A good thing and a few stupid things

[miss_yt]

The good thing first: I did the Ayu 2 Trance song on StepMania - it lasts 36 minutes and switches speeds a few times. I got an A and a maximum combo of about 530. Usually I turn of the "holds" option, because the adapter for my dance pad won't let me hold down one button and press the opposite if I need to (I think that's because it axis-maps, not button-maps). This time I just turned off "jumps," so there are hold arrows but I don't have to hit two buttons at once at any time. I noticed the difference when I was done, because when I'm done playing with jumps my legs usually hurt. This time they didn't, although I still got a workout.

And now the stupid things. First, I told drakonous that I planned to invite plus_c to my birthday party (scifantasy introduced me to him about a year ago, and he is responsible for getting me hooked on DDR). I said I'd check if he was still around. Only this morning did I remember that I'd read his LiveJournal post saying that he'd gone home. *headdesk* I contemplated posting this to mock_the_stupid as a self-mock, but it's not really funny, it's just a brain short-out, and Lord knows I get those a lot.

The second thing has to do with the Simon Archard Mage stats I posted earlier. I realized that Simon would have to have one sphere in Time and one in Connection. He said himself that he's always very aware of Time, and Emma remarked that he'd never going to a place without knowing its exact longitude and latitude. Oh, and when he was travelling through caves under Partington, he knew exactly which cardinal direction he was going in, and how many degrees he deviated from it at any time. One in Connection it is. I suppose I shouldn't give him Forces and Matter - he'll just have one Prime, and three Mind. Good Mind abilities should cover what he doesn't have in Charisma and Manipulation.

I think this holds the record so far for "Most Geeked-Out Post I've Ever Written," but then again I haven't had a LiveJournal for very long. I'm sure I'll write something geekier in the future.

with a friend's list like mine, you really can't write an entry that's too geeky until you write about your new, tripped out computer that only exists in theory and actually rivals one of the 10 fastest computers in the world at the same time as you fess up to an addiction to a really bad, old skool c64 game.

(in short, this was still fun to read. have no fear!)
