I WIN. Suzanne - 1, Asian Gobbledegook - 0
So I was watching tv episodes online, and I had to download a viewer/software for it which was on a sharing server in Asia. Since I only used it the once, I didn't want to keep it. It booted up every time I rebooted.
But it was in some Asian language, and everything to do with it, right-click messages or menu items or instructions, were all in this anonymous Asian language. I saw ???????? and assorted European letters I couldn't get without looking them up on the character map.
I tried and tried to find it on my uninstall list thingy from Windows, but it wasn't there. This thingy was impeding on my happiness (aka I had an OCD-ish need to get rid of the thing that wasn't going to be used and that I couldn't understand. Also, I don't want things I don't understand that can be hooked from my computer to many computers).
Finally, I decided to just use the menu bar to choose from the various options given. Did I want "????????????" or "???????????"? How about "?????"? Maybe I could choose "????? ???? ???????." There were a few different options.
I scanned them and chose one.
I got a screen with more ?????s and such. Three buttons with options ?????????, ????? and ??????. I chose one. Something happened. Three more buttons, same options as far as I was concerned. Chose one. Took me to a website.
Eight fucking options. Also a text box. I chose the seventh and put in the text box, "I do not speak your language. I picked the seventh option because seven is a pretty number." I was to choose between two buttons, one likely submit, the other likely reset. I chose one.
*It uninstalled.* It was OFF my computer.
I had been trying to do this for nearly a month.
Heck YEAH. Take that you stupid effing program, for you are no match for a linguist! We don't need to learn your language to master you. We don't even need actual letters. Give us gobbledegook; we'll make sense of it.
*feels superior*
I have won a war, people. A month-long war against an Unknown Asian Entity. Take that, Unknown Asian Entity!
