Robotic dopplegangers of the good guys are always fun.  I particularly like Metal Cream.  She's delightful.

Rockman Series / Android/Reploid/Robot Blood

« on: November 08, 2012, 05:11:45 AM »

I'm sure this has come up a million times before in the past and, in fact, I think there was a decent enough answer given at one point.  However, I have long since forgotten what the answer was, so I'm going to go ahead and ask here:

What do robots in the Rockman universe bleed?

Most people say they just bleed motor oil, but I seem to recall that there was a very specific fluid that flows through a robot's/android's/Reploid's "veins" much like blood flows through a lot of organic things.  What I can't remember, however, was what it was.  It's red like blood (sometimes a darker shade of red than normal blood), has the viscosity of blood, and apparently stains and sprays like blood, but it's not supposed to be blood.

So what is it?

Do you ever have anything useful to say?  Seriously.  Some people fart around on Facebook.  Some people trip about on Tumblr.  Other people people go around on Gaia Online.  I'd go on, but I really can't think of any more like-minded sites.

And yes.  Yes I do.  I italicize all proper titles, so deal with it.

ZenWriter.  I just saw an "advertisement" for it on Tumblr and it pisses me off... because why the [tornado fang] should a word processor have to be a software equivalent of a [tornado fang]ing iPhone?!  I use a word processor to process [tornado fang]ing words, not to listen to my music playlist or watch clouds roll by.

It's entirely possible that happened on Planet Mega Man.  I was all over the community back in the day.

I'm also the idiot that reported that one drama-filled story about the community tearing itself apart from the inside back in the day.  Back when I had the power to post news to this site.    ... I feel ashamed of the kind of person I used to be.

Do you eat hardboiled eggs at all?  Those are individual eggs.  Unless you somehow get an egg with a mutant twin embryo.  Then it's terrifyingly delicious.

If I remember Ares right, he (she?) was an "internet toughguy" kind of person.  And also enjoyed a good bandwagon on numerous occasion.

But hell, I don't remember an awful lot from the old days.  Until Ladd reminded me, I didn't even remember... the incident... that got me self-exiled.  :B

Perhaps the same reason why we don't have the ever-awesome interrobang‽

I don't know what that is.

It's that thing she posted.

(click to show/hide)

‽

It's basically an overlapping question mark and exclamation point and functions exactly the same.  It gets its name from the fancy name for question marks, "interrogative point," and the programmer jargon name for exclamation points, "bang."  "A sentence ending with an interrobang asks a question in an excited manner, expresses excitement or disbelief in the form of a question, or asks a rhetorical question," according to Wikipedia.

I just had a really simple concoction for lunch.  Basically, I cooked a can of regular ol' corned beef hash in a frying pan and dumped a couple eggs on top of it.  I ended up eating half the pan (and coincidentally, one egg) and left the other half for whomever wants it.

Seriously debating going back upstairs and eating the rest, actually...  There was absolutely zero interest in it from the one person who was awake up there.  *doesn't feel slighted at all, nope, nope*

Edit: He changed his mind.  Awesome!    Damn, there goes dinner, lulz.

Yep!  You know, it's funny.  I let this slide for so long because I figured it was all on them.  I [sonic slicer], I moan, I complain.  Yet, I never usually complain at them.  I just complain at anyone who'll listen rather than someone who could help.  Kind of reminds me of a quote...

TL;DR Version: My internet recently got fixed and I am very happy!!

(click to show/hide)

Alright, so! Some of you may be aware that my HughesNet satellite internet connection has been getting slower and slower over time. Within the last month, my speeds have actually dwindled to literal dial-up speeds, in fact. Yet, I accepted it. Other people had been expressing their concern over slow speeds for months, so I figured things were just getting slower everywhere. Still, when things got to dial-up speeds with no good reason on Friday, I finally got tired of it and made a satirical post on the official HughesNet forums about it. The reply I got back was a simple "give us your case number, or if you don't have one, call HughesNet." Well, I didn't have a case number, but I didn't plan on calling HughesNet, either. As I said, I figured it was just typical satellite internet nonsense.

Later that day, when speeds were even slower than dial-up speeds, I finally broke down and, in frustration, decided to call tech support as they'd suggested. Rather than being forced to jump through the usual series of pointless tests, however, the representative immediately requested the engineering team look at my connection. And uh... They found something. I honestly was not expecting them to find something.
Basically, either my dish needed re-pointing (very possible considering the heavy winds we'd been experiencing for the last year) or the modem was getting too old to do its job properly. He also told me, on my current plan, I should have been getting an average of 900 Kbps (which is what we were getting) rather than the 50-150 Kbps we'd been experiencing at various times. So, I decided that maybe having a tech guy come out wasn't such a bad idea after all.

So... The tech guy came today. Much earlier than expected, I might add. After about an hour and a half of work, we were back online. And, if I might say... running better than ever! Literally better than ever, in fact. Here's what the tech did:
- He replaced the modem, which apparently had a malfunctioning LAN port on it (you couldn't hook a computer directly to it for some reason, but it worked with a router just fine).
- He replaced the feed horn, which didn't have a rubber ring in the metal O-ring, had water in it, and had a cracked plastic part).
- He re-pointed the dish slightly, bumping my signal strength from 150 to 182.

Now things are working like they should be! Pages load up super-fast (comparatively speaking), YouTube videos load faster than they're playing (on the lowest settings), I can play (non-twitch) games again... I don't think I can express my happiness properly. I'm just... so... satisfied right now! This guy went above and beyond. He really did.

And to think, it was the modem the whole time... Nothing unusual on HughesNet's side, like I thought... I mean, I expect some slow-down as it gets later in the night, but not speeds of 50-150 Kbps, especially not during the dead parts of the days, like we've been getting the last couple weeks. Heh heh.

Good day, good day...

Yes!    On The Hub!  The Aquabats! Super Show!, after years of false starts, finally came to exist!  And it.  Was.  Glorious.  It's best described as Adam West's Batman meets Power Rangers meets Pee-Wee's Playhouse.  Or at least that's how I'd describe it.  It's mostly live-action, but there's also a cartoon segment in every episode.  Most episodes also have a fake commercial segment.  There's a lot of fighting and a bit of music, too.  It's just... just... super!  X3

I second it, but I doubt sincerely that Disney is that smart.

They killed Toon Disney, after all.  And most of the interesting programming on Disney XD. (Which was all of one show for me: Static Shock.  Then again, that may have been AOL-Time Warner's fault.)

[brony hate or something, I don't know, I didn't read past the first two lines]

The Aquabats! Super Show!, [chameleon sting]er!  Watch it, learn it, love it.

Also, Dan Vs..

Also-also, Happy Days and ALF.  And sometimes Batman.  Of both the animated variety and the Adam West variety.

Also-also-also, well... most everything else on there, really.
