Until I'm either in the mind state or work or I collapse from exhaustion, I'll probably just hang out here and talk. I'd normally want to talk to Ailyn, but I don't want to wake her up; I did initially try to wake her due to the fact that she might've been able to help prevent the PC messing up but she didn't seem to hear the call and it's too late now, so...

I'm sorry I missed the call, I don't know why neither Skype on my phone nor Skype on my PC made any sound -.- Technology (especially Skype) is stupid.

@Ailyn Evensen
It is very stupid and people don't care all that much about it, they make it dumber and less prone to working so they can "hire" people to fix what isn't broken just for the extra cash. Anything Microsoft lately has been that way, skype is one of the bigger things about it that's broken.

Don't even get me started on how they have Wandoze 10, dear mother of god.

@CrazyShadowy

Lol, and here I have no complaints with 10. xD Then again, I had them delay the installation of the anniversary edition on my computer, so I don't know if that opinion stays the same afterward.

Well, I only got about two hours of sleep but at least I'm up and around...

@Ailyn Evensen
It's not your fault that Skype didn't work; no need to apologize.

@CrazyShadowy
Windows 10 annoys me, but I don't have a major problem with Windows 7.

@Shoryu Magami
7 and XP were the best they made, I'll give them that. The direction they're going now is shit and I have so many things against them, fucking left them 11 months ago and it was the best choice I've ever made yet.

@Ailyn Evensen
Glad you've not had problems with it, I've heard of many and dealt with plenty. Not all of them were involving taking back the privacy for the owner of the computer either. That was a problem as well.

>have a neutral debate about a RP's game mechanic
>another player jumps in and claims I'm being passive aggressive, inflammatory, and attacking others
>continues to tell people to "stop fighting, kiddies" like that isnt condescending and hypocritical rhetoric

Yeah, what a wonderful afternoon.

@Ailyn Evensen *waves at* Heylo there! I've heard a bit about you -- all of it good. ^.^ Is that Nina in your avatar? She looks really familiar....

@CrazyShadowy@Shoryu Magami XP pro was good until an upgrade made one of my favorite games not work anymore. I have Win7 and it's solid. Win10...dear gods, Win10. T.T IT ASSAULTED MY COMPUTER! It forcibly updated me. The last day of a trip, when I had to be up at like 4am to catch a train downtown to the bus station. I'm still really angry with Microsoft.

I grew up using a Mac. There's some things they can't do -- and nowadays they're not nearly so hard to mess up as they used to be, compared to PCs -- but wow those graphics. <3 Myst on my Mac vs. on my bestie's PC was so very much better.

@shylarah Hiya! Yeah, that's Nina, from Monster. She's still kind of a work in progress avi. Got some more editing that needs to be done to make her look right for me. :3

@Ailyn Evensen oh gods such a good anime. <3

Back then when Microsoft was awesome for making XP and 7... and now trolling us with 10. >__>

Not like Apple is any better, either. Well, competition is fierce and they are too fixated trying to get their profitable gain float on top of all their opponents to care about the (petty but important) complains from consumers to actually improve their products rather than in a hurry to roll out new (but defective) stuff every year.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just a heads up for everyone; for whatever reason my phone is currently incapable of accessing the internet from my modem despite everything else in the house having no problem with it, so all attempts to contact me through Skype will fail until I find a solution to that.

@shylarah
Indeed it is a great anime; in fact it's the only piece of fiction I've ever seen that was completely one hundred percent realistic yet still held my interest. I usually disdain fighting systems that are completely realistic because I find guns rather boring and fist fighting has a limit; in my own setting I combine the heavily realistic characterization you would expect to see in that series with very complex paranormal combat, essentially. Nevertheless, yeah, Naoki Urasawa's Monster is up there with my top five series of all time.

The avatar is essentially being modified to look like @Ailyn Evensen's primary character; they were visually similar to an extent so it's mostly a matter of messing around with the colour scheme.

@tsukune "back then" is considerably earlier than XP. Like, pre '95, even. I remember playing computer games as a toddler. I loved Spelunx and Manhole and Amanda Stories. And Kid Pix!

@Gowi
More drama, ey?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is nothing against you personally, but after a previous thread that particular emote will probably always have a negative implication to me. I don't know how many people use it, on the other hand.

@shylarah
Considering you just said "Amanda Stories", @Ailyn Evensen will find that amusing; her real name is Amanda.

@Shoryu Magami Amanda is a cat. ^.^; The one in the game, that is. I dunno about Ailyn.

@shylarah
I'd never heard of Amanda Stories before, but I was mostly pointing out the coincidence. Make nothing of it, really.

Anyway, I guess we'll see if I can get my phone to access the modem again; it can't anymore for whatever reason.

@Shoryu Magami Amanda is a cat. ^.^; The one in the game, that is. I dunno about Ailyn.

Lol, I like to think I'm a cat sometimes.

Alright, I think I've solved the phone issue. With that done, I need to make up for the five or so hours of lost time.

@Shoryu Magami
Oops, sorry. I wasn't aware that you have a bad history with that emoji. I'll refrain from using it with you. ^^;
(I use emoji at times because I have Japanese friends, and well... they love their emojis.)

@shylarah
Win '95. One of the most important OS ever created in human's history. XD

@tsukune
No problem. I knew you probably weren't aware it could've irritated me. I'm almost always used to that being used as a closeted attempt to be snarky and passive aggressive, but with you I assumed it wasn't the case considering there was neither a debate here nor any other context that would make such an action appropriate. I was more making an observation rather than criticizing you.

Hey, Shoryu and company!

How are you guys doing today?
