New Year, New Nothings

Oh, right. Once again, I have been neglecting to update the negative number of people that frequent this blog.

There has been much ado about nothing these past few months. Nothing noteworthy worth noting on this blog, anyway. I have tried to play some video games or something, but I just can’t get into them at the moment for various reasons I will not expand upon in this blog post. I do, however, have a few RuneScape recordings lined up that I have been practicing my editing skills on.

Oh, wait, no. I did not, in fact, practice my editing skills on the RuneScape videos I recorded. Instead, I recorded myself learning how to use DaVinci Resolve because Vegas Pro 14.0 is such a piece of shit that it is unable to handle videos in the MKV container format. What is the MKV container format, you may ask? I don’t know – it’s some techy thing, about which all I know is that it can’t really be handled by Vegas without using some program that can convert videos in MKV to videos in MP4. Personally, I use MKVToolNix.

Yes, I am aware that Vegas Pro has now reached version 20.0. I don’t care; I already have version 14.0 that I got on the cheap off Humble Bundle. Besides, I now have DaVinci Resolve, which gets the job done just fine.

Actual Madness

Regardless of my ventures in the realm of video editing software, I have created some videos in which I (among other things) rant about how DaVinci Resolve‘s masks and Fusion keyframe editor supposedly suck massive, sweaty donkey dick. As I also practiced my DaVinci Resolve editing “skills” (used loosely), I have compiled a playlist of my various shenanigans. The videos are unlisted, but the playlist can be seen on my channel. Or, you know, I could supply a link right here.

Potential viewers beware: there is a lot of swearing in these videos. Also: loud noises. Also, also: obnoxious censoring of things that even I am too hesitant to include in my videos.

Ok, Bye

That’s it for this quarter’s seldom-seen blog post update. See you never 🙂

Quarterly Update (?) of April 2022

I guess it’s that time of the year again: the time to bring about a useless update that nobody reads.

It’s been a while since I’ve written an update. In fact, I believe it’s been a little too long; I don’t remember how to construct coherent sentences anymore! But, regardless, there has been much ado about nothing these past few months.

I have renewed my subscription for RuneScape, but what’s the point? For some reason, I stopped playing RuneScape again in favor of just… spending time doing nothing. Well, actually, I spend most of the time I’d spend playing games on YouTube instead. I’m also doing problems at LeetCode, although not much is happening on that front either.

Since this post is already a trainwreck, I’ll just shoehorn even more trash in: LeetCode is an extremely annoying website. That’s it. Everybody has code that’s 100% faster and more memory-efficient than everybody else’s. Then, half of the problems are these idiotically abstract and arcane walls of text that are so out of this world that I just can’t even be bothered to understand the problem text in the first place. Fuck! If I wanted shit like that, I’d just whip out a book on calculus and do that instead! Fuck all of these trash problems that go all like: “lmao, take this array a and something-something-something and then a[i – 1] something-something invert the corollary quagnaffle something-something-something then do b[a[i + j – 2 * k] % n] but only if something-something-something.”

Look, I can’t even write proper rants anymore. How far the Rude hath fallen. Anyway, the YouTube channel had its ten-year anniversary last month. Somehow, it’s still up, and I don’t know why. I think it’s still pumping out videos that I had set to be publicized weekly on Wednesdays. I should check that.

Actually, fuck that. I’ll just slowly wither away instead. And utilize my RuneScape membership that I paid for and haven’t used in a month. Good job, dumbass.

P.S.: Fuck off, Grammarly.

P.P.S.: I should update my channel’s description; it’s so woefully outdated.

P.P.P.S.: The new WordPress editor is trash. Why does everything have to fall victim to this horrendous “modern” web design bullshit? Half of the space is wasted on empty regions!

Haphazard Happenings: XXII Edition

I guess it’s time to make an update.

Not much has been happening lately. I’ve added a few videos to my channel, but they’re not really suited to anyone in particular; I’ve simply begun compiling some clips I’ve accumulated over the last year while playing RuneScape because I’ve been documenting my journey through the game, and it’s not going very well.

For starters, the game seems to have a mind of its own and as such appears to find pleasure in coming up with new ways to torture me in the dumbest of ways. For a 21-year-old game, it’s not very well-designed: everything in the game is plagued with design hiccups and minor annoyances to such a degree that doing anything is a test of patience. Quite literally, playing the game is an act of face-desking futility as every session is littered with these annoyances that just build up.

I wish Jagex would stop trying to make the game about all this bossing bullshit and just let it continue to be the laid-back adventure it used to be. But, no, we have to cater to… whomever and add all these dumb fucking bosses to the game and fuck up the economy with the de facto gambling mechanic (the so-called “Treasure Hunter” bullshit), which is designed to suck up money from the retards that are dumb enough to pay for the damn thing.

No, really, tell me why anyone would spend money on that thing. Unless they’re actually retarded, that is. During the Christmas event, people kept discussing buying these keys in bulk – some turd even lamented his inability to purchase more because his daily limit was reached! Are you that dense that you think you’re going to get your stupid fucking green Santa hat that’s going to tank in price anyway? Knowing the absolute crackheads at Jagex, they’re probably going to bring it back as a regular, seasonal item. Some fucking rare item you got!

On another note: fuck this fucking game for being such a fucking piece of shit that removed the trimmed masterwork armor some guy dropped! Had I been there ten seconds earlier, I could have picked up the whole set instead of just the legs and boots! I’m still salty over that, and I’m not going to stop complaining until my streak of bad luck in this game ceases to be such a persistent cunt!

Fuck, shit, ass, balls! This game keeps pissing me off, and yet I keep coming back like some dog that won’t stop coming back despite getting the shit beaten out of it every time. Is this some kind of special case of Stockholm syndrome?

Whatever. At least I’m getting content out of it since I’m recording it. Too bad nobody watches it, but then I’ve been running my channel under this very expectation for almost a decade now.

Ecce ludi auctores britannos, qui ludum etiamnum gerris suis confringunt. Aut ineptitudinem eicite, aut ludum augere desinite! Nempe quidquid facere statuatis, scelestis iam placuistis stultitia vestra.

Oki, I’m done. Back to the lurking…

Another monthly update, I suppose…

It’s time for my monthly update which doesn’t always seem to get posted because I just don’t always feel like making one.

Even though this year has been even worse than the last, I’m still alive. I’ve been playing RuneScape fairly intensively the past couple of weeks, and I have settled into a clan as well. Things are going forward, but only time will tell whether I’ll actually keep on playing the game for more than a few more weeks.

I have been recording every game session, albeit at a very low bitrate (2500 kbps) so as not to fill my hard drive with too much garbage. I don’t know why; I just felt like it. I might post it on YouTube at some point as an unlisted series available from my channel’s playlists section. Who knows?

As for now, there’s not much more to say. Right now, I’m smithing unfinished iron bolts because I told myself that I would make 35000 of them (700 bars’ worth) to train fletching in the process, but this isn’t very efficient smithing training. At least I can write a whole blog post in one inventory, what with the game just allowing you to AFK most of the time if you do it right.

I’ll leave it off here and see where things go from here. Peace.

P.S.: I don’t know why my style is less offensive today. Maybe I’m just in a better mood than usual?

The Great Republicization

I have republicized a bunch of videos on my channel that I had previously privatized due to the terrible quality I deemed them to have. However, they are now, once again, viewable in their crappy, shitty, turdy, whatever-other-fecal-words-you-may-have-y glory. I figured they may as well serve as a reminder to those who suck balls that they are not the only ones that suck balls and not just sit rotting on some server far, far away.

Besides, if I were ever to upload more videos, I would choose some other website than YouTube; like hell am I going to bother with the clusterfuck of triggered fuckboys and abusers of the shitty copyright system that flags everything and everyone for removal. Thus, I have no reason to care whether my channel is clogged with nonsense anymore. YouTube can choke on a dick, for all I care.
