  1. Well, this was disappointing. I was expecting this to be a great day, and it was ruined by feeling more pressure.

    Thankfully, there was still some good that happened before that, so I can at least relax.

  2. I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Mine was okay, but nothing to write home about.

      Well, at least it was expensive? xD A kawaii neko eh?

      I went for a meh neko too! For my Avi that is xD

      Not exactly kawaii. I looked like a drowned rat in it.

      That sounds even funnier, though it might not have seemed that way.

  3. Man, it has been a busy week this week. Luckily, things should be much lighter the week of my birthday.

      Yeah, mine too. It’s just too bad people cannot understand that there is nothing wrong with me because I do not like being around people much. Oh well, there are a lot of things people do not realize about others. Thank goodness the Internet was invented.

      Truth. The internet has always been my most reliable form of social interaction. It just makes it so much easier to connect with people who understand you, because you can find them anywhere in the world! And I don't have to be overstimulated by having a lot of people around me. 

  4. Yes! After making some changes, my app has finally been accepted for sale.

    If you guys want to check it out, here is a link.

    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cc-verify/id1438705119?mt=8

    This app is iOS only right now. I might make a version for Android, as I already paid the fee for that years ago, but it has been a while since I programmed in Java and I do not want to bother with Kotlin while my class on Swift is still going on (not to mention I hate how Google makes things hard for worldwide releases, due to having to manually entering prices).

      @ArchieKun Thanks. I think it looks better than the one for the Desktop version. Of course, that may be because the original icon had a gray background, and I changed it to black.

    3. Geano

      Geano

      Well you can always adjust it however you need with GIMP, or PS too.

    4. brycec

      brycec

      That's true. Only annoying part is I need to look up having to deals with alphas when making icons. Apple complains about them being present when I submit to their App store, and I have to use Apple Preview to get them out. I am pretty sure GIMP and PS should have that capability, but I wish Apple was not so anal about it.

      Oh well, I guess the convenience of having them automatically set prices based on the one I specify for the US market is better than being forced to make changes myself.

  5. Decided to try out prototyping an app in Adobe XD. Not liking how Apple put together some of the assets (cannot delete some unnecessary elements that might cause confusion), but It should not be too much trouble when it is time to create the project.

      I think it is honestly funny that they are still considering print at this point. I mean so much has gone electronic even mags so ya. Though there is something just nice about holding a book in your hands.

    3. brycec

      brycec

      Yeah, it is funny, though InDesign, their program for print design can do ebooks too. Have not tried it, as Mac and Linux have everything you need to put an ePub together out-of-the book. The only annoying thing about the digital revolution is how the publishers want DRM so much.

    4. Geano

      Geano

      DRM is less common now then a few years ago at least in the case of movies music and games. Though a few years ago it stormed the pc gaming industry causing so many complaints as well as issues.

  6. Watched a great episode of South Park that was poking fun of cable companies and parental controls being used for good intentions.

    It really did a good job at showing why my generation prefers streaming stuff.

  7. Decided to do New Game+ Of Trails in the Sky and I made it to the final dungeon in only 24 or so hours of playtime, including side quests and defeating the lieutenant in Grancel Castle.

      That’s true, as I did remember what I needed to do, though defeating Lieutenant Lorence on this go around was the first time I beat him.

      So far, it is better, but I do not yet if it will stay that way. That's good your are liking it. I remember back in college I had to evaluate different platforms and talk about their usefulness and stuff, and the teacher said that my analysis was quite in-depth.

      i see! maybe you could give zoop and cy~ some feedback if you have time : )

      I gave zoop some feedback on the things I could notice quickly, like adding descriptions (a few things are not too obvious) and possibly changing what is emphasized in site rules, but for everything else I would have to join, since Lamia is not available for download, which is good and bad.

  9. Apparently I am getting promoted to a mod in a community by a head mod. Did not think it would be happen, since I have only been a mod twice

      I did not do much as a mod in the two previous community, as one was hardly active and I put up Sherlock activity. The other one was even less, and it was a forum dealing with a platform I used to run.

  10. Not looking forward to today’s trip.

    My only hope is that the organization I have grown to dislike does not ask me for help with their ceremony this weekend.

  11. Nice to see everything is back. How have you guys been?

      In case something like this happens again, we should probably establish some way of contact. Do not really care much for Skype, but I am on a few social networks (kind of prefer G+, Gab, and Minds). Anyway, thanks for the follow, Rye.

      I am glad you missed us. I am some bit of a good following in Detective Conan community, though nothing major, so you try using that route to find me or asking me via PM how you would like to connect if you cannot find me easily.

  12. Did pumpkin carving yesterday, and this was the one I made. Sadly, I did not get it with the light going.

      Ehh? Okay then. I can put it on my head and wear a suit to dress up as the headless someone someone. And @brycec-san the pumpkin looks amazing! Once when i tried to carve a pumpkin I ended up making horribly misshapen eyes and a mouth which looked creepier than your creepy neighbor next door!

  13. So glad that I finally get to have a few days break. Was not too sure if I could deal with the latest release Boku Dake ga Inai Machi from Yen Press and the delayed viewing of The Ancient Magus Bride.

      Not too sure how, but my brother thinks it would be fun to get wolverine claws and fight one claw to claw. Who knows though. Would be funny to do what Izumi Curtis did to a bear at Briggs.

      Ohhhhhh, a wolverine? I know those guys are pretty cute but still. Fighting claw to claw is still scary xD 

    4. brycec

      No doubt about that. I might end dead either way, if I went through it. Fortunately, there are not any bears in my immediate area.

      true, but when i saw it, i instantly thought of "non-habitable by people", thus "rural", though i guess my way of thinking is kind of wrong, seeing as, rural does NOT mean people cant live in it,

      im probably braindead still to even think rural and uninhabitable are the same thing <.>

      I see. That makes sense.

  16. Can be quite frustrating when family does not realize how much trouble it is to give access to things to family not under the same roof. Detecting cracks can be difficult with more people and set ups that are bad.

      I had the same problem with one of my own online accounts.  I finally had to be the grinch and change my password because they just wouldn't acknowledge the problem they were causing and cooperate on a solution. 

      Then I had my account locked a couple times because of too many consecutive login failures.  :( Eventually they gave up and I got my account back but... jeez.

      Glad I am not the only one with this issue. It would certainly be much easier if they respected my answer of no. Of course, it is either give in, or try to be convinced. 

  17. Got Dragon Ball Fighterz today, and I am glad it was easy enough to controller with the dual shock 4.

    Sadly, I wish controls set up was more similar to DBZ Budokai 3, instead of having the set up it does.

      Hopefully so, but I have heard it is basically Sony giving the trouble. Either it is cross platform play between only PC and PS4, or none at all.

      I see either way sounds a fair bit annoying.

  18. I finally got to the final chapter of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. Kind of wish I had Khloe in my team right now though.

      I am still on the first game. I wanted Khloe because she has better healing than what I have access to, as I am stuff at HP 2 on water type. As of now, I am in Grancel castle and talked to the queen.

      As for checking out zero, thanks for the suggestion, though I am playing it while waiting for DQ 11.

      It's probably worth investing in putting both HP 2 and Mind 2 or Heal on your main healer, just to get them up to Tearal/La Teara. We normally dedicate one entire line of Estele to healing Quartz, but it's up to your play style. We've seen Estele played hyper aggressive with Attack, Evade, Hit, Deathstrike 1, Action, and Move.

      This isn't a spoiler, but it's a particularly broken thing that you can do, so if you want to remain pure, it might be best to avoid it.

       

      Have you experienced the joys of Chaos Brand? It's a 10 EP Art that requires 5 Mirage quarts (generally Information + EP 2 or EP 1 + Hit 1in the early game). It has a 100% chance of confusion. Confusion is absolutely busted, because not only does it effectively neutralise a target, it makes them fight for you.


      Chaos Brand as an art is quite amusing to look at throughout the Trails series because it just constantly gets nerfed every single game by making it cost more EP, making it require more Quartz, making more enemies immune to it, and eventually they had to completely change the effect of it and then remove it entirely because it's impossible to balance. In FC though you can play almost the entire game just casting Chaos Brand and healing spells.

    4. brycec

      I have Estele with one of each type, except time, and earth type has poison and defense 2, so my current team has pretty good defense.

      Right now, I am trying to upgrade slots.

      As for Choas Brand, I never heard of it I have been spamming stone impact, Ariel, and White Gehanna (or whatever it is called).

      Thanks for the tips.

      I don't usually torrent. I usually get things legally. I had a few in mind like Wolf's Rain and something on Hulu that seemed like it might be good, but I would have to check. I will wait a bit later in the month, since there were books and manga I wanted to try, and I bought all of them (there were only two normal books and the rest were manga).

      Family is not getting along, and there is a possibility divorce. Worst thing was I got yelled at over something extremely minor, because of the problem the person was having leading to the possibility of divorce, and it hurt me enough that I was not in the mood to do what I wanted, as well as wish that my big sister were here.

      brycec

      Thanks of the kind words. The person that yelled at me did apologize for the outburst, but I continued to feel not quite right, especially earlier today.

      I did try playing a game with them today, and even though the uneasiness did go down afterwards, I was having second thoughts, wondering if they would snap at me again.

      Thanks. My family is getting on my case about how I only gave my BIL a dollar as a gift, but I was strapped for cash at the time and I need to spend money to maintain my blog, which I need to do so that people have reason to donate to me. I am not in as dire straights now, but it still irks me.

      I would do that, if I remembered what day his birthday was, since I remember my sister's and brother's more. The case was with my mother, who thinks I am too greedy, even though she knows that I am now doing something that costs money to earn money. I certainly agree that the thought matters more and wish I could give more freely without these stupid guilt trips.
