The Dink Network

Recondite Five: Nimiety

Tonights Recondite is the same normal drivel as every other Saturday Night. Visit the comments page to view it.

I have realized that I waste time too much. Way too much. Take today, for instance. I wake up about 8:50 am, and just lay in bed for a good 3 hours. Doing nothing at all. Then I go on the computer, and go surfing around, accomplishing nothing for another few hours. Combine that with TV and playing games... and I haven't done a dang thing all day. Not a dang thing. Well, I did finally post some files, and I fixed the reviews database so people could modify it... but not much. I have a Java project due soon, along with a 10 page paper for American civ. And what of H.R.? The Dink Network? I just waste time. Waste, waste, waste. Hopefully, I'll find a way to motiviate myself to actually do something instead of nothing.

The Dink Community used to be a lot more hostile. A lot more. Great wars of debates were waged across The Dink Network, and things would always spark some kind of dissent. And before The Dink Network even existed, there were wars between the Pro-Snyders vs the Anti-Snyders. Some people didn't like how it seemed Mike Snyder was the king of all things Dink, others didn't mind. Not anymore. Oh well, if Kyle's idea ever gets implemented, then that might change a tiny bit.

I rarely, if ever, get hate mail. I finally got some. It was funny. Some people have to complain about everything. This fellow (whom I'll call Elmer to protect him from flames and such) e-mailed me and said
"FLAT THIS! NEW FLAT PATCH THAT! WHY IS FLAT SO INPORTANT?! YEAH I'VE PLAYED IT! MY RATING WORST D-MOD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It seems Elmer didn't appreciate FLAT, uh, I mean FIAT, too much. The funniest thing was it was it was printed with huge pink text on a green background. Hilarious. I replied to Elmer, saying something about FIAT wasn't the worst D-Mod ever, because at least Explorations: redink1's Basement was worse. I truly didn't expect him to reply. But then, two weeks later, Elmer sent another E-Mail with huge red underlined text with a green background:
"DINKY DEMENSIONS IS STUPID YOU BARLY SCRIPTED ANYTHING I CANT KILL DUCKS OR PIGS SOME SPRITES DONT EVAN MOOVE SOME MOOVE AROUND THE SCRENE BUT DONT M0OVE THEIR BODY THERE ARE BLANK SPOTS ALLOVER THE PLACE IN FIAT END OF TIME AND THAT ONE AS GO0D AS ETURNITY D-MOD THEY SUCK SINCERLY ELMER"
I think I replied something about spelling FIAT right otherwise anything he sends gets put into my junk e-mail folder. 6 days later, another e-mail, this time in small text.
"SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO REPLI SORRY I SPELLED "FIAT" WRONG SORRY I SAID IT WAS THE WORST "EVER" I'VE ACTULY PLAYD MUCH MUCH MUCH WORSE ONES HOWEVER I DOWNLOADED "FIAT" WITH ALL THE PATCHES AND THERE WERE STILL SO MANY BUGS IT WAS PRACTICALY UNPLAYUBLE AND I REALY WISH YOU HAD A MIROR FROME WHICH I COULD DOWNLOAD YOUR D-MODS EITHER THAT OR OBOLISH 3D DOWNLOADS.COM IT TOOK ME 3 TIMES BEFOR I COULD DOWNLOAD FROME IT. BY THE WAY WHAT DOES "FIAT" MEEN??????????????????????????"
I didn't feel like replying to this one. I take it the main point of D-Mods for Elmer is killing pigs and ducks, otherwise I can't see how FIAT is unplayable. Then he wrote a review for FIAT giving it a 0.0 (citing bugs as the reason), and gave ROTD3 a 0.1, saying
"This ####### D-mod sucks I giv it 0.1 becouse at least it is scipted and bug free but the story line sucks the whole duck thing sucks the atacs barly do damage that stupi duck ronan thinks milder saved the world and billy is a moron"
Yep, Elmer is going to be a valued member of The Dink Community...

Links: tonight's links will be in a... slightly different form. In the form of an incoherent story. Enjoy.
Once upon a time, pigs were flying about next to an airplane with a passenger stuck inside. Unfortunatly for that passenger, the muggle police nazis were about, who didn't approve of drilling holes in people's heads to improve life, but there was a report of a stolen concrete computer that had to be investigated after all. But first, the police had to go interrogate somebody putting some really bad information stealers into Audiogalaxy, and after that go arrest a crazy hijacking bus driver with a big gun who really, really hated Tal's story. Meanwhile, Tal was dreaming and completely forgot to mess with people via ICQ. In Nevada, WC didn't have any problems forgetting anything, and could still remember every single detail about the MCP he saw in a movie. MCPs were no problem up in Canada, however, where stupid kids ran amok, and Chrispy was up to his old tricks. And in reading this, I was reminded of my own Grand Experiment (along with the end of it), and how some suckers believed JAN WILLEM WAS GONNA TAKE OVER THE DINK COMMUNTIY and make 100s of terabytes of Dink Forever-type D-Mods. The End
