Moby

Just had a bizarre and segmented dream that made absolutely no sense.

 

I am in an old city, there is a fighting tournament. Its me versus some asian old man.

He jokes around with his fancy techniques, but then gets surprised when I use karate to defeat him.

 

Then it cuts to me walking outside a more modern city. I am walking mindlessly towards one direction.

I have no idea where I am going, all I know is that some other people are walking along with me, sometimes I stop to let them catch up.

I think I knew one or two of them.

We reach a point where I see something weird floating in the sky. A first its disc shaped, then its a cube, then its... a house?

An upside down house.

Suddenly, the house starts to drop smaller versions of itself, like bombs.

One of them drops nearby, there is an explosion, chaos, people screaming and... its just a hologram.

Some sort of fancy promotion for some company. I couldn't understand the voice over, but people were playing with the hologram pieces of the house.

 

We walk a bit more and reach an energy tower, with several small stores under it.

Several of these stores were really close to live wires, I could feel the tingle when I got close.

Something tells me that something wrong is about to happen, so I use my angel wings (yes) to fly up high to see better.

I have a few attempts trying to avoid the wires, even though I know they can't hurt me (for some reason).

I give up, leave the tower (that is in a alleyway of the city) and fly up a bit.

I notice aliens are scheming something, so I pull a live wire off the tower.

 

It cuts to the aliens, that just look like people but in biker suits and helmets.

They talk something about gathering materials, and depart on smaller ships.

It cuts to one blonde old lady alien, that went to Siberia or some other place really cold, looking for Flipper, that is supposed to be a dolphin?

She swims around and finds an underwater cave. Inside an air pocket, she finds a bunch of garbage.

Doctor notes, two purple status, a few old toys and two PS1 memory cards.

She gets excited about the PS1 cards, and talks about having to examine them.

Suddenly, she is talking to someone else, that is there with her, even though she was alone at first.

 

Then she opens a door on that cave, that leads to a parking garage.

Someone sees her, and tells she couldn't be there.

The guy that is there with her shoots the other with these colored wires that comes out of his fingertips.

The wires stun the targets, then he does a hand motion to control them to tie people around.

He talks about how thankful he is that the lady alien taught him how to do that.

He continues to stun and tie everyone that notices them, until they enter the parking garage proper and notice a bunch of kids and their moms. Some kind of school trip.

Cuts to black, then we see all kids and moms tied with colored wires in a corner, wire guy and lady alien looting everyones bags.

The wire guy notices some new Cheetos flavor bag, and decides to trade the kids something else for it.

He offers several bags of other snacks, that he pulls out of his much smaller hoodie pockets.

The kids keep declining it, while I keep going "man, just take it, they are tied to a wall and can't stop you", but alas, that character wasn't me.

He asks what the kids want and a little girl explains to him she wants a DJ Phone that can create music.

 

Cut to black again, everyone is in a moving car.

Wire guy is showing the little girl to how create music with this blocky, but high tech phone.

He selects the beats, then adds the lyrics and the phone creates a hip hop song.

He gives the phone to the kid, that is happy, and they continue their journey (I guess the girl is part of the alien group now??)

While the car drives around, I could see several things passing by, which includes a pack of guide dogs (complete the handles) and a flesh themed child park.

End of story.

I mean, she is more famous than the main character.

I love when a stream I have in the background raids a random Vtuber and I get jumpscared by shit like this when I wonder where the hell is that noise coming from

 

Even if I want any of those, they will never sell it around here and importing one will cost like 5x because of a mix of import taxes, eletronic device taxes, dollar purchase taxes and currency exchange.

 

I saw the original Steam controller on a store once, but it was rather expensive considering the price of other controllers, now it costs 10x more.

sent ;)

 

now ill just need some time to gather my reference sheet for my OC

Wowie! And yeah it did get converted. I was going to screenshot it and Steam automatically reloaded the page before I was able to.

 

 

Send me the stuff and I will try to get it done during the weekend.

lol this was me a few ago with the maid outfit in the finals. Do you take steam gift cards?

If the value gets automatically converted to my currency, yeah.

I need 10 dollars for Warframe related expenses. Any wants to buy a commission? My prices are low.

Hey guys, check my new and completely original Bomb Nun OC.

 

 

And for something else, I decided to work on the Toon Lisa sketch I did 2 years ago.

 

 

Bill scams are one of the oldest around here. While usually they are spam email or spam SMS messages, I remember some people would get fake physical bills.

 

And like you said, the cost would be either similar or just low enough that people wouldn't bother checking if the thing is real.

fuck the dyslexia is spreading because I read "bomb nun," does that mean I have to design a bomb nun now

Shit that is a good idea, I will now steal your dyslexia.

While reading something, I had a dyslexic moment and read "Bonbon" as "Bombbun" and that kept me thinking.

A bonbon bomb? A bomb bun? A bomb bunny? A bomb that is a bunny? A bunny that is a bomb?

Then I made two new characters.

 

 

Kay Bun and Bon Bun, the bomb elementals.

Windows 10 support is "over", so I decide to upgrade to the ESU version with massgrave.

 

Upgrade from Home to Pro, no problem.

Try to install ESU, gives an error, Windows not updated.

Ok, just install the updates then.

Error. 0x800736cc. Ok? What does that even means?

Delete update files, try again. Same error.

Do Windows Repair. No errors found.

Do Dell Assist. No errors found.

Run sfc. Corrupted files found. Use DISM to repair.

Run DISM, can't fix files. Error 0x800f081f.

Search around. DISM can't fix, gotta do inplace upgrade.

 

Download Windows 10 ISO. Wrong version, needs 64 bit (That one is on me, didn't notice the numbers)

Download right version, reinstall Windows.

Install ESU, works normally.

 

Try to install new update. Error. 0x8007000d.

Look around, no one can help.

Try to install update again, works.

 

Restart, video driver was disabled due "unverified signature".

Disable driver, enable back. Works again.

 

This whole thing made me notice something, fucking Windows Update corrupted system files LONG ago, never bothered to warn me or fix it. I remember one day it downloaded and installed updates without asking, froze on boot, then undid the update.

I now wonder if every time this PC froze during boot was related to a faulty update.

 

Even then, I am not moving to 11.

Microsoft can pick their PC bricking AI generated code and choke on it.

The true spooky is the queue times this year lel. The only silver lining with the seasonal updates is that they're temporary and the matchmaker goes back to a somewhat useful state with just the non-seasonal maps, which of course will slowly not be much better off if they keep adding new maps permanently from the seasonal. Map bloat is real.

The weird thing is, the longest queue I had was 10 minutes or so, on one of the last maps, I think it was Perks. I usually got a map in 5 minutes, although I often was getting into a Virginia server even though I am from South Brazil.

Boy do I have the mod for you.

Might be interesting, but for me the best TF2 era was 2014 Smissmas.

This ended in my youtube side bar.

 

 

"And first person stealth horror is game design on fucking easy mode. All you need to do is smash the game over button if the pursuing enemy so much as touches the player. Pac-Man perfected this formula forty years ago (...)"

 

Yahtzee murdering that one Freddy game.

Honestly the general halloween experience is pretty terrible since the maps are on a spectrum ranging from "The worst gamemode ever on a poorly designed map with stupid gimmicks" to "an acceptable map at the very least still ruined by the base halloween gimmick of 'doubly random crits' if not other things"

 

The mask thing though, I definitely think that's just an issue of everyone that cared already having it, and anyone who would need to get it nowadays not even knowing it exists. It is absolutely absurd though. Honestly I'm surprised they at least had the bright idea to not force people to play halloween maps in fucking sequence for once, what an absurdly stupid thing especially considering there are like forty maps now

Oh, I completely agree. The maps fucking SUCK rotten ass.

I definitely want to play the same map, but this time there are instakill bombs everywhere, instakill trains coming in FOUR DIRECTIONS, people are throwing spell grenades around like its TFC and that dumb Kunai spy just gave the other team free crits.

 

Whoever did Devilcross (Doublecross) is a moron.

Bombs everywhere, spells everywhere, ghost train from 4 directions, pits everywhere, the intelligence only has one entrance because the other is a lava pit that only a few classes can bypass, 15 second respawns AND THE MAP DOESN'T HAS A TIME LIMIT.

So its an eternal stalemate because both teams have like 3-4 engineers camping the intelligence, both teams don't have neither enough people nor are coordinated enough to push, there are 2 snipers camping the sightlines and the people actually trying to do something are dead because they got hit by a flame spell or some shit and now have to wait 15 seconds to try again, and even if they do get to the intelligence, there are 4 sentries that they can't destroy.

After playing TF2 again since forever, I really have to say I wish old TF2 was still here.

Aside the gameplay feeling rather worse, all the community severs I went being dead and people seem to just play one loadout, the halloween event is so stingy with items.

 

I remember back then playing on Community servers and finding a bunch of stuff, trading away items I had repeats for stuff I didn't had.

Now they are limited AND untradable.

Hell, we even had the class costume transmutation, now not even that, its completely random.

 

Out of the 64 halloween packages and 19 transmutes, I got 16 pieces I didn't had. I am still missing 34 pieces, and all I can do is wait until next year.

How the hell are people supposed to get the Saxton Hale mask? There are 237 possible costume pieces, including the masks. Its about a 3.8% chance of finding ONE mask per package and you need all 9 without repeats, and you can't trade them.

That chance drops down to 0.42% for a specific mask.

Same happened to me when I found out I had a game I'd rather not disclose on GOG, when I was looking for a torrent.

I think I got the whole Might and Magic bundle for $5 a few years ago and only tried a bit of 1.

 

Edit:

 

Talking about the bundle, something is wrong here.

 

 

I am missing ONE game, why is the price so much higher depending of where I check?

 

 

I often forget how good was the Regular Show soundtrack

Owner of Carpe Fulgur has passed away, and the company is closing.

I guess that means no Recettear remaster.

 

Fuck.

What's this referencing?

Aspyr is releasing a Deus Ex "Remastered", which improves the graphics from early PS2 to late PS2.

 

Will you sign my petition or UNATCO will bring you back, in a body bag?
