Off-Topic / Re: Dumb things that annoy you
2016 Sep 23, 23:21:12
So, earlier today, I was super tired and tried to lay down for a nap, but of course, a friend of mine came over for a few hours and refused to let me sleep. When she left, I finally started my nap.
But then at some point, someone rang our doorbell and knocked on the front door. Figuring it was just someone trying to sell something, I ignored it, but they knocked again, and then they went around to the back door (my house is on a corner and we don't have a fence around our back yard) and knocked on that door. So, I decided fine, this person reeeeally wants someone to answer the door, so I'll get up and go answer. But when I got to the door, they were gone.
It's really annoying when someone knocks on the door and has so little patience that they leave if someone doesn't immediately answer. Excuse you, that person might be in the middle of something and need a moment to get to the door!
Anyway, I decided that, if it was someone who actually knows us and if they really wanted to see us that badly, they would just call us. But they didn't. So it must've been someone trying to sell something or do yard work for us. No thank you. Goodbye. Let me sleep.
I still didn't sleep very well during my nap. Bleh.
And of course, when I tried to post this, my router decided to stop sending a strong enough signal for anything to consider itself connected to the internet, so I had to go restart the router! What a day!

So, one of my friends refuses to follow the instructions on those kinds of foods that are ready to make, like rice or pasta sides.
She just puts a bunch of water in the pot, dumps the package into it, and boils it for a while, then eats it.
If I wanna eat that kinda stuff, I do not let her make it because it won't taste very good, since she uses too much water and doesn't cover and simmer like the package says to do. It says to use 2 cups of water, and she just puts a bunch of water in it directly from the faucet.
*Sigh*
There's a reason the instructions exist. It's so it'll taste good, and your pasta or rice won't be undercooked or mushy.

That moment when I start to wake up, and I want to get up, but before I can wake up enough to do it, my friend's gigantic heavy cat lays down on my arm and throat and pins me. And then I fall asleep again.
That happened today.

It's been quite a while, but I've changed my wallpaper and lock screen, courtesy of the new Kingdom Hearts 2.8 trailer (the TGS 2016 one)!
So many shots in that trailer were so beautiful and would make great wallpapers that I couldn't help but get screenshots! Here are the other screenshots I took:
And I took this screenshot just because wow, look at the grass!! Those graphics!!

It's why I always say I have "OCPD", because OCPD just means you're a neat freak, not like an actual illness.
Though I have at times wondered if mine would be classified officially as OCD as I haven't been able to sleep if I touch one of my water bottles without a napkin (Unless I watched it) or something.
My mind catalogs exactly where what was and what it touched and what that touched and stuff.
But I still say it's just OCPD because I don't want to be one of those "Self diagnosed" people who just throw around terms they hear.
Though, any rational person might think like I do seeing as our dog pukes, poops or pees in our house basically daily.
I don't care if we cleaned it with soap and stuff, the floor is still discolored and that scares me.
While self-diagnosing is often taken to a ridiculous level, some people who self-diagnose don't have the money to go get a professional diagnosis and have to make due with trying to figure out what's wrong themselves.
It's like how tons of people in America will just keep living with a problem until it goes away or gets bad enough to send them to the ER. They don't have the money to go to the doctor, especially if it might be nothing or something really easily taken care of with medicine you can buy on a shelf at Walmart, in which case, paying for that doctor visit was a waste of money.
One of my parents' friends is actually in the hospital right now after going for about a month with lung pain that started out small and kept getting worse. It turns out, his lung was filling with fluid. He had been self-medicating with Aleve so he wouldn't have to pay for a doctor visit.

It's like that time I kept opening and closing a door over and over and over again to make absolutely sure my cat was where I thought she was. And then, I started to worry that she was just a hallucination, so I walked in there and petted and felt her, walked out, shut the door, opened the door, walked back in, petted her, walked out, shut the door, opened the door, shut the door, opened the door, shut the door, held the doorknob, and tried to force myself to stop that ridiculousness.

The biggest problem is that games being released with only half of what was promised is now a standard cycle with games. It's not like this has gone since the beginning, games were always released with everything that was meant to be put in. If the developers wanted a little more flavor to the game later on, then maybe a few new maps and a new weapon or two. It's now pay full price now, pay full price later. No wonder people complain after every game release.
This is exactly why it kind of annoys me how people keep getting so angry and keep complaining about Square Enix moving back the release dates for Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 15!
You know what?! SE keeps showing us stuff from those two games, talking about what they're going to be like and what's going to be in them, and if they think that they can't finish putting what they want in there and deliver what they've been saying they're making for us, they change they release date to give themselves more time! I LOVE THAT!!!
I absolutely love that Square Enix does not set a hard release date, tell us what they want to put in the game, and then go "Oh, we ran out of time, so we're just not giving you what we said we were." They're one of the companies that actually doesn't do that. Hard release dates are stupid. These companies have no reason to go "The game will have this, this, this, and this" and then turn around, release a game that doesn't have any of that, and say "Oops, sorry, we had no choice." Before you decide to say you want to add that stuff, check to see if that's in the budget and if it's actually possible. If it is, then give yourself as much time as you need to do it. Maybe, to be on the safe side, wait to announce that content until you've actually gotten into implementing it and know it'll be in the game. How hard is that?
Square Enix wants to make KH3 and FF15 the best that they can. They want to make those games into what they want, what they aspire for them to be. Some of us may not end up fully enjoying what they put out, but at least it won't be because of them saying "Oh yeah, the game will be like this and have this stuff" and then turning around and going "We didn't have time, so it's not what we said it was, sorry."
I get it, we're eager for KH3 and FF15, we've been waiting for so long since they've mentioned development of KH3, blablablah.
But you know what? At least by waiting this long, they have the next gen for KH3, so they have more to work with and better tools, so they can make KH3 as big as they want. And they apparently want to make it big. More worlds, bigger worlds, worlds that aren't a collection of zones, worlds that are more XYZ instead of flat, etc and so forth.
You know how much work goes into level design when you're trying to make a big, engaging map that gives you the ability to travel upwards instead of just being stuck on a flat plane?! Imagine making several maps like that!
The first KH had 13 playable worlds, not including the Dive to Heart area.
KH2 had 15 playable worlds, though one of them was just a musical QTE world. And most of those worlds were very lacking in level design.
Birth by Sleep had, like... 10 playable worlds, though you visit each of them through 3 storylines.
Either way, I don't care that we have to wait longer for FF15 and, especially, KH3. I'm actually pretty excited for KH3 because I'm excited for the things they've been showing and telling us about because I know that they'll actually deliver that!!! When I heard all about how the worlds are going to be and saw video of it, I was like "YES! Finally! Some good level design again!" And it sounds like it might be great level design, but I'll withhold that judgment until the game comes out.

Firefox updated and is still having issues with Youtube videos, and I'm too lazy to transfer everything I have on Firefox over to Chrome, so I guess I'm stuck copying and pasting Youtube URLs into a Chrome browser until Youtube stops being buggy for Firefox.
For as long as I've been old enough to keep an eye on little kids, I've been roped into doing so, no matter how little I want to. WHY?!!! Why always me?! Why do I have to watch kids so much?! I think I've only ever been paid for it once!
I have to go babysit 3 little boys at my parents' friends' house this Saturday while their family is 2 hours away at, either, Six Flags or a water park.
How did I end up having to do this? Their grandma asked my mom to ask me, and I can't bring myself to say no to my mom no matter how much I really don't want to do this!!
*Sigh* Curse being raised well.
At least it's better than having to watch them here, where they don't have their video games and toys to play with and the youngest would get into everything. Seriously, last time they were here, we all had to keep repeatedly getting onto the youngest kid for getting into everything and messing with stuff.
He tried to microwave a little cup of coffee creamer.
He messed with our DVD player surround sound system.
He turned on our stove. (!!!!!!!
)
He found a medication spray that's years old for a cat we don't even have anymore, got it on his hands, and then came to me and his aunt saying it made his hands hurt.
Yeah. I have to watch him, plus his two (slightly) older brothers at their grandma's house. But like I said, at least they have their video games and toys there, and that house is more equipped for little kids than mine is.

I was in the car, listening to the radio, and a pair of radio hosts talked about some news that's floating around my city. Of course, since they're radio hosts, they wanted to make things humorous, so they started the announcement out with a joke.
"I read something in the newspaper about-"
"What's a newspaper?"
"Oh, right, I forgot I'm talking to a millennial."
Me in the car: [Eye-rolling intensifies]
*Sigh*
Sorry if I don't find jokes like that to be entertaining.
Millennials know what newspapers, landlines, phone books, VCRs, CD players, etc are. We remember when people called to order pizza instead of ordering it online. We know how to have a conversation without our cell phones. We remember what books are and know how to use them. We know what a map is.
It's not like newspapers went out of use in the 80s. They're still in use! We still know what they are!
I'm just getting kind of tired of older people acting like millennials are stupid and don't know or understand anything and like we actually have our phones in our hands every literal second we're awake. No more of these "Our food is so delicious, your kids will actually put their phones down to eat!" commercials!!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rest on an enormous salt pile.

So, I'm trying to watch Youtube videos to catch up on the many, many videos I want to watch.
For some reason... this video stopped buffering at 2:10. Once I got to 2:10, it paused for a moment to start buffering, and then it began playing again. It stopped buffering, so I checked where it stopped.
2:56.
Why.
WHY.
WHY?!!
It's a 38-minute video! I don't want it to pause every minute or two to buffer! Youtube, why are you doing this?!!!
It's only doing it in Firefox, which is my main browser, especially since I have two Gmail accounts, so I keep them both logged in by having one on Firefox and the other on Chrome (Don't ask, things happen), and I didn't want to log out of the one on Chrome just to have access to my Watch Later list and my subscriptions of the one on Firefox.
Also, on Firefox, Youtube keeps doing a thing where a video takes several seconds to load, and it says the time is 0:00 / 0:00 until it loads.
I'm getting really sick of it, and I don't know what the problem is.

So, I was going to bed and I got something in my eye, it was pretty big, so I tried rubbing it out and it stopped hurting, after a while it started again, so I guessed that I didn't get it out.
I go downstairs and look in he bathroom mirror, welp.... there's a little roundish black thing.
I try for a while to get it out.... and get this....
It's a TURD!
A mouse pooped in my bed and I got it in my eye!
We need more mouse traps, at least it's a funny story though.
I would say... go to the doctor immediately if you start getting sick. Don't forget that rats and mice carry disease, and their, er.. waste can be pretty bad.
Your eyes absorb things. That's why it's so dangerous to get things in your eye, especially liquids. That's why you wear safety goggles in a laboratory. Not just because certain chemicals can burn and you really don't want to burn your eyes, but also because your eyes could absorb said chemicals into your body. It's also why surgeons wear eye protection and coroners pull down a mask when they do something extra messy.

I've had a cold for a few days now, and I hate having a cold. 
I don't cough in my sleep, so when I sleep, snot builds up in my chest, so as soon as I wake up, I have to cough it all up.
To make things worse, this cold seems to be messing with my voice more than they usually do, like it's trying to make me lose my voice or something.
Also, it seems that, whenever my friend hangs out at my house a lot, I end up running behind on watching shows and Let's Plays. I mean, I don't mind watching her shows and hanging out with her instead, really. It's fun!
But I do welcome the breaks where I can work on catching up on stuff I usually watch.

What is the deal with gamers and face cams? Like...why? Personally I can't stand to watch gameplay videos with facecams. It's really awkward having some dude's face in the corner of the screen blankly staring at me...freaky man, freaky.
I could understand a hand cam for high-level play, since it proves they aren't cheating, but a face cam?
With most of the facecams I've seen, the player isn't looking directly at the camera, but they might sometimes look at it.
I think, mostly, it's because there are a lot of people who demand it. I've seen people tell Cryaotic to start having a facecam, but he refuses. Part of it is, he doesn't want anyone to know what he looks like, to protect his privacy, but another part is, he says that his face has nothing to do with the game he's playing. He feels that what we're supposed to be paying attention to is the game he's playing and what he has to say about it, not the look on his face when something happens.
That's why people want facecams: To see the expressions on the Let's Player's face. That's all well and good for horror games, but not much else, unless the LPer actually involves the facecam in some entertaining way rather than it just being there.

Being honest, I say literally quite a bit, but not in every single sentance.
Ok, Cartoon Network has adverts for the new Loony Toons/Tunes/whater they're calling it now, and they say they're bringing out "ALL-NEW MOVIES!". Guess what movies they show?
Loony Toons: Back In Action, and the Yogi Bear movie.
Um...THOSE ARE NOT BRAND NEW AT ALL.
Cartoon Network has become incredibly stupid.
Though, at least they're not taking Steven Universe off the air. They have some pretty good reasons to, but they're not doing it. I wanna see how the story ends, so I'm glad it's still going. But I am rather salty that they keep putting it on such long hiatuses. I guess this "month of Steven Universe" thing sort of makes up for it a little...

I'm not sure how it came off, but to clarify: I hate the name "emoji", not "emoticon".
I know. That's how I read it. It occasionally annoys me too, especially if someone calls a text emoticon (one that doesn't make a little picture appear) an emoji. Noooo! It's an emote!
I think I've mentioned before, about how our router is set up where the desktop computer is plugged into slot 1 for whatever reason, and it seems like, whenever the desktop is shut down, we start having weird issues with other devices in the house being able to connect to the router but saying there's no internet. Every single time I reboot my laptop while the desktop is off, I end up with that happening to me, and I have to reboot the router just to get internet again.
Well, yesterday, I rebooted my laptop for updates. Today, my laptop did it again: connected to the router but said there's no internet.
So I got tired of it. I finally switched which things are connected to which slots, so now slot 1 has something that's always on 24/7, and I rebooted the router so my laptop would actually connect to the internet again. Hopefully this fixes the problem.
I can't think of what else it could be because it's not just my laptop doing this. It's every device in the house. And it only does it when the desktop computer is shut down while plugged into slot 1.
