LiliArch

It happens to be a very common Finnish name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juhani

(My net was out. It happens.)

”unable to exist”, huh? Guess that’s one way to cause a critical existence failure. In all seriousness though, I knew that old games may run too fast thus making it impossible to do anything, because you’ll, for example, just plain hit a wall before having a chance to act, but freezing caused by similar reasons was news to me. It’s a bizarre thought. Well, unless the game is actually run by GPU and not CPU, in which case I can imagine it going haywire.

Not that I would know, mind you. I’m a software person, not a hardware one.

I’m curious, how can monitor refresh cause that?

Sending well wishes!

It’s a bit late for that, since I’m technically a bachelor already (trading that for a master’s degree). Technically. I mean, the degree I have is not exactly a bachelor’s (other than in English, anyway) but it equals (Finland’s schooling system may be a bit confusing). Not that it would have done me any good. One of the reasons for me to apply was to get something reasonable to do, since it seems to be impossible to get a job anyway (without having years of experience, which is impossible to get if you never get a job without experience in the first place. It’s crazy, but I probably don’t need to tell you that). Here’s hoping I’ll be able to build some connections at least.

Computer science.

To be honest, the thing I’m mostly worried about is money. 😕

Sounds about right, yeah.

How did you manage to pull that off? I recall some bizarre error messages.

Dominating and bleeding crystals? Good thing I don’t care about Disney canon.

That so? I just assumed it’s a tradition to mock Jedi. (Which, from my point of view, seems to be the case with plenty of Sith philosophy. A major reason why I’m so keen in deconstructing that trope... but more about that later.) Makes sense to a degree, given that it was created by exiles, but nonetheless.

I’m a fan of the black clothing, though. It definitely suits people who prefer staying in shadows. I’m pretty sure there’s a reason why ninjas don’t wear neon pink.

Yeah, it could have turned out quite nasty. Although the realization that I could have died without even knowing is way more frightening than the actual incident. (I was napping on the back seat, so pretty much all I gathered was a ”whoa”, a sharp turn, and a ”thunk”. Luckily the deer was already mostly past the car’s nose at that point. And even more luckily, it wasn’t a moose.)

Moral of the story: Beware the hooved ones.

It does appear that creating a topic at Tutorials section is off limits to regular users. You can’t do that via the ”create topic” on index page, either. Permissions, apparently.

It counts topics, though. Not posts. You can have a conversation of many messages, but as long as it is under the same conversation, it takes only one message slot. Or something like that.

For the record - I’ve been pondering with and without the help of the LP, and I think I can finally say I get what Kreia is saying. The manner she delivers that line is even more confusing as usual, and the lack of difference she seems to give between what may be a feat and what is a requirement is what keeps throwing me off the track, but she tends to be extreme like that, at least from what I gather.

Agreed. And not a Cockney one. (Although now I’m curious to know where one would locate my accent.)

Apparently I should resist my urges to make jokes about figures of speech (it never conveys well via text). Sorry about that.

”Better than it had right to be”? Probably just my non-native English skills speaking, admittedly.

I wasn’t aware that movies need a permission to be good.

In all seriousness though, Kreia usually makes sense even when she’s cryptically lying, so I get quite confused about writer’s intent when I can’t wrap my mind around something.

Thanks, SH. I had forgotten about that one. It’s an amusing read, if nothing else.
