heh, so it finally happened
new stuff? pweese? :
· updated Aura's Corner with 7 snaps.
· broke the rants up into actual, June and May.
So I was focusing on C-Mode, wasnt I? C-Mode being just a part of PSO its very timeconsuming. I mean, attempting a stage with random strangers, prolly people who's language you cant understand or even worse, who dont understand you although you can see what their question is.
Besides that, my only goal was leveling Kanti, but this is kinda solved now. Beating Seabed with just Charge Vulcs (50hit) and a Raygun (30hit), with just relying on MAG-SD... no, make that wandering easily through Seabed and kissing Olga good night after pumping not even 10k of Meseta into him made the quest for getting a Zalure Srank for Kanti kinda meaningless.
I just didnt have any real fun leveling him anymore and seeing as HUct are the most fun chars to level, this is a bad sign for real.
So hopping on last week to get some darn 2C3, 2C4 or 2C5 done I finally realized that either:
-I'm speaking very cryptic when I'm explaining things (I just wonder why those two are the only two who ever had issues with that) or
-some people either lack brains or social skills to ask back or gaming skill or pure interest to NOT be a deadweight.
To sum it up, after trying to understand what the hell went wrong and getting a snotty 'I just tried to help' which basically means 'its your fault for asking me in the first place since I'm obviously too incompetent to claim that I didnt get anything you told me twice before we started and additionally to that I didnt knew what to do during the whole 20 Minutes of Gal Gryphon battle, neither did I develope any kind of strategy and wasted a handful dolls, embarassed myself and my teammate infront of the japanese players and now shut up, I'm trying to ignore my own idiocy, wont learn shit from what happened and dont want you to remind me how braindead I am' I kinda stepped on 'hold' to recapitulate what the fuck just happened.
Oh noes! She is still on that thing? No, I'm not. Not really. It was just sitting there, waiting to get typed down.
Things you might want to keep in mind, if you can do such things, for when thinking about the whole thing:
-I'm not a 'ah well, lets forget everything, it was noone's fault etc blabla'-person.
-I like to solve problems, not to hide them under the bed to settle dust but still being there.
So basically instead of just ignoring what happened and going on with my ridiculous quest of getting all the dumb chars through something that requires a gathering of four people with a brain, skill, knowledge of what to do as well as the right attitude, I think I quit PSO completely.
Why?
Well, it started to annoy the shit outa me.
In no way I gonna sit there for ages, looking at the screen where white squares which're supposed to be readable Kanji indicate some cryptic encyphered stage-description that I cant look up because I cant count the darn strokes used for said Kanji.
In no way I gonna open a game and idle there for more than two hours each time, just because some morons hunting first S-Ranks with literally no preparation for the stage ruined the name of G, E, whatever left players. This doesnt just go against GEFS players, this goes against J players as well.
What the hell is the matter with two RA joining a game? You actually planned to be a slowdown annoyance? Whats the matter of not being able to learn how to evade simple stuff as Olga first form's dumb swipe? Wasnt there the HP requirement of 200 on your guide? Didnt you bother to look up Boss strategies where Gal Gryphon as well as the Gol Dragon should have had taught you the importance of knowing patterns as well as counteractions in Ep2 C-Mode?
In the end, no, this isnt "just" a game. This is wasting your time and whats incredibly worse, my time. It's wasting everyone's money and sanity.
If youre too incompetent to play C-Mode, stick to normal gameplay.
Stick to something you actually can handle or continue whining about 'ahh my 130 HUnl got killed in offline Ruins. Its too damn hard'. No, it isnt. Youre just too incompetent to handle such easy stuff as Ruins.
Yeah, easy I said. Everything a HUct at level 98 with just Charge Vulcans from Shop (50hit), a found Raygun with 30hit and the trusty S-Rank Sword with no special can handle solely relying on MAG-SD simply IS infact easy. Especially for a 130 HUnl who has all supportive techs at hand and by far enough HP to laugh at Belras (granted, not at online Death Bringers but come on, its not a matter of enduring a 1400 blast, its a matter of evading) and other stuff.
So, since my interest in BB, in PSU, hell, even in Ep3 or this new wacky release of PSO+ in the US is really low, it was just a matter of consequences and/or triggering experiences to set this action off.
Something to add? Ah yeah, I kinda miss you guys already... Will, Ami, Raz, Aura, Kim, even Curry and some more peeps, but its simply not paying off, shelling out that much cash just for seeing people I could have mail contact with for free. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but first of I have to cut my expenses and then again, come on, how much did we play with each other? Its nothing that AIM or e-Mail couldn't compensate.
So, a conclusion.
Here a lil doodle from a few weeks ago, which basically indicates, what my Cube has to handle these days. Whoever guesses the game played, gets... nothing.
You really aren't expecting a medal for that, I hope.
What else to expect from this site?
Well, I still have a couple of Aura's Snapshots to upload which I'll prolly do later today. Furthermore I'm pretty sure there are more in the pipeline. Too bad I dont see any sense of setting up the Aura-gallery that was in plan anymore. But gotta live with that, I guess.
A last serversiden Check up, then most likely nothing much from my part except a random note in this section here, depending on if Aura or anyone else sends over new stuff.
Be ensured, I wont be pulling a Sou here and shut this site down completely. Why should I. It's also partly your people's site - namingly Aura and Raz, if he ever has some free time to send stuff over.
However, due end of September, this site will most likely be offline. This is a matter of fact by now... well, its 90% possible.
So, basically moving on, I beat a couple of TS2-stages on hard, and am only 2 chars away from having the full cast - and 6 Silver-cups waiting to be turned into Gold-cups as well as 4 more Stages left to be solved which will be hell.
Current Clearance Percentage: 93,6%.
Besides that and learning incredible ammounts of junk for the exams, I went to the cinema to watch Shrek 2.
Well, to sum it up into one marky sentence: ''incredibly funny, but has some lenghts.'' or... ''I really didnt regret the ticket money and I laughed most of the time but I still prefer the first part since it has a more round up story." Ok ok, last sentence wasn't that marky (whatever 'marky' could possibly mean).
So... I'd say, go watch it, its definitely worth it. Most jokes arent for preteens since they simply dont get them so I'd give this movie a PG12 rating.
Btw - if you feel that you have to talk to me or anything, dont hide behind false pride, mail me.

Besides this, well, nothing much. Here a little exxagerated... or is it exaggerated? I have no real urge to check that up right now... documentation of what I'm doing these days - besides learning senseless stuff and using pencil/paper a whole lot more than ever before.
