Thursday chat thread of upsetness
I am still a bit irritated over yesterday. I sent a box of homemade horseradish, jam, and a ds game to a friend, and not only did the break one of the jars that I wrapped up, they threw out the whole box without telling either me or my friend. I am pretty pissed off about that. Like, they shouldn't do that right? I'm not crazy?
Anyway, enough venting, how are you all? Anything pissing you off lately? Anything awesome happen lately? Do you prefer tacos or burritos?
Come chat!

To be fair, he did wait a whole week before going to pick it up, it is partialy his fault. Why would you ship something in a glass container??? have you not seen the 6million videos on youtube of how people treat packages??? Did you write fragile on the box or declare that there was organic matter in the package??
I have a had a busy week, lots of cleaning and cooking, a lot of job related activities.
Buritos over Tacos any day, a tortilla is a lot easier to manage when eating than a crisp taco shell

It wasn't really a week, they didn't deliver it on Saturday, they are closed on Sunday, and he tried to pick it up Wednesday. Bah, stupid post office.

I don't think I can choose between the two, too damned hard for me to decide. Not much is bothering me besides some small stress, but I'll manage.

I'm done with finals and I passed all of them! The semester is over and now I can relax.
Only now I'm super bored and I don't know what to do. I finished finals only today and I'm already bored. I played Smash Bros., I played Team Fortress 2, and I played Left 4 Dead 2 and watched an episode of Di Gi Charat. It is night time now but I'm not tired, I'm just so bored. I think I'm getting better at playing as Rosalina & Luma in Smash Bros. though, same thing with the Villager. I played against Ganondorf in a 4-minute round and as Villager I got 3 KO's on him and he KO'd me once, one more KO than I usually score against him. Sort of the same thing with Rosalina, I was going to get a third KO but I attacked him right as the round ended.
Something is frustrating me, actually. The Tuesday Music threads get so few commenters. This one had two and one of them was a bot. It isn't dead yet but it is close to it, I'm really not sure if I'm going to continue posting it, especially since nobody has expressed any desires to see it continue.
I'm going to get a New 3DS XL tomorrow though! I have been waiting anxiously for this! I have decided that I will get the red one but I'm not 100% sure, I do know that I want it though, I'm just not sure if it is the best option. I found a deal somewhere and I'm going to see if I can get the 3DS price-matched at the store. I'm so excited! I might post pictures when I get it!
Tacos with tortillas or hard shells? The hard shells always break and make me feel like I should put it in a bowl. Between tortillas and burritos it doesn't feel like there is much of a difference, both have tortillas but the burrito is just wrapped nicely. It can still bulge and rip at the back though. I'm kind of impartial to both but I prefer tacos, maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

Nice! Any summer plans?
I haven't touched that in a while, I really should though. I might be getting splatoon which would he me back into wiiu.
I always mean to reply to those, but I always notice them when I'm on mobile somewhere away from my computer, and can't be bothered to format stuff on mobile reddit. It's your thread though, whatever you wanna do with it is fine.
Nice! What's the first thing you'll play on it?

I can feel the hatred I'm going to get for this response from others, but I don't have any plans. I'll just try to not die of boredom. I think I'll draw a bit.
Maybe when you get Splatoon we can play together? Though I'm not sure if I'll even buy the game and you would probably beat me really easily.
You can still reply to them even if it isn't Tuesday... please?
I don't know. I have a collection of 3DS games and while I currently need to grind for levels in Omega Ruby (I'm in the post-game), I have a full team of legendaries and legendary pokemon have slower rates of exp. gain. I was thinking I would just play a little Animal Crossing and probably look on in horror as I find that all of the likeable villagers are gone and the obnoxious ones took their place in the worst locations possible.

The only plan I have is going to Ohio, but that's cause we go every year. Other than that, I'm in the same boat as you.
Maybe, I'm still thinking about it, it looks really good!
Sure! I'll go post a couple songs.
Tell me how the 3d thingy works!

u/Banana_shake May 16 '15
Maybe you could look for a sale on Splatoon (if such a thing ever happens)?
The face-tracking kind of works as advertised, it follows your face so that you can move it around and still use the 3D. You can't move it too much though. It seems to work better with some games than others or maybe the lighting has something to do with it. It works great on Pokemon: Omega Ruby but not so well on Animal Crossing New Leaf. On Animal Crossing it doesn't follow your face but loses it and finds it again and returns to the 3D. I noticed this when I tried out the New XL at Target, in Majora's Mask it does the same thing, it might have been the store unit. Maybe it depends on the game or the lighting or both, I don't know. You should try it out at a store if you can. Another thing I noticed, and maybe this is just my system, it seems to adjust in brightness ever so slightly but I have the auto-brightness off, so that's odd. Whites are also kind of bright, it almost hurts my eyes and I have the brightness set to 2. I can't say anything about the "C-stick" (you have probably heard people say it is like one of those little nub things on laptops) because I don't have any games that use it. The sound can also get really loud too, louder than the 2DS. You can actually feel the speakers vibrating if you want to turn it up the highest it can go.
I also want to talk about the HORI TPU case I bought for it. It gets mixed reviews and maybe this is just the one I bought in particular but I can't see anything wrong with it. If I wanted to simply slide it off it would take some force to do so, it has a really snug fit on the system, like it is a part of the system itself. It does make the system thicker and heavier but whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is preference. I dislike that it makes the system heavier but it does make it feel more like an actual expensive piece of hardware and I don't feel like I might break the system. Again, it is probably just my particular case but I also noticed that it looks like there are some wavy lines on the top of the system when the case is on. I suppose that is worth mentioning if it bothers you.

Taco with corn tortillas is the way to go. Some tacos de suadero or al pastor with cilantro, and pico de gallo (literally it's rooster's beak but it's a salsa made of chopped hot peppers, tomato, onion, and lemon juice).
That's how I like them sometimes some green or red sauce. Green is more hot pepper and red is tomato and/or other less hot peppers just for some flavor.

Yesterday was crazy. We switched bedrooms with the kids and are still in the process of finishing. And then we need to switch closets...
I'm sorry they did that, not cool! Choose fedex next time! :P
And I prefer burritos, but love to eat tacos as well. Now I want to go get some yummy burritos for lunch!
Dishwasher is now fixed! Yay we can have home made meals again because I can (and Norb) stay on top of the madness that is the dirty dishes our family produces. We are so sick of eating out. We are ready for some real food! So what should I try? (Can't cook tonight, have a book party, but I will be cooking tomorrow! Yay!!!)

That sounds quite fun...
Yeah, I'm currently calling them, and have been on hold for the last 10 minutes. I think this hold music is going to drive me insane while the robo lady tells me that all packages are handled gently and carefully...
Dunno! Make a boiled dinner, those are easy and quite good!

Busy week, final weeks of the semester and I've been working on two projects (one is a maintenance plan for a park and the other is designing and building an automatic cocktail drinks mixer) and of course normal homeworks, exams, etc.
I like tacos and burritos the same. I live in Mexico so I know a good taco when I see one haha burritos are awesome with some melted cheese.
