than I am. /E. He was even offered a scholarship to an arts school before he graduated high-school.

Though he hasn't drawn in a long time.

[Sirus]

Then he should really know better. I guess that's why you're posting here in the WTF thread

[Yoink]

Whilst saying it's somehow not art is a bit ridiculous, the kind of art a person likes is very subjective.
I despise manga, that doesn't mean it's not counted as art. Same as awful modern art pieces consisting of a couple splotches of paint on a canvas or a box placed on the ground... although that only counts as art because people claim that it is.

I'm watching an LP of Hatoful boyfriend.  WTF Japan.  WTF. 

[Furtuka]

It's surprisingly well written and serious once you get deeper into it.

Just received a Facebook friend request from a complete stranger, presumably a spammer of some kind.
The weird thing is, unlike the usual spam profiles which have profile pictures of attractive females, this one has a cover photo saying "Senior Quotess" and the profile is what appears to be a yearbook photo of some guy with a bad, 80s-looking haircut, with the quote at the bottom saying "I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me."

If this is a spammer, are they even trying? What's the deal? O.o

Edit: Hmm, it appears I might actually know them from somewhere in meatspace- they're a member of several groups to do with my city and live music. Maybe I'm supposed to recognize their name from somewhere. >.> Still not gonna add them, but uh. Weird.
Nevermind, those were just groups Facebook decided to recommend to me for various reasons. I'm a derp.

[Mech#4]

Apparently, the Thug Life chose you. I wonder if they give discounts?

My brain has apparently decided to associate a webcomic I recently read and a particular line in a song that I started listening to around the same time. There's virtually no thematic similarity between the two, and even though I thoroughly enjoyed both the song and the webcomic, the feeling I get from the association is negative and feels kind of like anxiety.

Now I can't entirely enjoy the song because I just start thinking about the webcomic and feel anxious. Dammit.
