Daleks aren't robots you philistines.

Yes but he might have been a robot impersonating a Dalek.

Speaking of Daleks, I finally got passes to San Diego Comic Con. For the first time, I can actually go inside the convention instead of loitering around outside wishing I could spend hundreds of dollars in the vendor hall.

Also I hear there are talks and autographs and such? Weird.

It was nice meeting you, Ashley.

Tip I have always heard is, if you don't have your heart set on an item, wait until the last day. If they still have stock you will likely get it at a discount.

If you really really really want something though then you should buy it at full price, because odds on other people want it as well...

I learned my lesson at E3 last year when the jacket I bought went on sale for 50% off the next day. :|

SDCC exclusives are slightly less of a Thing than they have been in the past, but sadly those are still what I -- and All Others -- want. If nothing else, they're good investments since they sell for 2-3x purchase price after the con (assuming that the company didn't say "Exclusive" and mean "you can buy it first but we're totally going to sell it online").

I just went to the dentist for the first time in ten years and somehow they found nothing wrong with me. Today was a good day.

Now try the same with a shrink.

Cid is fine.

I think this is the first time I have a computer with a non-integrated graphics card. It's a strange feeling.

<Snow> I CAN SEE FOREVER

No wonder you thought Silent Hill 2 wasn't that great. Everything had similar draw distances in the past.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #87 on:** March 27, 2015, 10:54:30 AM »

Also, all the textures were rendered like glitched pixel art.

Grefter · « **Reply #88 on:** March 27, 2015, 10:56:13 AM »

That must have made porn games very confusing.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #89 on:** March 27, 2015, 11:00:03 AM »

They're usually glitch pixel art to begin with.

Silly Super, I know exactly what's wrong with me in that regard. There's a queue.

Summoned up the courage to go in to clean up and toss out an obsolete Fakebook account. Glad to have that done knowing it won't rise up and bite me in the ass down the line. Amazingly, remembered the password despite having not accessed it in years.

Also amusing, shopping for a cosplay wig. One set of search terms generated 20,000 matches. Add "fair trade" to the same keywords and the matches drop to zero. Guess that stuff is made by Chinese slave labor.

Lady Door · « **Reply #92 on:** March 30, 2015, 01:31:35 AM »

Have you made wigs before? Those things are a bitch. They'd cost a heck of a lot more if people were paid fair wages to do it.

Go go capitalism!

DragonKnight Zero · « **Reply #93 on:** March 31, 2015, 07:48:08 AM »

No I haven't. Curiously, the matches I looked at (before and after narrowing the search terms) all come from China with no representation from other countries. Looked through around 20-30 vendors before I found something that suits my purposes.

Anyhow, while I prefer to support fair trade and organic when I can and remember to, it appears impractical in this instance.

I have another thing published and for some reason my papers always come out on April 1st.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #95 on:** April 05, 2015, 09:52:01 PM »

And hilariously, I had an acceptance for a paper come back on April 1st. The editor at the end of the email even added the phrase, "While the date of this acceptance letter might cause you some concern as to its validity, rest assured, we have accepted your paper".

superaielman · « **Reply #96 on:** April 10, 2015, 12:41:07 PM »

Starting new job today, then two days off after. Life is good.

I wake up today, the first news I see is Star Ocean 5 in development.

My reaction: "NOOOOOO!!!!"

Captain K · « **Reply #98 on:** April 14, 2015, 10:28:05 PM »

I would be excited but I'm sure it's for a system I'm not getting.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #99 on:** April 15, 2015, 12:51:34 AM »

Wow, seems like not EVERY DL series is dead yet.

Why the reaction? SO4 wasn't that bad (gameplay wise anyway).
