Well hello there SE, you fucking money-grubbing bitch you. Not is it enough to make me pay for a downloadable add-on for FF11 this month, you also want me to necessarily buy that security token. What's the ONE thing players are always clamoring for in FF11? That they're ready to do anything for? More storage/inventory space of course. And what do you get as a bonus for buying the security token? Any guesses? ...double inventory space, inventory space that grows by te same amount as the normal inventory when you expand your normal inventory by in-game means. Fuck you, SE. I know I was going to get my hands on that security token anyway, but just fuck you. That action makes it pretty much mandatory for everyone to get the 10€/$ security token, even if they don't want it.
...I bought the add-on (A Crystalline Prophecy: Ode of Life Bestowing) yesterday already. There was a bit of news last week that warned that the servers would be extremely busy at the time of the update (when the regular version update is added, as well as the add-on, and presumably the inventory expansion capability, since you can't buy that until the day of the update), so I gave up and got it now.
The April version update promised and update for RDMs, and since the WHM update was so awesome, we thought there was a good chance of it being awesome too...but fuck that too, the RDM update will be almost completely useless. Okay, Enspell second tier, and one useless job ability. Thank you a whole ton for that, too.
Not really as annoyed as I might appear, in any case. The update will be awesome even considering all that, and I'm generally in a good mood anyway.
Looks like I really won't be going to Helsinki in April. It was already pretty certain (since I'm stuck in Joensuu and the train tickets would be literally double the cost than from Tampere) but this hammered it in.
Read a manga yesterday, randomly stumbled across it when I was searching for something to read. I ended up reading it the whole night. It's a manga with no excessive humor in it (I don't think it had even one intentional joke?) and is of 5th graders of all things. Starts with the main charas as 5th graders anyway, the latest chapter I found was with them on 8th grade. It's...really awesome. The two main characters are transsexual, and it's just about them going about their lives, trying to figure out life. Taking a look at another manga after that was almost painful, seeing that whimsical nature in most even remotely popular manga and comparing it to that. It's..painful, too.
It's called Hourou Musuko if you want to take a look. What's most surprising is that I found it on Manga Fox, it's the fifth most popular manga there. And the comments on it, while there's some not so amazing ones too, are generally respectful and even mature. I was really, really surprised.
Hey, see how long my resolve to update every other day held. =D;
