The Chit Chat Thread: 2 (Electric Boogaloo?)

Oh my dear God. I finally finished a video I've made like two or three years back. The editing was a pain. I lost two computers while doing it. I lost the files and regained them again multiple times. The video isn't even that good but damn it I was just too damn stubborn and wouldn't let it go.

Honestly, I could've just remade the whole video. I even lost the save files of the game I played so I need to replay that part again anyway.

Post it plz

Agreed! How can you make a post like that, outlining the horror you went through over nearly three years to make a single video which you almost lost on multiple occasions, and then not post the video?!

COME ON! PEER PRESSURE! DO IT!
Nah, but seriously, if you don't mind, we would like to see it.

In other discussion, I found a neat little oddity.

Reminds me of how the Nazi's had blueprints for the first ever radar invisible stealth aircraft or at least a primitive version of it.

Amazing when you think about some of the early things we use today.

I hope I didn't overhype it, it's not even anything exciting, just the first part of my revisit of Corpse Party. It's not some heavily edited funny piece, just something I needed to get done :D But sure, I'll link the travesty once I upload it to Youtube. I'm just not confident in uploading it until I have at least a second part of it ready so I won't leave anyone who has waited for the revisit I promised three years ago hanging again.

[BumblebeeCody*]

I wasn't even born then. Post the video!

[Mass Distraction]

Sup. It's here. It's... okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItZ5P88gcIs

Second part is uploading right now so yay for progress.

I'm at that point in my life where I have to choose whether to continue a job that doesn't pay enough, but I get to be myself (hair, tattoos) or go to a job that pays well, but I literally have to hide my tattoos, color my hair "normal", basically hiding the only things I actually love about myself. But money. But me. Money. Me.

[Petie]

The best job in the world is one that doesn't feel like work but sometimes, you need to suffer through something you don't like to get yourself to a position in which you can switch to something you do. In this case, it's relatively simple. Are you comfortable financially at the moment or would the increased pay make a significant difference in your quality of life? If it would, wear long sleeves and dye your hair for a little while, get yourself stable financially, and then focus on doing something you love. You can always look for something in an area you care about that pays more while you're working the job you don't like.

I'd say just try it, see if you like it at least.

I mean, more money to just wear a long sleeve shirt and possibly dye your hair back to a normal colour (or you could wear a wig or something) isn't that bad. You should at least see if you like the job for a while.

I'd rather have a great job that paid low than a shitty job that paid high.

Don't forget to enjoy your lie-in tomorrow, folks ! 
The time-keeping powers that be have added one second to the 30th of June to recalibrate the world's clocks.

It'll go like this
23h59m58s...
23h59m59s...
23h59m60s...
00h00m00s...

Great stuff -- I intend to make the most of my extra second.

With all that extra sleep, no wonder I woke up before my alarm clock started singing me into a new day.

Bought a bottle of sriracha sauce yesterday because it was on sale. How have I ever lived without this godly liquid?

HAPPY CANADA DAY !

That is one incredible video. It's basically a Google Maps version of Apsen in 1979. It was meant to be an intereactive map of the town that would let people explore it without actually exploring it. To do this it involved rigging a ton of cars and students with cameras and setting them loose on the streets.

It's actually very very impressive. One of the things I do like about Google Maps if they're going to keep on going for years and years is that by say 2045 we'll basically have a damn near perfect archive of what life was like from say 2008 to whenever.

You just gotta love the internet. At first you're watching some lighthearted top something videos, soon you are listening to recordings made by people before their death. Every road leads to either the dark or the weird side.
