A bit random, but am I remembering correctly that somebody on here worked on VA-11 Hall-A or some kind of CD graphic layout for it?

I finally got around to playing through it after buying it during the steam winter sale. Good stuff.

I believe that was Kraus... right, guys? o3o

[Nichi]

That sounds like Kraus, yeah.

So, I'm waiting for Kari to finally turn up again, so we can iron out some details on my trip. I'm starting to think just doing the con on Sunday might be the best option at this point, but she hasn't been around to talk in a few days; last I heard was to wait on the hotel, but if we don't make a decision by tomorrow, I can't get my discount and it'll be even more expensive for us to do this. If she waits too much longer, Sunday will be the only cost-effective option left for us to go to the con; which I would personally prefer over skipping it entirely, so we could squeeze in more stuff during my trip and still have a reason to wear the cosplay I prepared.

Yup! That was me who designed up some physical media stuff for VA-11 HALL-A just before it released! Even scrounged together a full 3 sets and sent them off to the team.

Nice ^^

So, we decided to do the con on all 3 days, so the hotel and con passes are finally booked. All that's left is to mail my trade box to Kari, and iron out a few last-minute details

Small server shortage today, nothing to be worried upon. It's fixed.


















   ... ok i screwed up some config and didn't notice it ~.~

Thank you Fedora-Tan!

Life has been pretty busy on my end. I've been pretty successful in not letting school take over my life but enforcing free time has come at the cost of doing worse in school. :/

Well clearly the answer is to devote 100% of your time to your studies, forgoing food, sleep, exercise, socialisation, everything in the name of the almighty GPA.

So, in a few hours, I'm going back home. I forgot to even post mentioning I was already on my trip, but oh well.

The con itself was amazing, although everyone in my group has come to the conclusion that "Monday never happened"; due to problems with certain people and the fact we didn't accomplish anything. I'm hoping maybe we can do this again next year; we could plan it out better and iron out some of the quirks (Better hotel, maybe closer to the T, maybe have Bella join us, etc.)

So Willow was diagnosed with diabetes on saturday, and Scooby was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism today.  What a week.

That sucks :[

I'm no longer employed at Pizza Hut, as of writing this. When I returned from my trip, I found that they gave the store to this barely-qualified kid that loved to talk down on me and treat me like a new employee in spire of my nearly 5 years of experience, cut my hours back so far that I simply wouldn't be able to survive, on top of us not seeing eye-to-eye on how the store should be run, and the assistant manager (The only good person on management left in that dump) turning in his resignation.

The last straw was him throwing a fit about me being early for my shift. You didn't misread that; he was angry at me for being early for my shift. At that point, I had enough and left there for good. I may be unemployed, but I am glad I got off that sinking ship...though I need to find a new job before the end of May, since I've budgeted myself to make it last until then (I have enough in savings so I can bail out of here and start my life over up north, though I hope to only have to do that as a last resort)

[LeaflameSD]

Better to go out with dignity, right?

[Nichi]

I guess, although things are pretty quickly going to shit as a result of my decision, even if I wouldn't be much better off had I stayed.

2kME is trying to give out on me...and I don't have the money necessary to make the revised edition happen, even if I have a majority of the pieces needed; since, no matter what I do, I have to buy a new keyboard because of a lack of PS/2 ports. So, that, on top of being unemployed, nearly broke, slowly reaching a point where I'll be forced to purge large chunks of my game collection just to get the money to survive, and feeling like everything is closing in around me due to a lack of an escape plan and the one person that plays a critical role in that hypothetical escape plan is barely online as of late...yeah; the past few weeks have been godawful.

I did get a job interview earlier in the week, but I haven't heard back yet, it's basically at the edge of the cut-off for hearing back, and anxiety sets in as I wonder if I said something wrong in the interview and gave off a bad impression because of how jaded I am because of so many shitty ex-bosses at pretty much every job I've ever had, and will likely continue to have for however many years I've been damned to stay in this place.

EDIT: Yaay everything's going directly to hell

- Call back from employer; basically saying "thanks but no thanks", making me feel like maybe I said something wrong during the interview that fucked myself over.

- I start to tear down 2k V1.7 to merge with the current 2k...but, the motherboard uses a proprietary power button wiring because it's a Dell, and fuck Dell for having so many fucking proprietary plugs like they're Apple or something, and of course my power supply is too big to fit in this case properly, so I just wasted $10 on a 2nd gen i3 desktop I can't even use because fuck Dell. I wasted $8 I shouldn't have spent to get a USB keyboard, only to find this out >>;

- The current 2k is so flaky that it can barely play MP3s in VLC under a normal work load without sputtering and skipping. I'm just stuck with this until it finally dies, and then I'm fucked again.

[LeaflameSD]

not much i can say, really
life just sucks
an amalgamation of problems just eats me up like a leviathan
guess its karma, lol

[Nichi]

So, I might possibly, hopefully, have a job soon. Which, when I do, I'm starting to plan out what I want to do first after I get bills caught up. So far, I know I plan to save money for the convention next year (Plus plan out a cosplay I'd like to do), and either build a new desktop or buy something off the shelf to tide me over until it's viable for me to build 2k-mk2.

Stay strong, Swag.

And Pent, I hope you get the job!
