You want to relocate on Gunner-Chan?

B-b-baka.

Unfortunately the "Inside a squid" act of 2013 restricts immigration to cute girls, with a preference to pointed or rabbit ears.

I am honestly surprised none of the previous few posts has made it to the OoC thread.


Meanwhile, I've had a massive headache today, and every single noise felt like it was massively amplified to the point that something happening on the other side of a room sounded like it was right next to my ear. Work was nothing but people shouting, slamming stuff or breaking stuff(often glass), and as I was leaving no less than two people screamed right next to my ear.

Also, my stepdad seemed to be upset that I used the microwave without also turning on its built-in exhaust fan that I didn't know(or care) was there. Apparently it makes condensation disappear, I would assume merely by its very presence because I've never actually seen condensation in the thing.

Still not worth fucking your sleep cycle.

This is why you maintain night shift hours, so you become immortal vampire supreme nocturnal.

Say nothing of the humans diurnal wiring, this is totally how it works.

One of the latest Nobel prizes was about that, actually?

It's a breakthrough but not in the "results" sense just yet, but they uncovered some secrets of our corporeal existence.  Maaaaybe even our time limits.  That's pretty cool.

Graveyard shift is the best, though?

I'm glad you have decided to join the nocturnal covenant. Soon, daylight will be nothing but a myth to you. We are night brothers now, earning our keep under the stars.

Come to the dark side

In related news, it is 3:30 AM here... I should go to bed.

My current job requires me at work on 4 AM on tuesdays.  Its the days (nights?) that the trucks arrive and we restock the store, until about 1 PM.  Although the feed restocking is done on wednesdays.  Sometimes I have to be in at 5 AM on thursdays to do backstock (whatever we got on tuesdays but had no shelf space for) and recovery (making sure the shelves look right, replacing misplaced stuff, and generally cleaning up).

Meanwhile, I just don't get Street Fighter style fighting games.  Quarter circle special moves I can get to actually work about 50% of the time.  The wacky "shurioken" Z motion was maybe 25% but I've maybe gotten it to quarter circle accuracy.  "Charge" moves, where you hold back and then snap forward with an attack button, I get to work 33% of the time.  I can't intuit when a charge is "ready", and I swear its different across games.  I the character designs I like in a lot of games get stuck with charge moves.  And I don't want to think about half and full circle motions, fuck that shit.

At least in Street Fighter itself, I can't intuit how to combo normals and stuff together.  Either I'm not using the right moves or there's an exact timing.

Meanwhile, give me a netherream game (Mortal Kombat or Injustice) and I'm pretty golden.  Special moves are so much easier for me to pull off (input two directions and a button) and combos work on a queuing system, you just have to give the inputs quickly, not necessarily in a specific cadence and the combo works.  I could even do the goofy-ass 8 string combos Deadly Alliance had where you swapped between styles mid-combo.

It frustrates me so because sooo many more fighting games adopt street fighter style controls.

Hell yes it is!  You dont have all those damned suits and other self-important morons up your arse on the graveyard shift. 3rd shift is best shift!

Are you playing with a keyboard? Fighting games are generally much more finicky about pressing buttons than rotating sticks. Even that quarter-circle motion becomes the incredibly specific move of "hold down, hold right/left, release down, release right/left, press attack button", which you then have to do extremely quickly and flawlessly to actually get the move out, and even if you do it just right your keyboard might not register the moment where you held both directional keys down.

This is pretty much the reason I don't play fighting games, as I've never really 'figured out' gamepads and find playing with them uncomfortable.
