Re: The Complaints Thread >:(

[Tryne, the Time Traveler]

Ah, no worries, Kiru. It happens. *pats*

I'm sorry too that you're getting that sort of negative vibe on another message board. I hope that it's just you though and not really how people perceive you.

[Ragter the junior greeter]

I don't know how I forgot about this thread on the 2nd of September...

My complaint is that, in my College English class, we have to carry around 4 books. Now, granted, 1 is small and another is moderately sized, but the other 2 are fricking gigantic.

[Tryne, the Time Traveler]

Wow, yeah, that would be really annoying, Ragter. >.< I swear, someday...ebook reader. *shakes fist at all the massive school books*

Our last day off is nearly over. O_O

[Kathryn Lacey]

I don't want to work tomorrow. ^;_;^

I want to read more books than I'll be capable of reading fast enough to even put a dent in my list.

I want Christmas to come so I can be with Jonathan...

I want too many things that either aren't coming true or aren't coming true fast enough... ._.

Four all the time?

Bummer. You should ask the instructor, if you haven't already, if you always need all the books. I'm sure they'll be sympathetic to the idea of not wanting to always hump all the books around like that.

Of course, I had a bad habit of often showing up to my courses with just a notebook and sometimes got caught out of turn without my books for discussions because I was in a lecture mode. I was a huge note-taker.

I complain about being a nice person in a world where it is no longer a socially acceptable attribute.

Hah, most people see it as a sign of weakness.

I complain that impoliteness is not a capital offense, as it was back in the day when you could duel over insults.

[Gadreille]

Yea, I guess that makes sense. It's kind of true in a way. Being nice never wins over being mean.

Still, I stand by my ways. *shrug*

[Kathryn Lacey]

It is socially acceptable. It's just not a social norm any more. :: hugs ::

[Gadreille]

:hugs:

I complain about how nerve grating it is to have a loud horror movie playing in the next room. No matter how not scary the movie actually is, random heartwrenching screams tend to annoy me after a while...

[Kathryn Lacey]

I don't blame you. All of the horror movie screams are exactly the same. If you listened to them all at once, it would sound like some terrible radio frequency going berserk just like if you screetch as loud and as high as you can as long as you can, and you start hearing that weird sound that accompanies it.

[Guest]

My complaint is that I can't get Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" out of my head and it's been running all day up there.

[Kathryn Lacey]

Aww. You poor thing, Heyseuss. I truly do feel bad for you. I hate when that happens to me. A good remedy is to listen to something else that's catchy to try to replace it. If you listen to a different catchy song enough, you won't have just one stuck in your head for so long. They start to cancel one another out.

[Ysopet]

I complain that you can't argue with stupid people, because stupidity has no limits. I complain that I can't hold in my anger, and my tongue is baited into loosening too easily. I complain that there are actually stupid people in this world, and that, because of them, the smart people have to run around trying to fix their mistakes. I complain that I can never articulate my thoughts properly. And I complain that I've let myself get so angry I can't just sit down, calm down, and write like I'm supposed to. And I'm complaining that I can't listen to good advice... Sorry Heyseuss. I tried.

[Weiss]

Silvone, you should listen to some techno. If you can stay angry while listening to techno music, you should consider anger counseling. Even if you don't like techno, it still works. For that matter, get up and dance while listening to techno, and your anger will fade away. Either you'll be enjoying yourself too much to be angry, or you'll feel so completely ridiculous that you're dancing to such absurd music (or dancing so absurdly to music) that you'll forget having been angry to begin with.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I've recommended it to a couple of people (the first time as a joke) and it has yet to fail!

On my end, I complain that it's so hard to find a healthy snack food these days. I'm not a big fan of overly sugary foods, and I can't stand snacks that have any kind of creme filling, because I think they taste like crap. I also don't like uncooked vegetables (like carrots and celery) even with ranch dressing or other toppings. That leaves me, to my knowledge, with fruits and peanuts. Those just aren't very satisfying, though. Seriously, I'm stuck!

I used to eat meatballs as a snack. If I got hungry between meals, I'd nuke a handful of meatballs and eat them with a random sauce, since they're good with just about anything. That was satisfying, but it's not particularly healthy.

Thus, I complain that meatballs aren't healthy enough!

[Ysopet]

Nah, the Techno Viking comes to mind when I even think about doing that. Definite turn off. That is one crazy man... And I can't listen to music anyway. My son and wife are both asleep.

I wholely agree with that suggestion. Aw, but the Techno Viking is amazing, Silvone. (But I can understand not being able to listen to music because of your family sleeping.) I'm sorry though. I know what you're probably talking about, and if it's any consolation, you've brought up some excellent points and are defending your side exceptionally.

As for your complaint, Weiss, I completely know what you mean. Onenitedrive and I also have that problem with snack foods. Well, all the foods we eat are typically low in fat (from lunches to dinners to things like milk to cheese to hotdogs and yogurt, etc.). That's too bad that you aren't into uncooked vegetables too. I eat a lot of carrots with low fat dip. Onenitedrive is the same way too though -- he's not huge into sugary foods like I am. He eats a lot of baked and low fat chips though.

Lol meatballs? That does sound satisfying though. The thing about low fat foods, as we've come to discover, is that, while they may be low in fat and thus healthier for you, you can usually eat a lot more of it than you could something that's worse for you, since it's not as filling.



I complain that Tony goes back to work today and I go back to school. He's showering right now, since he had to get up about a half an hour earlier than usual, since his boss wants them to be there earlier on their first day back. (He works in a warehouse.)

[Guest]

Sorry Heyseuss. I tried.

Hah, I understand. But here's some consolation;

CRITIC, n.
A person who boasts himself hard to please because nobody tries to please him.

There is a land of pure delight,
Beyond the Jordan's flood,
Where saints, apparelled all in white,
Fling back the critic's mud.

And as he legs it through the skies,
His pelt a sable hue,
He sorrows sore to recognize
The missiles that he threw.

[Kathryn Lacey]

Weiss, have you ever tried rice cakes? If you buy the Quaker Rice Cakes, they have recipes for healthy snacks that really aren't fattening. They're quite satisfying, too.

[Weiss]

Oh? I haven't ever tried those, because they looked like something that would be completely tasteless. I'll have to look into it, though. Thanks for the suggestion!

Since it's 5:30 a.m. and my insomnia is going strong, I'll complain that I require sleep at all. Seriously, why can't I just function 24/7/365 without rest? It'd be easier than struggling with screwed up sleeping schedules...

[Kathryn Lacey]

Well, they have rice cakes with flavoring on them. My favorite is the chocolate one. There are plenty of healthy recipes on the internet that involve rice cakes that you could find to add flavor to them, too, and they're rarely even over one hundred calories.

[Kalon Ordona II]

Almonds and Raisins, Weiss. Almonds and Raisins.
Try it; it'll blow your mind.
I used to eat those all the time. The combination is made of win. Can't get over it.
Also very healthy.
We used to keep them in those little air-tight jars with the little wire locky things.
(Excuse my irredeemable vernacular, I beg.)

Anyway, I complain that I take too long to post, when I'm posting in character. Maybe I don't type fast enough or something....

[Kathryn Lacey]

I also take a really long time to post, but I like to multitask while I make posts because it helps me think. If I go too fast, I forget things I wanted to add.

[Kalon Ordona II]

I see. I suppose there are different methods for different people.
I wonder how everyone else goes about it....
though I think we'll take it to the Chatterbox thread or something. ^_^
Unless we complain about it.

I complain that people have different ways of posting!

[Kiru Naka]

YAY More compiler issues!
Damn, this GDK I got works fine code wise with C++, and it uses the DarkBASIC commands, so I can jump in and almost know what I was doing...
...it works fine... till I try to compile it! Oh my god... it just... won't... work... I'm done for now, I can't deal with this right now... I'll work on it tomorrow but... god. Believe me I've tried to fix it, dealing with swapping files form a previous version of DXSDK (which it relies on,) to just a complete downgrade. Now I'm getting more errors... and no, they're not because I downgraded it, thank you for asking though, I'm not that stupid.

It seems the compiler only works if it's the right day of the year, you're not running vista and you're wearing green.

[Hello Danger]

WRITERS BLOCK!

[Tryne, the Time Traveler]

I hate not being able to write well when you're wanting/needing to, Danger. D: Hope it clears up soon!


I NEED a new video game. I'm never needed a game so bad, and I'm not sure why. I've been re-reading the Harry Potter books in my free time, and I'm on the 5th one currently, but I can't just read in my spare time. I want to draw too, but ugh. I can't ever do that hardly. I have to REALLY be in the mood (which, to me, translates to mainly being able to use the right side of my brain, which doesn't seem to occur often). So, yes. Video game. I want to play the first Uncharted game before the second comes out. I needs the money though. Blah.

[Kædai]

No. Screw Uncharted. Get Batman: Akham Asylum. Trust me. It's SOOOOOOOOO worth it! =D

[Kiru Naka]

@ Fate

I heard Ane was trying to get you into S4. If you need a game, this is the perfect game, especially if you're like me and can mindlessly get stuck in infinitely good combat and gameplay, not really caring about level design or story.

Though the levels aren't badly designed at all. I like them.

Seriously, I've thought about forking out another 50 bucks for Prototype, but instead I bought some AP for my unique setup in S4 (that I don't snipe with) and played away.
Though the gameplay element is a reason why I can play Star Ocean for 12 hours on end, while I can't play Final Fantasy IV, for the DS, for 10 minutes on end. Then again, FFIV just dumped me into everything without me knowing what was going on.

I don't know the rules but I'm pretty sure I have to complain again. Behold: this one will suck.
I believe the Railgun got nerfed in S4 again. Headcrit damage is still the same but it does considerably less damage than before if I say, hit my target in between the legs (it's not my fault those -funny- shots are what I remember most!)

[Kathryn Lacey]

I complain that Kalon wants us all to be robots who are all the same.
