It’s weird being able to stare directly into the sun. It’s weirder to be able to stare directly at a crimson red sun. There are fires raging in the eastern part of Southern California. People are being evacuated and winds going at 40MPH+ are blowing ash toward the western counties.

What does this have to do with anything? I live in Southern California! My town of Chula Vista is due west of the flames, you can seriously smell the ash from where I live. My doors are banging and the news are showing such intense images. Crazy, too bad you can’t see it on Google Maps. Not that you would want to see fire in forest-level scale… read more

What the hell is wrong with people?
This just happened to me like a couple of minutes ago.
I am not aiming for sympathy, but come on now.
Loot hacking? Picking up things quickly? Does anybody know you can hold down the loot button so you can loot all the stuff you got from the kill? It pains me to think this is what others have come to…

I just met a great guy today too, who totally tries to crack down on hackers. And then I come across this girl, who apparrently thinks EVERYTHING that she doesn’t know how to do is a hack and just needs to be reported (generalization, I know.. but thats what it seemed like to me) read more

For some reason today was just the worst possible kind of day, where time flew by so slowly and I was worried the whole day about stupid things in life.

This whole day has been a daunting task to take my mind off what I think is a huge problem. Even though people keep telling me over and over again that its fine and its impossible, I’m the kind of person who needs to be sure of it myself. That will happen tomorrow, but for right now I’m in the worried-mode for dlanijer. This is where I get very tense and I tend to sit around my computer doing research .. or blogging now. I intended to play Maple Story, but server checks own my timing. Work also made leveling difficult. read more

In Maple Story, one of these most said internet acronyms is the game-specific term CC. CC stands for Change Channels and taking the words in isolated events, it is asking someone to remove their avatar from the current channel space and relocate to another. Basically, it is asking people to get the heck out. Or is it? The former, detailed definition prompts a very subtle, but blunt way of stating someone’s intent. The latter provides a very harsh terminology that offends everybody who hears it. The latter definition is the most taken connotation of the term and is where the loathing of the acronym comes from, which is along the lines of general internet gaming words such as n00b (typically representing a new player to the game, but often used as an insulting name along the lines of dumbass) or pwn (which is used as an action word revolving around success, but is also a harsh and blunt way of saying “I just kicked your butt, buddy&quot. Since the term CC is a very isolated phenomenon, researching the usage is limited to knowledge only for the players of Maple Story. However, the data could have ramifications to internet speak in terms of what words become positively connotative and negatively connotative. read more

My currents picture is also up on Profil3, Name: DitJin.

Update: I’m sorry for spamming the blog space, it wont happen again. I forgot that when I post a blog its posted on the front page every time, so it seems like I upset tons of people by adding a useless post, so I’ll make it useful. The harsh comments will just be a reminder to myself, thanks. Internets = harsh reality. O_o;; read more

So my first actual post will be on my leveling so far. I’ve had my Beran Rogue for the longest time, and actually the leveling up part was pretty simple. I always check guides, they are my lifeline to playing MMORPGs. I play best when I learn from others, whether its mistakes or serendipity on their part. Hopefully this just shows those who are just like me what to go through when making what I am aiming for right now. read more

Welcome to my Maple Story blog! My name is Dlanijer, call me whatever. Shanaiwa.
So how about a little history lesson? Or rather a mini-biography?

I’m a college student who still plays video games.
I’ve been on and off [mostly off] in Maple Story for 2 years.
I can’t stick to one character (until today that is). They are all so neat.
I love anime, manga, Japanese culture in general.
Hirako Shinji is my idol. Seriously, that damn Vizard with the teethy grin. read more

Haha, I’ll have to go ahead and clarify for the responses I got in my last post.

I was generalizing thief stuff being expensive on accident, force of habit.
I look at a couple of things and I automatically assume, therefore making an ass out of me and.. the item?
In any case, sorry about that. But yeah, on Basil I rarely ever see a Green Bamboo Hat sold on Bera these past few days that was near the 15k i thought they would be. Actually, I just saw an auction today for 20k, which is not bad. But the past few auctions that I bid on were 30k and 60k. I lost the 30k one, so meh. read more
