Off Topic / Thin gray text on white backgrounds.

« on: November 24, 2015, 02:31:24 AM »

(from the calendar program)

This is total ass. Companies stop making your GUIs so loving LIGHT and your fonts so GODDAMN THIN. Thankfully I have the knowledge on how to convert half the programs and websites I use to have a dark interface. My complaints aren't even petty considering this design is unreadable to anyone with poor eyesight, which I'm guessing is a pretty huge percentage of the people of Earth. Who even thought that thin light-gray font on a blinding white background was a good idea? I'm not going to sleep well until every GUI in existence has a background that is 50% gray or darker.

tl;dr: designers with their heads up their asses shouldn't be, um, designing things for accessibility.

Off Topic / What is the most irresponsible thing you've eaten

« on: November 15, 2015, 03:52:28 AM »

In the past week I ate an entire log of cookie dough. I'm finishing the last bit right now just to guarantee that I won't have any left to eat later.

So what's the most unhealthy thing you've willingly injested?

Usually we like to joke that "this game was made on drugs lol!" but this time I really think the programmers were really, really high off of something. You can't do this while sober.

Off Topic / Good videogame soundtracks

What are some good videogame soundtracks?





That's really the whole question I'm asking

I already have Animal Crossing and Windwaker because I am a nerd.

Off Topic / A question for math people

« on: November 05, 2015, 02:23:50 AM »

What is this function? I thought it would be logarithmic until I learned that in y = log(x), y has no limit.

Ideally it would start at 0 and get closer and closer to 1 without actually reaching it.

Off Topic / Old Squid Yells at Cloud (angry ranty)

« on: November 02, 2015, 02:00:44 AM »

It's time for me to embarrass myself by shooting-off a bunch of poorly-articulated angry sentiments that are going to be misinterpreted no matter how clear I make myself:

forget all this "open-source" coding bootcamp quirky start-up bullstuff. forget your social media presence and forget you for talking about how casual you are and how you put stuffed-animals in the rooms of your indie game studio, with your walls painted with bright colors. forget your crowdfunding campaigns and just in general forget all of the goody-goody stuffmonglers who are happy all the time because they're so intoxicated from supporting their favorite github projects and giving eachother thumbs up for creating an "awesome" new web project that prints out a photo of your star fish when you tweet the creator. forget your endorsement of 3D printing and virtual reality like it's going to be revolutionary. Shove your bitcoins up your ass and try to stuff out a real currency next time. forget every advertisement with acoustic guitar music in the background and sepia-toned video of white-as-forget people in an sunny field and an annoying female narrator talking about some hipster stuff I don't care about. God it's like the smug enthusiasm of hippies got combined with the shameless materialism of yuppies. One time I looked through a slideshow of "good" website designs and I puked from the sheer amount of obnoxious paragraphs printed over "vintage"-toned photos of, again, white people advertising a product that in a sane world would never get past the idea phase. The web-design community makes me want to shoot myself from the snobbiness. The indie game community makes me want to hang myself from the over-saturated happy-go-lucky attitude. forget.

If you can't read that then I guess I hate anything a young, middle-class, tech-oriented person would typically like. Also that happy, motivated people are enraging. I'm going to board a plane now and live the rest of my life in a concrete hole in Siberia.

Off Topic / It's been a year.

« on: December 04, 2014, 03:46:07 AM »

An entire year of feeling the worst I've felt in my life.

I finally got to see my doctor and he prescribed me something to augment the antidepressants I'm already taking. So here's some history: months ago on Jan 1st, after months of slowly easing off the medication, (I felt good enough that I felt I didn't need it anymore) I stopped taking the antidepressants all together. That month turned out to be a new record in how stuffty I could feel. After that experience, I started going back up on the medication, but something was wrong. It's been almost an entire year and I still feel the same. I'm going on an even higher dose than I was in 2013, and everything around me is stuff. I'm feeling almost manic because I want to get off this planet, but I obviously can't.

When I go to school I stare everyone down and judge them out of my own insecurity. I don't have any friends, and I don't believe in myself to be able to hold a conversation to even keep one. I don't look at someone's face when I talk to them, and I don't smile.

Everything triggers my depression and anxiety. A lonely soda can on the street will do it. My dad eating a sandwich will do it. There are lots of topics that I can't listen to people talk about without getting nervous ideas about the horrible future I keep imagining. Every time I feel happy I subconsciously remind myself that it's all going downhill, and I snap back to reality. I feel so desperate for any kind of feedback and consolation that I don't even care that I'm posting this here.

Somebody will crack jokes about what I'm saying, and I feel like an idiot for even writing it. It's loving impossible. I'm judging myself for even writing this stuff. I feel like I'm posting this just to make people think I'm dark and mysterious. I don't want to be like that.

Posting this is social Self Delete for me. I feel like I've built up a reputation of being silly, and I've been taking it apart after the past few months. I think it's important for me to do this. Nobody probably cares or even remembers who I am though.

This new medication is supposed to improve the effects of the antidepressants I'm already taking. I really, really, really, hope this stuff works, or if there's ANY kind of solution. I can't believe I'm even here after how hard this year has been for me. I can say that it's the worst year I've experienced in my life.
