Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[Ray502]

– Christmas hype

Minus???!?!!!

Yes, cuz I’d rather get gifts immediately than wait until the 24th of December.

Impatient much?

+ Cooking pizza again and drinking pink lemonade
+/- Road to the bonfire was closed due to the old detour. Didn't feel like going anyways so took the bag of chips with me and ate some at home

[nr0r]

+ Finally got around to beating Rayman 3 on my PC after 13 years of nonsense
- Still waiting on Sony to fix the code I have for Rayman 3 HD. Corporate juggling is dumb.

- Stuck in the middle of the road to home two fucking days before a Christmas that will be the celebration of my failures of the year. Yeaaaaaayyy !!!!!
There is like 0 "+" since the last two days, my helmet and PiP Boy broke out and I gotta wait to be home to fix them up.

[Itooh]

+ Christmas shopping is done. This time I took a large advance.
- Still need to do packages though. Eeeeehhh.

+ Holidays! \o/ Hey, what is this!? TIME!? You mean I can finally use it? *_*

+ PC's season's holidays theme! This day is GREAT!

[Master]

+ Finished Sonic Adventure 1, Big's fishing minigame notwithstanding
- Tried to run Sonic Adventure 2, but it's a royal pain in the arse, and the controls feel somewhat laggy.

Meh, I'll skip out SA2, maybe try emulating sometime, I'll give Lost World a shot instead.

[NyaNyaLily]

+ / - Last minute Christmas present shopping BABYYYYYY!
+ CHRISTMAS!
+ / - CAPS LOCK
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I managed to get DirectPlay working yesterday
- a minus because negativity is cool on the internet :(

[Master]

- It's extremely late, and I can't sleep, it's meaning I wake up later when I do manage to nod off.
+ It's not a big issue, what with it being the holidays, but I don't like walking up in the afternoon, doesn't feel right.

[PluMGMK]

+ Going to see a rugby match later.

Really? The SA2 controls feel way more modern, far similar to the likes of the newer games. I thought SA1 was very sloppy to control.


+ Some kinda cool things happened this year and I accomplished a number of things in a few different areas. I also made a surprisingly large number friends, and I got to know my cousin and his wife better - hopefully we'll be going to Alberta to meet up with his brother and I'll get to go hunting for my first time. I also got to go to California with my stepsister where we had a blast, and at the same time I got to meet up with Brad.

- Other than those things specifically, I thought it kind of sucked. I'm pretty much in the same position I was two years ago regarding a few important things, when, if I'd put in the effort, I could've had them on the move within mere months. Now time is running out. Not happy.

+ Pretty hyped to see Assassin's Creed in a few hours; I have no idea if it's going to be good or not.

[Master]

To be fair, it might have been because it wasn't set up correctly, I found it very difficult to properly direct things like the homing attack. The spin-dash also felt a little delayed. I agree that it doesn't make sense for SA2 to control worse than SADX, which has me wondering if I'm missing some sort of mod or patch. I did install Better SADX after Tail's final boss was glitched, but I couldn't find anything comparable for SA2. There's also graphical glitches, during City Escape, there was a Tram carriage constantly hovering over the top of the screen.

Truth be told, I think I just got a little fed up and gave up. I then tried to move onto Sonic Lost World, which turned out to be yet another headache. I know Lost World is a port, but given how Generations ran perfectly well, I was kinda disappointed to have to deal with issues from a newer title. After getting frustrated there, I decided to take a break from trying to get those games running for now.

+ Survey looks like it's on the right track to be ready to run for the new year
- I've been very lazy during this holiday, I'm supposed to be progressing on my project
- I also have an exam to look forward to when I get back

+ Going to see a rugby match later.

- I've readed that earlier, I wasn't using much of the recent builds recently, bu that's still a bit loss for the open source world. But heh, Lineage might be as good.

[Adsolution]

+ 21000nd post

[Master]

Many congratz. Gud milestone.

+ Gratz to Ad on her 21000st post!
- Not feeling all too good, a little sickly, in honesty.

[PluMGMK]

Congratulations!

[nr0r]

+ Finally quit my dumb job and am beginning my new art career!
+ Husband gave me flowers, wine and chocolate on my last day, as well as brought my closest coworkers and I together for dinner

[incognito]

- I'm starting to be pretty anxious and even terrified about 2017.
+ I finally shot that movie I had in mind since some time now, it ain't the dark webserie idea I had when I was at France, this one will be done after April.
+My PiP sBoy's camera is pretty much set up now, the code remains and when done I'll start to draw the plans of the case.
- I feel lonely, and like if I failed this year from A to Z.
- There is no one I can explain this to.

[Master]

- Bloomin eye is playing up, might need to get some drops.
-/+ Lazing about with not much to do, so, I'm now sitting around listening to this:

[Fifo]

– The ink in my printer has dried out

[Master]

Dried out? Don't printers usually have routines to prevent ink drying up and clogging?

- I'm pretty sure one of our ink cartridges has been depleted since the holidays started, I'm going to have get the ink cartridges at some point when I get back.

[Fifo]

Dried out? Don't printers usually have routines to prevent ink drying up and clogging?

A friend of mine has “borrowed” the printer (it’s an HP Officejet 4500 btw) in 2011-2012 and he has now got a new one, so I got it back.
It hasn’t been used for a while, so yeah, the printhead’s clogged.

+ At least the tri-color cartridge works fine
– The black cartridge may be empty too, so I may be wasting time

+ Well, at least I can finally scan stuff on my Mac.
+ Also, the printer has an Ethernet port, so I can connect it to the network.
