The premier was just on Sunday and they put out a second episode already? I missed it…
God damnit, someone surely hates me over at Bethesda/Zenimax. They send me a elder scrolls online beta invite, on the exact days I will be in comic con. :’(
I got one of those too. Kinda annoying, although I haven’t been following TESO very much. I guess everyone just expects it to flop.
almost 6am again
why cant i just go to bed at a normal time
every god damn time
pffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffffff
My upstairs neighbours seem to not realise that they live in a flat with poor soundproofing, nor that some people want to sleep at night.
They also really, really like football.
le doing math homework while listening to japanese death metal (because that’s how I fuckin’ roll)
first question:
x^3+4x^2+5s+20= [answer]
Helptext for the equation shows how to work a problem that has THREE terms, not FOUR. Additionally not helping is that it only has one similar exercise, which works out to the term being Prime and thus unsolvable. The equation above HAS a solution, but bugger all if it will teach me how to reach it, like the program is supposedly able to do.
FUCK YOU, MY MATH LAB, YOU FUCKING SUCK AND MAKE MY LIFE HELL. God FORBID we do our homework on paper with a textbook, so I don’t have to deal with your laggy as SHIT interface, obfuscating instructions, and nitpicky as fuck bullshitting cocks ass URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH incoherent expletives
Oh, and it gets fucking better. Clicking “Help Me Solve This” pops up with a FUCKING error window asking me to ask my instructor for help. ARGH!
IDE > “my programming lab”
Hell, Notepad++ >
i remember those kinds of equations being super easy, tbh
wouldnt immediately know how to start atm tho
Notepad++ is infinitely better, yes, but curriculum mandates we do exercises on that piece of shit instead.
k3nny, I feel your pain. I FEELS IT.
Why don’t you do your work in Notepad++ and copy the answer over? 
Furthermore, why in the name of fuck are they using that software instead of being an actual person and checking the god damned thing.
Youtube’s “guide” button popping up every fucking time I log into the website and/or change pages is starting to get on my nerves.
Because my college prides itself on being “green?” I think my teacher said it was because the curriculum mandated it because it came with the textbook or some shit.
But yeah, it sucks big fat donkey balls.
Meh, “My Math Lab” and the like are simply scams that the school uses to pull more money out of you. I think it’s bullshit.
The thing that made me love programming so much is that there was A LOT of ways you could take to find a solution to a problem. I don’t like having my options limited when it comes to solving a problem. That’s something that has always irked me about math, it was too linear. In the programming classes I took I had complete creative freedom (to a certain extent) there was no ONE solution to the problem and it allowed me to think WAY outside the box with the knowledge I had at the time. That’s what I enjoy.
Edit: As a matter of fact, that was one of the main reasons I played Diablo II so commonly when I PvP’d. The build I had was unusual, and surprisingly it worked quite effectively. The summoner I had on USEast near the end of my tenure before it got stale was nearly impossible to kill, even for those loan hackers who used injectors for their clients. The only thing that would eliminate my build would have been a 5v1 (my teammate was usually useless and the buff character I used to help when I was within range) or an assassin who knew how to effectively mindblast.
By the time I decided to quit because it got stale I had formulated a build that would have made my necromancer impossible to kill. period.
why does any software with any success always get worse over time
they add “features” but remove functionality
they make things more “convenient” but make it less transparent
they add “options” but make them intrusive
really, i dunno
I feel AutoCAD has gotten better with every iteration (yes, even 2010 had a classic setting that made it better than previous versions).
Software that’s strictly intended for professional use seems to be the exception, unsurprisingly.
edit: i hate that “twerk” is actually a word, especially one that is apparently common knowledge by now
One of my homeplugs died today. Not three weeks after the one-year warranty expired. The timing seems a little too perfect to be coincidental. Last time I ever buy D-Link.
Now I’m back to wireless. The router is on the next story and the opposite side of the building. I have two bars. It’s like 1998 all over again in here.
At least it died during Black Friday week so I can get a new pair for cheap.
Also, I was playing System Shock 2 yesterday. I got a few hours in, only using the quick-save function. Then I reached an area where I hadn’t yet found a resurrection station and got offed by a laser turret or something. “Load last save.” Huh… I’m back in the fucking training room. None of my quicksaves appear to be anywhere.
EDIT: D-Link just sent me a “Happy Thanksgiving” email. What perfect assholes.
Also, my goddamn wireless adapter is causing system hiccups, making my computer unusable. I’m sure a driver update would help, but ASUS’s page for my specific adapter is down. All the other pages in their “wireless adapters” section load fine. Just the page for my specific adapter that’s down, because fuck me.
Super fucking steamed. I mean, I’m rather calm now, but this is more in terms of long term implications.
Basically, no one really seems to care about letting me have time to write for National Novel Writing Month and keep trying to divert me to other things. My girlfriend even went so far as to say that my book was “silly” (WITHOUT having read it, by the way) and that I should have waited until next year. She is equally dismissive about virtually every thing I’m interested in.
Would it kill people to be fucking supportive? Like, at all? I have to knock dead almost 8k words per day to finish on time at this rate, and I’ve tried really, really hard to write at any available opportunity. And everyone just says “go do something else.” Is it so hard to understand that, if I want to be a writer, I have to write, and if I want to make money at writing, I have to write well, and NaNoWriMo is important practice for both things? Come the fuck on.
My advice: either talk to your girlfriend and make it clear you need her support, or break up. Having a girlfriend that seems completely disinterested, dismissive, maybe even resentful, of who you are is very harmful to the ego.
