| D&D 4e potential characters |
[04 Jul 2009|01:18pm] |
So a clanmate is starting a D&D 4e game soon and I felt like pinging potential builds (well... practically more like build stubs, especially since I've only built to our starting level of 1) off of my usual and not-so-usual suspects first.
( Nerdiness under the cut )

So, lately I've really gotten into reading/watching Let's Plays, and I think I kind of want to try my hand at some of my own. Most of the forums that are dedicated to those though require bullshit like signing up for a game and waiting your turn and blah blah blah - Something Awful's is the only one that's really a free-for-all, and let's face it, even if I wanted to be a goon, I am not about to pay money just to join a fucking forum - so I'm going to do it on LJ. Plus, I think I'd prefer the blog-style format for user participation, since it means you don't have to scroll past things like 50 posts of "name the main character 'pants'!" just to get on with the show. =P
So as not to spam any of you guys who might not want to read it, I've created a separate LJ for it over at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) blackrose_lp. (Besides, even if I don't actually end up following through, I don't see any obvious reason anyone else would want that username anyway, so at least I shouldn't be squatting on it.)
It's empty at the moment, but expect something before too long - even though it's stupid-easy I've got a horrendously silly urge to do Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon: Another Story (this one would be in screenshot format, obviously), and I've got the translation-patched ROM for it and a copy of ZSNES just kicking around anyway. It'll be a good warm-up at least?

<Kompootor> america is a big country... I just realized that
<Kompootor> like, it's really wide and really tall
<Kompootor> and it has islands
<Kompootor> and a big chunk of Canarussia
<femmina> ...
<Barbie> ...
<Kompootor> my point is, maybe we should partition this hard drive
<Mr_Orange> no
<Kompootor> and get an open-source government in one half
<Mr_Orange> partitioning is useless
<Mr_Orange> now
<femmina> ...
<Kompootor> but... open source!
<Barbie> komp, that's called DEMOCRACY
<Mr_Orange> but...partitioning is obsolete
<Barbie> and you can't dual-boot a country. that's called the CIVIL WAR
<Kompootor> well maybe on some days we want to compile using GSL?
<Barbie> i need some sanity. time to watch IT crowd
<Mr_Orange> sanity is over rated
<HereticSoul> ^
<Kompootor> see we could have two governments, and every morning people wake up and vote what government to boot on
<Morning> ...
<Mr_Orange> ugh?
<Kompootor> magic of the internet
<Kompootor> referenda every day
<femmina> except no
<Kompootor> online voting - it's the newest thing
<Mr_Orange> except the people who have no internet
<Kompootor> meh, they can phone it in
<Morning> yeah. How about you install that system on your private island
<Morning> the rest of us will be over here, far away, where we know what government we'll wake up to.
<femmina> or leave government decisions to those of us who know what the fuck we're doing
<Kompootor> hehe Wikicracy
<Kompootor> the free Legal Code that /anyone/ can edit!

| Yay, D&Ding again soon! |
[28 Nov 2008|02:20am] |

So, I'm gonna be playing D&D online with some of my TF2 clanmates soon. It should be great fun! I've missed gaming. A lot. This is largely going to end up being a nerdy braindump post, so that's your warning to turn back now if D&D isn't so much your thing.
So, we've got a party of four so far (counting me), though we've only decided a couple days ago we were going to play and so we're waiting to hear from more people first on interest. I'm pretty much going to fulfill whatever role(s) are left over. Party so far:
- Human Ranger (likely mounted archer - he saw camel on the animal companions list and really liked the thought)
- Human Monk (wants to tank, my inner min/maxer is really skeptical of this choice, but eh. The DM is the one who suggested Monk to him for that role, so i'm guessing our encounters aren't going to be too horrible. =P)
- Elf Cleric (was going to multiclass Wizard, until I talked with him a bit and learned he mostly just wanted to be blast-y and heal-y and I told him that Clerics get some decent blasting too, inasmuch as blast-y is decent at all)
So, it looks like it's shaping up for me to be the trapmonkey, the arcane caster, or both. FWIW, the starting level's not known exactly yet, but will probably be somewhere around 3-5. My possible thoughts, depending on what role(s) I need to fill (I'm gonna include race/PrC thoughts where I have any yet - dunno if we'll get far enough for PrCs but having one as a goal will help shape the build a little anyway, so it's not a bad idea):
( Build Possibilities )
Any thoughts? (Stats will likely be rolled, ah well, but I actually got a pretty decent array just messing around with the dice roller when we were playing with the software we'll be using: 17, 16, 14, 14, 11, 7. I may just ask to keep that depending on what I go with. For what it's worth, it's 4d6 drop lowest, roll 7 times and drop lowest of those.)

I think, perhaps, that worse than complete rejection by someone is the old "I don't think of you any differently, we're still friends." You'd think it would be easier... not losing a person you've come to care about more than most others... but such words seem to bring stagnation.
Reciprocated feelings, you can move forward together. Being hated for your feelings, you can push on past. Things staying the same as they were... well, then you also stay as you were, which is the problem.
Still spending the same times together, but your feelings can't just be turned off, even when fulfillment is impossible. Still wanting to be close, even if in a different way, but feeling so awkward because you're afraid of your intentions being mistaken...
It's not even just recent events. I think perhaps I stagnated at 15, and everything since has just been me chasing after ghosts of someone who's not even dead.

| Free TF2 Weekend! |
[30 Apr 2008|01:23am] |
So this weekend, the amazingly awesome Team Fortress 2 is free to download and play! (Actually, free for download right now, but if you're not shelling out for it, you can only actually play it this weekend.) More info can be found at http://www.steampowered.com/goldrush/.
It's totally worth its $30 price tag, and it's included in the Orange Box which is an even more awesome deal. (Even if you never touch the Half-Life 2 stuff, it's the same price as getting TF2 and Portal individually, and they're both worth their costs, plus it has a couple other random bits in.) But hey, when it's free, might as well give it a whirl, right?
Any of you who decide to join in on the fun this weekend, or anyone who already has the Orange Box (or anything else from Steam, really, though all I have is the Orange Box myself), add me as a friend. SteamID is ArashiKurobara.

BGSU College Republicans hold anti-feminism bake sale. Pretty cool-seeming chick starts up spontaneous free candy in protest and writes about it. College Republicans e-stalk their way to her LiveJournal and internet wankery ensues. Highlights include lolBoudicca.
In unrelated news, I'm experiencing hair envy of a friend, considering bright pink hair post-Commencement.

I've been such a stress case lately. It's not even schol stress or anything, it's personal stress, and it's all my fault.
I'm still in love with my first love, even though I fell for him 6 years ago and have seen him all of twice since he graduated high school four and a half years ago, none in over three years.
I do love Fitz, really, but not as much as I love the other guy. But it's been well established the other guy doesn't like me as anything more than a friend. And actually, I'm alright with that. I'm glad to have him as a friend, he's one of the best friends I've ever had. Even if I weren't happy with it, it's not possible to make someone love you, and I don't think I would if I could. It wouldn't be fair to him.
I thought I'd be happy knowing that, thinking it meant I'd never have to choose between the two because there wasn't a risk of the other guy falling for me. But it turns out that the problem is that I'm not sure if I can be happy with Fitz since even though I do love him, he's not the one I love the most. But I already know that I can't be happy without anyone.
I wish I could just be practical about it. Practicality says that Fitz is good for me, he's here, he loves me, I should keep him. And it's not like I don't want to make Fitz happy.
But what would make me happy?

WTF? Why? All the places people normally flyer along the stairs just got cleared recently, it's not like they were hurting for somewhere to post without covering up other flyers.

The cause of nearly all my problems of late is my own emotions. But... as they say, you can't control your feelings, only what you do about them. But then... when the problem is the feeling themselves, is there really anything I can do to solve my problems?
I hate lose-lose situations.
Maybe I'll be less cryptic some other time. Not that anyone really wants to know anyway, I'm sure.

| Ever-so-slightly belated Boston summary |
[27 Nov 2007|02:43pm] |

Boston this Thanksgiving again was fun.
Actual Thanksgiving felt a lot less crazy this year.
Went shopping the next day following ramen for lunch. Picked up Scion: Demigod at Pandemonium (there were so many other things I probably would have bought if they were there but they weren't *sad*) and the Shadow of the Colossus OST at Tokyo Kid (in my wildest dreams they would have had the master grade Strike Noir kit...).
Then the Sunset for dinner and beer. And this time I could have the beer! It turns out I kind of like stouts and porters. And then on the totally other hand I had a strawberry lambic which was delicious too.
Not much the day after. Crepes for lunch, sushi for dinner. More people should try mackerel sushi, is yummy.
Also, I have been playing way too much Tokimemo GS and now my brain is totally stuck in Japanese school mode. 「カッコイイじゃん！」
