    ...And even when your hope is gone
    move along, move along, just to make it through
    (2015 self)
    So, I got a keyboard, one of those really old tangent/KeyTronic ones with no windows key, with deep keys, big keys, and as far as tactility goes, it was amazing.  It made that clickatickaclicktickaclickittaclickatick sound, and it felt sooooo good to use.

    Novus Computador, however, is too new for that keyboard, even though the keyboard, when plugged in, does that "Light up the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock thing to show that I'm plugged in" thing; so the Keyboard wasn't the problem here. 

    Keyboard:  ohmigosh i'mpluggedin i'mgonnabeused ilovetyping you'reacomputerican'tbelieveit i'mgonnabethebestkeyboardever yay!  Clickaclickaclicka oh my gosh this is so grea-

    Novus Computador:  No.

    Keyboard:  Aww, c'mon.

    New, flat, quiet keyboard:  Awww, c'mon Novus, I need a break.

    Novus Computador:  No. 

    Me:  <{ >:  >

    Me:  I'mma use adapters and then maybe this will work.

    Adapters and splitters:  Nice try.

    Adapters:  I assure you, no possible sequence of us will connect both the keyboard and the computer.

    Splitters:  I SEE, YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE SHORTCUTS IN THE SEQUENCE OF ADAPTERS SO AS TO MAKE IT WORK.  OH NO YOU DON'T.  AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN ON OUR WATCH.

    Mouse:  I'm a mouse!  I'm a mouse!  I'm a mouse!  I'm a mouse!  I'm a mouse!  I'm a mouse!

    Adapters and Splitters:  fusion dance.

    Tangle of wires:  oh yeah, just you try to make it work now.

    red adapter:  Aww, I don't get to be in the tangle

    Speakers:  Whoa, what you doin' 'ere?  'ere oi am, jest minnin me own bidness, when you and yo 'at get all unpluggy on me, 'ere.  'eck no, donchew be unploggin' me; i 'ate bein' unplugged, you 'ear!

    Tangle of wires:  your plan was admirable, but it had one flaw; and that is that I CAN REFUSE TO WORK FOR NO REASON AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

    Me:  You guys are driving me nuts.  What tools you all are.

    red adapter:  even me?

    me:  especially  you.

    me:  <{  [:  O

    me:  -finds the one adapter I need to complete the connection between computer and keyboard

    That one adapter:  -is used by me-

    Novus Computador:  Nooooooooooo

    Tangle of wires:  Curses!  Foiled again!

    both keyboards:  Yay!

    red adapter:  All he has to do is show up and the place goes crazy. I swear, someday I'mma kill you all, starting with this johnny come lately.

    Novus Computador:  Wait, nothing's happening.

    Tangle of wires:  What's going on?

    Red adapter: ???

    Loud Keyboard:  Canwetypenow canwetypenow

    Quiet keyboard:  Please, please, please tell me I'm finally getting a break.

    That one adapter:  I'm a'frayed not.

    Yeesh. What courses? I'm curious too, aside from the link just posted. I see nothing wrong with going into detail — unless you act like a jerk about it — about why something is incorrect.

    The second part was addressed to Mojave. I was asking about your "2000-ish for three courses, 100-ish for books" comment.

    Because (and Paradox staff of various stripes have explained this a number of times) coding simplicity and playability trump historical accuracy, and this is not something that anyone on the forums seems to understand.
  • amendment: it comes to a total of 1,771 buckaroos


    which does not seem that bad, especially as i am not paying for any of it yet and i will likely be getting a lot of financial aid once we can get the tax stuff figured out next year...
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    I see, that makes sense.
  • I'm lucky enough to have both a very financially adept mother and an aunt who actually works in the financial aid office, so I initially didn't have to pay for anything though I had to tap some loan money to get this new laptop when my old one busted.

    Kinda a shame there seem to be certain government types and religions that are difficult to code for that get in the way of CK2 being a complete game even with all the DLC. It's be nice if they made another DLC to correct this.

    That being said, I'd still say that's an acceptable, if unsatisfying answer when dealing with a video game.

    Yeah like, the game has legitimate issues, but I would not say that minor aesthetic deviations are one of them.

    Now things like africans, arabs, and mongolians all looking the same unless you buy $10 worth of DLC? Yeah that's an issue.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Donpachi stage 4. :O I can get there easy-ish, but that stage is long and brutal and full of swarms of planes trying to ram into me. :/ Also I cannot make the loop's sole 1-up item appear, which is a common theme in games by Cave. :/

    I think MAYBE the idea is this is a disguise Heathcliff is attempting to sneak into the pet shop and consume birds and fish.

    However, that sort of begs the question to "why a professor, exactly?"

    Jokes at the expense of trans people are not funny and I don't understand why so many people think this is okay. :| Why not laugh at disabled children, or abuse victims? Oh, that's right. Because it's not funny.

    The same goes for autism but the world is not quite as hateful to autistics at is to the trans population (although being autistic *is* hard).

    Also, it occurs to me that I am both of these things. :x And I really hate depicting myself as a "victim."

    Hmmm, is the new computer using a USB keyboard? It's entirely possible it may not have the drivers for a PS/2 keyboard installed. The solution there is to connect both (it will work), then go to Device Manager and have it search for new hardware.

    Also, while I'm thinking about it: How old is La Computadora? If it uses the big keyboard plug with 5 pins in it, it's easily 15-20 years old; the ATX spec (which has been around since 1995 and will likely never go away) uses PS/2 (the small plug with 6 pins in it, might by purple) and USB exclusively.

    I watched several of his reviews one time, out of curiosity. I think his "schtick" is that he dramatically complains about games, although his actual criticisms hold some ground.

    Essentially. He loves his creative insults and hyperboles, and is quite dramatic, but manages to make a point succinctly. I follow him irregularly and enjoy his videos for the most part.
