...and it made me frown

[Bleck 118]

A thread to post in when something gets you down.

 

I'll start it with the news that Hayao Miyazaki is retiring.

[Sunset 61]

NNnnnnoooooooo D8 

[Asura 34]

Wow...   Thats...  Incredibly tragic  =<

[Resonance 5]

But... but... but... nooooo. 

 

I'm also sad today because it's raining on my last day of summer break. Boo.

I'm sad the upcoming federal election here is already brewing so many ignorant political arguments I'm stuck overhearing. And they're all futile because neither side really knows anything about what they're talking about, so basically they just make up stuff or parrot half-truths and baseless claims propagated by their preferred party. I don't claim to be knowledgeable enough to discuss it either, but at least I shut up and keep my ignorance to myself.

[Valentine 178]

I came in to talk about my own stuff gettin me down only to find out Hayao Miyazaki is retiring.

 

My world is collapsing in on itself.  T_T

[ack! 273]

I'm surprised we don't have this yet..

 

 

I'm still mad that the pizza I ordered last night tasted like soap. >(

[Seanzilla 513]

Today Outlast was released.

 

Two of my best friends are horror fans and I hate horror shit.

 

They decided it would be funny to stream this shitty game and force me to watch it. I feel like I might die any second now.

 

Save me.

But Amanda we have the "it made me frown" thread.

[Bleck 118]

I'm gonna complain about my frown that this complaints thread has given me by ignoring my frown thread. Hmph.

[Kyo 297]

Just FYI I merged the topics. 

 

Go cry about it ya bunch of babies. 

[Bleck 118]

Today's frown; people who, for whatever reason, a) have their microphones too close to their face and/or their mic receive volume set far too high, and b) feel the need to punctuate every word or sentence with a throaty exhale.

[rubberrazors 138]

All this crying made me frown.

[Kyo 297]

I have to go to work tomorrow! Booooooo!

 

And back to University next week! BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[ack! 273]

I COMPLAIN THAT MY THREAD WAS MERGED WWWWAAAAH :<

I'm sad that Total War: Rome 2 so far has been quite disappointing.

[Yasuraka 88]

I'm sad that Total War: Rome 2 so far has been quite disappointing.

 

Really? How so?

Besides the whole, way too expensive, internal faction struggle thing, I am having a jolly decent time.

[Valentine 178]

I am having a jolly decent time.

 

No. No jolly here. This is a pit of darkness up in here, up in here.

 

I have no money, and so no ability to get the tattoos i've wanted for 2 years. BAH!!

It's hard to describe. I would say it just doesn't feel as compelling as Shogun 2 or the previous Rome (I pretty much skipped Empires). It also feels a lot easier, both in battles and in the campaign map, and I'm someone who never really played above Normal in the previous games anyway. I'll keep playing, but it hasn't hooked me nearly as much as the aforementioned two games, and that is the disappointment for me. I would call it a decent time too, but I had a lot better than a decent time with the previous games.

[Kyo 297]

I have to work when I should be channelling my inner airbender with Valentine!

[Bleck 118]

Dropped my favorite pick, it vanished into the abyss immediately. Sigh.

[Yasuraka 88]

Picks do that...

 

My Rome 2 finally started f*cking me over. The AI turns take about 5-10 minutes(!) now.

 

Typed this, my roleplay and my graduation post all in awaiting of a new turn...

[rubberrazors 138]

A hotel service cart just fell on my knee. Now I am limp.

[Bleck 118]

Texting in a nutshell;

 

My mother: hey are you working

Me: tuesday to saturday 12 to 8, like I've said before

My mother: today is thursday

Me: it sure is

My mother: so are u working at the moment

Me: ...

 

Thankfully I have a job that lets me answer texts and post on forums during work hours about silly poop makin' me mad, but still.

[DayDreamer 184]

Now I am limp.

Who needs context?

If you haven't already, turn off the option to view AI movements, should about halve the time.

My frown is being in charge at work, with one shift down last night, one shift down today, and two shifts down tomorrow. The work doesn't go away, we're now gonna be 24 hours behind. And unfortunately "didnt have time" isn't an acceptable excuse when things don't get done.
