Sugar, Spice and a Tempting Vice

VA! MC x OM! Characters

"Hey Levi, any new game recommendations for me? I just finished the last lot of books Satan suggested." You asked, plopping down your head on his shoulder to look at his screen.

"M-MC! You have to warn me before you do such things!" He muttered, his ears turning red as he scrolled some webpages pages for you. "But okay yeah these are the new games that are out recently... see anything you like?"

"Oh my God! It's out it's out!" You pointed excitedly at the screen. "Pretty Little Things is out! Finally!! I was dying to tell you all about it!"

Levi visibly stiffened up. "You-you were waiting for this particular game to come out? Are you sure it's not another game with a similar sounding name?"

"Nah uh this is the exact same one. Look up the list of voice actors in this game!"

"WHAT?! MC WHY IS YOUR NAME IN HERE?????"

"Yes! This was the new part-time job I couldn't tell you about since it was still in production! Im so glad you can just play it now!"

"...it's uh ready for download on all platforms already...so which character did voice?"

"Oh spoiler alert, my character is the only one that doesn't have a name, you have assign me one, the same way you name yourself. They even designed the characters to resemble all the VA's and add in some of their personalities, isn't that sweet?"

"Hahaha y-yeah definitely sweet! I'll be sure to check it out soon!"

"Great! Lemme know what you think of the game okay?!" You squeezed him in a small hug before you left.

Later in the Demon Brothers only group chat:

Levi: Code Red! Code Red! ASHSKSHSKSKSJJSKKS

Mammon: WHAT WHAT THAT MEANS AN MC RELATED EMERGENCY RIGHT??

Asmo: OMG are they OKAY?? Should I go check up on them in their room!?!

Satan: I'm already on my way.

Mammon: NOT BEFORE ME YOU'RE NOT!

Belphie: Is MC hurt in anyway?

Beel: Did they pass out from hunger?! I can bring them emergency snacks right away

Lucifer: Can you lot not lose your minds everytime MC is mentioned? Pathetic. Levi, calm down and tell us what's wrong.

Beel: But Lucifer I just saw you hurrying up the stairs to MC's room too...

Satan: Typical Lucifer. By the way, MC is perfectly fine, happy even. Levi what are you on about?

Mammon: Yeah MC can't stop smiling! It's a good thing that happened, you idiot! Why would you scare us like that?

Asmo: Omg apparently MC voice acted in a new game! Levi I need you to download it for me ASAP please!

Beel: Me too, please.

Belphie: Me three.

Lucifer: I've already done it, you all can do it yourselves if you could do your own work for once.

Satan: Oh shut up, MC just did it for you right now as they did it for me.

Levi: It's a Dating Simulator. With multiple H-rated DLC endings. And MC is one of the dateables.

...

Levi: Hello?!! Did you guys not see my message?!

Levi: Seriously no reaction?! You guys aren't freaked out by this?!?

Beel: I just heard several doors opening and closing at once.

Asmo: Oh come Levi, I think you already know what our reaction is Levi ♥️ How can we possibly hold in our excitement after such a news!?

Levi: Are you all downloading the game together?!!! Y'all are hogging the bandwidth too much, my download speed has gone way down!!

Simeon: Hey

Simeon: I heard some demons in a cafe, raving about a game where MC plays one of the main characters?

Solomon: Indeed MC just sent us all a link right now.

Simeon: Oh is that so? I'll get Luke to help me download it after he's done with his.

Levi: Luke is playing it too?! I don't think it's appropriate given it's certain hidden endings!!

Barbatos: MC already made sure of it. He only has access to the sibling and friendship routes. It's a special version they added for all ages.

Diavolo: It already has downloads in the ten thousands. I'm really glad to see how MC is beloved by Devildom.

Levi: Are NONE of you affected by the fact that there are erotic routes with MC's VOICE?!!

Solomon: Oh I personally cannot wait hear my adorable apprentice's performance.

Barbatos: Ahem. I'd rather not comment on it.

Simeon: Same.

Diavolo: Same.

Levi: Sigh. We really are just a helpless lot at the mercy of MC.

THE PRISMATIC RAY. if this uploads incorrectly its not my fault jdownloader is hogging my bandwidth again

[lmaonade]

my internet totally shits the bed when steam is downloading a game and i dont get it. the download speeds aren't like insanely high or anything i dont understand why it would be hogging bandwidth like that

[stsumugi11037]

Downloading FFVII rebirth on my shitty home wifi (24 hours in and we are at… 60%) and it’s hogging the bandwidth so much I’m waiting for pictures of zakkura to load line by line like its 1997

[tetranymous]

Hey windows users that are tired of onedrive syncs hogging all the network bandwidth and never completing uploads because it uploads too many files at once

Win + r

Type into the run box

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings

Double click into your onedrive folder. It'll be called either Business or Personal depending on the tier of onedrive you have.

If there are multiple you'll have to repeat step 4 onwards for each of them individually.

Find the file called ClientPolicy.ini and right click and select edit. This will open a text file.

Find the option called NumberOfConcurrentStorageRequests. If you've opened this in something that isn't notepad it'll be on line 54. By default this will be set to 6.

Change the 6 to whatever number of files you want to be uploaded at once. Note that it begins at 0, so setting it to 1 will limit it to 2 files at once. Remember to Ctrl + s to save the changes!

Right click the onedrive icon on the taskbar and select quit onedrive, then search for onedrive in the start menu. Alternatively you could just reboot your computer. Either option will restart onedrive and cause it to read the config file again to apply the changes.

Now you can upload huge files without having to leave your computer on for 3 days straight B)

If the network is still being taken out, go into onedrive settings, sync and backup, advanced settings and turn the limit upload rate option to on.

[crashes through your window] shit. um. sorry anyway could I get 4, 6, 12, and 40 for the ask game?

SCREAMS. HI MULLIN. I'LL GET THE BROOM (Link to the ask game in question) 4. Where do you find your inspiration for new ideas? Primarily from saying shit to people and seeing what sticks. Yesterday I brought up handcuffs for all of two seconds, it got out of hand, and now I've got 1.2k down for that fic already. Otherwise. Mostly when I'm bored in class and wanna make use of my nice pens! 6. Do you have your work beta'd? How important is this to your process? Most of the time, yeah! Leaf reads my stuff, it's awesome. Sometimes I'll be real fuckin' late on a post and just put the thing up without waiting for somebody to read it, but that's fine, because typos are between me and god by that point. 12. How does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you? Not getting any doesn't bother me. Like, yeah, it would be nice to get a comment or two, but also, I write my stuff because the demon in my brain that keeps hogging all the bandwidth tells me to write, and it makes me feel better. Receiving feedback? Depending on the volume of it, it either makes me want to write more or scares the FUCK outta me. Either way I love it! Hearing my shit is good makes me want to write more good shit! 40. If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see? OH GOD. UH. Oh wait actually I just went scrolling through my AO3 and I totally know the answer to me. The frankenfic! Always the frankenfic! The actual title is Til Death Do Us Part: Jack Townsend's Guide on How Not to Deal with the Loss of your Girlfriend (by MCR, jesus fuck), but more specifically, I'm a big fan of the scene where Jack and soon-to-be FrankenSpencer are up in the lab, laying across from one another on the lab tables, with Spencer looking almost alive and Jack looking like a corpse in his own right. I don't know what kind of crack I was on when I wrote that fic (read: isolation and a lot of instant rice) but shit came out GOOD

I had some technical difficulties with my stream on Tuesday. My upload speeds were abysmal, so I kept getting kicked from the server. That said, I made decent progress on the back half of the Enterprise. I still need to fully outline each deck, but I've got the ship's profile roughed out. I'm proud of how it's coming along! Fingers crossed that Friday's stream goes a little smoother. Hopefully nobody else on my apartment's network will hog all the bandwidth. Haven't really had this problem before, but we'll see how it goes.

Operation Bridgehead

I’ve been asked what I can recall about Operation Bridgehead. I think it must have been 2006, and at that time there were still active text forums as well as the growing community who met in Second Life. SL was a real bandwidth hog at the time, and few girls had systems that could run it at a tolerable frame rate, so much of the conversation was still in text.

There was already an Embassy established in SL when the Operation Bridgehead announcement appeared on the forum. It may have been the Blue Camellia Club, but my memory is a sieve, and I could be wrong. I remember that the accompanying graphic was a screenshot from SL of a military brunette avatar silhouetted in front of the flag of the Empire. The gist of it was that Operation Bridgehead was a formal declaration that the community of Aristasians who existed in Elektraspace were a protectorate of the Empress.

I know I am making a hash of this. I can’t recall the language, or even how the scope of it was defined. As far as I can tell, the Embassy in SL was considered the center of operations, but all girls who identified as Aristasians-in-Telluria and had some means of connecting with us should be considered under this protection, SL account or no. I wish there were someone I could ask to correct me if I have this wrong. There seemed to always be a philosophy that what truly made an Aristasian was her sincere desire to be one, and little else mattered. That inclusivity is why I spent so much time with them. And it’s a bit ironic, now that I think of it. They always seemed to pride themselves on their elitism, but when it came to interacting with any person who identified as a girl, and wanted to visit and learn what it was all about, there could never have been warmer, more pleasant hostesses.

I say “they,” and I should clarify. It was often noted that Aristasia-in-Telluria consisted of concentric rings, and most girls never made it very far into the center, which was perfectly ok. The great majority of girls, myself included, had no wish to live full time Aristasian lives. I felt that I was a part of the outermost ring. So collective pronouns may vary.

I think it can’t have been very long after this announcement that there was strife of some kind. I know that there were disagreements among core members of the group, but as you can imagine, they were very private about conflict, and I do not know specifics. I think my memories of that time are happier without that knowledge. I do know that a few individuals seemed not to be around anymore, even as the population of new girls seemed to be burgeoning.

The school established for newcomers may have been called Sai Thame. Again, atrocious memory, but given that Janya’s purview it tracks. It didn’t exist for very long I’m sad to say, but the time I got to spend there was pure fun and pleasure for me. I loved feeling so safe from the disturbing content you sometimes run across in virtual worlds. The wooden desks lined up in the classroom felt strangely comforting. I got giddy little flushes of gender euphoria from standing to let a blonde sit. The tea garden was full of the sort of flowers you’d find in an English cottage garden, and there were always butterflies, and it was all the wonderful parts of Virtualia without the ugly parts. I’m forever grateful for that.

The fact that there was a fucking presidential debate and I cucked my dad out of watching it because I was hogging the bandwidth to download dawntrail like EYYY VIVA LA MEXICOOOOOOO

[binch-i-might-be]

trying to mentally compel my brother to finally leave the premises so that his online gaming stops hogging all the bandwidth and I will be permitted to stream shows in 720p without it pausing to buffer every ten seconds

[moonlitdemons]

mannn i wish i could use my own fucking internet that i pay for but my room mate with an ethernet is constantly hogging the bandwidth so i have to use my phone data 24/7

[naritaren]

Oh I forgot another good thing! Ed fixed my computer!

The other day I noticed that my computer had switched to WiFi only and not the Ethernet connection. I tried to fix it yesterday and ended up buying a new cable.

We got it hooked up and then realized the computer couldn't find my network adapter. So today, Ed drove all around the cities to find me one. He also set it up for me.

He really loves me (or was sick of being told to stop hogging the bandwidth while I was at work to watch Dota)

[libertineangel]

Love how last night I went into Task Scheduler and explicitly told Windows Defender not to scan if the PC's in use and it's just completely ignoring that

Like great thanks I didn't wanna load anything else with that solid 50% of my disk bandwidth you're hogging there
