It's Elma form Xenoblade X right now because it's a little over a month and I'm hyped to no end. I'll probably change it back to Ciel in a while, and if not... you know, I should probably make it Blanc again, actually. Considering we just got Hyperdimension on here...
Edit: a month until release.

I was testing out my selfie stick.
Ah, mine is a fun story and totally centers around gog. There was a thread going started by Trentonlf called, "dont tell ddickinson I"m hiding here". Unfortunately, this thread was moved to greener pastures. Anywho, the thread was a complete tonnage of crazy crap, which part of involved me getting turned into a T-rex via voodoo.

Ddicksinson then drew me the avatar you see here. It is a t-rex with pink bunny ears b/c my old avatar was of Louise from Bob's Burgers. she added the nose-scratcher for my comfort.

Friday 12th,bad day for Freddie.
Because GOG thinks I need one.
In order to practice Python coding, I decided to write a simple program to generate a Mandelbrot set. I used the well-known numpy and pillow libraries to generate the image. I then used a bit of cython to speed up the part of the code that does the iterations (and the speedup was huge in this case).

The image is rotated because that's how pillow interpreted the data from the numpy array, and I didn't feel like fixing it.

The colors are based on how many iterations it took for a point to escape. I used the following algorithm:
If the color has already been calculated for that number of iterations, use the same color.
If not, generate a random number between 0 and 2^24 and use that as the color (and remember it for later).

I then ran the program a few times until I got colors I decided I like, and then used the output as my avatar.

Found it outside my door and immediately adopted it, as with all 8 cats i owned before. Ugly thing that scars me is that all of them died on me, for various reasons, most of them natural and unexpected, or unpredictable. This time round i don't take my chances, though, i keep it mostly indoors but i also let it play with his feral GF when she strolls in my gardens.

We both can't sleep at night, unless we cuddle under the blanket, headbutt and nosebump. It is the cutest, sweetest little familiar i have ever bonded with, hedgehogs, owl and bats aside. Feline seems to have a natural affinity for me, too, because even though all cats in the area are feral, yet for some reason, especially when i "loose" one i keep, they themselves show up out of thin air in my doorstep, as if they are seeking me.

I feel the worst, as if i am cursed or something, or a life leeching demon, something of shorts. It pains me that all the things i love die on me, just like that and they are gone.

Sorry to hear that. But you're making their lives better, if they keep coming back. It's sad that so much of life is so temporary. :( Have you tried keeping a journal so that you can remember the good parts and not focus so much on the loss?

That would be nerve wracking. Concerning people especially, even though there are no deaths there, i have lost MUCH more, and MANY times over, much more many "things"... I don't keep a diary, i never take pictures *with* other people and animals... I would be torn into pieces by looking at them at some future point, when from those pictures, only me would be around... (Japanese also believed even up until relatively recently, that taking a photo of yourself cuts off a piece of your soul). The stories of my exs, for example, were neither lies, nor imagination. I have lost MANY, things, during a very short lifetime. Or others stole from me. Or others destroyed for me, on purpose... At least nature is my friend and ally. Time might prove to be, too...

Your back! I thought something happened to you. How's everything?
I was really into Asterix when I was a kid. I only got one comic book (they were preatty damn expensive for a little boy), but animated movies were a big hit back in the day in Poland (they were like every sunday morning on the TV).

And i'm into history and Julius Caesar is my favourite Roman-era leader. :)
I like Monty Python and bunnies.
The modifications came with the greyvolution, the introduction of region locks, day-1-dlc and the top men's board jobs. :P

Have you read "Meditations", the book by Marcus Aurelius (one of the caesars)?
I love it and hate what they made out of him in "Gladiator". I honestly can't see this movie anymore because of the slander.
