Echoes of Home: 47 - Steve ("copper")

Echoes of Home: FFXIV AU OC – WoLs on Earth

Tsu'na came back from last night's mapping happier than I'd seen her since coming here.  I guess we were hurting more than I thought from poor communication.  After all, we're married, we're life partners, we really need to be able to work together on understanding the world.

I'm sure it doesn't help that I don't know what I'm doing.  I haven't been in the doing-the-impossible business very long.  I don't know what qualifies as "best practices."  I want to be scientific about it, controlled experiments, blah blah, but this isn't exactly a lab, and my wife certainly isn't a lab rat.

Maybe I should be looking at history.  Babbage and Curie worked out of their homes...how did they balance and manage things?  Of course, they probably weren't worrying about blinded experiments.

Still, communication is key.  Kind of ironic that people have gone from weirded out about Tsu'na to concerned and sort of protective about her, which means a town of a hundred or so people communicate about us faster than we can communicate with each other.  Guys at the Pit last night were asking if she was coming in, if she was okay, if there was anything they could do and so on.  Not what I expected from plaid-wearing career beer drinkers.

Sam found us a wiring guy.  We met at the shed this morning.  His name was Trevor.  "So, the shed's got a line running to it from the bar, but that's just for lights an' stuff, and it looks like it was a crap job, so I can run a new one.  What-all you looking to have in there?"

"Ceiling floods, power tools, window AC, space heater, maybe a mini-fridge. Thinking we'll build a worktable and island with power strips, plus wall outlets.  Possibly a ceiling fan."

Sam smirked at me. "Thinkin' 'bout movin' in?"

"Might as well cover everything.  So, new breaker box?"

"Whaddaya mean new?  Sam's still got fuses.  Yeah, breakers.  Power strips are up to you.  I can do wall outlets and a floor outlet.  Just gotta mark out where."

"Sounds good.  How much?"

"Couple hundred for materials, day's work if I push it...call it eight hundred."

I saw Sam grimace and give me a small headshake.  Little did he know.

"Think I can handle that.  Will you take copper?"

"What, you mean like pennies?"

"No, copper."  I pulled a copper ingot out of inventory and offered it to Trevor.

He took the ingot, examined both sides, and looked up at me.  "The hell am I supposed to do with this?"

"Sell it for scrap?  I hear it goes for three dollars a pound."

"And you've got three hundred pounds of copper lying around?"

Quick adder.  Cool.  "Yeah, my wife's into metalworking.  We used to make jewelry for the renfest crowd. But there just isn't a market for it anywhere around here, so we've got metal we're not using."

"So why don't you sell it?"

"Eh, the wife's in denial about it.  If I sell it, she'll get mad because I don't believe in her.  But if I give it to you and get a workshop out of it, I'm supporting her.  Women, you know?"

Trevor stared at me.  Sam did too, with his patent-pending "that's weird" look, which I pretended not to notice.  Finally, Trevor said, "Four hundred."

"Dude.  That's four hundred over your quote."

"Yeah, well, my quote didn't include haulin' a bunch of metal.  You want me to take this shit, you're gonna make it worth my while."

"...Three fifty?"

"Four."

I tried to look resigned, but it was going much easier than I'd feared.  "Yeah, okay...that just about cleans us out."

"And I'll need a hundred up front."  When I looked at him, he said, "Gotta buy materials.  And see if you're full of crap about the value."

"Yeah, sure, okay.  Wait here."

I went into the shed, leaving Sam and Trevor to gossip about me.  I'd made a couple dozen steel ammo boxes (since they stack), so I brought out four and dumped twenty five ingots into each.  I carried two boxes out and set them in front of Trevor.  "Got two more.  And I'll need the boxes back."

"You shittin' me?"

"Those are twenty dollar ammo boxes."

He looked down at the boxes.  I could hear the beads clicking on his inner abacus.  "Three fifty and I keep the boxes."

I gave a beaten-down sigh.  "Fine."  I fetched the other two from the shed and we loaded them all into Trevor's truck.

As we watched Trevor drive off, Sam asked, "So where'd ya get the copper?"

"Would you believe we mined it?"

"That what ya want me to believe?"

Probably not.  "Okay.  You know we go camping, right?"

"Yeah…?"

"Well, one time we find a house out in the woods. Door's busted, windows broken, looks like it's been empty for years.  We spent the night in it, then next day we stripped out all the copper."

"That's pipes 'n wires 'n shit.  Where'd those bars come from?"

"We melted down the copper we found."

"How?"

"Build a fire under a porcelain sink.  Make molds out of mud."

"An' where's this house?"

"Sure couldn't tell you.  I mean, show me a map, maybe I could narrow it down to twenty miles…"

"How'd ya get the copper back here?"

"Well, you know, we're pretty strong…"

"Four hundred pounds?  Twenty miles?"

Shove it in inventory and Return.  Piece of cake.  "We found a trailer behind the house. We might've borrowed it."

"Where's that trailer now?"

"Ditched it in the woods."

Sam sighed and squinted off into the distance.  "Make it fifty miles.  Can't narrow it down to a county that way."

I nodded slowly.  "Okay.  Thanks."

"An' ferchrissake keep it simple.  More dee-tails, more you can get wrong."

"...Yeah."

"Miz Tsu'na comin' in tonight?"

"Yeah, it's her shift."

"'Kay.  You take care o' her, y'hear?"

"Always."

Sam nodded and went into the bar.  Something had changed, and I'm not sure what or when.

But I think we're gonna be okay.

Febuwhump Day 5 - Rope Burns

Fandom: Avatar/Mirror's Edge crossover AU

Characters: Sokka, Bato

Rope Burns

It was supposed to be a milk run: go to the office building in Re-Zoning A, grab the dead drop package, deliver it to the client.

“Do not run! Repeat: do not run!”

Sokka vaulted over a stack of boards and zigzagged away as the blues chasing him opened fire.

“Sokka, there’s a lift in the apartment building up ahead,” Bato’s voice came through his beatLink. “Use it to get to the rooftops.”

“On it!”

Sokka scrambled behind a shipping container and sprinted towards the tarp-covered scaffolding climbing the apartments. He threw himself into the service lift, pounding the button as the blues rounded the container. He ducked a few sandbag pellets before the lift took him out of range.

“They called for backup. OSec’s got a bird en route.”

“What, am I carrying a city-destroying bomb?” Sokka asked with an annoyed sigh, hefting his yellow runner bag.

“Let’s hope not.”

Sokka ran across the rooftops of Glass, a city as striking as it was artificial. In the midst of a massive reconstruction project after the November Riots two years ago, Sokka found his edge. He was a Runner, and a damn good one. Ahead, an OSec VTOL flew into sight, painting him with its targeting laser. Sokka’s beatLink piggybacked the VTOL’s radio channel.

“Control, this is Icarus 1 with eyes on the target.” 

“Icarus 1, you are clear to engage.”

The VTOL came to hover over a rooftop in Sokka’s path. Kevlar lines snaked down, followed by enforcers. Sokka dodged between them, sliding behind a large HVAC unit before they could level their air guns at him. Plastic bullets weren’t lethal, usually, but they were incapacitating—and worse, career-ending.

“Bato, I need an out,” Sokka said, hopping across an alley and slamming into an emergency exit door.

“We gotta get you off that block,” Bato said. “There’s a cable across Babbage Boulevard.”

Sokka groaned, but cut left as he made his way towards the cable. He inspected it briefly when he reached it: a high-tension line attached to a data mast that crossed an eight lane road separating the Re-Zoning Districts from Downtown. OSec would be hard-pressed to follow him.

He glanced down at his bare hands.

“Of all the days to not wear gloves,” he said.

Bullets ricocheted off the mast. Without thinking, he flung himself into space. For a moment, he was falling. Then he caught the cable, and gravity pulled him the rest of the way. His hands burned. He could feel his skin being ripped off by the steel cable. Clenching his teeth, he endured the agony to the end, dropping onto a ledge and into cover before checking the damage.

“Fucking ow!”

His hands were a bloody mess. He’d need to stop at a safehouse to bandage up before completing the run.

“Hey, you escaped,” Bato said. “Take this as a lesson not to forget your gloves next time.”

“Yeah, I got it,” Sokka hissed, flexing his fingers. 

Pain was a useful teacher, sometimes.

Every instance of the “loads of hitpoints” joke up until episode 188, so be warned, there are spoilers. Some fun stats I thought were interesting:

We associate this Joke with Zolf, but it actually started with Grizzop (the first three are him)

The largest concentration for a single episode was in 139 (five), with the total for the time spent underneath the institute going up to twelve

In second place is episode 187 (three), with the total for the Garden of Yerlick as a whole being nine

The joke has been made by people other than Ben a total of sixteen times

Compared to twenty nine from Ben himself

This compilation is going to be out of date soon because they won’t stop making the joke (and we wouldn’t want it any other way)

Thinking about how Zolf letting go of his glaive feels like an act of faith, in the same way that throwing away his trident felt like a rejection of it. Tossing the glaive away now feels like hope for the future, or acceptance of whatever comes next.

This is quite literally the last stand. He’s holding the most precious thing in the world in his arms, and to do that he has to let go of his weapon and trust that he and his friends will be enough on their own. And once this is over, he will no longer have to be the warrior, the protector, the person who sets his glaive alight and grits his teeth and plants his feet against the entire world.

Zolf lets the glaive go, because if this plan works, he won’t need it anymore.

He lets the glaive go, because if the plan fails? He won’t need it anymore.

When Zolf lets go of his glaive, he finally releases the weight he’s been carrying. The glaive slides from his fingers, and with it goes the staggering responsibility. All he has to do now is hold on to the Babbage array and hope. This is it. This is all there is. He lets the glaive fall, but he’s holding tight to what comes next.

No matter how it ends, Zolf won’t have to fight anymore. He can finally let go.

Primary Role: Looper, DPS Secondary Role: Crit Support, Support Situational Role:

Voyager is a cute little satellite, and probably has an orbital cannon to take out creepy shotacons. Now that we've settled that, let's talk about Voyager for a moment. Voyager is our first Quick Foreigner, a class that honestly is rather unappreciated, and he comes out...not exactly swinging at first glance. He has a high HP, low ATK spread, which while isn't always bad, is usually not a strong point, and while his Arts card do okay in terms of NP generation, his Quicks and Extra are pretty terrible.

However, that doesn't really matter! Voyager's 1st skill is like Pioneer of the Stars, except it trades the 3 turns of Pierce Invul for 3 turns of Debuff immunity. Whether that trade is worth it probably is a YMMV moment, but I definitely quite enjoy that. Voyager of the Stars, as one might expect, is a fantastic skill, especially on an AoE Servant. It dramatically opens up CE choices and makes Voyager one of the lucky few who does not need to rely on K-Scope to loop. Which we'll get to, but keep that in mind for right now.

Voyager's second skill is both a survival skill and a rather good steroid. This ins't quite a Mana Burset since it is half buff and half debuff, but that also means that unless whatever you're fighting has both buff block and debuff immunity (DEMETERRRRRRRRRR), you'll always get some value offensively out of this skill. It's also Voyager's survival option, but thanks to the 3 turn duration on this skills damage buff and debuff, Voyager in a similar manner to Babbage can use this skill to defend himself and not lose damage.

Voyager's 3rd skill is similar to Lalters, except...stranger. It's a targetable, but somewhat weak, 1 turn star absorb, plus an AoE crit damage boost and crit chance defense boost. If you're wondering what that is, it's basically a buff form of critical chance down. This skill is fine and honestly not too bad, but its definitely the weakest of Voyager's skills. The crit buff is only 30% and the crit chance buff is only 20%, which hampers the usability. Voyager can easily enable crits, so its not too much of a problem to do extra damage, but its not the important part of Voyager's kit.

His NP is where things get, in a word: silly. An NP damage buff, increased damage against Sky enemies, and a guaranteed 20% NP gauge charge are all fantastic, but Voyager will even give an extra 10% towards specific Servants that I have listed above. The 20% NP gauge charge is the best bit though, and that's because Voyager is an AoE Quick NP user. His 20% NP charge lowers the amount of refund he needs to make from 50% to 30%, which makes Voyager much more consistent of a looper. However, he's not perfect in this regard as his NP gain is still pretty low, and most importantly, even with Skadi buffs his damage is super low for a 3-turn looper, meaning he'll either need to fight Sky enemies, use CEs other than K-Scope such as Golden Sumo, or be NP2+ in other to farm efficiently. His NP gain on his NP without his charge is roughly the same as Achilles, to put it in perspective.

On the other hand, you don't have to use Voyager as a looper, and this means that he's a pretty solid anti-Sky unit. His NQQ chain will generate quite a bit of stars and even an okay amount of NP. His big niche here is his NP charges on his NP, his good consistency, and counter-classing Berserkers. Maou Nobu is arguably better overall as she does way more damage, but Voyager still is pretty distinct.

Support: Skadi is the obvious choice, but Voyager also works really well with Sima Yi, Mash, and Waver due to being able to accelerate their NPs. Great Statue God can also work here as well. Voyager really likes supports who will increase his damage due to his damage being on the lower side, and not needing a ton in terms of consistency. 

CEs: Thanks to his 50% NP battery, a wide variety of CEs will work on Voyager. Quick up, critical damage up, Golden Sumo, NP damage up, you name it. He’ll even work well with his own Bond CE. The Berserker effective damage CE is also quite notable here, providing a strong stacking boost that will make Voyager do a ton of damage to Berserkers. 

Pros: -Fantastic NP consistency thanks to decent refund, amazing NP battery, strong steroid, and good crit star generation. -Provides good support for the party through his NP and 3rd skill. -3 turns of debuff immunity on a 6 turn cooldown -Anti-Sky niche making Voyager amazing against a fair number of Berserkers

Cons: -Very low NP damage if not fighting Sky enemies or Berserkers -Not completely consistent in DSS due to low damage and lower end NP generation -Quick cards have pretty poor performance overall

Voyager doesn't come out as one of the best Foreigners in the game. He's more niche, but probably the best overall for farming should you hit his sweet spots in that regard, and an amazingly consistent Servant. He can definitely perform well, despite his flaws.

Also, cute satellite.

Magical Machines In RoL: A short Round-Up

Shortening because this is long.

There’s a surprising number of  magical or mysterious devices we keep encountering:

The Pin in one of the Cat-Girls temple in Moon Over Soho

The Cunning Device in A Rare Book of Cunning Device

Lesley’s Phone-Bomb in The Hanging Tree

“Mary Engine”, (Might be related to Ada Lovelace’s design, as per Peter’s observations, might be some type of early calculator?)

“Some Type of Device” Babbage (Who worked with Lovelace) was working on for the Folly, according to Nightingale

And then there’s Lady Helena’s insistence that her tradition’s Magic Salons go back to Caroline from Ansbach, who, Peter notes, also hung about with one Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz (Who was – hopefully – not a machine, though he did write like he was running out of time and was generally low-key bonkers)

First three are kind of ??? so let’s look at the last three (+) instead

Why the fuck is Leibniz relevant for us?

Now, I’m not one for Great-Man-Histroy, but even I have to admit that Leibniz was, again, kind of off-the-Weird-Genius-charts. If you, say, want a literary or historical counterweight to Isaac Newton in Allsasser-Excentric-Genuis-Bullshit, he’s the man. Literally. Anygays. There are five(ish) things that connect Leibniz to the rest of the RoL Universe;

He’s connected with Caroline from Ansbach, as stated above

He dabbled in alchemy (well, he dabbled in everything)

He got into an academic bitch fight with Isaac Newton (Because either on of them plagiarized the other or they just invented the same Important Math Thing at roughtly the same time – we will never know ~~~)

He either  invented the binary code*  (aka thing that makes Computers go be-bop) or greatly improved it/anticipated a bunch of logic-probelms with it, depending on who you ask

He revolutionized early calculators by inventing the Leibniz Wheel (aka, the things that made Calculators go shrrrrrrrrrr for 200 years before things got funky and analytical)

(All of this is somewhere between the late 1660s – 1716s) (* same problem of the )

Early Calculators and Leibniz Wheels

(Aka a long and rambly part that you can skip if you don’t want to learn about Fancy Early Tech)

Early Calculators where mostly stuff like fancy modefied Abaci, but in the 1640s this french dude Pascal build an Arithmetic Machine, which used interlockign wheels to do what it says on the tin crunch numbers. This machine was both very cool and very suck-tastic; it could do math for you (yay); But it was also super expensive, hard to transport, harder to build, even harder to opperate and therefore prone to human error (boo). It was also limited to addition an subtraction. It didn’t really catch on.

Along comes Leibniz and designes the Leibniz Wheel (which, unlike the A.M.’s wheels, which needed 10 rotations per single digit, only needed a single rotation for any operation involving a single-digit number and could, in conjunction with other Leibniz wheels, carry over into higher digits more easily. He used it to build the first really usable Calculator(s). This Stepped Reckoner (which is what you get when you badly translate Stufenrechner) was easier to operate and it could perform all four basic operations. You could actually use it. Or, as this book puts it:

“The demand for Leibniz’s machines was largely for it’s help in calculating tables of common mathematical functions. In the seventeenth century producing one of these tables might have been a lifes’s work.”

Just, in case you wanted to know how rad people thought this was.

Here’s a link to a video of an animated Leibniz Wheel in use.

Babbage’s Difference Engine and Analytical Engine

Babbage’s Difference Engine (1820s/30s) and Analytical Engine (1830s), genreally considered the ‘first computer’ if they’d actually build it, was basically the attempt to stack as many Leibniz Wheel-ish Wheels (they used a variation, btu it‘s afaik the same concept) as possible on top of each other and operate them all simultaneously by using the technology of Joseph Marie Jacquard’s “programmable” Loom (invented around 1800, uses Punchcards to weave different & complex patterns) to brute-force complex mathematical problems.

The Difference Engine was supposed to use this system to calculate and print mathematical tables. It was supposed to be able to calculate polynoms and use sinus and cosinus and such (!!! I know that sounds easy when we all have a graphical calculator lying around at home like a useless math brick, but this is so cool!)

The Analytical Engine was a step up from this, as it should have functioned without human intervention and was upposed to be fully programmable. It even had something like 10 kB memory space. It was a computer, is what it is.

Now, Ada Lovelace took one long look at that and went “well, clearly this isn’t cool enough yet” because she was born a Byron and Just That Extra. She was also apparently called the Enchantress of Numbers by Babbage ... just ... like ... maybe ... okay.

Anyways, Ada, while trying to explain what the fuck this thing was supposed to do to the general science public, casually invented the analytical computer program. As you do. As you fucking do.

(Still using this book as well as this book btw) 

To make this clear: Babbage is that one kid who’s always finished first in Math Class because he actually knows how to make tht Unloved Math Brick Of Ugh do what he wants; Ada is that kid who wrote her own game for her Math Brick, hasn’t payed attention since Grade 6 and is currently reading a college-level informatic book under the table. In the first row, Isaac and Gottfried are throwing chalk at each other. Well, you get what I mean.

The Mary Engine

The Mary Engine is produced in the 1840s and is small enough to fit into the store room’s shelves. It’s not a Differentiation or an Analytical Engine, and probably also not a Stepped Reckoner.

But. This thing is actually incredible. The Mary Engine is TINY.

Babbage never finished either Engine. They only build on around 1900 iirr. Second off, the Engines where fuck off huge. Things the size of the Mary Engine really only came around in the early 1900 or so. ‘Enigmas’ (aka Rotor-Crypto-Machines, which are way less complex then actual calculators), while ‘invented’ shortly after WWI all over the world, only became small enough to be moved comfortably on-person during WWII. How the fuck did they get the Mary Engine that small in the 1840s?

If there’s anything I’m missing (or that I’ve gotten horribly wrong, because I’m a computer noob in the end) hit me up so that I can amend this thing. I don’t really have a Grand Fandom Theory or anything. This is just a list (+ minor explanations) of Cool Stuff. A lot of people probably already know this stuff, but I had fun writing this and it might bring people who weren’t raised in Leibniz-Central up to speed somewhat.

Now, another thing, because someone pointed it out a while ago (and I can’t! Believe! I didn’t make that connection!); Linden-Limmer. I really should have seen that one: I fucking live here. So: Hannover, Germany is kind of a bonkers town.

Turning out to be progressively accessible or Real-time is the key I. e. Sound Input to Search is a favored mode

These days, individuals favor sound quest as opposed to composing watchwords for search due to its benefit factor, particularly when somebody is driving or is occupied with performing multiple tasks. Practically all cell phones have a voice search work. With a sound hunt having so a lot of engaging force, the vast majority of the product organizations, these days, center around the sound inquiry interface.

Bruce Sterling's been playing with a stack of hand-punched cardboard cards created in 1840 by Charles Babbage as a kind of vaporware app for his never-built Analytical Engine; they were intended to placed in a revolving "six-sided prism."

Sterling analyzes and gives some context and conjecture to the deck, and offers an accompanying Flickr set of photos showing the cards and Babbage's hand-written annotations.

Women in Computing

Good morning, everybody! This morning I was feeling a little down regarding my choice of career: Computer Science. It has always been seen as a man’s line of work, more than a woman’s, and even today women are disregarded in this field. I have even been prejudiced by classmates as the one who doesn’t do her work and lets her partner do it all.

See, I have done approximately a 75% of all the overall work of all the projects (counting individual AND in pairs). I have even done a project that was not mine, to begin with. So, I started to think this morning and I came to realize, this is a woman’s profession more than it is a man’s. Men have taken all the glory in what women have accomplished. I am vastly aware that this is not the only field, of course. But it is the one that bothers me personally most.

I wrote a Twitter thread this morning about the most known women in Computer Science, even if most people don’t even know of their existence. Still, at least one of them rings a bell. As I feel the need to share this with the world, I will be adding it all here. They are not in any particular order, anyway, enjoy.

1. Ada Lovelace

The one and only, Ada. She was the first person to believe computers wouldn’t just compute, but could also have other applications. She created the first computer algorithm despite not being able to try it since the Babbage Engine was not finished. Despite that, she is the world’s most known woman in this field.

Edit: She is also considered the first person to come up with the idea of a loop. Thank you, @a-25!

2. Grace Hopper

An American navy admiral who was also the inventor of the first compiler, and she also executed the first debug. She has had broad recognition, for example, she is one of the first 10 people to be “senior programmers”, and she is the first woman of any nationality and first American to be made a Distinguished Fellow of the British Computer Society.

3. Hedy Lamarr

Oh, you’re going to love her. She is the one who you have to thank for if you use WiFi or GPS. She was a genius and an actress, she was also the first female orgasm on cinematography history.

She was married to a German Nazi and learned about all that they had to say. Further on, she had an American lover who loved to play the xylophone and, as she switched sides, she used the xylophone as inspiration to jump from frequency to frequency within the radio so the Nazis couldn’t catch her as she gave information to the enemy.

4. Margaret Hamilton

You might have seen her standing next to a huge amount of stacked papers, the ones that have the code written by her (and her team) to take Apollo 11 to the moon. Apollo 11 had a critical point in its mission, where the guidance computer started turning in errors and had to postpone some tasks that could not be attended in real time. Margaret, with the help of her team, created the asynchronous flight software. She was also CEO of her co-founded business HOS (High Order Software).

She is still alive to this day and she is also still being recognized, the last thing on her Wikipedia dates to this past April.

5. Joan Clarke

Have you ever heard of Alan Turing? She is the only woman who worked in his team at Bletchley Park. She reached deputy head at some point, but because of her gender, she wouldn’t reach any higher and would be paid less than her other mates. Side note: Alan Turing proposed to her although he had admitted his homosexuality to her. Long after he died, she worked for GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters).

If you’d like to learn about more women in computing, you can see a timeline on this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_computing.

I would like anyone who reads this to please stop stereotyping this field as a man’s line of work. Women like the ones above need to be given the chance to shine in Computer Science.

IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT ALAN TURING, STEVE JOBS, AND MARK ZUCKERBERG.

SAIL 2017 - Day 3 McDougall + McConaghy - Moth Worlds 2017 - Malcesine, Lake Garda - ITALY

28 luglio 2017 -  The early morning Peler from the North provided contrasting fortunes for the fleet of 220 Moths racing day 3 of the McDougall + McConaghy Moth Worlds 2017 hosted by Fraglia Vela Malcesine. After a lunchtime break to repair boats and refuel with more pasta, all fleets were sent back out for a much more sedate afternoon of racing, but again the Garda wind gods had other ideas. By 1600hrs the weak afternoon breeze shut down for the day determining the all important Gold, Silver and Bronze fleets for the Final series. The Green and Blue fleets were sent out early for a 0830 hrs start but a number of competitors stayed ashore to make a late judgement as to whether to sit out the first race of the day. The Blue fleet was sailing the Southernmost course off the picturesque medieval city of Malcesine. However, just the downwind dash to the race course proved too much for many. The Peler was honking a good 20 - 25 knots with some steep waves. After about an hour the PRO got racing started but only about 16 boats got off on time. Some others joined shortly after to complete one lap and get a score on the board. For the second race of the day, race 4 of the event, the breeze did soften into the teens but the conditions were still gnarly and difficult for the club level sailors. Paul Goodison (GBR) took up from where he left off yesterday adding another two wins to keep a perfect scoreline. He was pushed hard but never really threatened by another Olympic medallist from GBR, Simon Hiscocks, who finished with two excellent seconds. Tom Offer from Rock Sailing Club in the UK was also rewarded for his persistence adding a 3,4 to his score. There were good performances for some of the master category sailors, Americas Cup team coach, Philippe Presti (FRA) finished the tough first race and took 5th in the second. Another Americas Cup sailor, Francesco Bruni (ITA) got round the course finishing 5th in the first race. The Green fleet set up at the Northern course which is where the lake is at its narrowest with the mountains either side. The breeze was similar here with 20 - 25 knots and with nasty steep waves. A number of mothies reported boat speeds in the early thirties (knots), recorded on their instruments. This group was randomly loaded with rock stars and proved to be the most dramatic of the day. Double world Moth champion and hot favourite, Nathan Outteridge (AUS) blitzed the first race but agonisingly suffered another major rig failure as his mast broke going at full speed. “It was pretty fresh out there this morning, we were getting mid 20’s and bigger gusts. At the top of our course, it was quite flat but lumpy at the bottom.” “I managed to win the first race but then in the second race I had a pitch pole in the middle of the bottom gate when I was in 2nd or 3rd, and snapped my mast, so that is two DNF’s in two days from two different things, so I am just running over the boat pretty closely now.” Another top contender and long term Moth worlds podium finisher, Scott Babbage (AUS) also suffered further breakages with a vang failure. Even the unflappable current king of sailing, Pete Burling (NZL) suffered a number of stacks as he appeared to be suffering from control issues downwind. Pete finished 8 and 11 for the day. Ben Paton (GBR) usually revels in the strong winds but having crossed the finish line in 3rd in the first race, he was leading race 2 when one of his ample biceps (arm muscles) caused him pain, forcing him to retire. The standout sailor from the Yellow group was another 49er Gold medallist and AC sailor, Iain ‘Goobs’ Jensen who found form and speed in abundance to card 2,1 from the morning session. “I was just getting around cleanly, the boat was working really nicely, it was definitely a survival day, there were big waves and gusts of up to 26 knots, so it was basically whoever didn’t swim was going to be in the top few.” “A few guys had new foils on and we're still just getting used to them, but I had the standard Exocet small foils on and they were going well. It was really good fun, awesome sailing, some guys who had the Velocitek’s on were recording top speeds of 32 knots.” Also enjoying the heavy stuff was Arnaud Psarofaghis (SUI) scoring 6,2. Emma Spiers from Australia did well to finish both races upright with a respectable 19,23 and one of the lightest and smallest mothies, Josie Gliddon (GBR) finished 22,22 with her cut down rig proving a valuable asset. Around 25 boats finished both Green fleet races. The Yellow and Red fleets left the shore around 1100hrs, by which time the breeze was beginning to drop down to a more manageable 12 - 15 knots, fading to 10 or less for their second race of the day. The waves had also dropped resulting in much less boat damage and capsizes. There were 44 finishers in the first race and 50 finishers in the second for the Red fleet on the Northernmost course. The race track looked a bit more one sided with the fleets sailing straight off the start line to hit the steep Western shoreline of the Lake before mixing it up with the local ferries scuttling up the coast, totally mind boggled by what was happening around them! At the front end former Moth world champion, Josh McKnight (AUS), sailing his own Moth design, shared top spot with Rob Greenhalgh (GBR) finishing with a 1,2 for the day. Franco Greggi who is one of 5 boats from Buenos Aires in Argentina, was one of the outstanding performances of the day in the Red fleet, mixing it up with the leaders with a 3,5. “It was a very difficult morning because you have to choose your mast and foils carefully, I chose the smallest foil I had and I am happy I did. My main idea was to start well where there were no boats and try to use my speed in order to get to the front. There are a lot of top sailors with a lot of speed so It was really good to be with the leaders. I am very happy I am in the top 30.” Another of the Corinthian sailors, Dave Hivey (GBR) continued his good form with a 7,3 to keep in the top group overall. The Yellow fleet was the last to start their races, sailing on the Southern course off Malcesine. By the time they started the Peler was all but gone and they raced in a much more sedate 10 - 15 knots with flatter water. Tom Slingsby (AUS) fired another bullet and a 7th to stay in the lead bunch overall. Fellow Australian Laser Gold medallist, Tom Burton finished 4,2 and a third Aussie, Harold Mighell from Sydney, finished 2nd, but with a bad second race finish of 26th. Corinthian, Rory Fitzpatrick, one of a flutter of mothies from Ireland finished with an excellent 7 and 1 in the morning session. The Yellow fleet was the first to be sent out for the afternoon session in a light 10 - 12 knots from the South and flat water however after a long wait the weather gods again foiled the race committee and racing had to be curtailed for the day. With 4 qualification races completed per group, sailors can discard their worst score. So the points table at the end of qualifying shows Paul Goodison (GBR) with a string of bullets followed closely by Tom Slingsby (AUS), with three wins and a discarded 7. Rob Greenhalgh (GBR) sits in 3rd, Iain Jensen (AUS) 4th and Josh Mcknight (AUS) 5th. Pete Burling (NZL) sits in 15th and due to damage Nathan Outteridge (AUS) is down in 35th. For the same reason, Scott Babbage (AUS) sits in 41. Some regular club mothies stack up in the top 20 which is a credit to them in such a high-class field as this. Annalise Murphy (IRL) is the top female competitor, easily qualifying in the Gold group. There is a cluster of women who will race against each other in the Silver fleet. Emma Spiers (AUS) 102, Wakaka Tabata (JPN) 108, Josie Gliddon (GBR) 113 and Emma Gravar (SWE) 114. Of the Masters, Jason Belben of Stokes Bay sits in an admirable 23rd, one place ahead of long time Moth campaigner Rob Gough from Tasmania, Australia. Phil Stevenson, the grand master of the fleet is comfortably in the Silver fleet in 133 spot. The two Italian Ferrighi brothers lead the Youth category (under 23yrs), Gian Marie qualifies in 18th and Stefano in 44th. The Final Series of racing begins tomorrow (Friday) for Gold, Silver and Bronze fleets with a first start scheduled for 1300hrs.

Honestly, your salt about these makes me feel better. For the first time EVER I'm not immediately psyched about the announcement of two main series games. I was worried it was me, but others who are like "I dunno, why didn't they announce something better" makes me feel better about it. Here's hoping e3 maybe shed some better light on them?

. . . Wow. You just made me realize that there has never been an announcement of main series games that I haven’t been excited for.

Like, just so everyone (newcomers included) is aware, I’ve been a devoted Pokémon fan since 1998. My very first Pokémon game was either Red Version or Blue Version (I got them so close together it’s hard for me to remember which, especially since I played them interchangeably). I remember when Yellow Version was first announced and I was reading spreads about it in Nintendo Power. I remember passing a poster for it in a store and telling my dad about it all excitedly and asking him for it, explaining to him that it was a new game, not like the other two I already had. I remember when Gold Version and Silver Version were announced, and more importantly, I remember going up to Babbages (that was a game store that used to exist) and trading in a stack of Game Boy games so that I could buy Silver Version. I was stoked leading up to Silver Version’s release. I followed every single Nintendo Power spread, I was super invested in the commercials, I was constantly speculating about things with all the other little hellions at my elementary school. Having already completed the Pokédex in the Gen I games and accomplished everything I could there, I was mega, mega hyped for Gen II.

So the point I’m trying to make here is, I have been here since the very beginning of the phenomenon in the United States. I was---have been---super into everything. When I say “Pokémon is not a fandom, it’s a lifestyle choice,” I’m only half-joking, because it’s a significant part of my life. I have written two academic papers on this series (one for my undergraduate degree, and one for my master’s), one of which was nearly twenty pages long. So believe me when I say that I’m not just a naive newcomer, that I know what I’m talking about when I talk about this series. I don’t need basic things about it explained to me. I know good and goddamn well what this series is about, and I have known what it’s about since the very start. 

So with that said? Yeah, I can’t remember feeling so underwhelmed and disappointed at a main game announcement. I was, as explained, super excited about Yellow Version. (Hah, I actually remember sitting at the table during morning Latchkey and talking to other kids about it, and speculating how, since it was based on the anime, obviously Brock and Misty would be following you around too!! That turned out to not be true, of course, but I was super stoked about the possibility, given that I was also a big fan of the anime, and as such the game was directly targeting me.) I was super jazzed about Silver Version, too, and then Crystal Version, particular since you could actually play as a girl in Crystal Version, which was huge to me. I got super excited about Sapphire Version when Gen III was announced, and I vividly remember one of the commercials used to market it (because it was one where they hired a bunch of actors that “resembled” the new pokémon, and I remember being conflicted because I wanted treecko, but I identified more with the girl holding torchic than I did the bald biker dude with treecko). Admittedly, I don’t remember being super excited with Diamond Version and Pearl Version announcements, but I just looked it up and they were announced in the fourth calendar quarter of 2004. Things were really, really bad for me around that time (home life wise), so it’s no wonder I wasn’t excited about them. I don’t even really remember hearing about them.

But then HeartGold and SoulSilver were announced, and oh man. I was SUPER excited, like---I avidly participated in Bulbagarden Forums for it, I followed every single CoroCoro and Pokémon Sunday segment, I was super into that. It was the same deal with Black Version and White Version, and then the sequels, and so on and so forth. I always get so, so excited when new core games are announced. The spinoffs I don’t care about as much; I’d go nuts for a new Ranger game, but short of that or an amazing new rendition of Pokémon Snap I’m not really interested. But the core games? Short of major life crises, I always get excited. This is the first time in memory when I feel completely underwhelmed and disappointed and I just . . . I don’t like it. I don’t like this feeling.

So yeah, I really hope that I’m wrong, that maybe more information comes out and there’s something about these games to excite me. Because right now there isn’t, and short of doing a complete overhaul of the Alola games so that they’re extremely different than what we got the first time around, I don’t see that changing.
