Re: It's the little things.
- nethack, in that i've been playing it, and its many antecedants, on and off for about twenty-five years. And i STILL HAVEN'T WON.
- bittorrent, which brings me low-res versions of films i'd be embarrassed to be seen renting. you know - Blazing Saddles. Alien Vs Predator. the fifth film in the Cremaster Cycle. "Stacy - Attack of the Schoolgirl Zombies". Wallace and Gromit. Gorillaz. Daft Punk. Invader Zim. Weird-ass CGI from the SIGGraph demo DVDs.
- Starcraft, which i play less as a strategy game and more as a convoluted kind of paint program. rather than beat the other guy, you try to cover the entire map with a network of Pylons, or Creep Colonies. or you mobilise as many zerglings as you can at once and spell out something rude on the map.
- talk.bizarre and alt.slack. the former berates me for not being with it (whatever the hell "it" is) and the latter reassures me that it's okay to be an opinionated, arrogant anime fanboy asshole.
- /b on 4chan, for giving me a much-needed rest, from, well, from /b. and 4chan.
- Habafropzipulops, the mystical Subgenius Tibetan herbal supplement (NOT A DRUG). it makes all of the above seem less like pointless distractions and more like serious sociological research.
- Microsoft Windows' built-in text editor, Wordpad. there was an annoying bug in the '98 version that has since been fixed. it does the job quietly and without surprising asshole paper-clips asking you stupid questions.
- and places like this, where i can vent spleen all over people and they'll only occasionally get pissed off.
