irc in 2018? >_>

IRC is still the single best chat protocol, even in 2018.

Discord would be competitive if it were decentralized/open/nobody "owned" it, though (Which makes sense since it's basically IRC in most respects)

How was it handled last time? They already did randomized aLttP once before.

Last time they did it was for the Hurricane relief marathon, and everything was done over the internet instead of having everybody in a room

Actually, one thing I'm not sure how they'll do logistically is separating the runners so that they don't know what each other is doing and don't hear any commentary. I'm pretty sure LttPR is like Z1R and Z2R in that screenwatching is strictly disallowed?

Nobody has said how this will be done (as far as I've seen), but relevant people have told me they have plans for this yeah.

Also funny story

This week at school has only been a two-day week because the term/semester is only just starting so I only had like 12/13 of my class in. So I couldn't really teach the full curriculum. Did a few little lessons to get them ready but nothing major. I'd anticipated this happening anyway

Anyway it gets to Thursday afternoon (weekends are Fri/Sat here) and there's half an hour left so I just put lightsaber battles on YouTube. These kids have never seen star wars except for one Lebanese/Russian kid so they don't know anything about it. So I ask them to pick the winner before each one (blue sword or red sword?) and we watch a few. They get really into them and get so loud with their cheering I actually had to pause the video and shush them because there's a class next door. It was funny listening to them rooting for Darth Maul

Anyway so the last one we watch is Ren vs. Rey from TFA and the second they realised that this time it was a girl fighting, the girls in the clsss went absolutely nuts. They were so excited and hyped about it. Literally just the fact that she was a female. Some of them are really quiet, polite kids, but I've never heard them so loud as both when they saw Rey and when she won.

I mean if anyone doubted the influence Rey has and why (I think) she's ultimately a really good thing, I feel like that would make you a believer. It was pretty cool honestly.

That's

Actually really cool yeah.

The last thing I bought off Amazon I got for free since I chose 2-day shipping and it took 3 days and I emailed them.

See I can't even complain about this, since most orders I choose the free (5-8 day) shipping because I don't buy often enough to justify Prime. And then I get most of them (Including this one!) in 3-4 days anyways

I once had an order (admittedly not from Amazon) that never showed up so they sent it again. Then both packages wound up arriving eventually and when I asked what to do they said just to keep them because stuff reported as lost in shipping didn't actually cost them anything.

That gives me hope!

Though even if that winds up being the case, fuck amazon for causing me unnecessary stress with this

I'd have been perfectly content to go deal with the local post office if it didn't come through today like the USPS guy said it would.

But Amazon's Customer Service rep decided he had to try to be a hero

StealThisSheen posted...

Nothing you described actually sounds like Amazon's fault, either way. USPS gave them incorrect information and so they acted on it to give you what they thought was good customer service.

This is pretty fair (Though when I called USPS and gave them my tracking number, they were pretty sure it would be delivered today, so I have no idea where the disconnect came from)

I'm about 95% venting here, since this was (and still is, until it gets resolved) really obnoxious to deal with.

Specifically I bought Baccano Vol 6, Konosuba Vol 4 and Nekomonogatari (Black) (All of which were released in mid-December and I forgot to pre-order because I'm dumb)

I'm also collecting No Game No Life but volume 7 isn't getting released until like April IIRC so w/e

Those are the only four series I'm buying though

Congratulations to BKSheikah, winner of the BYIG Guru Contest

I'm almost certainly going to have to ship the books back unless they can null the refund or their customer service is actually that generous.

Doubly so since I went ahead and told them that I did, in fact, receive the books.
---

Congratulations to BKSheikah, winner of the BYIG Guru Contest

Some crappy English-Translated Light Novels

and Baccano, which is actually good

(According to the product pages, all of them were sold by "Amazon.com Services, Inc.", so I'm pretty sure any seller's problem here would be Amazon's own problem. But the biggest WTF here is that Amazon claimed USPS lost my package when they very clearly did not)

Congratulations to BKSheikah, winner of the BYIG Guru Contest

I bought some books a few days ago, and got the free shipping option.

USPS did not deliver my books yesterday, citing an inability to access my apartment building
I email Amazon Customer Service at about 8 this morning. They say to call USPS, since it's a USPS issue.
I put the call off until after work, USPS says to call the local post office if it's not delivered today.
Immediately after the call (About 5 PM), I notify Amazon Customer Service that I've contacted USPS and have taken steps to resolve the issue.
About 75 minutes later, Amazon Customer Service gets back to me, saying that they looked into the matter and that my package quote "has been lost in transit by the carrier". They say they'll refund the items and that I should re-purchase them. They'll throw in free one day shipping to make up for it.
About an hour later (about 7:15 PM), I get notice that the refund goes through. Amazon's site also reflects this at this point
At about 8:15 PM I get notice through Amazon's app that this order had been delivered. I also get notice that a separate order (that I placed the same day) had been delivered.
At about 9:30 PM, I go check my mailbox, and the books I ordered are there, just as Amazon's app said.

So

FUCK AMAZON

Currently waiting to hear back on whether they can rescind the refund and let me keep my stuff

Interviews with Monster Girls is an interesting series

In the moment I definitely enjoyed it.

Within a week of it finishing I basically completely forgot about it

Same. Just a really strange phenomenon where I had no problem with the show and enjoyed all of it, it just....didn't stick. Same thing happened with Yuyushiki and....The British one?

I think the ultimate example of it has to be Majimoji Rurumo

Which I forgot about for literal years despite really liking when it aired before somebody reminded me of it a few weeks back

I do basically zero multi-monitor gaming

in fact, the only full screen game I play with anything approaching semi-regularity is Civ V. Everything else is windowed (FTL, LttP randomizer in a SNES emulator, touhou etc)
---

Congratulations to BKSheikah, winner of the BYIG Guru Contest

Oh yeah, I remember seeing your shmup topic. I opened it and then didn't say anything because you requested steam and the only thing in that genre I know anything about is Touhou.

I'm excited regardless though, because my current setup is to have some form of stream/video on one monitor, while I do everything on the other. With a third, I can put things like discord/IRC/Thunderbird on the third one and not have to remember to bring it up to check them. And that's just the bare minimum

Just saw it finally.

Liked it. Didn't love it. I have a lot of little problems with stuff in the film and a big problem with something the franchise has done as a whole. But it was okay. It felt more like Rogue One than The Force Awakens most of the time.

Luke was the bomb

Why is everyone crying about how the franchise sucks now.
