This week in weird

So, I've been looking at Cursed over the weekend, trying to get the bugs fixed that people have been reporting. It's an annoying process, especially recreating them. And when that gets too annoying to continue, I'm working on the Internet Reporter job (which is actually kind of easy, but for the "interview" random event, which is kind of involved and, hopefully, interesting).

Sadly, I will not be able to stream tonight. My wife's car needed some work, and we have to pick it up tonight after she's done work, which means I won't be home until almost 9pm.

And Thursday? I got volunteered to help out my sister-in-law moving some furniture. And by "moving" I mean that I need to hang out at her apartment on the other side of town while furniture is delivered. I have no idea when that will be (apparently, the delivery guys are going to give me a half-hour window when they're close by), so the Thursday stream will be interrupted for a bit. But on the plus side, I'll be able to get food! And I'll probably stream longer to make up for it.

I've updated the goals for the next update with the stuff that I want to get done, which is essentially the stuff I wanted to get done for the last update, only...this update. I've also changed the "weekly goal" for donations to a "monthly goal". Same amount ($100 x 4 weeks = $400), but it places a significantly lower imperative for donations. Besides, I only got about three donations last month, so.

My birthday is a week from today! No idea what I'm planning to do for it. EDIT: Other than going to see The Avengers.

    1. Only until the point that she actually gives you her phone number. After that, no.

    2. damn.
      thanks for that succinct answer, it has been bugging me for a few days, that, and the fact that i spend two weeks building up friendship, and one "oops, wrong button" destroys that. is that how it's supposed to work? one screw up takes out two weeks worth of buildup?

    1. If you choose not to sell a stolen item, you will not get the option again.

  5. RAGS has failed me. I need to spend money to insert more than five variables.
    I am just going to write my text adventure in PHP or possibly Java.

    1. RAGS is totally worth supporting. It has provided me countless hours of, *ahem*, enjoyment. The license fee isn't too much, but I am not about to disrespect a man's pocketbook.

  6. I've been browsing the wiki and want to express concern over the business career branch. To be a personal secretary, apparently you need to be an office girl first, and to be an office girl you have to sleep with the VP. I think that there should be a way to be promoted to personal secretary in a legitimate manner, that is, without having to resort to performing sexual favors. My suggestion is that it should be possible for a secretary to skip the office girl position and jump straight into personal secretary by fulfilling more demanding requirements (e.g. requiring 20 points of job performance instead of 15 and requiring 35 points of office work skill instead of 30).

    I also think that being promoted to personal secretary by means of performing sexual favors beforehand should give your job different expectations. What I'm saying is that the business career should branch of into two areas, one where you earn promotions legitimately and one where you use sexual favors to advance your career. So there will be two different types of personal secretary, with different requirements to be promoted to such and requirements to maintain the position. For example, being promoted to personal secretary by means of sex should require you to maintain a decent figure, wear slightly provocative clothes and have sex on occasion otherwise your boss will find a bullshit reason to fire you.

    1. The business career DOES advance in two different directions. The Personal Secretary path is the non-sexual path, and the Office Girl path is the sexual path.

      If the wiki says otherwise, the wiki is wrong.

    2. I find that just odd. Personal as a word just drips with intimacy while office girl can be anything. You know, an office with a girl or something, maybe a girl with an office. Who knows!

    3. It's probably based around the Japanese use of the term Office Lady, or OL, as I don't think other cultures use it. An OL traditionally is a young woman in a company who performs small tasks around the office and perhaps provide a little eye-candy. Her main goal is to find a wealthy and successful husband in the company, and her job is simply a means to occupy her time until this happens, and isn't considered a 'serious' career.

      Of course, while she's doing this, she's still earning a wage and has access to any other company perks. A smart woman who knows how to play the system can easily make herself a tidy profit with minimal effort.
