So, The 13th Can Be Bad...


Lady Kopaka

581 views

Today is Friday the 13th. Huh. And I’ve discovered that, it can in fact prove to be a very terrible day.

 

Assassin's Creed keeps crashing on me, and I have no idea what it is doing. (The NEXT person that suggests lowering quality gets a fish in the face!) I'll probably have to wait for a patch from Ubisoft. :wacko: Sigh.

 

I ordered Mass Effect a few days ago, hopefully it won’t crash. :3 Though...I kind of regret getting these new games and video card, I can barely get on this computer. In fact I have 10 minutes left (I despise being timed. ;;) so I need to hurry with what I was doing.

 

Another odd thing about today is my brother is currently at the hospital. Some dog bit him and he's probably getting bandaged up or stitched. I'm not so sure, but he was in pitiful shape. :(

 

And a bunch of relatives are coming over tomorrow, oh no!

 

And no I'm not officially back... I just felt like talking about the hilarious coincidence of today. I really need to find a way to get more than 30 minutes a day on the computer, or I’m going to go insane or something. DX

Raise the quality?

 

 

It's a crazy world.

Have you tried lowering the quality on the game? Wait! No! Don't slap me with a fish, I can do that very easily myself, ya' know! *attempts to slap self with fish, but hits innocent bystander*

Ow! Dalek, that hurt. (Note to self: Stop being an innocent bystander)

Don't you hate coincidences? And having your computer use timed does suck. I'm glad mine isn't timed anymore.

Too true.

 

1. Our car wouldn't start. We had to go neighbor hunting. AFTER EVERYONE LEFT FOR WORK.

2. Eran into every red light.

3. Hearing aid batteries did on me. No replacement handy.

I'm sorry, but that's kind of sad. You need to find a better pass-time. Find a book or story to read.

Maybe all you need to do is clear up some space on your hard drive. That sometimes works. :shrugs:

 

2. ran into every red light.

 

I ran into every red light too! :lol:

I actually LIKE today.

 

Pssssst...don't do anything to the quality!

Hrrmmm...

Maybe you shouldn't have bought Mass Effect?
>_<

I mean, it seems like with all the money you're spending on games and computer upgrades you could've bought an Xbox by now. :unsure:

Creed's a rather glitchy game and have a tendency to crash. It happened to both me (360) and my friend (PS3). Mine, however, crashed, and then my 360 in return ate it with a crazy ring scratch from below. >[

Oh no. I hope your brother is okay :( . I didn't even notice it was Friday the thirteenth! Today seems to be going pretty well for me.

 

I lead a backwards life...

She never said that the computer is all she does. On the contrary, she just expressed that she needs to find time for the many things she does on the computer. Anyone who knows Lady Kopaka knows that between her art, school, etc. she has plenty of other things to occupy her time. But wanting more than a half hour on the computer per day is in no way expressing some obsession or dependency.

 

Anyway, LK, I hope your brother is OK, his situation sounds pretty frightening. And relatives visiting can still be a good thing, so let's both keep our fingers crossed. :)

Thank you Aanchir. :) And he's right...Eagle-7, that was kind of rude to say. I understand what you mean, but you have no idea what I've been through over the past few weeks. :(

It has nothing to do with hard drive space, it's some corrupted file; thanks for the suggestion though.

The video card was a birthday present, and I got the games for a cheap price, so I did not spend a lot of money on them. Secondly, I can't get a 360 okay?

Though, my brother is feeling much better, he got stitches and is just watching cartoons now. xD

Have you tried uninstalling the game, then reinstalling it? That always fixes corrupted files for me. You may even be able to keep the save files so you won't have to start all over.

 

...

 

And I'm glad to hear your brother's ok.

I've considered that idea, though usually unistalling/reinstalling never really helps. I think its just some bad glitch from Ubisoft. Of couse when I have the time, I will try that out.

Maybe you should up the quality, grandma.

 

Or ask someone younger than you.

You know, someone who wasn't born ten billion years ago?

Like tech support.

Did I say that the computer was all she did? Uhhh, no. Anyone knows? Maybe you do, but I don't really know her that well, so no, I wouldn't know that. And I didn't say she was obsessed with the computer either. I'm simply pointing out that you shouldn't go insane from only being able to go on the computer 30 minutes a day. I think 30 min. is a perfectly reasonable amount of time unless you need more time for work on it or something.

 

LK- I meant no offense and I didn't mean to sound rude. Actually I find it kind of strange because many other people here on BZP have said that when I say some things it sounds rude. I'm not trying to be rude. Just trying to give my 2 cents. My apologies if I came across as rude, and no, I do not have any idea what you have been through the past few weeks.

Then instead of coming across as rude try proof-reading your posts.

 

Maybe she wants to be on longer because she actually has people online that she wants to talk to.

Or perhaps catch up on numerous websites.

You don't know, so saying something is sad makes you the one who's sad.

 

Also, if other people have said you come off as rude, then you should probably look into fixing it or something.

*is standing up for Lady K*

I don't mean to debate, but never said I was freaking out. I said I was annoyed by it. I was being slightly sarcastic about going insane. But having little way to contact friends and being stuck in the house 24/7 kind of makes you want to find ways to socialize.

Ding, ding, *gives UK a sticker on the forehead*

I don't know about you, but to me it seems clear that by saying she'd go insane she was using hyperbole-- she didn't mean she'd literally go insane, but BZP isn't even half of her activities and even responsibilities on the Internet. Even offline she often uses her computer for her artwork. Sorry if I seemed up-front about what you said, and I understand perfectly that things can seem rude that were not intended to seem such. Just remember that what you see LK doing here on BZP is not at all the limit of her computer activities.

 

I'm so glad your brother is all right, LK-- I know that even when a sibling annoys you frequently it is painful to see them in danger and I am glad to know that he is back in a condition in which you can feel more comfortable about his well-being.

No, I was being sarcastic.

Everyone knows the only social life is on BZP.

Ah, Friday the 13th. A day that once saw my fathers almost-vintage car break down on the side of the highway.

 

I won't comment on Mass Effect as your next blog post mentions it.

 

If you haven't already bought a new video card, I'd recommend doing so. If you have, it's either the RAM(Inexpensive answer,) or the processor(Expensive and labour-intensive answer). Or the OS if you have Vista(Annoying answer), especially if it isn't SP1.

 

Sorry to hear about your brother, I wish him well and hope he gets better soon. :)

 

As for getting more than half an hour, say your doing schoolwork, change he settings of the games so their in a window, minimize the internet window, game or whatever it is your using and replace it with a window related to what you say your working on.

That always works.

Especially if you get caught.

Then try using that excuse again.

 

ever.

But then again, what do I know?
