What weird stuff has happened to you lately?

A few days ago, I heard an actual, honest-to-god drag race happen somewhere on the other side of the woods behind my house. Late at night, two riced-up engines floored it down a long stretch of what was originally planned to be our town's main street.

While some people do not like the current situation, it seems others found new ways to have fun. Hope we see a good impact overall after this whole ordeal is over!

The 5G is stopping you from seeing the truth.

I read about that, and tbh I don't know what to think about that. On one hand, this is way ridiculous, on the other hand these people truly believe it... Didn't see their answer on the COVID-19 cases in Africa, maybe someone should tell them.

Remember when I was considered "out of action" for several days? Well, now things have gotten a whole lot darker, even this theme is now a whole new level of dark, and that is just me having this reawoken beast of mine to today's performance. A brand new RTX-2060 on a Windows 10, and with it, I can now see through all the things Google can offer me, and I'm not just Lucian, not the mysterious young boy you kept wondering for 3 years on here for that matter with that codename to refer to as "the prince of a fallen planet". Not even the "Luci-san" persona either, and given the description from the former groups' application before the switch, people already knew I was indeed the real me, that starts with a B. 

The kind of person with some German ancestry, the Ritterbruders, heavy-handed warriors who once served the Teutons against pagan forces long ago, and part of the other half might be linked to other European nations, too. But in the end, my family might've come from all the way from Europe at some point, according to Ancestry, we even fought against each other, on both sides of every major war. Then, things got even weirder since the transition from Windows 7 to 10. I lost some autoproof abilities, didn't really expect that coming. When it comes to my favorite game, I had to run it on a workaround using my modding powers I learned, to which astounded my father with barely any approval, even explained it to him in full how modding really works, for example, the Silent Patch I mentioned earlier. Even then, I would still dare myself to lift my fingers on the keyboard in search for better enhancements beyond that. The only way I can run on my San Andreas to this day is with Silent's loader and patch, the doorway that unlocked my modding powers.

I guess somehow I grew remotely fond of how the modders did their jobs over the years, and though he now approves me in allowing mods on my old games that lived up, I still have to do the rest on my own, that would mean beginning the aforementioned anime invasion I long sought to begin, the takeover of San Andreas using what I think of my mind with a dimensional rift crossing hybrid plague of whimsical proportions. Why I would want to do that? Perhaps a mad scientist during my absence whilst replacing some core parts and my 8-year old flagship, a 580 card somehow opened up a portal revealing to be Holly. Then Pastor Richards from a different dimension of the same portal tried to accuse her of allowing degeneracy (the existence of anime and other nonsense), too freedom loving and a bit parasitic. Being held in what appears to be the remnants of a mothership, it reminded me of what went all wrong on Earth back in 2216. Holly brushed off the Pastor whilst Sakuri Konohana was still hallucinating with the serum, she can see that she's in a military base out in the desert, maximum security for a quantum experiment in order to pacify the whole Lucian population as if to shut us down like dolls. If I really want to rescue the hell out of Sakuri, I would have to make good use of everybody's favorite character to bring down the three-dimensional within four in-game months from what the mad scientist said. I have to make CJ evolve the unidentified plague carefully using the power of modding to bring in as much of the two-dimensional waifus we already know and love over and train them into taking down the head of the State Department deep within the region, rescue Sakuri, and retrieve the plague sample from a military train. The sample will then be used for a future operation involving the destruction of my old roleplay enemies' nations, if any that are still around.

I can't even stress it that given the recent events as of late, I can't even bother to watch the weather anymore let alone view forecasts and read the damn news app straight from my desktop. Sometimes even my favorite Office apps get a bit well... a buggy ride but it didn't do enough to ruin my days. All I did through the latter half of my absence was to test to see if Windows 10 really did work, and it did, but still a whole new experience. I definitely fell for the Windows 10 that Microsoft warned me months prior, and never regretted anything. Now my ultimatum plan will soon be set in motion.

So, get this. Last night, as I was talking to a friend of mine, she mentioned she just tucked her daughter into bed, right? And... I don't know why, but all of a sudden I just felt this incredible surge of warmth from somewhere within me. I got so excited, I said [name changed] "Whoa, hang on! Tomo-chan, you didn't tell me you were a mom, too! How old is she, love? "

But as it turned out? This "daughter" of hers was actually just someone she had a friendly, kinky arrangement with. Her boyfriend doesn't mind. In fact, he thinks she's a sweetheart.

Heheheheh, best part was when she was still stunned from how strongly I reacted earlier, and she wrote back, "290 months or so". I pretty much fell out laughing at that.

For like a month or two this summer, the US Army tried its hand at running an E-Sports team which... as you might imagine, seems a bit wee-ird at first blush. I mean, I realize the Army isn't just a buncha meatheads who murder foreign civilians, retire, and deteriorate into sputtering, liver-spotted planetoids as their brain slowly unwrinkles itself - that's the Marines - but still, makes ya think.

It wasn't until they made their Twitter account that the fatal mistake was made. Trying to emulate the cash cow of "snarky, woke brands that resonate with today's potential recruits", their presence there was styled largely around anime memes, with the following being one of the most cursed images to ever be capped on the platform.

Amazingly however, for once, a coalition of everyone from the humble shitposting weeb to that one Twitter tankie who thinks owning a house makes you a Kulak somehow, would defend rise up to mock them. This arguably climaxed in a Twitch stream hosted by the Army, wherein people from around the world posted links to the Wikipedia page of US Army war crimes, among other things.

And so endeth the tale of the US Army Esports Team~. I honestly wanted it to go on a little - a little longer, just 'cuz ever since the quarantine began, my entire experience of the world outside my house has largely been on a 27" IPS panel. Yeah, I'm starting reconsider my life goals of being a hikkikomori. xD

Oh, and my original post referenced the substring, "After Backlash". Heheh. ^^

edit: Ahh~, I just realized the headline only references Twitch activities. Well, living in a capitalist hellscape might be anything but comfy, but at least there's a certain aesthetic to the insanity. ^~^

So even the U.S. Army decided to fall through their usual tough-looking demeanor and slide into memetic territory with Discord, and at the same time finally noticing your oldest avatar? Well, it seems they really did notice your name... a lot, but nowhere near noticing this place yet. Of course, such a name is commonly used whenever there's controversy abound after some incident. Think that some members of the U.S. Army is just trying to have their own fun too rather than being stuck at their bases and having to disregard being too close to their fellow men-in-arms.

Did they really come close to contacting you at that time or did you actually came to them and appreciated their mentioning?

Heheheh, that was actually really funny. I was sweeping up some dry Cheerios I accidentally spilled, and I see a tiny rodent or something scurry from the fridge. It turned out though, my broom had just somehow launched a single Cheerio like a tire across the kitchen floor. I couldn't help but grin.

I threw a coin up and it landed standing up on its side today

I work from home and l almost locked myself out of my work laptop this morning.
Turns out the password prompt for decrypting the harddrive uses a different keyboard layout from the program which I used to set the password.
Once I figured that out I got back in with only one attempt left!

Well, later today I got locked out anyways thanks to my family's cat. I should have closed the door when I went away to get a coffee -_-

I went to the office the next day and a coworker unlocked my account.

Oh my, that's pretty surprising. I remember when I used VeraCrypt, though, it would specifically change the keyboard layout to US English when setting the password, because that's what it uses in the pre-boot environment.
