Well, fuck a duckfucker. DirectX (or directdraw more specifically) has to be fubar, that's the only thing I can think of. I just spent hours scouring every trace of vid driver from the drive and OS, and a clean install of a freshly downloaded latest driver did bumpkiss. The advanced properties/troubleshooting tab has the changes button greyed out and says the driver doesn't allow changes (horseshit) and dxdiag shows it all to be 'working' as far as it's concerned, but the function to disable/change any of the DX crap (like DD) is gone. I'm about weary of all this, and if I weren't hamstering tonight for Vagabonds, I'd be backing up a few things and formatting AGAIN shortly. I dearly wish there were some way to force a goddamn reinstall of DX from MS instead of it just looking, thinking things are fine cause - yano - it's there, and telling me to fuck off. If EVERYTHING fucking flaked, I'd have gotten a new card - but I can play GTA4 for hours with no error. Apparently it doesn't use whatever's broken. Weary of: Google searches. Forum searches. Support searches. Life. | | Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 | | 9:22 am |
PS, with the 'integration' of DX into the operating system, there appears to be no way to force a reinstall. The updater just goes out onto the cloud, says "You already have that, loser!" and shuts down. I'm sort of convinced that something broke Direct Draw. I'm not really all that pumped about formatting again this soon. I hope Chrome doesn't suck for gamers. I'm about to become very weary with Windows. *edit: Yeah, I know I went out and got an external to help avoid this sort of clusterfuck. But that was before a) I ripped a lot of the CDs I inherited from my brother and b) I had to get a new HDD, which is three times the size of the external. Meh, mutter, grumble, bitch. It's small shit, but one day I'm going to start buying computers in pairs so I'll always be assured of having a working one. ,P | | 5:54 am |
Dear enterprise formerly known as The SciFi Channel, First, you suck. Bluntly put. You barely qualify as SciFi anything, and your weak-ass reality/occult horseshit lineup is balls. Second, still no forgiveness re: Farscape cancellation. DIE YOU FUCKS! DIE IN A FIRE! only, not really - but I do hope you stub a toe really bad and the nail falls off. Third, what is up with this SyFy bullshit? How many focus groups did you run that past, Binky? "Oo, we can copyright SyFy." COPYRIGHT MY FESTERING CROTCH BOILS. In conclusion, I have to ask you, how did something that started out with such promise end up as such crap? It's unprec.. oh, wait. MTv.

Meh. Couldn't sleep. Almost got to sleep, then my brain turned into the sleep Nazi. I hate Illinois Nazis. I wonder if Walt Disney was from Illinois? I've always loved you. Did errands. Bout to go to the line I guess. Should be open by the time I get there if I leave in fifteen. Prolly lose. As per usual. I hope it's humid as hell out, cause if not, I'm fixing to fall over dead. One trip through Wal-Mart and I was soaked through with sweat. That's not healthy. Realized when I stepped out of the shower that I was standing right where mom was when she fell and broke her hip. If I ever DO win the lottery? Not selling the house. But I'm moving. It's not good for me here, and you know how I feel about the damn doctor's office up the road. Shit. I may even leave the state. Move to California where the whacky weed is sort-of legal and get myself a vaporizer. And a Slurpee machine, cause fuck going to the Sev stoned. Maybe I'll track down Daign and talk cars. Last time I woke up I felt rode hard and put away wet. I hate waking up hung over without earning it. I guess I can be thankful that I didn't remember whatever dream it was that left me feeling half beaten to death. Trimmed the beard. I don't do that as often as I used to. I just think "Fuck that's a lot of bother and I ain't out to impress anyone" and put it off. Plus, given that my pattern baldness is about to go from 'natural mullet' to 'pigtails by default' I like to think I'm making up for what hair I've lost in numbers by increasing the volume. Things are dire here, but yano. Fuckit. Spare a thought for Raven. She's been quiet and could prolly use the feel-good vibes. Fuck. I'd better go. Goddamn shitsucking daylight bullshit. | | Thursday, July 9th, 2009 | | 7:48 pm |
Seriously, big bag of Twizzlers and they suck. It's a tragedy! Tragedy I tell you! They have the texture of old spitballs. | | Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 | | 4:46 am |
Strawberry Twizzlers suck. | | 2:21 am |
Well, all I can figure is that SP2 broke DX10, and since it's not uninstallable, rolling back to SP1 didn't do dick. Of course, having not been a Window Guru for a Very Long Time, that could be completely fallacious - in which case I'd more point at drivers.. but.. GTA4 runs fine. Fallout fails anywhere from 1 to 20 minutes in. I installed Empires at War, and even that fails eventually. Diagnostics packaged along with Norton's Basic say Direct Draw is wonky. I reinstalled DX10 from the MS website and it didn't do dick. So yeah, I think SP2 broke DX10. Either that, or my vid card is burning out - on everything except GTA4. :P | | Friday, July 3rd, 2009 | | 1:43 am |
Anyone else's PC based Fallout 3 go from a crash to desktop two or three times a week on Wednesday to HOLY SHIT FREEZE CRASH REBOOT MOTHERFUCKER EVERY THREE MINUTES on Thursday? | | Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 | | 12:33 am |
Auld Lang Syne
It's been a few days since 'the news' hit, and it's not a hoax (this time.) stilenet, including Stileproject and Camwhores, has gone up for sale. I received the news with mixed feelings, and I want to spew forth a huge, rambling eulogy about it.. but I'm going to make an effort to keep this short, even though it means I'll skip much, gloss over more, fail to sing praises where they're due, and bite my tongue raw, heh. I was stilenet's 'littlest admin' for quite a while. It wasn't a thing that I sought out, I just sort of fell into it over time. I made some friends, had some fun, learned a lot. In truth, I never expected it to end, but like all (mostly) good things.. If I miss anything about it - and I do, and will - it'll be the comeraderie from back in the day. Back when we helped shape the net into what it is, back when we set the standard, and every day was full of something fun and new. Not just the 'we' who admined the sites, but the 'we' who were involved. IRC, the portal, the forum, Blogwars, Lipstick FM (as much a part of things, to me, as any other) - a lot of folks who helped make the net fun never wore an admin hat. While it might sound like I'm saying "We did it all, you'd have no lolcats or Nerdcore without us, bitches!" you know I'm not - but the collective 'we' made an impact that still resonates through the internet today, and probably will for as long as it exists. As I walk away from it, the things I treasure most are the friends I made. The friends with whom I've fallen out of touch with, the friends with whom I'm Not Speaking With (apparently), and the friends that I love. It was a good run, and I love you guys. Well, some of you. Okay, a few of you. ,) I'm not going to entreat anyone to keep in touch or any of the rest of that trite bullshit. We'll stay close to the people we stay close to. Some will drift away or disappear. Some have, already. But the memories will stay alive, and now and again I'll slip into thoughts of better days, and if anyone looks at me, they'll wonder what my secret smile is all about. It's a pity they'll probably never know, isn't it? :) | | Monday, June 29th, 2009 | | 2:52 pm |

Alrighty, I'm a Fan
"Because it's got naked women in it. Look I like naked women, I'm a bloke I'm supposed to like them, we're born like that. We like naked women as soon as we're pulled out of one. Halfway down the birth canal we're already enjoying to view. Look, it is the four pillars of the male heterosexual psyche: we like naked women, stockings, lesbians and Sean Connery best as James Bond because that's what being a boy is and if you don't like it darling, join a film collective. Look, I want to spend the rest of my life with the woman at the end of that table there, but that does not stop me wanting me to see several thousand more naked bottoms before I die because that's what being a bloke is. When man invented fire he didn't say "Hey let's cook!" he said "Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark!" As soon as Caxton invented the printing press we were using it to make pictures of, weh-hey, naked bottoms. We have turned the Internet into an enormous international database of naked bottoms! So the story of male achievement through the age, feeble though it may have been, has been the story of our struggle to get a better look at your bottoms. Frankly, girls, I'm not sure how insulted you really ought to be." That. Is. Epic. | | Friday, June 26th, 2009 | | 3:14 pm |

Ugh, Coupling has a laugh track. I hope I can tune it out. | | 2:06 pm |
I just parsed a bookmark called 'KoL Skill Checker' as 'Kill the Cocksucker.' Need. Therapy. | | Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 | | 5:07 am |
*sings* Please buy that kid a hula-hoop. Cause if he asks you one more time I'll stab him in the faaace. Fucking chipmunk earworm motherfucker. | | Monday, June 22nd, 2009 | | 3:14 am |
Since I've tarded my karma, I'm hereafter referring to it as tardma. | | Sunday, June 21st, 2009 | | 11:06 am |
So, ya ever feel like the universe is looking down on you and it's saying "Hey, Binky? Remember that time at the food court when that tarded kid really wanted an ice cream and his parents were all 'NO YOU'LL JUST MAKE A MESS!' so you bought an ice-cream and then made a point of really, really enjoying it right in front of him? Yeah, so when you're all 'why, god, why?!' that's why. Asshole." only you never did that and probably never would've done that (at least after you were eighteen or so cause let's face it, teenagers are dicks) but that's sort of how you feel like things are going? Yeah, me too. | | 4:48 am |
