I guess, maybe. Maybe they lose. How are we defining this? I've become fed up with the random stuff for random people and/or companies I've never heard of that keeps turning up in the PO box, so I finally asked the post office employee if there was something to be done about it, so now we have a sign. [My name] and [Aniko's name] ONLY! It is on a post-it note stuck on the inside wall of the boxes. Hopefully it helps. (I had to do this to the street address mailbox, as well, though I did that one months ago, as the problem was much more severe. I mean, we were getting the previous tenant's phone bills and child support services stuff.) I guess this means that if you were considering sending me anything, make sure you use my proper last name and at least the correct first initial.
I have been informed that a conversation between Transformers movie characters Sam Witwicky + Bumblebee and "GT"-verse Clarkson + Mirage would be hilarious. I am inclined to agree. Commiserating humans and affronted cars? Hard to go wrong. (Then I spent time at work figuring how I'd make "GT" movie-verse compliant. It'd need tweaking in some places, but I don't think it'd be that hard. I'm not actually interested in doing anything with it, but it was good for keeping my brain occupied while I worked.)
And haha, Dissidia is quizzing me on my random Final Fantasy knowledge. This is going to be fun. (HEY, PEOPLE UNFAMILIAR WITH FFXI, which is most of you, when you're synchronizing with Mumor, /dance2 performs the LOVELY MIRACLE WALTZ Dancing Force. The Samba is /dance1 and both 3 and 4 are jigs, but Neo Crystal was 3. And if you don't use "/dance2 motion" everyone will hate you. CHATLOG SPAM GO AWAY)
HEY SPEAKING OF FFXI. RANT:
FFXI ACCOUNT HACKINGS OH BOY. This shit is terrifying to me, okay? I have invested entirely too much time and effort and money augh into my characters, and I love all three of them, and the thought of losing them because of some soulless bastard RMTs is deeply upsetting. I am honestly afraid to log in. I think I joked about that back when SE was handing out seemingly random perma-bans, but during these times, I really do mean it. I desperately want to, to see if my passwords still work, to see if we're all still on Phoenix, to see if we all still have all our items and gil, but these hackings seem to be happening after you log in, which means they may have a virus out there (planted in all the FFXI sites, most likely) that lifts your passwords (including the one-time pass from the security token), or that they've hacked SE's sites or server info. Theories are all over the place. We have no solid information. People with the security tokens are getting hacked. People on the PS2 are getting hacked and that DOESN'T HAPPEN. I don't know, am I willing to risk my account to check my account? Three day weekend coming up, with Labor Day on Monday. Batten down the hatches and brace for impact and hopefully we ride this one out, too. None of us (being my brother, Aniko, and myself) have logged in recently, as far as I know (well, I know my brother and I haven't), so we're safe if it's a virus, but a virus really, really doesn't explain the PS2 hacks. If it's that one of the registration sites has been hacked, we're (or, at least, my brother and I. Aniko has a token) safe, but if SE has been hacked, no one is. I am afraid.
