TODAY... =====I FINALLY received a package.
Why “finally”? Well, while most of times it was rather easy, this time I discovered how much burocratic as fuck Italy is.
Katawa Shoujo
A few days ago I learned about a game called Katawa Shoujo. What appealed to me was a Linux version. I am not into visual novels, in fact this was my first game of such genre, but I decided to give it a try. After all, a bunch of cute disabled girls is a pretty original (albeit probably not new) concept. And I tried… And I took a lot of time from my sleep in order to complete the game.
Ponified avatar
This is a (sort of) ponified version of my avatar drawn by ZiPo. Well, its sketch looked more badass, while the finished version before edits looked more kawaii (and a bit wrong). But I’m more or less satisfied how it turned out in the end. Didn’t expect the pony to be so slender, though. I need to lose a few kilos to match him. Also, a horn wasn’t supposed to be this big, but ZiPo tends to like it when a pony has a big and thick… horn.
My newest buy
I finally bought this controller. For years I only knew PS-like controllers and never understood how you could play with D-Pad located like that on Xbox controllers. I am still yet to test it in some games, but for now it’s by far not that bad as ZiPo was trying to convince me.
Nothing to be proud of
I just took the first dump this year.
Hours since last number two: ~156.
Year 2014: Conclusion
So, today is December 31st, 2014. It’s time to summarize everything I’ve done during the year of horse. Thankfully, I kept most of the important events in this blog. Coding First (according to this blog, because I have terrible memory), I started sharing my code. The first script I shared was to “rip” music from Google Music Android app. Mostly I shared my SlackBuilds. Later this year I set up a git repo, and near the end of the year I finally made a GitHub account.
Friendships assessment
I’ve been thinking recently about my position in society, specifically about the people I can call my friends. Conclusion: I am lonely, even though I technically have people to talk to.
How to make Steam recognize your gamepad in Linux
Just a little something I found. I have a cheap chinese PS3 gamepad (“SZMY-POWER CO.,LTD. GAMEPAD 3 TURBO”, not that it would say much though), which is properly recognized by the system, but not Steam. It turned out, the problem is with the device’s permissions. For some unknown reason Steam and some games require joystick device to be world-writable. Pretty dumb, since there’s only need to read what it does, not to tell it what to do.
Painkiller: Heaven's got a Hitman. C2L3 - Asylum playthrough
This is my second favorite level from the original Painkiller, C2L3 “Asylum”. Please bear with my lack of the sense of direction. “Painkiller: Hell and Damnation” sucks ass. Havok > Unreal Engine 3. This video was recorded back in 2009 I don’t remember why. But I just want to keep it here for no reason. Card requirement: finish the level only using Painkiller weapon. I already unlocked the card in other difficulty, but wanted to try it in Trauma as well.
Terminator 2 Main Theme Acapella
I’ve neither voice nor musical hearing. But when has it stopped me? Just something stupid I came up with while playing Minecraft with a friend last week and recorded last night. Sorry for the hushed voice, it was 3AM. I and a friend of mine were playing Minecraft on a map where at some point I needed to walk on lava. That friend noted that I looked like Terminator, so I started humming that famous theme music.
