disliked – because it has no concept of building a larger topic of things to work on, and showing an easy path to progress through them. Needing to pick through a large number of topics, sub-topics and quizzes and then manually and repeatedly going back into that list is inexcusably frustrating.

Five Things – 2016-06-29

2016-06-30

Five Things >

  • live projects were updated, to push some projects into the background.

  • World of Warcraft addons:

    • Experimented with other bag addons, because ArkInventory‘s freezing was pissing me off.
    • However, while AdiBags (and by extension LibItemSearch) works just fine, items bounce around in such an unexpected manner as to make it unusable.
    • I used BagSync too, but because it doesn’t label the current character, it’s obnoxious as hell.

A bag/bank addon notable for its pre-configured categories and ability to “thin down” the list of inventory items.

Not especially awesome, and it’s a far cry from what ArkInventory can do, but it’s simple and fast.

BagSync is recommended as a companion, since AdiBags knows/shows nothing about what’s in one’s bank or on alts.

  • TODO – figure out how to order the categories in their list. I’m sick of things being inconsistent and bouncing around.

In a world where video game characters are alive, a lonely bad guy tries to earn appreciation but ends up threatens ruin.

A fun movie, most appropriate for the nostalgia fans of various old arcade games. It goes very very old, like Pixels – (2015 movie), which puts it in a particularly odd space. I think this one ends up being childish and unique enough that its various reference aren’t in the way of an actual proper movie.
