Guy keeps texting me, I don't have a texting plan so it costs money each time. I've tried to ask him to stop but he doesn't speak English so it doesn't really work out. I am on the verge of just snapping.
(and no I can't block texts from individual numbers)

I think if you talk to your phone company, they can block phone numbers for you if you ask. Alternatively, if you're on AT&T, I think you can tell them to completely disable texting so that they don't even come to you.

This guy's rant is amazing.

I think this gentleman had this rehearsed. It sounds like it came out of a movie. Like saying "I wonder what the best resignation note would be?" and then doing it.

So I got a comment on my youtube video for League of Legends, which I made like, a month after the game came out, and this guy decides to comment on the most inconsequential portion of one scene that wasn't really supposed to be there but had to be to connect with a later portion for coherence.

He says this:
"dude gtfo. U pwnd a lvl 7 alistar with lvl 17 anivia. Why do you even bother to put this shit on youtube? My girlfriend could have done that and she has no hands."

I stared at this statement in awe. I'm unsure if he's actually being serious or not, because to use your girlfriend as a stardard for utter retardedness is a pretty low blow to her more than it is to me, NOT TO MENTION the fact that he uses her disability as an even further criterion of lameness, in more ways than one. I'm pretty sure it's not real, but it still made me think about what he said. Doesn't bother me any since people who say stuff like that usually have no idea how to even play my character even remotely decently; I've played against MAYBE three Anivia players that were decent out of the 500+ matches I've played. Oh well, pretty ridiculous either way.

GUESS WHO'S BACK, GUYS.
GUESS WHO'S BACK.

no jk it's the companion cube

Do you remember me at all? ;~;

Okay so I have a Mac and the only way I can play my favorite game in all the world (Touhou Perfect Cherry Blossom) is using this crappy WINE-run program called MikuInstaller. (Yes. It's Miku.)
And so, when I start it up, it takes the longest time to start. I have to quit all my other programs and move all the other windows out of the way including the X11 window, or else when I start Touhou the other 3/4 of the screen will be a garbled mess of window pieces. The bottom left corner is where it actually RUNS Touhou and I have to hide the Dock so it will work in the first place. When it DOES work, Touhou is in the bottom left quarter, and the rest of the damn screen is total white. That's how bad it is. And however, I manage to play pretty well.

(I'm still working on my skills in Lunatic though.)

Oof. If I get some time to spare I'll dig it out and give it a shot

So many files I want to make first, though...

Welcome back. =)

Oh, hi, how could we forget you?

Easy solution: Parallels -> XP + Touhou = 30% slowdown but playable PCB

Santotsuga · « **Reply #399 on:** 10-09-2010, 05:15 »

Yay you're back! We have missed you!!

Welcome back to the old crew!

I myself don't play Touhou that much, but yeah, that's sucks.

Arguably, for some that makes it MORE playable...

Bid on a set of 4 foil promo cards on ebay. Lose bid.
Purchase the same cards, but non-foil non-promo, from someone else for a few bucks cheaper using "buy it now".
3 hours later the guy selling the foil promos sends me a "second chance" offer via ebay, telling me he had a second set of foil promos he'd sell me for my max bid, but I already bought the same non-foil versions.

Rage.

Sock memories from AX 2014: we were waiting in line (unofficially) to get into the Good Smile Company panel and the dude on staff kept saying this line over and over:

"The line for Good Smiles is capped!"

He said it about 7 times in a row about every 20 seconds. I thought it was pretty amusing. Sock was like "Seriously I'm going to tell brobeans over here that it's not plural. Can he just not?"
