Easter (Orthodox) is around the corner - msot people think about eggs, but for me it's a chance to catch up on sleep. And perhaps a chance to get some good weather, since the last week was very E3M5...

I have found that constructs are easily confused when they don't communicate with their own kind. I guess it's a different level of data exchange, which is incompatible with theirs? Who knows... The problem comes when people start being afraid of that, which they can't understand.

I'd be happy if people relied more upon my databse - as you know, we are still firmly in the paper age and innovation creeps in very slowly. And there are often misunderstandings because many people don't understand how the technology works or what it is capable of doing (or not doing).

Could a fetish really be odd? There are so many crayz things people enjoy out there, that the line between mainstream and odd is starting to blur. I've seen people craving things that defy explanation. A while ago I saw a Wiki whose content was walking a fine line between a legitimate interest and inappropriately sexual/fetishy stuff. A while ago I heard it was shut down - I guess the management thought it had crossed the line. But I suppose they'll find another place to set up camp - judging by the 5-digit number of pages that used to be there (!) there was considerable interest.

Oh, there surely is some weird Japanese stuff. There is even a Hentai Doom mod... it's the sort of thing that makes you pour bleach into your eyes after seeing it :P

Too bad the hooker feature never made it into the final version of Daggerfall. Iamgine all the possibilities it could have opened. There could even be quests. Including evil stuff, like kidnapping a woman, to force her to become a prostitute. Or that would have been too much? Considering some of the depraved stuff you do in other quests, it may have been allowed. It surely wouldn't be more evil than a Lycantropy cure quest, where you have to deliberately infect an innocent child with Lycantropy, in order to heal your own. Yikes!

Oh, Rammstein's later albums get better... for me, at least. My parents adore the album Mutter, probably because it adds some elements of a symphonic orchestra to all that angry German music. Reise Reise has a few icon songs as well.

Been playing vanilla Descent 2 in DOSBox these days - this is actually a case of unfinished business + traumatic memories. I was doing such a playthrough many years ago, and this is when one of my laptop's arrow keys broke. It was patched up, more or less, but playing many games on that machine was impaired ever since. I even remember where exactly it broke - level 16. I couldn't finish the game properly. It's time to put this unpleasant memory behind me, at last, and finish it (I had finished it before, with a source port). Like I mentioned before - I find it generally easier than last time. I am deliberately playing without using a certain guiding companion, navigating the levels on my own. It's a good workout for the memory.

Another thing happening these days, though seemingly on the decline now - something like a strange allergic reaction. Occasionally I'd get these nasty itches for no apparent reason. I don't know what's causing it, but my suspicions are aimed at the detergents I am using. Will try changing them.
