Preordering books that come out in a year is somewhat absurd and yet I did it.

Finally I watched the two Ranma ½ movies. Now I have seen every animated piece of content available.

Dammit! The OG XBox cable I bought is garbage. The video signal is very noisy.

Gonna remove all Pony episodes off my laptop's harddrive. I copy it on an external HDD. I just need the space. 200GB is a bit much to keep around for nothing.

Bought my first game on the Epic Game store. Untitled Goose Game. They have a promotion that gives you 10 USD off the price.

I'm so happy that the new owners of my local cinema have the Star Wars film in English AND its showing is in the afternoon. Finally I can watch a film without falling half asleep. Also I can use public transportation.

My transformation into a weeaboo continues. I bought some Bandai Figuarts figures.

For over two weeks I work at another office and these people have the worst dishwasher discipline. Over that time I encountered dirty dishes mixed with clean ones. Also these people put their dirty stuff into the sink even when there is plenty(!) space in the dishwasher. I've 3d printed a sign in the hopes that can be reduced https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3890131

I'm through all Ranma ½ OVAs, including the one from 2008. The 2008 one is very strange animation-wise. Due to the more "modern" art style and smoother animation it looks plainly wrong. Also the animation timing and framing is stylistically worse in my opinion. The only content I'm missing are the two films and I've just ordered them. Soon I'll be free from the compulsive urge to consume everything from that darn series.

I have the urge to acquire expensive collectible and poseable figures of Japanese cartoon characters.

Binged through 161 episodes of Ranma ½. Only the 12 OVA are left. My head is all mushy. So far I can only say that there are a lot of episodes that are faithful to the manga, however there are also plenty stories with hacked-up plots spread over multiple episodes sprinkled over multiple seasons. Of course there are also not an insignificant number of original stories. These leaned more to the bad side, but a few were quite good. Over all I prefer the manga. The manga was tighter in the presentation and the jokes hit better because of that.

OK... I'm hit by reality. In order to fully utilize the AMD Ryzen 9 3950x I need to buy a motherboard that is well in the range of 400€+ because the motherboard power regulation often heat up so much that the CPU throttles. I take down a notch in my plans and get less ambitious in the CPU department. I rather want to upgrade more often than blasting all my earnings for the best. A 3900x will be sufficient enough! HAHAHA.

Black-grey wallpapers look great on any device. A cleaned-up scan from a manga has some class. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875384

Welp. The CPU is helplessly out of stock with no guarantee when it'll be restocked.

Haha! I get a 1000€ end of year bonus! My PC upgrade will be sooner than anticipated, with better components than firstly compiled.

@adiwan 2080 TI ?
-
@drinkingpony Well... I stick to a 2080 super but I'll probably get the Ryzen 3950x instead of the 3700x. The 2080ti would be neat but it's too expensive.

Using MacBooks is torture. Only morons can design these backwards keyboards and touchpads. Also dongles. I have to use one at work for a short assignment.

@adiwan That is how I used to play Anno 1404 multiplayer, Untill I realised that due to Ubisoft's shoddy coding it would just grab the first network-interface ( of type X, where X is either wired or wireless ) to try to connect to other players.
Which is a HUGE problem if you have, for instance, VirtualBox installed since it creates a virtual adapter.

I'm configuring my new computer back and forth on several shop websites and I'm always getting easily up to 2000€. Essentially I cannot recycle most of my components. HDDs, DVD drive only. My last configuration was an AMD 3700x, 64GB DDR4-3200, 1TB m.2 SSD, NVidia 2800 super, mainboard, 800W power supply, case. I need a new case because my current has only usb2 ports at the front and I'd like to have something better. Other than that it has some serious scratches from over 14 years of use as well as an unsightly opening on the side panel when these CPU "tubes" were in fashion for directly venting the hot CPU air out. This was never used because my cooler was not shaped in the way to benefit from that.

@adiwan Sounds about right, I just build a 3600 Ryzen 5 powered PC for my dad, Though it has only 16 GB of RAM and a GT 710 instead of 64 GB and a RTX 2080 Super.
No DVD drive though, who needs that in 2020 ? And if you do. Go USB the thing.
> I need a new case
Fractal design define R5 or S. Probably not the S if you want to mount multiple HDD's and a DVD drive up front.
Also I kinda remember Gamers Nexus saying "It is the card noone actually cares about" ( I had it running in the background while doing something else ) http://rainbowdash.net/url/875373 ... So beware on that RTX 2080 Super I guess. -
@drinkingpony I'm a programmer. It's the second best without completely pulling out a leg and an arm to afford a 2080ti. DVD is essential for me and my retro game collection. A portable USB DVD drive could be nice but I have alreay an internal drive. It's also a good cup holder.
-
@adiwan Just saying that I would not fork over 10% extra money for a whopping 4% extra graphical horsies.
Also I melted my cupholder that way once.
No I was not trying to boil water with a USB drive in that one. I am still looking for a suicidal/voluntary USB for that one.

I hate it when there is a lack of subtitles for almost half a minute on a paid DVD, especially when I don't understand the spoken language (Japanese). Good thing I read the book and I can decipher some information from the context. The DVDs were "cheap" at least. If I bought a newer version on Blu Ray I'd cost me 7 times as much.

I issued a refund and Valve sent me a RMA return label. DO THEY REALLY WANT THAT EMPTY COLA BOTTLE?!?!?!?!?
Saturday, 07-Dec-19 14:08:59 UTC from web-
@adiwan Then they're gonna be all "Why the heck did you send us this?" and you can be like "That's what I wanted to know!"
-
@adiwan Maybe they want the DNA evidence that it was someone on-staff that drank the Cola and as such build a case that you are not lying.
On the other hand... Pretty sure the RMA combined with the original postage plus the costs of the controller at 90% off is less than the DNA kit.
Wait, I got lost in the sauce as they say... Why do they want that Cola bottle ?

Almost two days and Valve didn't respond to my support ticket regarding the stolen Steam Controller.

Today I learned there is a Sega Master System game called "Dragon papaya." I don't even know if it will pass the #fruitFilter, but it turns out it is *not* actually a spinoff of "Dragon Ball."

@drinkingpony no Controller, no Cola. Only empty bottle

@drinkingpony The "contents" https://i.imgur.com/6dkWLYJ.jpg

@adiwan Wait a minute, Who drank your cola ?
On a more serious note, I hope you are at least gonna get your money back. I mean, I somehow do not think there are any controllers left.

My steam controllers came in. One of the 2 boxes was all banged up and had repair-tape of the sender all over it. DoA, that story is going to be long, rough, and unpleasant.
Spend a bit of time on my working steam controller, and it is actually a nice thing. I poked a bit around on my Steam to area's where I do not go pretty often, being greeted with all sorts of soundbytes from GTA VC when I put on the music player on.
Say Goodnight Mr Diaz !
But I can see this being a real nice doohickey. Probably going to spend at least some time familiarizing myself with the device, and then if my 2nd one ever gets whole again probably load it up with all sorts of weird stuff. I already know where to begin actually.

Now the question if it will EVER work well on the Nintendo Switch. Hah, never. the actual buttons and stick are way too LDOS/RDOS to make it halfway comfortable for gaming sessions of over 5 minutes.Wednesday, 04-Dec-19 15:00:34 UTC from web-
@drinkingpony I was supposed to receive mine today but the delivery person is an asshole and didn't do their job.

GLS is the worst packet delivery service. I was at home and they didn't bother to ring the bell and they went straight to leave a note in my mail box to pick up the packet in the middle of nowhere at a kiosk.

I see so many repair and product review videos on youtube and I wonder if someone attempted to reconstruct fingerprints from these videos. I mean that the videos are so close to the fingers that you can see almost every detail in 1080p/2160p so it could be feasible to do that.
Saturday, 30-Nov-19 11:48:00 UTC from web-
@adiwan Yes, it can be done though 4K footage, however you need to go through it frame by frame and you need someone to make best guesses as this someone scetches the fingerprint.
The real problem begins once we get 8K, people at Defcon estimate that is when you can get bots to scrouge entire video's en-masse looking for fingerprints, Kinda like how face-recognision software works in current era.

I'm done. I've read about 6650 pages (average of 350 pages per book) within two weeks.
