I didn’t get much sleep this morning, although on the bright side I did fall asleep quickly when I went to bed instead of falling asleep just a few hours before waking up. I’m less groggy that way.
I had a very busy morning/afternoon. Sold lots of streaming devices, some mp3 players a couple phones and Rokus. Also had a few people wanting me to go out with them. Wanting me to go out for coffee, or wondering what my days off are… Too bad I hate coffee and never know when my days off are. Oh, and too bad I don’t really want to date customers or employees. Which is pretty much everyone in town. People think I’m insane for keeping those as my principals, but I like playing it safe. In this day and age it just takes one thing to mess things up and you could lose your job, not to mention make me look unprofessional. I’ve seen guys n girls come around while people are working and sometimes you can tell it can be very distracting.
Besides. It would take at least an army to put up with me. :v In some ways being antisocial can be a good public service.
Finally had a proper weekend
I didn’t get to go out and treat myself to anything, but I did relax quite a bit. Banning asshats from my servers, the usual skyrim and setting up an email address and a blog for someone. They’re new to blogging and I can tell they’re going to be needing quite a bit of advice. But hey, it’s always a bit bumpy when you’re starting something new.
I also did some shopping. 😀 I have some paint and straps coming in the mail for my semi secret Halloween project. I needed to get more blue metallic testors paint for my mask, and also opted to get some red metallic. It’s been fun working on it, I might even expand the costume a bit more next year. This mask looks too nice to use just once. Unfortunately I probably won’t share public pictures because it does expose quite a bit of my face. :v
I should probably get some sleep. I have a long day tomorrow and it starts early. I’ll definitely be taking my Laptop for some fun lunch time shenanigans.

Tune in next week when a cat marries a toaster. :v
OverlordTomala and friends try Skyrim Mod: “Tamriel Online”
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67038/?
It’s a multiplayer mod, a very buggy one at that. But it seems to hold the most promise so far, that and lots of players running around in their undies…
I think I awoke to the end of the world
When I woke up today I thought I was in one of my bizarre dreams. Gay Marriage is legal in all states, the stars n bars are still quickly becoming an endangered flag species, and Obamacare is official.
All that’s left is to throw in world peace and it’ll be good. :v
So, about my weekend… Part 2
I got a call from my old section today. They’re down two people due to sick calls, and have been getting called to go down and check like crazy. So it looks like I’ll be making some overtime money today… I’m happy and kinda bummed at the same time since I did make some plans to just go out and enjoy myself. But I still have tomorrow off, and my next days off are actually much closer. Although that could change too…
The way the store is being run is ridiculous now. We’re down 56 people and can’t hire anyone new because it’s handled at the corporate level, and they can only see that we need 3 positions filled. Our store director hasn’t bothered to correct the information. No one from the other stores are wanting to apply, and the remaining people that we do have are being copious amounts of overtime. I seriously don’t get it. If they hired more people there would be less overtime, and the company would actually save money.
Either way I’ve made it clear that I’ll only help other departments if I get overtime. I’ll get paid more and it’ll hit them where it hurts, their bonus checks.
The weekend is here, time to plot evil things… like going out to lunch.
Finally got to my weekend. 😀 The weather is supposed to be nice for the next couple days. So I plan on working on my painting project, and I might be going up river… maybe even go out for some sushi. A new sushi place opened up and I went there last week to celebrate my belated birthday kinda. They make really good sushi! I had what was called the ninja roll. The inside was filled with spicy tuna, nori, etc, and on the outside it was a nice panko crust. I also had that with some unfiltered Oregon sake. It was a nice milky white with a nice flavor. It was good chilled.
The new Batman isn’t really loved on PC right now.
The release of Arkham Knight is all kinds of fucked up right now. It was ported to PC by 12 people.
According to Batman: Arkham Knight’s credits, it appears Iron Galaxy Studios only had 12 of its employees working on the PC port of the game. Considering how ambitious of a game Arkham Knight is, having just 12 people working on the game seems a bit on the small side if you ask us. And after experiencing the many issues the PC version of Arkham Knight has, as well as reading complaints from a wide variety of Steam users, we have a feeling this amount of people just wasn’t enough to provide the kind of product customers expected.
That would explain why it’s so poorly optimized. Hell even the console version has ambient occlusion and other features built into it. This is a Batman title, a popular title that would obviously generate a shit ton of money, as have the previous games. Why would you hire a team the size of an indie to tackle this?
Update
Forgot to mention that Arkham Knight has been taken off Steam (or rather the ability to purchase it). Probably due to all the negativity, and the fact that you can get refunds now. 😛
