That is unfortunate

So it turns out the reason I haven't been seeing my best friend in the class we have together the last few weeks is because she dropped out for financial reasons back in late March.   I am sad now, and feel really bad that I wasn't able to help a friend with something like that.

Update on that security thing

So it turns out all the sources I read might have been a bit overzealous. Not every website is affected. To my great relief, google and paypal are not, so that's a huge chunk of my workload remedied, though I had already changed two of my emails. Still need to test all my forums and such, but right now it looks like the only account I need to worry about is my Steam account, and I've always used those prepaid Steam cards, so while I'd lose my library, it's not like they'd get anything really imp

So that new Smash Bros. thing

Does anyone have screenshots from the 3DS Smash Bros.? I was in class during the press thing, and unless there is something terrifying hidden in the 3DS’ GPU, every screen and video I can find are from the Wii U.

You should probably change your passwords

Not just one, all of them. Every single one.   I am probably going to spend the better part of this evening after class changing mine on six email accounts, four forums, two social networking sites, my paypal, my bandcamp, both of my bank accounts, and on steam, as well as memorizing all of those. Delightful.

Hooray college!

So for those of you wondering why I fell off the face of the earth this past week, it's because I had a nightmare week-and-a-half these past few days. Four tests in the space of a week - including two on one day and one that I had no chance to prepare for because it was rescheduled due to snow delays so I didn't know about until I walked into class - two presentations, one being a group presentation where I had to split the work of four people with one other person who actually cared, and two pa

Strangely encouraging

Next time you fail at something and think people will never forgive you for it, remember that the Chicago Cubs came within 2500 fans of the Boston Red Sox in terms of fans last year, who have won three of the last ten titles, including that year, and the last time they gave their fans something to cheer about was exactly 17 days after the Model T was first introduced.   People are surprisingly forgiving sometimes, even if you haven't been able to shake off what happened.

Beyond stupid

So, on another forum I'm on, one of the mods got into a huge fight with someone and stated to threaten to ban him. For reference, the subject they got so heated about was something opinion-based(Not saying beyond that because I don't want a chance of people figuring out where this was).   Here's the crazy part though; the guy that the moderator was threatening to ban and that he got into a fight with? He's one of the forum's admins.   How on earth could you possibly think that threatening to use

Well this is awkward

How do I tell someone I'm pretty sure thinks we're dating that I'm not looking for a relationship - nothing against her, I just don't feel I have the time to be a good boyfriend or enjoy having a girlfriend right now - but want to remain friends without, you know, ruining the friendship?

The Golden Rule

If you want me to take the time to hear your argument out, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for me. If you want me to be respectful and reasonable in my response, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for me. If you want me to take you seriously and give genuine consideration to what you're saying, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for me. If you want me to refrain from insults and ad hominem and treat you with respect, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for m

Pal Park?

How long does it take to catch a Pokémon in the Pal Park thing in the Gen II remakes/Gen IV? Because at this rate I feel like it'd make more sense to commandeer a copy from a friend that's already beaten it and transfer them from Ruby to his game to my Pokébank to my copy of Y, instead of grinding through Soul Silver, but I don't want to keep a friend's game for too long.

Nintendo is dying

Playstation 3 sales: Approx. 80,000,000 Xbox 360 sales: Approx. 80,000,000 Wii sales: Approx. 100,900,000   Playstation Portable sales: 80,000,000 DS sales: 153,980,000   People that say Nintendo doesn't know how to turn a profit and is going to die soon make me laugh.

Rays

Not a big fan of them. They are a division rival of my team after all.

Straitjackets?

Anyone know how much a straitjacket costs?   It's for a photo, it doesn't have to be functional or anything, just cheap and look the part.

Yo Adrian

Finally tried out boxing tonight, and while A. I'm scared to death of brain damage and B. don't have the mean streak in me to punch someone else even with their consent, so I'm not interested in actually fighting, it was a fun way to get some upper-body work and cardio in. Hoping to make it a more regular thing. Apparently I have a really mean right hook for someone that's never boxed before, and considering how scrawny my arms are right now, it's getting nothing but meaner.   On a more practica

Politics in a nutshell

Everyone - including you and me - is wrong about everything, and nobody - including you and me - wants to listen to anyone else.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

Someone just bought my $5 album on Bandcamp.   For $250.   There are words that can describe how amazed and thrilled I am, but I cannot say them here.   Thank you, person-I-will-not-name-for-legal-reasons. You are a godsend.

Update on last entry

Yep, my advisor is indeed leaving. I don't know if he's retiring or if he was fired or what - I imagine retiring since he's not being forced out and swept under the rug - but he will not be there this semester. And apparently the person taking over the sound design minor is someone my past experience with has shown isn't up for the job, so I guess I'll be nixing my sound design minor and replacing it with something else. Probably graphic design just because all the credits for that minor are alr

Well that's just wonderful

So apparently my advisor might not be here next semester.   I don't know if he's leaving or retiring or if I'm just jumping the gun - he's talked a lot about the next year or two, I can't imagine he's retiring, but he's a longtime member of the staff and hasn't done anything wrong, so I can't imagine he's being fired - but looking at next semester's enrollment, there are new adjuncts and professors teaching a lot of his classes next semester, and he's not listed with the department staff for tha

Welp

So there was a girl I was going to see during my break this week. I had a crush on her in high school, but she had a boyfriend. She has since broken up with him, so I wanted to catch up with her, and if the attraction was still there, try and see if she has any interest back.   Well, we had lunch earlier today. While we were talking and catching up, one of the things we talked about was how she moved on and was in a new relationship with a new boyfriend.     Don’t get me wrong, I’m a mature eno

My little pixel, my little pixel...

I used to work with sprites on here all the time, but it has been forever since last time I did sprite art or pixel art. I think it's been at least seven or eight years. I forgot how much fun it is, even if it's a bit tedious.

I'M OLD

It is really freaking me out lately that I am a real, grown adult, and so are most of my friends. I don't know if I missed the part where they prepare you for this or if it just doesn't exist, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable when I talk to an old friend and suddenly realize this person I knew when I was twelve or thirteen got married last year and has a house and a dayjob and that I will have at least the latter two most likely some time in the next few years. When did I become an adul

3DS Smash Bros.

Does anyone know if there are any more details than just "2014" for when this is going to be released? Because I am already seriously looking forward to finally having a handheld Smash Bros.   Also can I battle people on my 3DS that are playing on the Wii U?
