I love when people take your stuff without asking, particularly when it's a personal item, like a tooth brush, razor, or face mask.

I came to work today, and it's below freezing, and one of the douches working on the shift was wearing my fucking face covery mask whatever.  Like, what the god damn fuck, I can't wear his dirty germy face cover.  I don't want his skank germs.  So I got to be cold all night.

Pick up an old game I have fond memories of to "finally beat it."

In this case, the first Maximo for PS2.

Immediately become aware of a glaring design flaw that ruins the entire experience.

The clarity and experience of getting older gets a bit old sometimes. And I loved this game about six months ago...

Do you remember why you took a break from it six months ago?

Because I was tired and botched quitting a level vs saving my progress(it threw me back about two worlds.) This was one giant design flaw that I thought I could live with.

So I go back to it last night and realize that the only time I take damage fighting monsters is because of them poking me either between my animations(like, I have to jump up to a guy on a platform and he'll without fail hit me before I can hope to react or block) or utter horse-shit. I was getting hit by guys that I'd hit at maximum range and were in their death animations, I've been hit by things I was striking from behind, etc. I finally quit when one of the Pirate Skeletons in the 3rd world broke my shield from full in a single attack and killed me through a successful block.

This was after I'd begun just sprinting through levels and ignoring enemies because it was more likely I'd lose health by cheap-o dings then it'd be worth getting their treasure. Which was 100% correct for all of Worlds 1 and 2! But you have to kill x amount of goons next to the End of Level Thing, so I died fighting cheap-o pirates.

I'm a fan of the Devil May Cry school of thought.. don't make your monsters cheap, make them interesting and if you want them to be fought, make a lot of them or call them a boss and give them a real HP bar.

I think I realized tonight that the absolute only way to get me instantly pissed off at you every time is to require me to leave my house at a moment's notice.  I need at least a day's notice if I need to be going anywhere, unless it's like out to go have lunch or something.  And even then, give me time to get my affairs in order.  There is basically nothing I hate more than thinking I have a stretch of time to hang out and just do whatever I feel like doing in my spare time and then having it cut short.

I understand now why you left in such a huff last night.  At first I thought you were RAGE quitting, which was odd as you never rage quit.

I'm usually okay with this if there's a good reason, but then again, I fucking hate when I have to get up to answer the phone more than a couple times a day.

I've also noticed that one of my pet peeves is people who are comfortable with enjoying a niche with no interest in branching out.  Unfortunately, being on IRC around other nerds who play videogames, I see it often.  Something about a dude going saying he's too much of a sad chump not interested branching out and finding more stuff to play beyond his safe zone is annoying for reasons I can't describe.

People who specifically wait until they know you're driving home to call you.  Like they actually think calling you at work is rude, but calling you when it's illegal to pick up is fair beans.

My Art Appreciation teacher.
See, I am taking the class just to fill up some time and give me easy credits.
So though the work will be easy, the frustration will be hard to deal with.
AND SHE DOESN'T MAKE IT EASIER FOR ME.

Today alone she said some things that are just plain wrong. Some of them are misspeaks but a lot of them are her just being... stupid.
These are my favorite things from today
"DaVinci was the greatest artist in ancient Greece." She repeated it, word for word 4 times. FOUR. I counted.
"The ancient Egyptians were great artists and could mass produce their works in short time, but didn't have a formal counting system."
She even called a guy "The greatest American artist of his time" even though he lived in Europe and never visited America.

And she kept saying the Golden Ratio was pi. Just pi.

... so call her out on it.  Why let that shit stand?  I've had teachers say things that are just factually wrong - like one dumbass who repeatedly insisted that the Middle East was part of Africa - and leaving it unanswered is a disservice to your fellow students and only serves to bolster an obviously undeserved sense of superiority.

Or possibly she's saying things so phenomenally wrong specifically waiting to see who will call her out on it.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Yeah I wouldn't put it over an art teacher to put students to the "test" like that.

Butbutbutbut...
I like seeing how long I can go without talking in a class!
Four more weeks and I meet my goal!

And... I'm not sure I can correct her without having that "I fucking hate you for breathing things wrong" voice.

It's got to be intentional.  You can't know what the Golden Ratio is without knowing at the very least that it's not the same as Pi.  And she wouldn't be specifically repeating that Leonardo was Greek so many times unless she was expecting someone to say "He fucking was not."

Then it's probably better to figure that out now.

A quick check on Wikipedia shows that the Golden Ratio is represented by the Greek letter phi, which is probably where the confusion on that point comes from.

Leonardo as a Greek, though, I dunno...

I know about phi.
She said "Pi," and I figured I misheard.
Then she wrote down the symbol.

So it's either intentional or she's just that nuts.
