Positives, negatives and everything in between fickraken

Speaking of PC's, I'm suprised there ain't a PC topic topic here. I have a pretty decent gaming PC that I got almost a year ago.

Fick: My hobbys will be the end of me (and my wallet) -_______-
Neg: Way too hot out here...

What kinda specs are you rockin'?

Since then I added an additional 1TB WD drive and I have a 500GB Samsung SSD that I still need to install.

Pos: Finally got my cables ordered.

Neg: The free shipping at $50 was actually a promo that ended 3 days before they had more cables in stock. Dammit! Oh well, I couldn't reach that amount until they had these cables in stock anyway, and I'm still saving on shipping by ordering everything at once.

Pos: Got an idea for an AMV involving Chaika - The Coffin Princess! Now to gather footage...

$1800 good lord. When I had a friend help me pick out parts it was around $900. But then that was the goal - hit around the $800-$900 mark rather than top of the line. I still need to uh, buy those parts too now. I've been kinda putting it off (well I DID move last month).

They seemed surprised that I had this going on at just 25 which was interesting.

Hadn't thought of it when you first started mentioning neck pain but it could be your cell phone.

EDIT: Here's the link I was actually looking for.

EDIT EDIT: Though seriously what's in that last article ISN'T likely what you actually have - it just occurred to me that article could possibly scare the shit outta you and give you a case of hypochondria.

Pffft try southern summer humidity and then come tell me what's really hawt!

The heat and humidity here in MN gets horrendous in the summer. To the point where you walk outside and it's like you're breathing in water. Not fun.

Yeah while that article thankfully ain't what I've got it did teach me something. Good lord. O_O

And the price on that pc build might make y'all go



but it's being built with MMOs specifically in mind and holy balls can they get graphically demanding. I literally yearn for the day that I can play GW 2 on more than like 10 fps or lower.

My PC was mainly built with racing games and flight sims in mind, with the occasional survival or combat sim. Never really got into the whole MMO thing, though I do play some of the games I have online with friends.

Fick: Another MG Gundam followed me home <_____>


Neg: I lost my tiny Estes ProtoX quadcopter because I was an idiot and flew it outside. Now I gotta buy another one, which is $40 <__<

Pos: The other day I had a profound conversation with a good friend. We spoke of some pretty deep stuff, along with sharing life experience and advice. Though what really stuck out for me from talking with them was when they mentioned just how happy I made them. I was left momentarily speechless when I read that and really felt the weight behind those words. I had no idea I was leaving such an impact on them, it was just something that never crossed my mind. All of this altered the way I viewed them.

Everything feels different but not in a bad way. I was upfront about not being ready for anything serious anytime soon, but I left the future open to possibilities. Nobody deserves to be a rebound after all.

Pos: The meds I got from the orthopedist are working like a charm. Yay for medicine!

You gotta stop feedin' scraps to those stray mobile suits! Especially spaghetti tacos! They really like those.

Positive: Started T today.

Pos/neg(?)/AUGH-MY-WALLET: A friend sent me a link over facebook to an Akatsuki figure. I promptly searched for and found it on AmiAmi and preordered. I told myself I wasn't going to order any more figures this year but RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Pos: My cables arrived today and holy crap is everything more convenient and awesome in my living room now. All my systems are hooked up with really long HDMI cables so I could arrange things better in my entertainment center, and I no longer have to swap an HDMI cable between systems. Just switch my receiver to a system's input, turn the system on and get right to using it without having to mess with any cables.

Everything's hooked up with Cat-5 to the modem now. No more wireless latency for multiplayer gaming! I also don't have to keep moving my laptop to the center of the living room to stream anime to my PS3 anymore.


Neg: Stress has been piling up and I keep letting fear and doubt get the best of me. >_<

So have they announced an Akatsuki mouse pad or hugging pillow yet? GIVE IN TO THE MOE CHARACTER GOODS

BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE AND ADORABLE
It is hard to resist a shiny new Gundam. In fact, I must stop by the hobby shop in the morning after I get off work...

Pos: Went on a test flight the other day, was pretty fun while it lasted.

Neg: Sadly because I had to sit in the cockpit jumpseat, my already jacked right knee is in all sorts of pain if I touch it or move it in certain positions...

NOPE NOPE NOPE can't make me. This may be the first non-Tales series figure I buy (aside from cheap Amiibos and figures that came with a couple NISA game LEs) but I draw the line at figures. You will never see me resting my palm on the breasts of an anime girl, nor taking one into bed with me (or whatever the hell else people do with dakimakuras).
(you quoted the wrong part of my post btw.)

The only reason I even want this Akatsuki figure so much is because Log Horizon is one of my favorite shows in recent years and Akatsuki is awesome. Seeing the figure available for preorder was on a similar level to if I had seen a Lina Inverse figure available. There was only one proper response.

Nah I quoted the right part, when you're stressed out you've gotta get your hands around something soft, Japan knows what's up.

I was kinda hoping you'd have a more comical reaction because I already knew your response. ;P

Did I say palm? I meant wrist, but I guess it worked out in the end. Totally not freudian or anything. Nope, not at all.

Wow I didn't even notice that. THE MOE WAS INSIDE YOU ALL ALONG

OOF!

Positive: Little sister came back from Japan and brought me some cds.
Negative: Still to chicken to tell me parents.

Pos: Anime Expo 2016 confirmed

Who's a comin'?

Wait wat

You're going next year? I've been thinking of going again too.

I have friends that I met at AX last year - the Cali natives of our group go every year, and the whole time I was seeing AX 2015 stuff on my facebook feed I was wishing I could have gone. I was much to busy with other really important things to plan the trip though, so I'm not too torn up about it. There's always next year!

Maybe I'll see you there.

Negative: I can't find my work tablet. I think it was stolen, not sure why anyone would want to take it since it's a piece of crap. Man I hope I don't get fired.

Positive: Going to see Ant-Man today.

Negative: Looks like my package has been stuck in Japan for a while... I wish I didn't have the ability to check on it, because now it's making me really nervous, even though it's still well within time (and will be until August 11th)

This wouldn't be the Asbel Lhant figure would it? Because mine hasn't moved either. Though if it isn't, the reason could be related.

Oh crap, I hope you find it.

Nope, it's the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia.

Pos: Drunk Diablo nights is now officially becoming a tradition every other Saturday night. My one friend and I rambled on about the most random stuff. 

Pos: Oh man on Friday night I shared with him a series of videos on wacky Skyrim mods and how they affect the game world. Wish I had saved those for Saturday.

I am angry. I shouldn't have to fill out a form telling you the instructions when I put the instructions in the e-mail. Also, even though I am the one in charge, apparently I have no say in things. I just want to throw something right now. Argh...
