"What's Upsetting You Right Now?"

[Amatiramisu]

Oh boy. Netflix. Watching two year old movies and episodes of a show I've already seen three seasons ago.

[Police Girl]

I'm upset that, yes, it's dark and cloudy outside, but it's Las Vegas, we average out in 100 degree tempuratures, yet somehow we're getting FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS EVERY FIVE MINUTES
SO EVERY FIVE MINUTES I CAN'T WATCH MY MOVIE, OR TV IN GENERAL, BECAUSE THERE'S NO AUDIO BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS THAT WE SAW FIVE MINUTES AGO

Hah, fox did that one week, it was so bad because the Audio went out of sync when it came back, only to eventually hop back to normal.

Oh boy. Netflix. Watching two year old movies and episodes of a show I've already seen three seasons ago.

That's an exaggeration.

Netflix updates fairly often. Also, I'm sure there's a lot of great shows and movies on there you haven't seen yet.

Me personally, I have a habit of re-watching a lot of episodes for certain shows because they're that good.

[Quickman]

Blah.  I need to go spend the night and most of Monday at my grandma's because my dad wants to go off and spend the night at his girlfriend's.  So, he volunteered me to babysit my grandma.  If the circumstances were any different, I wouldn't mind spending time with my grandma, but with all the drama and bullshit surrounding her and the rest of my immediate family, I would rather have nothing to do with any of them.

In short, my grandma's health is on the decline because she refuses to wear her oxygen, and my dad won't do anything about it. and the house is a disaster, he has three dogs there, the place stinks, he's a neglectful ass, and I really don't want to go over there at all.

The place has a bad reputation, and I'm guilty by association.

[Dr. Wily II]

Arghh... My lappie keeps shutting down on its own accord, and I have not been able to figure out why. Heat, Flash, it's like everything in one. *turns on lappie again.*

[Quickman]

Might be due to heat.  Try setting up a fan behind it.

[Dr. Wily II]

*back on lappie* Time to find a fan then.

[Quickman]

If you have any canned air, try blasting some in the fan vents.  Might just need a dusting.

[Dr. Wily II]

Canned air?
WE ARE NOT UNDERWATER

[Phi]

I always refer to them as "Air Compressors".

[Dr. Wily II]

STILL NOT UNDERWATER
... YET

Posted on: August 03, 2013, 14:59:31Still looking around, but I have a burning question that's related.

Do I need to worry about getting a new lappie, and starting backing up my pron stuff?

[Sakura Leic]

How old is your lappie?

[Dr. Wily II]

Hmm... Aug 2010.

It just turned 3 years old today (4 Aug).

[Quickman]

I had my Dell for eight years and aside from a few hiccups, it still works fine.  Three years isn't that old if you take care of your computer.  If it's a fan problem, you can replace the fan.  Plenty of tutorials on YouTube to follow on how to do it.  But, I think just getting a can of compressed air and blasting the fan vents should do the trick.  May just be dust.

As for backing up anything, do it just to be on the safe side, but the problem sounds to me like a temperature control issue.

[Dr. Wily II]

If so, that will be good. I still intend to keep this lappie for at least 2 more years...

Posted on: August 04, 2013, 01:31:25Wait, replace the fan on a laptop on YouTube?

[Quickman]

Yep.  Ringman and I cracked open a laptop, following a tutorial on YouTube.

[Dr. Wily II]

Meeeeeep.

Although I like my plamos... I think I'll leave that to the techies.

Posted on: August 04, 2013, 02:00:46Well, lappie poofed again.

So until I find that prop table with fans beneath it for my lappie, I decided to use 4 gashapon capsule halfs (all the same size of course), and prop my lappie on top of them. Now, there's about... 3-5cm of space between lappie and the table-top.

[Sub Tank]

People who have problems with Dragon's Crown.

The most 1^st world problem I've ever heard is, "Oh no my video games are getting too sexy!"  Give me a break.

[Sakura Leic]

If you don't want sexy in your games don't play sexy games, that simple.

[Sub Tank]

Some people feel it's their duty to stop fictional characters from being objectified, even if they are objects by definition.

[Sakura Leic]

Some people feel it's their duty to stop fictional characters from being objectified, even if they are objects.

Yeah it's stupid sometimes, I admit I don't like female characters being sexy all the time but I don't make a big deal about it because it's a fantasy.

[Sub Tank]

Right.

To be fair, men do a horrible job at representing female characters, because you know, we're men.  You end up with weak princesses that need rescuing, back-row healers that are only love interests, and so on.  I'm tired of it myself but, it's a male dominated industry.  All these feminist groups yelling at men to do a better job like we're not going to screw it up next time is a really odd solution to the problem.  I'd really like for there to be more female developers, so we can see worlds from their perspective, but it doesn't seem like a field women are interested in.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah it's sad, if I was a genius at programing and story making I'd do it but I'm not.  I'll just own a video game store instead.

[Cherrykorock]

This is why I like Samus.
She's a tough woman that CAN be sexy, but mostly she's wearing that armor.
I guess feminist can say [parasitic bomb] about her emotional side in Other:M but I still feel the emotions ere warranted.
The wooden acting however I can NOT forgive.

Besides the developers aren't the only people to point the finger at.
Who's the target audience?
Most of the time it's teenage males over loaded with hormones that like pervy stuff.
They also like playing the role of the hero and saving womanz.
It might seem like they women are being objectified but in reality sometimes it makes sense.
If they were strong enough to protect themselves they wouldn't NEED rescue and therefore there would be no game.

Sure they could have it reversed but the same issue would be on hand.
The men would feel like they're making men seem pathetic.
But then again I never really hear men argue such things because they're too busy just enjoying the games.

One last thought on the matter.
Boobs.
