Okay. I have now watched Garakowa, and...

Flipping hell. Yes, it may not literally be everything I could have asked for, but it comes about as close as you could hope for with a 65 minute runtime. The flaws, such as they are, are small enough to overlook. I have some issues with the basic scenario, but not large ones. It's good.

I feel like that needs restating. It's really, really good.

It's also an epic troll, on the scale of End of Evangelion and then some. No, I won't tell you how. Go watch it. You may have to watch it more than once, to understand it all, but you'll want to. You will need to pay attention; it's maximally compressed, though not in a bad way.

I hope for a series adaption.

The thing I am looking most forward to, right now:

Garakowa -- Restore the world.
(Or "destroy"? It isn't clear. Both seem to happen.)

It'll be out on Crunchyroll in eight days. I'd go on to talk about it, but there isn't much to say except for what's in the trailers, so I'll just leave you to those~~

I see you found the macros. Some of my most horrifying work.

Just a tip—you can type "C-u <number> C-p" to play back a macro several times, which by the looks of things would have sped you up a lot. They're inspired by Emacs keyboard macros, you see.

Having trouble connecting to the IRC

Hmm. Well, IRC is unfortunately mandatory, but Rizon is generally reliable.

Try a different client? Personally I always use irssi, which probably isn't a good idea, but maybe XChat?

Hi, folks.

I thought I'd give you the option of joining me for a nice game of Minecraft, on a server I like to call Erisia.

This is a rather heavily modded server, based on the TPPI mod-pack. In other words, it's semi-experimental; you should expect to see the setup modified fairly frequently, but hopefully no resets for a while. Either way, there's enough to do there for a few weeks of focused play.

Rules are fairly simple:

- Try to keep your constructions good-looking. I consider a wide range of things 'acceptable', but putting a large base in a giant hole in the ground isn't. I'll tell you in advance if things are getting iffy.

- Be nice to each other. PvP is not disabled, but nonconsensual PvP or theft are both punishable by summary bans. If you aren't in a cooperative mood, then this server isn't for you. If you just want something to fight... we've got options.

- No quarries in the overworld. We've got Mystcraft for that, but the TPPI ore-generation distribution is also constructed such that you don't really need it.  (This, by the way, refers specifically to the giant-hole-in-the-ground Buildcraft quarries; any quarry that leaves stone and dirt in place is fair game.)

- I may on occasion need to restrict the use of some item for performance reasons.

- Otherwise, do as you like. If you're having fun, and not disturbing your neighbours, then that's good enough.

If this sounds interesting, then reply to this thread with your Minecraft username and I'll get you set up. Ideally, also write a few lines about your approach to Minecraft; what you're planning to do, if anything. That isn't necessary, but it helps.

The server is linked to an IRC channel on irc.rizon.net, #erisia. You can also drop by there to have a chat.

I'm afraid the result is unlikely to be quite as pretty as it is now (mostly; smooth-scrolling the map might be nice), but I'll see what I can arrange. If it'll avoid triggering epileptic fits, that should be helpful in itself.

Can you use C-u prefixes instead?

It looks like 2D drawing has been completely deprecated in Lion. This one might not be so easy to fix.
