EMOTION Round 3
 
We have had a good run these last few years, and by popular request a brand new Emotion thread is coming to Off-Topic now, just in time for the New Year!

You know how it goes, the challenge is to find 1 word to describe your emotional state at the moment.

I'll go with tired for myself

ZeoStar December 31st, 2022 6:23 AM

Clearly ecstatic. I'm here early enough to be the second post.

I shall etch myself in history. Like...a postal stamp.

I had forgotten the Dakar Rally had started, but when I found the recap show while surfing channels, I was over the moon.

Also, on a related note: The Russian truck team Kamaz was not allowed to compete this year for obvious reasons, which means their iron grip over the podium in the trucks category is finally over.

Mintaka☆ January 4th, 2023 8:21 PM

Disappointed.

Spoiler:
Well, after reading the first novel of that one Argentinian teenage detective series (of which I read the third book) I've decided I don't want to buy or read the rest of the books. Enough is enough.

The sad part is, both of the dogs that tag along with the human protagonists happen to be the best characters in the series... and they both die within the series itself. It is especially jarring in the case of the first book's dog, a stray named Picho, because he is just casually mentioned to have been run over by a car in the third book. Unless this is a statement on how we really don't deserve dogs, it reads like a cruel joke that he died without any of the protagonists or even a group of neighbors taking him in - despite the other dog, a frickin' Doberman, being adopted by the family of the female lead.

RIP Picho, you were too good for this world.

Hyzenthlay January 4th, 2023 9:18 PM

Soooo immensely frustrated.

A business I ordered from a week ago has not sent any dispatch email / shipping updates and they do not respond when I try to contact them. I need these items within 2 weeks max before I leave the country. For a shipping price of $22, I expect immediate dispatch. 😠 And this isn't the first business to ignore my customer emails either -- it seems to be growing theme!! Really mad at myself for wasting time and money on a rotten business.

Anticipatory...oh apparently this is a real word.

Starlight January 6th, 2023 1:40 PM

Physically and emotionally in pieces.

Essay in spoilers:
Spoiler:
Yesterday I had a very important medical appointment. I'd had no sleep the night before due to pain and no food in nearly 24 hours.

My car decided to break down about a mile away from my appointment with only a few minutes to go, and it started flashing all kinds of warnings on the dash. It was completely dead and stranded in the middle of the road, so I couldn't leave the car where it was but missing this particular appointment was absolutely unthinkable.

We asked a (really lovely as it turned out!) guy sitting in his van nearby if he could help push it off the road so I could leave it. The big problem was that he couldn't push it up the slope alone, so I had to help. I am recovering from surgery, and I'm not even supposed to lift bags right now. I think I've ripped something internally, and I'm in agony.

After we (just) got it off the road, I walked to my appointment - planning to call breakdown once I got back - and was obviously very late, but thankfully I still got my treatment! I cannot thank them enough!

After stopping off at a shop to buy food to take back to the car because I needed to take meds and still hadn't eaten anything, I now had to walk back to my car in the dwindling light through an area I'd suffered some very traumatic experiences in the past, so I was terrified and teary by the time I got back to the car. I decided to try to start it before I called the breakdown service and... it worked! After checking as much as I could, I figured it had been a glitch and decided to drive to my regular garage a couple of miles away. I planned to eat my food there instead...

Literally about a mile from the garage it cut out again, this time on a full speed highway in rush hour with nowhere to stop. I coasted as far as I could and very violently ditched the car, somehow managing to avoid all the traffic, the fence and signs.

Our breakdown service (AA for our UK peeps) told me they would be over 4 hours even though I was stood beside an incredibly dangerous road with nowhere to go!!! My partner told them about my serious illnesses and suddenly a patrol was there within about 15 minutes...

The (again incredibly lovely!) patrol guy fixed the car and then said he would follow us all the way home to make sure we got there. I went to pull away and... well turns out he hadn't fixed it after all! ;)

Eventually he found the real fault and decided the car would need to be recovered to the garage I'd tried to make it to. Our timing wasn't spectacular - as we pulled in, my mechanic was pulling out to go home for the day!

We left the keys with the petrol attendant and said to call us. The AA guy took us home after I spent about 15 minutes trying to get into the huge cab, breaking my nice new cane I've been using during recovery in the process ;(((

I think I threw the first food I could find down my neck when I got in (many, many hours after the initial breakdown) and then literally passed out. I woke up only a handful of hours later in pain and I'm still up from that. I spend a lot of my time tired atm, but this is extreme exhaustion even for me. I'm broken.

Mintaka☆ January 6th, 2023 7:19 PM

Contemplative.

Spoiler:
I've been reading up on where self-inserts can go wrong, and now I'm currently evaluating the extent to which mine will be involved in my Pokémon Xenoverse AU fic.

On one hand, I haven't been shy about how self-indulgent this fic is - just like the game itself, in a way. I'm currently balancing two options; adapt the premise of my first two playthroughs in which I am a chaperone to the protagonist, or be the protagonist myself. On the other hand, I've also been secretly exploring another path in which I am more of a background character (more like in real life); I admit it takes a lot of stress off my shoulders and it is far more enjoyable than going through all the not-so-pleasant stuff the main character(s) of this game go through. Maybe even the dark comedy aspect could benefit from me being in the backdrop due to my quirks and history, in a way.

Then again, I could just... not write myself into the fic at all, but where's the fun in that? Only concern I have is that I'd be inserting myself into someone else's work within closer distance than the Pokémon franchise itself given that Xenoverse is a fan game, but eh, what can I do about it? Try to stop thinking about it to no avail?

Why is every sunny day so bitterly cold? But as a mood...again

Mintaka☆ January 10th, 2023 2:10 PM

...I don't even have a word to describe the level of dismay I'm experiencing right now.

Spoiler:
Well, I watched the LumenTale trailer earlier this afternoon and accessed the Kickstarter page. I decided I wasn't gonna support the game because the concept seems a bit generic, and WeedleTeam and Beehive Studios have a spotty track record after that DonaRush debacle (not to mention Starkey doesn't have a good rep among even Xenoverse players). I did wholeheartedly wish for the game to make its goal to see it in action and be proven wrong, though.

Then I made the mistake of going to Twitter to see if there were any callout threads for the team, like there were when Élite4 quit the Xenoverse dev team. What do I find out?

Someone I used to know who didn't treat me very nicely, to say the least, is on the Mon design team for LumenTale.

One is known by the company they keep, birds of a feather flock together, etc. I felt so sick from anxiety that I went back to sleep immediately afterwards. I'm feeling better now, but it was a nasty surprise. Now, I still wish for LumenTale to make its goal... but I won't be too bothered if it fails to take off.

VisionofMilotic January 11th, 2023 7:04 AM

Stressed

My mom threw the medicine that my dog needs in the garbage. Her vision is bad and she is pretty absent-minded, so she thought she was tossing out an empty bag. Now I am trying to call for a refill, and can't get staff on the phone, clinic not open yet, and I'm worried about how my pup will fare without the medicine she was prescribed for much longer. I also am scared that they might not prescribe me any more meloxican today because it's strong stuff, and was supposed to last for the rest of the week. Even if they do, I am not made of money, and am not happy about having to buy another.

Apathetic.

Spoiler:
I just got to the worst part of Xenoverse in my Mono-Fairy run.

I'm not ready to deal with that entire Ishtar City to Westar City segment. I'm not ready to deal with Riddler Khu, with her weird "Lillipup and Lucario" sh*t, with her unsimpable grandpa, with the edgelord Alter, with my Starter rebelling due to Xenoversal energy, with the robotudos and with the GEIST idiots. Pretty much the only saving grace is that I can sack Khu's Gym (or better said, liberate those illegitimately-obtained treasures) to get a lot of money and never have to scramble for healing items again for the rest of the game. Oh, and SUS-ter won't show up for the moment either.

I'm ending today's session now and when I come back, I'm gonna tune out mentally until I can get my baby Mimikyu at Wild Bull Saloon and then challenge Caspar.

I'm seriously considering ending my Mono-Fairy run in Xenoverse because I can't find my baby Mimikyu.

Mimi was the sole reason I tried this run in the first place and centered it around Fairy-types - so I'd be able to have him in my team. Now I can't find him. I damn well won't leave the Saloon without him, but it feels as though the possibility of encountering him was scrubbed from the game altogether. 😭


EDIT: Relieved and happy! I finally found a little Mimi wandering around and caught him!!

I mean, I even put frickin' Taraxo and Chrysler in there, and I missed Basil, the very first Gym Leader! That alone should tell you how much I dislike him. Charles Manson-looking weirdo who basically runs a cult, don't even come near me. I don't know if I hate you or Riddler Khu-een more out of all the Eldiw Gym Leaders.

It was MISERY. I FINALLY won through a combination of absolute BS luck, and more strategy than I've used in a Pokemon game EVER.

Mintaka☆ January 27th, 2023 1:33 PM

Cautiously optimistic.

Spoiler:
Rumours of a Johto remake for Switch are surfacing again. I can't help but be hyped for such a prospect, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Besides, even if it's true, I can't really trust that it will be a good one after so many disappointing games. (I do hope they'll at least get rid of S/V's HORRIBLE 3D art style.)

Sweet Serenity January 27th, 2023 2:34 PM

Mintaka☆ January 28th, 2023 8:22 AM

Weirdly amused.

Spoiler:
Welp, my computer just broke, possibly for good. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. She was on her last legs already, but she served me well.

Here's the funny part: she shut down while running the demo of LumenTale: Memories of Trey, the monster-catching RPG made by the Xenoverse devs - which is likely a spiritual sequel to Xeno itself without the Pokémon brand, seeing as how Trey is the rival in the latter. That makes me wonder... is the Xenoverse curse still active, just manifesting in another game by the same dev team? Was this a reaction against me finally self-inserting for my Mono-Fairy run? Was this a warning about something else entirely? Did the demo outright brick my computer? Was it the final push I needed to get a new computer ahead of time? Or was it just a coincidence?

...I know I laid my hand on the case as I ran the demo, trying to check for my computer potentially overheating. It was anything but overheated when it shut down, though; it just happened out of the blue.

Thanks goodness I didn't get rid of my old desktop computer! I just removed the hard drive from my bricked laptop and put it there. So far, it's worked.

Now, let's see if it will give me access to my documents/user folders so I can copy everything I need to my external HDD and then onto my new laptop when it comes.

I'm just so glad I could continue and advance my Xenoverse Mono-Fairy playthrough on my new computer! The game runs much more smoothly than it did in my old one, and thanks to that, I could get through all the plot-heavy parts, up to the Pokémon League.

If everything goes well, I'll round up tomorrow. I want to make sure I get a few items first. I also know Victory Road is extremely long so I want to rest up before I do that; the Dimension Rocket was quite enough for today.

Conflicted.

Spoiler:
I really want to get to the battle with Gold in Xenoverse because I never did it before, but the game yet again rears its ugly face and shows me its spite-driven gameplay decisions. First locking the Dielebi event behind a barely accessible place in a big, labirynthian route, now the good old "chase the roaming Pokémon" game. (Thankfully, the glitch in which Dielebi only showed up if the game was set to Italian was fixed.)

Now I remember why I didn't do the post-game in my last two playthroughs. This game just doesn't love me back. ;_;
