Just remembered…
Almost 3 years ago, I promised (threatened perhaps?) something
No, the threat was not “Merry Christmas”, it was the other stuff I talk about in the post.
At the time I was planning on reviewing some stuff.
Honestly, can’t even recall what all the things were.
One of them was a cheap fountain pen, but then I decided that my handwriting was too ugly to show.
So, recently I grabbed another bunch of crap off ebay and assorted chinese websites and felt like it would be nice to fulfill my old promise (or threat, whichever fits better).
Better late than never.
I’ll probably start with reviewing a couple of flashlights. (one of them probably from the 2014 batch of stuff that originated the whole idea of posting some reviews)
Well, let’s see if I finish these posts faster than the ones I have had on the drafts for the last 3 months.
Anyway, see you next post.
It’s the little details
…that always get you.
So, since I changed to a non-free webhost I’ve been doing a little housekeeping on the site (for example, moving WEBMs hosted elsewhere to the server).
Sudden urge to write
So a few days ago I had a sudden urge to write (and a decent creative mood). Rare thing.
Typed some 9001 words (oh look, another overused Dragon Ball Z joke) on the computer and wrote 6 A5 pages by hand (that unfortunately don’t have an easy way to do word count) in 2 days, which for me is a shitload of writing.
Strangely, none were for the five posts that I still have in my wordpress drafts that have sat there for over a month.
(230 words)
Quick post: The Forest
Am I the only one who, while playing The Forest, every now and then just as he grabs two logs goes:
You’re Ahnold Schwarzenegger on steroids in…The Forest!
Why?
Because of this obviously:
*imagine there’s a youtube video here*
There isn’t because FOX goes overkill and issues a world ban on their content on youtube it seems.
Even a 40 second clip of Commando (1985, with Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a threat to their plan of world domination, or their meagre profits…or something.
If you’ve watched that film, you know fully well the clip I’m referring to as it’s the only scene that involves Arnold carrying a log, if you haven’t watched it, it’s Arnold carrying a log on his shoulder…much like the main char in The Forest, except the The Forest char does two logs at a time. Hence “Ahnold on steroids”.
But isn’t “Ahnold on steroids” just the normal Arnold?
I almost confuse myself.
Remember…
Remember kids, don’t just copy and paste code/wordpress tags from somewhere, more often than not it has typos and/or replaced characters.
Case in point: <!–nextpage–>
Spent over 30 minutes around the darn thing yesterday, until I just said “Fuck it!”, just to figure out that, I’ll hazard a guess, the post editor of the website I copied the darn tag from had replaced characters…by other characters that (if you’re distracted, not really thinking about it or near-sighted) look exactly the same.
Rosetta stone, part 2
So, sometime ago I posted about how I was playing around with Rosetta stone to expand my Japanese knowledge. (knowledge…right…)
I dropped it for a while, but today, since I had nothing better to do, I double clicked it and had another go at it.
And BAM! just stumbled into a great example of the whole “it might be good for a baby, but I’m not a baby”.
Posted in My Rants
Tagged I feel like writing so here you go, random rant, small aside
Leave a comment
And that’s all.
For now at least I won’t post any more VN/eroge rants. (honestly, reflects badly on my online persona)
And that makes me be completely out of topics to write about!
All my game development projects were stopped two or three years ago.
Video game rants need some analytical talent and writing skills.
Then again, so do VN rants and that hasn’t stopped me.
Anyway, my online persona is important to me, hence I don’t want people to think I spend all my time drowned in VNs/eroges when I rarely play them, except every couple of years when I play four or five in a quick burst during my free time.
So here I was…
…random VN in front of me, ready to be played for a random rant later; small A6 notepad on the desk and a blue roller pen hanging from my lips (so…everything as usual)
And a thought occurs: “Oh, this VN caused a good first impression and seems to be a genre that I like! Let me write that down.”
