I really wanted him to start telling Anders about the old furry lobsters, space hobos, or the molemen.; March 15, 2009 at 1:45 PM
The_Jolly said...: Not my brightest moment. I've deleted the post. I would greatly appreciate you deleting the comment on this thread with her name as well.

I concede that sharing her name wasn't the brightest thing. I realize my error and am trying to correct it.

However, I have a bone to pick with you Jay. How "sensible" is it to post such a crude comparison while trying to make a point. I believe it would be much more "sensible" to just point out that it wasn't an intelligent thing to do. I don't even care if your polite about it.
However, when you make crude humor such as above you merely exacerbate the situation. Very Sensible.

I'm done posting here.; March 15, 2009 at 5:24 PM

I can understand people who don't know me being upset when I'm an asshole who says crude things. Some people are like that. My assumption when I meet such people is that we shan't hang out given their lack of a desire to be offended repeatedly.

But when someone with whom I went to undergrad takes offense at my being myself? When someone I lived with takes offense? That's simply confusing to me.

Which is not to say that you are wrong or that within my crudeness there lies some deeper meaning of truth. It's fine for you to be upset. It's just odd, as I think about it, for someone I've known for over four years to suddenly start being offended when I say the shit I say. My acting assumption is that people who repeatedly hang out with me have come to accept my being a crude ass.

I apologize if I offended you. But I'm still confused as to how this could have occured.; March 15, 2009 at 5:40 PM
_J_ said...: Also, what is the difference between biological cylons and biological humans? They seem to be mostly entirely similar.; March 15, 2009 at 6:19 PM
The_Jolly said...: Jay, yes I'm offended, but I'm also partially angry at my own stupidity.

I understand you are being yourself. I'm not entirely surprised that your comparison was made. I do expect such statements for you. The reason I get offended is to define boundaries for you.

There are certain things I will take offense at regardless of whether your behavior is expected or not. One of the things that will ALWAYS offend me is when someone insults people I care about. This goes for any person no matter how well I know them.

This is just part of me being myself just as saying crude things and being an asshole is you being you. This is just a time when you being yourself and me being myself clash and results in me being slightly cheesed off.; March 15, 2009 at 6:24 PM
_J_ said...: Well, that's fine and understandable. I know that people have lines and so I do not cross these lines if I wish to maintain their friendship. I did not know of this line with regard to you. So I can refrain from such actions in the future.

It's just "delete my post and take me off the blog zomg angry" does not communicate this sort of nuanced information. Which, again, is fine given that you are upset.

Also, If you live around Louisville I say you take her to Saffron's.

So, yeah, I'm sorry that I offended you. I love you, Jolly! hugs hugs!; March 15, 2009 at 6:31 PM
_J_ said...: Except while typing that message my omelet burnt. So now I hate you. And every bite of this burnt omelet will be a reminder of your irrational being upset and my irrational being an ass.; March 15, 2009 at 6:34 PM
_J_ said...: "I'm not entirely surprised that your comparison was made."

Also, for those of you following along at home, the "comparison" is that jolly's lady's initials are K.A.T. so she goes by "kat" to which I said, "Oh, so she goes by pussy?"

Because, you know, I'm 12.; March 15, 2009 at 6:36 PM
The_Jolly said...: I have this nasty, irrational behavior called overreaction.

Sorry for the burnage of the omelette!; March 15, 2009 at 6:39 PM

_J_ said...: I have an idea. Let's just sit quietly at our own computers and watch this week's episode of South Park.

You can overreact. I'll eat my burnt omelet. And it'll all be better.

Mike Lewis said...: on the difference between Bio-Humans and Bio-Cylons.

Bio-Cylons are genetically engineered clones. They are machines in only the most broad scene of the word. something about the way they were engineered lets them interact with machines in specific ways (ie they can put there hands into water on the Basestar ships and interact with the controls)

Otherwise they are exactly like bio-humans. I am sure, given enough time and a lack of jetlag i could come up with a more in depth more pointlessly nerdy answers.

This, of course is based on everything up to the last weekends answer, which i still have not watched because sarah is finishing the last draft of her thesis (which is due friday); March 16, 2009 at 6:28 AM
Unknown said...: Damn it! Is it really that hard to not have one's account hacked?; March 16, 2009 at 10:17 AM
Anonymous said...: @Kyle yes it is hard to not have your account hacked. At least when you always put your password in the global chat and say "hey look at me! I put my password (which is god) in the chat! Don't hack me I'd I will be sad!"

I think that is a thing people still do on the wow.; March 16, 2009 at 10:43 AM
Unknown said...: Wait, what? You mean people in WoW don't care about how awesome of a password I have chosen but instead will use it to hack my account? I just assumed they would admire my 1337 5ki115 at password creation.; March 16, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Mike Lewis said...: i know it is hard to believe kyle, but telling everyone how elite your password is is not is not always to most effective way of making friends on the internet. frenemies maybe but not friends.; March 16, 2009 at 1:03 PM

Also, I'm trying to figure out why so many shitty accounts get hacked while the geared people on the server maintain control over their own accounts with no problem.; March 16, 2009 at 3:59 PM
Unknown said...: I'm not even well geared, my account at this point is mostly shit, but I've been playing for over 5 years now, and my account has yet to ever be hacked.; March 16, 2009 at 5:33 PM

He just recontextualizes it and moves the goal posts.

MA17 said...: Star Ocean 4

You know how in the Power Rangers the character's faces are hidden by masks, and so in order to make it obvious who is talking, they jerk their heads around a lot and gesticulate far more than is normal?

Apparently when some people put on motion capture gear, and record motion data for a game such as, let's say, Star Ocean 4, they think "IT'S MORPHIN TIME" and when that's matched with underpowered facial animation, you wind up with King Friday as played by the fucking Red Ranger.

This is, I think, made much, much worse by how the gestures the actors make are "Japanese people" gestures. I'm not entirely sure what that means, and it may be my imagination, but I think there are "japanese people" gestures, at least in entertainment like this. It's like all Kabuki poses and Bunraku moves and shit, I don't know. Anyway, they're doing this stuff that, to me, looks like how entertainers in Japan would move, but then English words are coming out. English speakers, as a general rule, do not move like this, so the voice acting is automatically and hopelessly rendered awful.

And so the game is trying to tell a story, and I think I'm supposed to care about what's going on, but everything's just so wrong that whether people are happy, sad, or dead, it's all equally laughable.

Also, PA did a comic about how in Star Ocean 3 the character you control is ok, but then the AI party members get raped by lizard men, and this is a correct assessment of what happens in this game as well (during difficult fights, especially bosses). FFXII had a proper battle system, and I don't know why another Square-Enix game can't use it.

Furthermore, the game crashed about 8 times until I read on the internet to lower the output resolution and play the game off the HDD to cut down on that.

Star Ocean 4 gets a 4 out of a possible Star Ocean.; March 17, 2009 at 10:48 PM
_J_ said...: Goal Posts are for moving.

Also?

Jon Stewart: You take anti-biotics, you own an i-Pod.

John Oliver: Hold on. You're telling me that my God Pills and my magic song brick are science? No. Nice try.; March 18, 2009 at 1:12 AM
_J_ said...: "But isn't it part of Godwin's law that he who references Hitler/Nazis automatically loses?"

Not as I understand it. It's simply:

"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."; March 18, 2009 at 1:15 AM
