RE: What's on your mind? - kyonides - 01-13-2022

Grinning Well, I've finally published my famous story Looking for a Save Point on FictionPress.

Happy with a sweat Yeah well, it's just the third book entitled The City of Yore. For obvious reasons, at least for the local forumers, I had to rename one of the main characters. Now she's called Liana. Laughing I'm laughing because it obviously means some sort of natural rope. Thinking Now that I think about that, it surely fits her personality there.

I only did that because some friend of mine suggested making a CGI animation of that story. Confused Well, I'm not rich Cash so I dunno how exactly is he expecting to come up with some sort of short clip alias mini episode, with no payment expected any time soon, based on my slow paced story. Book 

Happy with a sweat Fine, according to our resident bag of fleas that love coconut parfume, my stories are always slow paced. Laughing
I can't help it, that's how I love to write them in the first place. Happy

On the other hand, there's some online company telling me, for the second time ever, that they wanna send me a contract for publishing my stories on their PC website and Cellphone cellphone app. Nonetheless, I can't trust them just like that for they seem to be located in China... And I don't think I'll learn Mandarin any time soon. Confused


RE: What's on your mind? - kyonides - 01-21-2022

As of late, I've been pissing Remi off just for fun! Tongue sticking out

Laughing Nah, I just wanted to tell you that I asked some Spanish speaking newspaper if they would like to publish the Spanish version of my story entitled Me the Conspiranoid (actually Me el Conspiranoico). It's a short novel that consists of 4 chapters only. Yeah, I warned them that I have not finished it just in case they complained about that later on. Winking

Thinking I wonder what would they do next. Will they ever publish it? Confused

First of all, I got to admit it is not some renown newspaper at all, they consider themselves as dissidents. And you know, that's not a problem at all, guys! Laughing Keep in mind my story handles a guy that thinks he's living in a world full of conspiracies. Spy You could claim to have found out that the lead character is Fred from Conspiracies Retold Magazine! Shocked

So what will the crow or raven Crow do next? Thinking
But I gotta be positive, right guys? Grinning
[Image: d1f33fb59e7bd3a172cc4cffdcd020c6.jpg]
Or perhaps being POSITIVE isn't always a good thing after all. Confused



RE: What's on your mind? - kyonides - 02-27-2022

Since I've not been very creative as of late, I was wondering if I should start writing a new story based on what's happening in Ukraine. It might be entitled The Red Empires, starring Russia and China under pseudonyms and Queen Liana alias Lani as the evil monarch of the Western Blue Empire. Laughing

What do you think about such an idea, guys? Happy with a sweat


RE: What's on your mind? - Kain Nobel - 02-27-2022

Hello and good day everyone!

First off, this is not SPAM, a SCAM, nor am I affiliated with this company but I'm going to put this out there because it sounds like an awesome opportunity.

JetBrains is hiring for a ton of positions in Munich, Germany, Prague, Czech Republic and Amsterdam, Netherlands. They're not hiring for much in the USA or anywhere else but even so I'd still encourage brave souls to apply. This is a great company and they make great software tools! I'm only posting this here because I know we have some talented people hanging out around here ;)

For anybody interested in a software developer job who lives in these locations, let them know because the job sounds pretty sweet. Who can argue with 5 weeks paid vacation? Are they really offering that? I don't even get that and I own my own business lol

So anyways, I'm not affiliated with JetBrains in any way but I'm sending in an application just for the heck of it. They're not hiring for much in the USA, but who cares? What are they going to do to me, tell me no? Tell me yes? OMG the horror! D:

...I've wasted my time on worse things, I'm applying :D

If anybody knows of any other good jobs out there related to these kinds of fields, maybe even something a little more entry level n00b friendly, let me know. I might not be the candidate they're looking for, but sometimes people know people who know people... and I might be PERFECT for the job ;)

In other words; business has slowed down a bit and I need some dollars! Also, this sounds like an excellent opportunity, I figured I'd share it with everyone. With a global staffing shortage right now is probably the best time to make any kind of crazy leap you can make, you just might land somewhere excellent and be like "OMG I have fat stacks in my bank account and I love my job too WTF is going on?!" :D

Put those positive vibes out there, go get it! Tis the worst of times, tis the best of times, but I ain't got the time to worry about nonsense I gotta keep moving forward! And if they tell me/you/us NO?! Too bad, so sad, onto the next one! I'd say use the coronavirus crisis as a time of opportunity, start applying for jobs you wouldn't normally apply for and see what you can get into, especially if you think you're good at something. I don't even pay attention to the "we want a senior developer with 5+ years experience leading ninjas" crap anymore because I think of that more as a "wish list" than a realistic expectation. All job postings look like that. It's nonsense. Laugh at it and just apply.

This has been a public service announcement by your friendly neighborhood Kain Nobel.


RE: What's on your mind? - kyonides - 03-19-2022

After checking out how many chapters one of Remi's story had posted on the board, I found something weird that made me laugh Laughing in no time. It was her character "Miss Bhavaria" to be precise.

For most of you that might mean practically nothing, while others might realize it sounds like Bayern, Germany (think on Munich or even Bayern München). For me it meant "Miss Alcoholic Beverage" because that is the brand of one of the famous Costa Rican beers, namely Bavaria, a recipe allegedly crafted by some German immigrant and brewmaster that lived in Costa Rica long time ago.

I really hope I don't have a twisted mind at all. Happy with a sweat


RE: What's on your mind? - DerVVulfman - 03-20-2022

You DO realize that Baveria is a real place in Germany, and that many last names are based on where a family originated? Having a name like Bhavaria would not be so unusual. Otherwise, explain the author Jack London who wrote "The Sea-Wolf" and "White Fang", or the actor Jaime de Hoyos (the original Mariachi in El Mariachi) whose name originates from Hoyos, Spain.


RE: What's on your mind? - kyonides - 03-21-2022

Of course I did! Otherwise I wouldn't have told everybody that it's referring to Bayern, Germany. Serious
Its Latinized name would be Bavaria... In Spanish it'd be Baviera.

Now let's meet the zapallo! Shocked

It's basically some zucchini or courgette. Happy with a sweat


RE: What's on your mind? - Kain Nobel - 04-02-2022

I'm feeling pretty disillusioned with modern tech these days. Something tells me we're going backwards and forgetting what good design actually consists of. It's almost like everything is just rushed, rushed, rushed. "You've got exactly 40 hours to make me something that doesn't work very well" "Yes boss, I'm on it!" "Tell your engineers to not put too much effort into making it usable" "Not a problem, easy $, cha-ching, cha-ching!"

"So... what are we building today?"

"Nothing, we've outsourced to China. We're laying off most of the engineering team. Don't worry, I have a sales gig for you though; we (China) just manufactured 20,000 wifi enabled toasters, we need you to sell it to the masses."

"Aye aye, Cap'n!"

...Something like that...


RE: What's on your mind? - kyonides - 04-11-2022

Inspiration sucks. Especially when you're waiting for it to show up only to get disappointed over and over again. Nope, reading other people's works doesn't guarantee you'll get inspired or motivated to write anything.

Political Issues


Conference on Ukraine


Anime Reviews

Guys, who has watched the Bruce Lee movie where Chuck Norris debuted(?) as a martial artist on the silver screen?

It doesn't matter if you watched it fully or partially.


RE: What's on your mind? - kyonides - 04-20-2022

I was watching NTD News online and got confused after a Reporter reporter named Arian Pasdar commented on the new Uber and Lyft guidelines that made Facemask optional.

Thinking Are they fully aware of the fact that there's an actor called Adrian Pasdar out there?
Happy with a sweat You know, he even voiced Tony Stark in Iron Man Iron Man anime back in the days.
