My doctor told me my new antidepressant meds probably will take a while to kick in, like a month minimum. I started taking them almost a week ago and I think I'm feeling something already. I'm a lot calmer these days and I used to have a really bad habit of a racing mind...which doesn't happen anymore.
Also, holy shit, I'm getting the CD for Aesop Rock's new album (Spirit World Field Guide) like a day early.
Except the only thing I have to listen to it with is a...PS2. Thankfully, I have a linescaler and a capture card so I can kind of rig up something to get it playing through my PC.
Also, thank you Ellie for reminding me about RuneScape. I'm gonna try and get some gains in but I'm trying to remember what I wanted to focus on or at least what I couldn't shove into the last DXP event.

I'm really having fun writing. I'm doing a project that's turning out pretty good. I just have to spice up my vocabulary a little. I type simplistic most of the time. Either way I can't wait to share.
I gotta draw so much OMG there's 680 parts. Kinda hard to show the settings with all words.

On my mind: Power levels are not bullshit. That line is quite stupid to say. Are weight classes bullshit on UFC or Boxing? Of course not. I don't do poor writing and contradictions. That feat enables me to balance power levels, or in my story "megaton ratings". It's very humorous that power levels don't matter, but a particular Anime ends up with useless background characters. The only logical solution was to eliminate power levels altogether. Yeah, that worked nice didn't it? NOPE.
On to megaton ratings. An energy scale commonly used by nuclear explosions. It makes more sense than some mysterious lifeforce energy with scaling that's totally crazy. Megatons are perfect for measuring large explosions and high energy output. Scaling can be made easier, and power classes are actually logical.
A being with an output of 7 million megatons per second would be vastly outclassed by a being with a 50 octodecillion megaton output. Obviously. It's why I created power matching. This allows vastly powerful characters to fairly battle weaker characters in tournaments or competitions. Example below:
Syla: 7,000,000 megatons per second. (7 million)
Krysta: 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons per second. (50 octodecillion)
Normally Krysta could kill Syla by literally just standing within a few light-years of her. Power matching would cap Krysta's power output to 7 million temporarily. After the battle Krysta's power output would return to 50 octodecillion. It's like dropping a weight class to fight someone fairly. (Krysta is 20 classes above Syla).
Logical sense and no contradictions for the win.

Sure! Sorry, but just for some background, what's your podcast usually about?Fayte":16hyve0p said:

I don't know what you're talking about, but I can tell you need to use a new scale for comparing things. Like a base-1000 logarithmic scale. So a 2 is 1000 times more powerful than a 1. A 3 is 1000 times more powerful than a 2. And so on.
[Edit] Maybe you could change your units to LMW, which is the light emitted by the Milky Way Galaxy, which is used to compare not only galactic luminosity, but also quasar luminosity, which can be in the neighborhood of 100,000 LMW.
Clever bro, but explosive force is the focus. Not light brightness... Not yet. Having scientific explosive energy measurements is the way to go. Most of my characters release rapid explosions every second, or energy beams that pulse every second. That might be too complex?
I'll be clear. When characters can destroy planets with explosive energy attacks, megaton requirement can be scientifically calculated. Unlike what Dragon Ball Z uses. Nuclear bombs are scaled with megatons of TNT equivalent.
IE: 54 quadrillion megatons of explosive force can destroy Earth instantly.
10 octillion megatons can blow up the entire solar system... (Same power output of a class 1 Supernova)
A single 'Nova level' is 10 octillion megatons per second. Basically measuring in Supernova instead of megatons. An 'nova level' of 36 decillion can destroy our galaxy a million times over . Literally the power output of 36,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 exploding stars! Every second for 24 hours! O_O
(36 X 10^33 nova per sec)
I'll stop now. Ugh, I forget what forum I'm posting on. This isn't /sci/ of 4 chan.

That's cool.
Also if you release these as a blog post (by making new topics here: viewforum.php?f=327) they'll appear on the homepage which might get you some exposure.

I was counting on having internet over the holiday. But a mouse or something might have chewed through the wire. Because it's not working. And because it's a holiday nobody can service it.
Also I think I've been up over 30hours. I don't know how. I'm just asking to get sick.

The immune system is vulnerable when not rested. Being extremely sleepy is similar to being drunk. Personally I'm very mean to everyone at home when I'm sleepy. I self isolate as a pre-caution. Everything just seems 100 times annoying when I'm tired, or people bother me more intensely. Strange phenomenon. "Now everyone wants to tickle me and do new shit they normally never do." Being sleepy summons unorthodox behavior in anyone near me...

The working class. I miss it a little. Retail is hell. Some customers are literally retarded, but you gotta be 'nice'. When I worked for Sony as a sales representative, people would ask me crazy crap all the time.
"Where's the Nintendo products?" See this huge ass Playstation logo on my shirt? "Ohh, sorry."
"Where's the children's clothes department." I don't know. I work for sony, I'm just stationed in this store to sell PS3's, but let's go look.
"Mister can you get me a 3DS?" Okay little girl. I work for Playstation, but I'll get you a 3DS from the back.
Great times. The parents strategically used their little cute Caucasian daughter with red frame glasses, to manipulate me into locating a 3DS. Pure Kryptonite. The parents could've easily asked me... I almost fainted from cuteness. Almost paid for that 3DS too, I was very vulnerable :sad:

Turkey cured my insomnia. Also got internet back.

Glad you solved the insomnia, coyote. When you run out of turkey, maybe get yourself some Ambien or Lunesta in case of emergency. And congrats on the internet too.
Ellie, how old are you? You haven't graduated from university, have you? If university isn't for you, do any of the trades interest you? Do you have any plans to not work retail next year?
Being sleep-deprived is kind of a strange mix for me. I hate it and I can be short-tempered with people. But everything is also a lot funnier when I'm operating with only half my brain.

What would you rather do instead of retail? What's preventing you from getting there?
