    So I just watched Watership Down on Netflix.

    - Feel that Big Wig was portrayed as "leader" material and Hazel as rookie.
    - CGI is too stilted, more so in he fog scene.
    - They try to want the part from books, like the rabbit returned to the warren via a car, yet shifted too much.
    - People say that the creators mixed up "rabbits" with "hare".
    - No Pipkin, even if his role was too minimal other than "young buck who helped Big Wig bury himself".
    - Imagining Professor X (Hazel's VA), Star Wars! Finn (Big Wig's VA) and Nux (Fiver's VA) facing against Mandarin (Woundworth's VA).

    Good start this morning; Amazon account was hacked. I have been having some emails for passowrd verificaiton for a few days - which I NEVER click on anything in, and I changed my passwords (having gone in through google as I always do); this morning, I came down to find a notification that the account's email had been changed to something ending in "ru."

    So I got on the blower to Amazon (who pout in on hold, cancelled everything - no orders had been placed or anything, so there as that), and of course, had to check everything - I found and did another spyware scan (nothing), so I went and checked by bank account and paypal (seemed fine - I took the precaution of using a different browser in case there's something with Waterfox, since no psyware showed up) and I have now had the clear from amazon and changed my passowrd AGAIN, this time having to take the tedious step of adding two-step verification, which is a massive nuisence and something I specifically didn't want to have to do.

    So we will see. I mean, there ain't much more I could do at this point...



    Also, the dog escape somehow this morning, and Mum got a phone call from some people (because she has her mobile number on the collar, rather than the name) who found her and brought her back. We have no idea how she got out.



    My brother-in-law's suprise party was today and was very beaqrly or ver actually spoiled at the last minute by Botty-Pain, who as soon as he saw his dad this morning said "it's your party tonight."



    Been that sort of day...

    So, is anypony World's Longest Deathstreak on Steam? 'Cos I generally have a policy of not accepting friend requests unless I actually know more than just a Steam name (I ask since they appeaer to be on a ponies in the playground group). (And being a little more paranoid than usal after the aforementioned Amazon incident...)



    Did the RPG session for the penultimate adventure for our most long-running Rolemaster party today.

    Only damage I suceeded in doing to the PCs was shooting my own favourite character/NPC in the arm in an ambush before they got their ridiculous shield/adreanal defences up.

    Sign of DM desparation that I was like "yeah, I'mma just take that as a win..."

    Well, I'm not World's Longest Deathstreak, but I did send you a friend request on Steam myself.
    If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.

    When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

    So today I learned that my family only exists because my great-grandmother(Maternal Grandfather's bio-mother) miraculously avoided being institutionalized after shewas diagnossed as Schizophrenic in the decade where you could geta lobotomy for teenage moodiness, being lippy, becuase your parents paid a man, or becuase your doctor felt like it.

    I am not sure if learning this on New Year's Eve is a good omen for the coming year or a bad one.

    Happy New Year Guys!

    Well, sort of. I have finally picked up my daughter's cold, am sitting in a sleeping bag feeling half-stunned because I am trying to get back into the correct sleep cycle for work tomorrow. And it's only 07:30! What more can the day bring?

    Still, at least I got some sleep last night after the unceasing barrage of fireworks (which for some reason started at 22:00 - did they move midnight forward or something?).

    They needed to get it out of the way so they could get started on the heavy drinking.

    Could be worse. Most of the News Years Eve live broadcasts quit at 21.00 this year.

    Now that I am feeling less yuk and slightly more charitable I suspect the 22:00 start was for children who had to go to bed well before midnight. It didn't help that I had a serious bout of insomnia the night before.

    Oh well, back to work tomorrow...

    At the start of summer, when I went looking for words to capture the feeling of being alone on the 8th floor at 7:30 am. Something about that moment is torn between mystique and mundanity.

    It's not mine, but I've always had a huge soft spot for office haiku and this is the one that caught the feeling perfectly.

    Thanqol: I'm more curious about your avatar though, because I think that's new too. Who drew it? It's a pegasus in black war gear covering all her body except the head, blue coat, long yellow hair flowing in curvy thin strips.

    It's a commission from Vulpessentia from some years ago. Character is Comet Kicker, an old Fallout: Equestria RPG character of mine. Pegasus Enclave soldier, expert in blowing things up from the air (cutie mark is a falling comet). Absolutely horrified by conditions in the Equestrian wasteland and very fussy when it comes to maintaining personal hygiene and fashion despite the post apocalypse. Believed in air striking ponies until they stopped being evil. Wound up going a little nuts - but, like, batman nuts - and wound up killing a giant crystal dragon, conquering a small nation and declaring herself the PRINCESS OF DEATH. Her new society, Sahar, was essentially a recreation of the old Pegatopian society, so very spata-esque but with a militant adherence to the virtues of harmony.

    That game went for years, one of the most memorable and storied RPGs I've played.

    Now, that's a bit annoying, over here, only the first season of it is on Netflx, and I'd kind of like to be able to watch more than random odd episodes (of season 2 at the latest).

    Mind you, we've had old Dangermouse for ages (my Dad's been watching it).

    Not sure if we have new Dangermouse or not, but eiher Dangermouse is awesome, so...



    Kind of underwhelmed at what's on Netflix UK, actually. Not even past season six of MLP, for example - first season only of Steven Universe; again, if they actually had more than one, on occasions like yesterday, I might even have tried watching some. I skimmed through the anime section and found nothing that grabbed me - aside from findig out Seven Deadly Sins has a movie, so that's something to watch once I'm done with the series before I go back to The Naruto. That said, whoever writes netflix summaries is abslutely AWFUL at their jobs, they're distinctly subpar for even not-very-good fanfic summaries - they tell you basically NOTHING.

    thats a shame..season 2 is better than season 1(hawkmoth actually comes uo w/ a good plan to throw the scent off of himself when they start getting too close)
    and season 3 the writers have really hit their stride so far(6 episodes left..they could still blow it)

    that said it was the old one i saw..though apparently they also have 50 episodes of the 2015 reboot

    and yeah..netflix summaries are often less than useful

    ---if you have Aggretsuko over there it may be worth a bit of your time..by the description i did NOT think i would like it but it was pretty good

    That's what tweaks me - I've seen, like a couple of episodes of season two and i'm like "this is way better and the plot is moving from just the moderately okay 'problem of the week' of most of season one, just a little bit."

    Both are good in their respective ways; honestly the most marked difference is in Greenback, who was a little more ponderous in the original series. (The 2015 reboot was done by the BBC and it shows.)

    Can we please get a little more on-topic?

    Fanfic: I have really enjoyed "If wishes were ponies". I never expected a HP / MLP crossover, especially one that uses normal muggle earth as well (i.e. -- not just a "Harry goes to Equestria" story) to be that good. And, ... After reading HP:MoR, I think canon Dumbledore really was that ... blind to history/tradition / not thinking of what else could be done.
    Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"
