I've been watching Hawking on youtube over the past few nights. It's an interesting demonstration of Benedict Cumberbatch's versatility as an actor when I compare his performance to the other things I've seen him in, since Peter Guillam is sympathetic but very stoic and Sherlock is intense and eccentric and slightly creepy at times. As baby!Stephen Hawking, by contrast, BC is rather moe. He actually smiles (more than once!), and he uses physics trivia to flirt with girls, and there's a scene in the hospital when he's wearing pajamas and those big Buddy Holly glasses and he looks about fifteen, and he is the biggest *dork* when he's talking to his girlfriend. He even manages to be cute despite playing an unrepentant Wagner fanboy. I just wanted to take him home and feed him soup and creme brulee.
Oddly enough, I wound up checking out a few books on physics and cosmology because of this. Benedict-as-Stephen just radiates such pure adorable joy when he's Doing Science that I thought "This could be really interesting. I need to check it out." (Oddly enough, reading romance stories, even well-written material about happy relationships, doesn't normally induce this reaction. I never thought "Why don't I have a time-traveling Russian spy boyfriend.")
I'm not sure how accurate it is as a recreation of historical events - at the very least, the little reading I've done suggests that the order of some of the events has been played with - but for what it is, it's enjoyable and affecting without being glurgy. |

Aloha, LiveJournal. DreamWidth. Whatever.
All my college work is done and I am now just a plain old regular NEET like everyone else. I have some plans - music-related, money-getting plans - but not much energy with which to do them yet. So I'm thinking. I MIGHT have a bit of a job working on an indie game, which will be nice.
Rates negotiable, possibly even free.
I can work with latex, resin, etc., as well as the usual polyclay/papier maché stuff. I also sew a bit. Again, rates negotiable.
If you're interested in any of this, email me at haboism[at]yahoo[dot]co[dot]uk or send me a whateverjournal PM or a Twitter DM or just say my name in front of your mirror three times.
I'm also Plurking a bit. I'm at deepfamilysfish, Friend me if you use it too. I need more Plurk friends. I mostly use it as a Twitter substitute for when I have to scream about slashfic/etc.
Tomorrow is THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST. Tomorrow, I'll write a big review post of all the songs already kicked out of the contest. Let's do this.

| Oblivion |
[May. 25th, 2012|07:56 pm] |
?????
This game got very good reviews... How did people tolerate the absolutely terrible font? Yellow text plastered over another shadow of yellow? WTF? And the font's not even that to begin with. There's so many in-game novels in Oblivion, again this nasty color scheme. There's no way to change it. The translators poured all their time and effort into a brilliant translation only to have it ruined by disgusting color scheme that could have easily been fixed.
$#&%' Oblivion. I turned on Umineko no Naku Koro ni right after and I cannot believe how beautiful and easy-to-read the text is.
So I'm selling Oblivion. |

I really like the idea of playing a qlippoth-spawn tiefling as some kind of crimefighter (they do hate the sins of mortals), but finding a police force willing to employ a humanoid abomination might take some doing. A self-employed masked vigilante could still work - something more Rorschach than Batman. (I see Qlippothschach's sexual hangups as stemming from an intense aversion to reproduction - not in the militant childfree sense, but in the "People like me are *really* not supposed to exist in this world, and also any children I begat with a mortal woman would probably kill their mother before they were born, so it's just. not. worth it" sense.) |

Going to see The Protomen, Powerglove, and Danimal Cannon tonight. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
I've been eating anxiety pills like nobody's business.
Also, I'm sure this is old news by now, but Woodkid released another amazing music video. I've been watching it for quite a while now. It's awesome.
I also got real sadface today when someone pointed out 'nobody' plays Team Fortress 2 anymore. Someone else disproved that by showing stats of, at the time, nearly 23k users playing. 23k?! That's it?! (It's at 44k now, and is second place behind Counter Strike at 50k, but... that... still strikes me as low. Maybe it's just because it's a weekday and still early in America Time.)
I swear, the whole free-to-play thing killed it. It's been a sharp decline ever since. And I know it was a move to correct the steady decline already happening... which I feel was caused by too many shit/promo items flooding the inventory. BUT NOW LOOK AT IT. HA. HAHA. Oh, look at me whine about a frickin' FPS.
FPS-turned-MMORPG, that is. |

For all that I try (with a highly variable degree of success) to have a diverse cast of sensitively portrayed, three-dimensional people, sometimes I get the feeling that most of my characters wouldn't really fit in well in online social justice circles. Galatea Xiao, Shoshannah Diamond, and Marcella Argento both have Standards of Civil Discourse that they unabashedly apply to other people as well as themselves, verging into tone argument territory at times. (As they see it, good behavior is good behavior even for people who aren't psychics whose unfettered bad moods could induce a Hate Plague, giant lizard women who can make a waitress tremble in her sneakers by telling her that the toast is cold, or creatures of the night whose acceptance in polite society requires a non-threatening persona.) (Oddly enough, Marcella's had uneven luck trying to get her own roommate to be polite on a consistent basis, which may be why her tolerance for poorly-spelled righteous wrath online tends to wear thin.)
All the girls in Maenad are, while open-minded, kind of politically naive (Musa a little less than the rest), and Yanang's a troll. Amalthea Lovelace would be out of her depth, and would rather be gushing about bands she likes and posting pictures of baby animals in any case. Viviane's a little too fond of dismissing the feelings of others, and tends to come across as, in the words of one of her offline acquaintances, "an arrogant, pretentious, overprivileged white girl with no grasp of basic morality or sense of human feeling." Delilah Danvers' priorities are either frivolous or pragmatic. Miri Nightingale comes from a world where the issues are all different and would have no context. Undine Malifaux and Artemisia Mandrake aren't really the sort of people you discuss societal power imbalances with - not because they're affluent college-educated white women, but because as they see it, there's "situations where I'm in control," and "situations where I *ought* to be in control."
Kate Cadaver and Victoria Paracelsus would probably be the best fits, if Kate cared to restrain her persistent desire to mess with people who seem to be enjoying their moral high grounds a little too much (possible but unlikely) and Victoria toned down the overt megalomania. (I find this hilarious, since Victoria originated as a Magneto expy.)
I don't know if this says something about my taste in OFCs, or just that I'm intimidated by politics and ideology and this leaks out into my writing. |

| Tools to Develop Self-esteem |
[May. 23rd, 2012|07:23 pm] |
Tools to Develop Self-esteem Here are 25 steps for developing self-esteem:
1) Figure out what your problem is. Realize your problem isn’t who you are, it’s what you have used to protect your physical and emotional well being. It’s hiding who you are: a beautiful human being, a wonderful source of awareness, knowledge, creativity, love and joy. If you practice self-esteem based on the faith that this is who you really are, then your problem will dissolve.
2) Figure out who you are. Take self-evaluation quizzes. Learn as much as you can about who you are and why you think and feel the way you do. Self-knowledge is a key to success.
3) Decide what you can and can’t control. Change and act on the things that are in your control and release the things that are out of your control.
4) Accept responsibility. Finding self-confidence requires accepting responsibility for your own happiness, and recognizing that you are a product not only of your genetic code and your environment, but of the choices you make. Begin your day with the words "I am responsible."
5) Make anxiety your ally. Write down your worries for 30 days. Nagging concerns that loom so large in your imagination lose their power on paper. Amazingly, after writing them down the anxieties begin to fade.
6) Recognize that mistakes are opportunities. Keep the setback in perspective. Most mistakes are not personal tragedies; rather they are problems you now have the opportunity to solve. "Success," is often a string of failed attempts to get it right.
7) Compete to improve yourself not to beat someone else.
8) Be ambitious. When setting goals, remember that you are distinct from what you have and what you seem to be. If you let others define who you are, you may not find happiness. Pursue your own dreams -- not your parent’s, mate’s, or your best friend’s.
9) Be brave and take risks. Don’t be afraid of mistakes. Risk-taking builds confidence. When considering any risk: define a clear goal. Review the positive, practical and potential losses. Determine whether the risk is one of trust, identity or something larger. When you focus on risks that have a larger purpose, you can’t go wrong. Even if the risk doesn’t turn out as you hoped it would, you will gain from it. Act. Take a risk. Be confident -- you have earned it.
10) Think and speak positively. If you hear a compliment or positive statement about someone you know pass that compliment on to them. An Arabian proverb puts it neatly: Blessed is he who speaks a kindness; thrice blessed he who repeats it.
11) Learn something new. Create a new hobby. Increase your vocabulary one word a week. Take on a new physical challenge or activity.
12) Spend time investing in your personal growth. This enables joy to flourish amid the fears and difficulties of life. Read self-help books and act on the knowledge.
13) Decisions: the next time you ponder a decision, think of everything that could go right and say to yourself, "What do I have to lose, really?
14) Smile and be courteous. Use the words please and thank you consistently.
15) Be aware of media’s messages. Their goal is to make you feel bad about yourself so you will buy what they are selling.
16) Keep good company. Positive feeds positive and negative breeds negative. If you choose to be around positive people you in turn will become more positive.
17) Reward yourself. Give yourself and others positive rewards for being and doing well.
18) Don’t accept messages that damage your own self-esteem. It is much easier to improve or change your behavior when you believe you are lovable and capable.
19) Be aware of the different messages that you hear in your head and remember to turn up the volume on the messages that contribute to your positive self-esteem and to turn down the volume on any message that encourages you to think negatively about your worth or ability.
20) You can improve the quality of messages you have in your head about being lovable and capable. Use "how to" statements in your head and take action on the answers you receive. Repeat positive affirmations to yourself & out loud as much as possible.
21) Negative messages can build esteem as long a they are not attacking your self worth or defining yourself as incapable. Properly delivered negative messages say "I care about myself. I am a worthwhile person and I can learn how to do things better."
22) Any thoughts that take us away from a positive feeling are not worth having or defending. If you want to be happy, follow your happy feelings, not your unhappy ones.
23) The moment you hear a critical remark, ask yourself, "What’s on this person’s screen?" Assume that all critical remarks arise from some shortcoming. Remember that people can only criticize what’s on their screen and that their screens are not reliable. It’s very unlikely that any criticism is based on an accurate perception of you. It’s much more likely that the critic is reacting to emotions, memories, and behavior patterns that have almost nothing to do with you. Thinking poorly about yourself because of such critics is a mistake. When someone criticizes you do and say the following: Smile and say to yourself, "Boy, I wonder what’s on their screen to make them so critical of me?" Remember it’s about them not about you.
24) Remember that all criticism shares one characteristic: it is unwelcome. You didn’t invite people to dump the distorted contents of their screen on you. You may feel that you owe some critics a response, but you never owe a critic your self-esteem.
25) A small success can bring big feeling of competence. Small steps lead to more steps. Pat your self on the back every time you make a small success. Every step counts. Take one step at a time in a positive direction, this is the practice of self-esteem. |

| Awwwwwwwww shit more big bangs |
[May. 23rd, 2012|10:19 pm] |
So the last time I did a Big Bang (like 3 weeks ago) I ended up with 130k and it was a tremendous effort and pretty stressful toward the end, and I said I don't want to do Big Bangs anymore (even though I'm extremely pleased with the outcome).
So I signed up for the Person of Interest summer bang.
And now I'm eying dcu_bang.
Because it's only 10k and it can be a crossover, and I've been psyching myself up to write Wayne/Stark for a while now.
10k is not that bad at all, I can crank that out in a weekend if I have to. It could literally be all porn if I wanted. That's not bad, right!? You'd read that, wouldn't you!?
Some part of me still feels bad about bailing on the X-men bang last year...
OH FUCK I just checked tumblr while writing this entry and there's a Marvel bang with the same schedule, wtf. Which do I enter!?
*writes the fic from both perspectives and enters both is that legal??*
Shit if it's a Marvel Bang I can do that X-men one after all........ gdi It was going to be Charles Xavier/Hannibal Lector

I just went to Leeds Meeples and it was totally, amazingly radwonderful. It was exactly what I needed as post-academic de-pressurisation - to sit with other nerds and just chill out while being myself. And as someone who doesn't get to socialise in person with big groups of other nerds often, it was amazing! I accidentally blurted out a Metal Gear reference in a game of Articulate (clue: "Outer ____?" Me: "HEAVEN") and people thought it was endearing rather than just confusing. And I absolutely WIPED THE FLOOR at Apples to Apples, which was pretty nice. All the people were absolutely lovely and put up with my overexcited post-college babbling with the utmost kindness. And the food was great, too. I had delicious roast vegetable cous-cous and a huge pot of gorgeous tea.
If you're in Leeds, and like board games, I really recommend it.

| Let's Play A Game! |
[May. 22nd, 2012|05:53 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| | curious | ] | So, here I am in my cubicle at work, and a shimmering time-space vortex has suddenly appeared -- as they do -- to engulf me and send me I know not whence.
I have only one minute to grab what I can before being transported into... a vaguely medieval Europe-ish fantasy land? A twenty-fourth century starship? An arid wasteland of lurking horrors? What to pack?
Well, fortunately I have my leather messenger bag (I use it as a laptop case) and a stack of sturdy canvas bookbags (unclaimed Summer Reading prizes) close at hand. Dumping out the electronics (how could I keep them charged?) I fill them up with the easy stuff: 1. Water bottle 2. Stash of snacks and candy I keep hidden in drawers 3. Fork and paring knife (the closest thing I have to weapons) 4. Tylenol, ibuprofen, cold and flu medication, bandaids, hand sanitizer 5. Running shoes and extra socks I keep in case I'm inclined to go for a walk on my lunch break
Okay, I've got forty-five seconds and plenty of room left. As a librarian, my shelves are covered with books, books, and more books. Unfortunately, none of them are anything like Edible Wild Plants or How To Build A Boat or Assuming Command Of A Starfighter For Dummies. I doubt that my American Heritage Dictionary or Book Lust or Beyond Heaving Bosoms or a complete paperback run of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series (it was a donation! I swear!) would be worth the weight. What else do I have? 6. Roll of string, because string is always useful! 7. Scissors, because the same, and also could be a weapon 8. Magnetized bookmarks, for the magnets 9. Small box of tampons, because I really don't want to think about the alternatives 10. Altoids tin filled with shiny coins, because maybe I could barter with them 11. Small tins of and tubes of scented hand creams and lotions, because ditto 12. The two unmatched "found" earrings in my drawer -- an amethyst and an opal -- because ditto 13. The whole box of pens and pencils, including the rainbow sharpies, and a sheaf of blank paper, because the past, future, or "other" economy, the ability and means to produce a nice picture (especially a flattering but recognizable portrait) should always be relatively rare and worth something to somebody
Huh. The bags are getting pretty full and I'm running out of time. What else? 14. The sparkly fake gem encrusted boxes and doodads on my toy shelf. Maybe I can trade them to credulous natives for Manhattan. 15. Pictures of the spouse and kids. It took me this long to think of those? That's embarrassing! 16. Is there room for a packet of tissues? There is! Well, wherever I end up, at least I'll be able to blow my nose decorously.
Time's up. I sling a bag over each shoulder and grab my knit poncho and walking stick before the portal swallows me whole.
I wonder how well prepared I am for what awaits beyond me.
How about you? Look around you right now (no fair running to the kitchen or the garage or the Mad Lair of Secret Villainy if you're not already there) and tell me what you would pack! |

Hi. This might be a little off topic, so I apologize in advance... I want to order a textbook from Japan that comes with a CD Rom.

Anyone out there know the answer? Thanks! |

| Social Gaming |
[May. 22nd, 2012|10:21 am] |
I don't know much about social media. I don't have a facebook or twitter account. But I've been told a few people have them, and that some of those people like to play social media games. I'm told the biggest social media game involves running a farm.
Surely, I thought, there must be something one could do on social media that would be more fun that growing turnips and feeding chickens. Like, say, scheming and plotting, murders and marriages, contesting for power.
HBO shared the feeling, and together we have granted the license for a social media game based on GAME OF THRONES to a great new start-up company called Disruptor Beam ((http://disruptorbeam.com/ )) Game development is already well under way. Jon Radoff, CEO of Disruptor Beam, says:
"This will be the first Facebook game based on the TV series and books and, trust me, this game isn’t just going to be another Farmville! George RR Martin is working very closely with Disruptor Beam to ensure the game will deliver an authentic experience. I can tell you that it will not only be highly story and character-driven, but Game of Thrones Ascent will give you the chance to experience the world from your own perspective and with your own friends."
"Sounds fun, right!? Want to know more? Well, additional information about the game will be released in the coming months, including details about how to participate in a pre-release beta program. To follow its progress, be sure to “like” Game of Thrones Ascent on Facebook (http://facebook.com/gameofthronesascent) or follow on Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/GoTAscent)."

I saw several early versions of the game demonstrated, and Jon and his designers took great pains to make sure the flavor of the novels is here. I saw alliance building, treachery, marriages, murders, and most of all the constant struggle to be the greatest house in Westeros.
So create a character, pick a liege lord to swear to, and start playing the game the way Tyrion would, because in this game you win or you die.
(No turnips will be involved). |

| THE VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE by A.E. van Vogt |
[May. 22nd, 2012|12:46 am] |
|
It's been a while since I bored into a book like a hopped-up literary woodpecker, so here's some brain spillage originally written last year and never posted.

Left: "Black Destroyer," 1939
Right: Current edition from Orb Books.
Hot jets, Kinnison! What a jaunt in the way-back machine this is. I first became aware of The Voyage of the Space Beagle via Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials as a kid, and once again waited a mere two decades before reading the source material. At this rate, I'll have all of my seventh-grade math homework turned in by December, 2013.
Voyage is a 1950 fix-up of four previously published short stories, forming a loosely chronological account of the titular Space Beagle's multi-year exploration beyond the confines of the Milky Way. Its thousand-man crew, chemically castrated for the duration to keep their minds firmly on Doing Science, is preyed upon by a series of increasingly dangerous creatures, and must also deal with internal pressures, scientific disputes, and a case of dreaded SPACE MADNESS.
The Voyage of the Space Beagle was influential as all hell, out of proportion to what's actually on the page. Philip K. Dick claimed van Vogt as a major influence; so did Harlan Ellison. You can see it here, a distinct flavor that was carried into Ellison's early SF work. You can also see this book's profound effect on Star Trek, with its strange planets, predatory aliens, and mysterious threats to the ship. Van Vogt even took legal action against the producers of the 1979 movie Alien, a suit that was settled out of court, based on arguable similarities between xenomorphs and his own egg-implanting Ixtl.
Voyage is an affable relic of the Big Science Done Big era of SF. The ship jaunts about at hyperluminary speeds, courtesy of Whoosh-Zoom engines powered by authorial whim. There are all the expected toys... gigantic heat-rays, semi-portable atomic furnaces, visiplates, vibrator guns. It has the same ludicrous-but-lovable feel of Doc Smith's Lensmen series, where scientific progress is almost always just a matter of dumping more power into a bigger thingamajig (if you yelled "BUS BARS!" just now, bless you).
What it isn't, curiously enough, is a true log of a voyage and its voyagers. The episodic nature of the story would be less stark if there were some context provided, some glimpse of home, some notion of how the Space Beagle compares to anything else humanity is doing. Exploring vacuum in a vacuum is not as interesting as it could be. No real narrative integument was provided when these short stories were stitched into the vague shape of a novel.
Also, the real heart of the book, for which the voyage is merely a framing device, is how an advanced interdisciplinary approach to the sciences called Nexialism proves the best solution to each of the Beagle's challenges when the more stratified and traditional sciences allegedly fall short of the big picture. This is all well and good as far as hobbyhorses go, but it would have helped the story if some of the solutions implemented to fend off each alien attack weren't so conveniently dim-witted.
For example, in the novel's first major incident, adapted from the short story "Black Destroyer," a panther-like creature called coeurl feigns harmlessness to get aboard the Beagle. Coeurl is actually a ravenous, ultra-strong, life-draining predator, with the ability to detect and manipulate energy using whisker-like appendages. It can neutralize the deadly force of human weapons, a fact the humans realize once the thing is on the loose and killing people. So, when coeurl (constantly referred to by the men as "pussy")* locks itself in the Beagle's engine spaces, what do they do? Do they even attempt to poison it? To asphyxiate it? Nope. They wheel out their gigantic heat-ray projectors and start melting their way into the engine room.
Yes. To deal with an energy-manipulating creature, they hurl more energy at it! While it's mucking with the ship's engines, no less. The Beagle is described as having a truly impressive workshop capacity, but even so, you'd think the notion of blasting apart your own engine compartment when your ship is thousands of light-centuries from home would give sober and non-libidinous men pause. What do they expect to do if they melt their propulsion center, break out the oars?
There is also a puzzlingly gimlet-eyed overuse of purely speculative social science (though van Vogt deserves props for making his social scientist, Korita, Japanese in a time when the Japanese were not exactly sympathetically portrayed in much American media). Korita is constantly brought on stage to speculate on the social structure and cultural foibles of the singular aliens the Beagle encounters, always in the complete absence of any shred of context or evidence. Yet Korita is made to accurately diagnose potential weaknesses in the hearts and minds of these creatures (nobody even brings up the possibility that these entities might be outcast or atypical) This ain't science, even in a context that generously allows for atomic rayguns and Whoosh-Zoom engines. It's bullshit without a scaffold.
Despite this, The Voyage of the Space Beagle still moves smoothly across the eyeballs in a way too many of its contemporaries couldn't aspire to even when they were fresh. It's reasonable and penetrable fun; penetrable, perhaps, because it had such a hand in defining a certain geometry of space opera still quite familiar to us decades later.
Damon Knight was often criticized for his perceived harshness toward van Vogt's work, but I think Knight judged fairly in 1950 when he wrote: "...this department's thesis on van Vogt is (a) that the man has a very respectable talent as a writer, and (b) that he consistently misuses it." Van Vogt operated energetically in both the thoughtful and thoughtless modes of invention, and if he fell short of constructing mature narratives, at least he had the ability to occasionally evoke real feelings of mystery and awe.
*****
*It is an exceptionally juvenile cheap shot, I admit, but it's difficult to keep a straight face at frequent reference to how the voyagers "beat pussy" and "chased pussy off the ship." They're two million light-years from the nearest woman and drenched in libido-deadening drugs; no shit they chased pussy off the ship. |
