So from the looks of it, that XCom: Declassified TPS is in the "bad to meh" range. More or less what was expected really...

The shit going on in Russia at the moment is really irritating me. I've been rather misanthropic lately, and signs of humanity appearing in all of the bile are so very pleasing to see. I hate the "well our laws" argument because it's a human rights issue, which means fuck your laws. Human rights, your rights stop at the point they get in the way of others. You have no right to call for the harming of another, none. And yes, we will decry those who think they do. And we will be right to do so.

The fact that his suffering ended left him with more dignity I believe - I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to just expire like that over time, waiting, sweating, writhing.

I grant the latter would be worse than the former. I do support the right to choose to die, I just dislike the idea of "dying with dignity". What I believe to be a better way to view it is as stopping yourself from having to live without dignity. The end, those last few moments on this earth, are always without dignity. Doesn't mean you should have to live without dignity.

Went to dentists to get a filling. Turns out it was pretty deep, and despite entering perfectly the numbing agent did very little. Except apparently it did a lot because when it wore off, oh the pain I've been feeling. Disturbed the nerve...pain makes me testy.

I've always been good at blocking out temporary pain (I'm one of those weird people who prefer to watch the needle go in when going under general anaesthetic), so the actual filling wasn't so bad, but persisting pain is really irritating.

Also how exactly can a tooth feel "Wooden"...the fuck does that even mean? Like, you're hitting it and then you're hitting the other one and both feel like you're hitting an unfeeling piece of enamel attached to my gums. The fuck does wooden mean?

Actually, thinking about my favourite romance stories...Not quite sure if people'll agree it falls under healthy, but Fruits Basket is one of my favourite mangas of all time and the romances in that vary but the healthiest ones are the most interesting and focus of the plot (Kyo and Tohru, Yuki and Machi). But that's because the people in them (heck, everyone in that series!) all have some deep issues, and those relationships are a big part in their healing or coming to terms with those issues. The conflict is in them dealing with their issues, not the relationship causing them.

Maybe use the demo of dotTrace to figure out where the CPU time is being spent?

Eventually someone will release information that damages national security and/or provokes a public backlash, thereby giving the executive branch a justification for restricting congressional access to classified information.

...what?

I don't fancy getting pose mods).

Because of Skyrim was marketed 95% to 14 year old boys and people in the "lad culture", where ~89% of the former only think of one thing, whilst 100% of the latter are better described as just not thinking

Argh, trying to get clang building my unit testing library on a Raspberry Pi is a headache. Build clang, got it so clang builds a simple runnable hello world program fine. So almost got it working, but now it's just giving undefined references to __atomic_add_4 at the linker stage.

And now, having given up on clang and Linux for the time being, I'm trying to get it building in Visual Studio 2013 (The introduction of variadic templates was a requirement for this being even possible). Turns out that Visual Studio's macro support really sucks because as soon as you start to do complex stuff involving variadic macros and nesting macros inside each other nothing works.



EDIT: Oh it gets even better. It crashes the compiler. My code. Crashes. The visual studio 2013 compiler. That makes me feel oddly proud. I mean, I've heard of a brain drain problem at Microsoft but it's starting to just look embarrassing for them.

EDIT2: Yay, got it compiling and running fine. All tests pass in GCC still, but two fail in Visual Studio 2013. Turns out there's a bug associated with initializer lists. On the bright side, the library is still usable. On the downside, this means that functionality doesn't work. Fortunately it's easy to not use.
