How not to hire artists #17265123

Here’s a protip for you. Coming into a thread where I’m forced to once again defend an offer I’ve made (this is what the 3rd or 4th time I’ve had to deal with this crap… and only at this site where artist entitlement is in direct opposition to artist talent level) and accusing me of being an angry teenager is going to get you the same slapdown I’ve been handing out to everyone else.

I couldn’t care less if anyone here wants to work with me. If they don’t agree with my perspective then we wouldn’t get beyond jumpstreet to begin with. It’s scorched Earth time. So take your sanctimonious voice of reason and go draw shitty dragons with Mary. You two will be retardedly happy with one another.

Well, this is odd.

A number of posts on my LiveJournal, from December 2007 to June 2008, except for friendslocked ones, have vanished. They’re still here on the blog, at least. Compare and contrast:

March 2008, here

March 2008, there

And yeah, the crossposter was working, those posts were getting shuttled over to the LJ, because if you’ll notice one of the blog posts contains a link to its LJ counterpart because relevant new info came up in comments.

I don’t know what to think about this. I think it is entirely possible that one of the crossposter plugins I use over here did something weird. I think it is also entirely possible that something just went goofy at LJ’s end and demon-Frank ate my posts. I also think it is hell of fishy that only posts in that timeframe were affected. And I know for sure that I didn’t delete them off the LJ and leave them here. And there really wasn’t even enough criticism of LJ going on in that timeframe (and what there was was pretty mild) to even suggest that OMG LJ STAFF IZ CENSORING MEEEE CALL TEH BBB AND ACLU. I’ll just chalk it up to random WTFery and leave it there.

So, uh… good thing I crosspost from a blog, I guess?

Helpful Pokemon Hint

When you are fighting a trainer that’s using a lv. 8 Bellsprout (Grass type), and you get that Bellsprout down to like 1 or 2 HP, do not be tempted to go “hurr, I’ll let mah [lv. 6] Poliwag [Water type] finish it off, woot XP!”

Especially do not do this on a run where you are playing by rules that basically treat any fainted Pokemon as if they have died.

I’m using the “shove them into a PC box” method of removing “dead” Pokemon from the party, because a) it allows me to keep track of just how many Pokemon my ineptitude ends up slaughtering and b) the ever-growing Pokeboneyard will be one more thing to screencap and hang out for y’all to point and laugh at as this run goes on.
