I'm in a not so high mood right now. Well, this day has been just perfect, not. My submission to play a game at AGDQ 2014 was rejected, I'm not allowed to play games or do almost anything on the computer because of my grades and how much more is expected of me because of my age (I technically shouldn't even be on the forum right now), I wasn't able to focus today in school, the only thing I can do is watch TV and do homework. And homework takes up more time that I can't even watch TV alot.
I quit TASing.

I remember 3 bad things this year, all related to a certain online game: 1. I got scammed on for 170M GP. 2. I lost my Blue H'ween also (which I had bought when it was 50M). 3. I got banned from RuneScape for 24 hours And that should be it. I haven't gotten another rare since then because I don't know which one to buy.

My laptop's fan needs the center bearing re-oiled, but it's set up such that it would probably be less hassle and less expensive to just buy another of the same model on eBay and swap the hard drive.

My basement flooded about two weeks ago. We had the carpet drying nicely, nothing was ruined except a few small paper things I didn't need... And what happens? Mildew starts growing. We probed a bit and found it inside some walls, too. It's finally to the point where we've got it under control; bleached the walls to get rid of the growth, the dehumidifier gets emptied every 6-7 hours... I'm grateful the flooding wasn't worse. No electronics were ruined, only a few things were lost... Unfortunately, I had a huge pile of clothes just inundated with mildew, and some of them are extremely hard to wash; some are dry-clean only and expensive to do so. Luckily, those particular items are just old uniforms I was holding onto for memories, so I can pitch them without any problem.

Bad days allow you to appreciate the good days better.

It’s hard to describe in words how deeply I hate my 3G internet connection: They call this fast wireless internet. Well, the pages open quickly. (hint: imagine how I upload youtube videos)

For some reason, my blog is receiving tons of Japanese spam. So much that when I open «spam» section of WordPress’s ACP, the browser suggests me translating the page from Japanese language. Despite the fact that Japan is not the world’s most spamming country. Actually, only a few years ago the most spamming countries were Russia and USA (according to SFS’s spam map, but recently China took strong leadership.

Were those mostly legitimate comments or adverts?

They were pure advertisement and SEO messages — otherwise the filter wouldn’t block them. It looks like this. I am not surprised about amounts of the spam at all… I am a web developer and once I made a test website where one can post comments without any restrictions and without captchas. Just a few months were enough for the database of that website to consume all available space on my company’s server, and I had to delete it. So the question isn’t about spam amounts — the question is why all of those messages are Japanese :) Btw, the IP addresses are mostly Chinese.

I had a bullshit ruling made against me Ebay last night. Their policies give sellers no rights or protection.

I hate my hometown. Everyday electricity outages with almost no exceptions. After the freezing rain in January, my ADSL cable is damaged, and the ISP is ignoring my reports. In fact, they even don't know how I am connected -- I have two lines from them, one for the telephone and the other one for network. They disagree, they say such a configuration would cost incredibly much and they never use separate ADSL line. I am wondering how the hell they work if they can't even remember the way they connected me after my claims about unstable link. By the way, the second line (telephone) is completely broken. I wish I could live in a city, but disability of my mom and her total disagreement to move to a city makes it impossible...

I used to LOVE battle.net's games like WoW, StarCraft and Diablo, until it decided to do all kinds of mothershitting bullshit to me that they say "will be fixed shortly". Allow me to say how deeply I hate it: I hate Battle.net now so deeply, that the livid, hellish hatred buried abysmally down into my soul is stronger than that of how much everyone hated a certain german man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler) for killing many many many people for no reason. My hatred for them is so fiery, boils so hotly, seeths so grindingly, trembles so quakily, and burns with such warlike fury, that I'd have to recruit millions of armed-to-the-bitter-skin soldiers and order them to fire the most powerful guns in the world into the air to visually express my satanic anger for Battle.net. I have reverse nightmares in which I violently kill their employees and eat their bodies, I have visions where I see their heads on pikes, I daydream that they bleed out from sheer depression, their blood flowing to the ground like a waterfall of vanity, I see them in my minds eye, burning in the hating fires of Hell in bleeding wounds so painful, so agonizing that they wail and bellow to the blackened sky above, crying for an ounce of mercy, praying for a merciful death that never comes, weeping for a hero to whisk them away to safe haven, begging for a dressing to heal their wounds. I think of their failures, I dream of their sorrow, I daydream of the way they'll one day wallow and suffer in pity for their slated choices and mistakes, and I know that one day, for all the things they've done to all who partake in them, not just me, one day, they will witness their bloody history repeat itself unto them and they will cry out "Forgive me, Mother, but I have failed your legacy!!" on their skinned knees, reaping their own flesh from the deep, painful claws of depression that lash at their feelings!! Suffer one day, Battle.net!! PHEWWW!!! Sorry I had to put all that there. I know that isn't really necessary here, but this topic does refer to bad days and Battle.net has done a lot of shit to me and my stepfather that has made us more than livid (we see red just thinking about them), and I just felt like I needed to get this out of my system cause my mother doesn't like me doing that in person (I have a mental disability that makes me get wicked sometimes). Please don't kill me....[/u][/i]

Do not upgrade to windows 8.1 without making a restore point. Yeah I've lost 2 days trying to fix it and finally decided to reformat my whole system and install a pirate windows because the original made my brand new notebook unusable.

There was a thing called "Mega May", where GB Mega Man games are released on the 3DS Virtual Console games. Today, Mega Man Xtreme was released... but only in North America. Not in the UK. I'm so angry and pissed that I'm not allowed to buy the game legitly, with the 3DS Virtual Console's Restore Point feature that helps me complete the game, all because of where I live! What's coming over me!? Why am I so angry!?
