Tinkering a bit

As I had suspected, using one of my old normal 2.5" HDDs resulted in higher battery usage than the hybrid. Guess I should have just deployed one of my SSDs for the time being, although their life is a bit more limited, but not to the point of being detrimental in the long run. Still, the temp is holding up quite nicely without any noticeable performance loss, other than the battery life issue. It can't even go further than the 2-hour classes I have. Which is annoying.

Something rather amusing popped up less than a week ago. A little something known as Twitch Plays Pokémon. There's something about watching thousands of Twitch viewers attempting to play the game in a "coordinated" manner that's just so funny. Their efforts are seemingly always being compromised by someone else unknowingly due to the lag the servers create. Before the whole thing really blew up a couple of days ago, they were actually able to get some decent progress in due to the noticeably lower input frequency. Now? They're having trouble getting through a puzzle floor. Not that I can really blame them for it. Hopefully they'll be able to get past it soon. Even their Google Docs has "Get the Lift Key" in rather large font, right beside "stop using dig" crossed out.


Still waiting for my copy of Sengoku BASARA 4 to come in. Wait to see if moving to the full-fledged MT Framework did it any good. It was "crippled" by being built on the MT Framework Lite due to it being multi-platform for both the Wii and PS3. Not that I had much of a problem with it since you could see all the crazy flowery decals on their models for both versions.
