Hello to you all!
This isn't a blog about me talking about clop, just to make sure about it. It is more something quite interesting, as well as a tad infuriating I noticed.
Seriously, if it's an ad that's telling you to go to some scam site to play a paid game for "free" that shows up again, I'm just gonna turn Adblock back on.
The ads aren't even good.
Like seriously, there's this one "Minecraft" ad that had the small text in the corner saying that the download of this weird app was required, and not only that, but the ad itself showed a CREEPER DRAGON.
So, a few days ago, the PrimeMinister of Sweden went to the hospital after comming home from Africa. Free ride there and he didn't have to wait for the usual 5-10 hours to get help.
It didn't stop there, a doctor was even waiting for him at the hospital, a doctor which most likely would've been extremly busy helping others otherwise. Even better, there's less staff at the hospital during summer, which makes the workers workload quite--large.
Hey everyone,
So, I don't know how many of you saw my blog post from yesterday. I want to apologize for being so angry and dramatic about what happened and I shouldn't have gotten so worked up about it. I'm not going to incorporate what happened in my personal life into a story. But I will explain what happened to those of you who want to know:
IN WHICH I AM SICK
So I've been achy for the last couple of days and have had trouble breathing. I rarely get sick, so this is unusual. It's also unusual because I'm a hypochondriac who actively avoids areas with lots of people, so I'm not sure where I got infected. I blame the fact that classes have just started here – I live in a college town with a lot of out-of-state kids and my home is next to an elementary school; both groups are massive disease vectors.
Warning: Ranty rant is ranty.
For the rest of you not caring to hear me whine, here's a picture of Vinyl Scratch in her full, immaculate glory that's been going around Derpybooru lately.
So lately, I've been feeling... I don't know. Sad or depressed doesn't really describe it.
I guess dissappointed is correct. Mostly in myself.
I was looking through my computer, specifically, my Google Drive, when, in the far back corners of all my folders, I stumbled across a chapter for a little story called Reborn.
IN WHICH I ACTUALLY RAMBLE
It's nearly four in the morning here in my little home in the Ozarks. I've been listening to a wide variety of music ranging from K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's to acapella covers of Dolly Parton songs to Sakura Gakuin. Hey, when you're a crappy former musician like me, you learn to appreciate almost everything. Speaking of songs…
On Microtransactions
With AAA game publishers reporting record profits from microtransactions and researching ways to further implement them, I came to a realization tonight: they wouldn't be looking for even more ways to nickel-and-dime us if players weren't whipping their credit cards out, ready to be nickel-and-dimed.
So, thanks everyone who buys into MTX. You're the ones ruining AAA gaming, not the publishers.
On Cryptocurrency Miners
You know that thing where someone posts about something and then there's a lengthy back-and-forth in the comments that long exceeds your attention span before you can decide how you feel about it?
Yeah, that happened to me just now.
Okay, even as I write this I'm thinking of all sorts of reasons and advocate responses to what I'm about to talk about.
IN WHICH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
For the last three weeks, Sunset Shimmer Buys A Burrito has been sitting at 99 net-upvotes (103 up, 4 down). I promised myself I'd write a blogpost once it got that hundredth net upvote, but it never came. Until today. So this is my little way of marking a milestone for a story I feel really deserves it. Thank you so much, everyone!
So, I was reading russian translation of I.D. - That Indestructible Something, and while I enjoyed translation just as much as I did enjoyed original - something started to bug me closer to the end. What exactly? Well, see: we (I mean Chatoyance, PeachClover, me,
Such blatant misinformation is being spread via this article. While yes it does state that Colleen will not be voicing Tails in Sonic Prime it then goes on to claim she’s stopped voicing him, something that is clearly not true.
I put in my story for approval like... 6-8 hours ago and still nothing. At first I was like "ok no big deal". Then I come back 4 hours later and go to check the 'recently approved' stories to see that they have not approved any stories since I put my story up for approval. I was like "Are all the mods and story approvers gone?" I went to the staff page to see that some have been on recently and some were currently on. I was like 'ok this is odd, they should have at least approved a few." Anyway
There's this really weird martyr complex from the political left that keeps telling people to fight for change even when it's objectively impossible. They're constantly telling people to fight like machines and deride those who surrender from exhaustion. It's a genuinely sick obedience mentality that they constantly call out the authoritarian right for, so it's pretty hypocritical when you actually stop and look at it objectively. If you need proof neither side is morally or ethically good,
Enough said, I mean seriously. When did internet speeds take a huge dump on spinning fan? It seems all of this year everyone and their dog is having internet problems. I wish I lived in America, I heard a rumor that they get more than 15 mbps? That sounds like a dream.
Fimfiction's emphasis on the frontpage as the primary means of story propagation is the biggest shortcoming for what is obviously meant to be a social fanfiction site. All that nonsense about the feature box and popular stories columns, which have obvious self-sustaining amplifying effects. This heavily biases visibility towards ultra-long-runners, (which keep slowly rolling until they finally hit it off) comedic oneshots, (which amass followers, which get a new story into the
