  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I just see it used as a criticism when it honestly doesn't say anything at all, other than express a feeling of displeasure.

    Like people think it's more substantial than "yay" or "boo" but it isn't unless expanded upon
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    Right.

    Saying something has bad writing is one of the vaguest possible ways to criticize it

    still bothers me honestly

    I happen to agree.
  • same

    similarly, "bad pacing"
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I know at least one reviewer who has gone on an absolute tear about the failure to elaborate upon "bad pacing."
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    Who?
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I was being vague because I didn't feel like having a conversation about it but had observed it.

    people IRL are always impressed by how fast I touch-type

    but like...that's what happens when you spend your entire life in front of a computer

    also I'm fast but not very accurate; I'm constantly fixing mistakes as I type

    I mean, okay I got that and understood as much, but I guess this is where different standards rise since "Who?" "[Name]" "Okay" barely a conversation makes to me (or in the worst case just involves not responding to potential other comments I guess).
  • I have THINGS

    also I have Dusty, who is TOO cute.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    you were impressed at my touch-typing speed

    I was? I don't recall seeing you type all that much.

    In any event, what started a nice sunny day has now become a MASSIVE THUNDERSTORM

    And the library has gotten real quiet since it rolled in
  • lookit I am Dusty now!

    Oh yeah, I do remember that!

    Also the power cut out for a moment and I had to wait for this computer to reboot.

    Hi Toolsie.

    Not much to see here except me in the middle of a massive thunderstorm

    I just feel like when I talk about media criticism outside of the assigned thread I feel like I'm frequently risking some schmo leaping in and going, "I dislike that person's work because X (and you should feel bad for having a positive opinion about them so boo to you)." People can be unbelievably confrontational here about stuff like that, and while I would really like to find some way to change that, in the here and now, I often feel downright uncomfortable discussing the subject here. Not because I want everyone to agree with me, but because I just don't need air raid sirens of negativity every time I say something that might be controversial with one or two people. And it's not necessarily the same one or two people every time; it rotates, with differing responses.

    There's also the fact that I always kind of feel like I'm being put on the spot when people ask me those sorts of questions, even if they are meant in a friendly way. If I'm not anticipating a question, and I don't feel like an answer adds anything to what I'm saying, it feels like I'm being grilled, like the person wants me to cite my sources. I really don't like that much.
  • No fair. I want a thunderstorm!

    Centie must use her princess magic to send me one. XD
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I think I should leave for a moment because I feel like I'm going to snap at somebody in the near future over something inconsequential.

    This does not invalidate my first point, however. I find it very stressful that I can't just talk about whatever here.
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    Well, alright. Sorry. Dropping it.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I am sorry. I was in a snippy mood.
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    Shrug/No big.
  • image

    so any of y'all know how to make heads or tails of Windows Process Explorer because I have no idea what I'm looking at but I'm seeing a lot of pink and it concerns me
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    As I understand it, that essentially amounts to a lot of system usage rather than anything in and of itself concerning, in part because I also got rather confused with a similar thing months back.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
  • kill living beings
    pink means services

    modern windows usually has like a million of them going, it's normal, and usually svchost.exe

    What Tzetze said. The pink ones are services, and none of them look especially out of place for a normal Windows laptop.

    Things you learn from digital TV subchannels: the 1983 movie WarGames had a direct-to-video 2008 sequel

  • Well that is good to know.

    I feel like I've been given the tools to stare into the matrix, except I can't count.

    question: if Karkat had let Kanaya kill Gamzee instead of pap-shooshing him into submission, would anything be different? ANYTHING at all?

    kill living beings
    ed: wait, was thinking of wrong murder, nvm
  • kill living beings
    if gamzer was legit dead he couldn't do all the shit irl he does to break everything

    Maybe?

    Paradox Space has a way of making these points moot.
