WarKitty's Feline Frenzy Random Banter #216

[Rawhide]

Yeah, it seems to have been set for "17 years from now" but meant to be set for "(20)17"

I'm fairly certain it's meant to be this year.

ION: This game will be released before the apocalypse (cache)

[DraPrime]

Fixed Shatnered that for you.

Thank you for...that...correction.

Watch Lost in Space sometime.

I think in terms of prop budgets for classic Sci-Fi, it goes The Twilight Zone (which was often helped by not using any special effects), Lost in Space, classic Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, then ToS.

I hate to say this, but the only familiarity I have with Lost in Space is the terrible film adaptation from the 90's.

edit: Wat.

[LaZodiac]

(I've been so thoroughly distracted from gaming as a whole that last two games I've found time to play have been Undertale and Long Live the Queen. I'm way out of it.)

ION: A Sheep may be coming to visit in one week. And it'll even stay for Christmas!

I mean for games to play those are pretty good ones. Have you beaten Long Live the Queen yet?

Oooh, cool! Hope you two have fun

[MoonCat]

Given that I am a completionist, I doubt I will ever actually beat that damn game.

Then again, Undertale may have cured me of completionism pretty thoroughly in its own right, so...


ION: Cabaret. Cabaret is also a good musical from the last century. And now Hedwig and the Angry Inch vids are spilling into my YouTube tab collection. Also, I got tickets to see that one-time screening of Allegiance that's happenng across the country on Tuesday!!

IOON: I have two finals tomorrow (which is technically today), one in Drama, and one in Greek. I am not looking forward to sight-translating Xenophon, so I would take any good vibes that are on offer.

[DracoknightZero]

When it came to Undertale i accidentally did the neutral ending in a passive run because i missed a scene that you have to backtrack for. Apparently thats the best way of doing it if you are hunting for the different endings to get 2 in 1 without having to reset a 3rd time.

I didnt have the heart to do a genocide run though, pluss i was already bad enough at the games combat mechanic that it would cause more fustration than it was worth.

The thing you have to backtrack for doesn't actually show up until you get the neutral ending at least once.

Makes sense, on both counts. And good luck with those finals, they sound difficult! But you can do it!

[FinnLassie]

Welp, had I read the 50 page material that was part of our exam preparation, I would've probably passed this exam. Completely froze due to one word... thankfully checking the meaning back home gave me no revelation, so no regret in the whole "I KNEW THIS TERM BUT AH I FORGOT IT". Because I had no clue what it meant, for real! Ahahahah!

Couldn't participate in Swedish due to migraine. Not cool.

Oh dear, that sucks...

You have my sympathies. Hopefully your migraine at least has gone away?

Oh jeez...feel better soon Finn. Sucks that that happened...but getting one word wrong shouldn't utterly fail you, right?

Yup, it does. And thanks for the good words, I'm feeling better now. The migraine had already passed when I got to the other exam which started at 17:00.

Na, I failed the test. There were three questions (define 4 words, a half page essay and 1-2 page essay) and you had to answer to three, and I just couldn't get myself to write anything on the last one - majorly because I did not know what a key word in that assignment ment. It was a word that was one of the four we had to define... Welp. Can't wait for new years.


... on top of all this I'm starting to have some rather crappy times with my internship. The place I was supposed to go to suddenly said that they can take me in September, but I'm starting my specialisation courses then so bleh and meh (and I'm supposed to start my last internship in December). So now I gotta contact another couple of places that were offered to me and if all of that fails I'll just... I dunno. Beg myself into the Finnish Scouts and Guides office.

[enderlord99]

I just discovered what may be the best crossword-puzzle ever.

It also may not be, but it's at the very least a really clever one.

Ah...yeah, that sounds awful, just in general. I'm off work tomorrow if you wanna hang out and throw garbage at each other or something.

[enderlord99]

If you want to greet someone named Jack, and you're at the airport or on a plane, the correct thing to say is "Hello."

Or "salutations!"

Or "'sup?"

Or something in another language.

Never "Hi"

[Comrade]

Would anybody here who happens to be fluent in Danish be open to chatting with me from time to time (via text) to help me develop fluency in the language? I have reading materiels and things like that but being able to actually talk to somebody else in the language (outside of my weekly lessons, that is) would be very helpful. (Wasn´t sure if I should post this here or as its own thread, figured I´d play it safe and just put it here.)

[MoonCat]

I have survived my finals on Drama, Greek, and Volcanoes!
Of note, if I can go through the rest of life without hearing a professor say 'don't worry, it's not communicable' during an exam, I will be a happy dude.
Also, Greek is an evil, evil language and sight translating Xenophon is haaaaaard.

I'm going to see Allegiance this evening, and then I have a day's grace from finals before one, last, hellishly early exam on Classical Mythology.

Huzzah! How where volcanoes involved?

And...what does "it's not communicable?" mean, exactly?

Hope you enjoy your steamy dystopian teen novel movie! I forget is this one of the Maze Runner ones or the "everyone gets put in a club of character trait" one?

[Lethologica]

Is there a difference? If there is, it's the latter.

[Qwertystop]

Guessing a geology class.

Assumed in reference to a highly visible illness.

[Draconium]

As someone who has read both series (they weren't terrible, but weren't particularly memorable either), I can attest that it is indeed the former. That is, unless something happened in the later Maze Runner books - I never got past the second.

Huh, when MoonCat said Allegiance, I thought she meant this?

[LaZodiac]

There is! I uh...think?

Both good guesses.

Think you mean latter there based on the context.

Right I forgot MoonCat actually has taste. Sorry!

That's what the class was about.

Drama grad student professor, who is basically incapable of acting professional while still being horrifically pretentious and demanding we treat him like he's smart, has been sick for more than a week. During the final he stopped us in the middle to say that if he has to leave he asked someone down the hall to come in -which was a stupid way to let us know, because then if he isn't sick enough to leave, he's stopped us in the middle of a final for no reason, whereas if he would've had to have left, he could've told the person he arranged it with to take over to tell us that. Part of that was him complaining about how sick he felt, including that memorable phrase.

This is the theatrical piece about Japanese internment camps.

Huh, when MoonCat said Allegiance, I thought she meant this?

Ah, yup, you got it. I just got back. I havne't cried this hard since Inside Out.

In other news, I found out this evening that my brother SAW IT LIVE and NEGLECTED TO TELL ME. I could stab him in the face sometimes, really.

Right I forgot MoonCat actually has taste. Sorry!

GEORGE TAKEI AND LEA SALONGA

Aaah, okay. Seems...oddly specific!

Jeez, that sounds awful.

Yeaah...sorry! Guess that outs me on that one

Hell yeah Takei! I don't know who that other person is but I bet she's great.

We should get together and do some stuff, for old times sake.

Well, the official title is "Living with Volcanoes,' I suppose that's vaguer?

I am so happy this quarter is one final away from being done. Too many credits, too much to do, and this one professor.

Eh, not everyone can be obsessed with musicals.

Remember that Les Miserables craze we went through like, three years ago? She played Eponine in the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast Concert.

Let's see if you can get Sheep to give you a tour of my house behind my back.

Something tells me that it has a companion course called "Dying with Volcanoes".

One day you'll be able to stop overworking yourself. Then you can just do whatever.

I...only ever so slightly remember that.

That'd be fun! If creepy, potentially? I don't know. Point is, hanging out is a fun thing to do.

[FinnLassie]

Fell on cold, icy tarmac with my bike today. The left side of my body is reeeally starting to feel things, I have huge bruises forming on both my thigh and elbow (which also has a large bump). Gladly I had my helmet on, hitting my head on the road was really close and had I hit my head I'd probably not be here writing this stuff right now...

All of you people and you actually knowing others. Bah. _{That's what I get for living on an island at the edge of the world continent.}

In other news: Exams all done... and hopefully I passed. I think I did, at least. Now to decompress, and catch up on all the stuff I've missed over the past few days. I know at least there are some numbers I need to track...

Oh jeez! Hope you recover soon, that sounds awful. I'm glad you're okay though. Thank goodness for safety.
