Google's music streaming service is just terrible. Bad interface, full of ads, designed to push album purchases. Really annoying that it's pretty much the only free place left.

Life Lessons: Just because a game supports Mac, doesn't mean it runs well on your old weak general use Mac just because you didn't feel like lugging out your bulky gaming laptop. :sigh: Now I have to wait for the game to download again.

Thick versus soupy. Not really a major difference, hence being a FWP.

I took apart and cleaned my mouse for the first time in about 5 years (don't wait 5 years to clean your mouse). Now it has much more oomph to the clicks, and it's throwing me off a little.

I bought the digital copy of FO4 and despite being 30 gigs, it downloaded in an hour. I booted it up ready to look for my dead gay son and it turns out it only downloaded the SPECIAL videos that play while it downloads 26 more gigs of game. Because it downloads via FO4 and not the PS downloader, i cant play any other games while waiting because FO4 has to run to download the game. :mad:

Are you sure about that? It should be downloading in the background whether the game is on or not, you can see the actual progress if you go to system storage management/applications and get info on FO4.

E: it wouldn't make sense to have it only download through the game because then everyone who preordered would be downloading at the same time, but it was already downloaded when midnight hit so I didn't have to wait at all to play. I didn't get to see the SPECIAL videos because of that :(

Our couch is a shade too small for both me and my girlfriend, length wise, to lay down and use our respective tablets/laptops on at the same time. We rarely watch TV that the couch faces, and for the longest time my tablet was old enough to not be worth using, so it was wordlessly implied that the couch was hers to relax on. But now I do have a decent tablet, and the couch is surprisingly comfy to lay down on and putz with my tablet.

I fear I've reached max FWP with this one.

I would love to have a sectional couch instead of the leather couch and leather love seat that reclines and has footrests.
They are insanely comfortable but a bitch in the summer.

You'd think, seeing how there's good emulators for pretty much every system pre-PS1 and a few after it, that there'd be a good emulator for it, but there isn't.

They probably spent the winter hiding in a warm corner of your apartment, and the oncoming spring is perking them up.

If you were an entrepreneurial sort, you could gather them up and sell them like they do on Amazon. You'd need a lot though.

I just looked those guys up and im pretty sure what I found were ladybugs, since they had the spots and shiny wing case.

And its only been a couple so far so probably not enough to sell. Unless I could pitch them as "experienced survivor bugs"tm.

Carpet beetles can also have the spots and shiny backs too.

I had em, and while they are a little annoying they aren't like OMG MAJOR PEST INFESTATION since they only eat organic material. Bug bomb and vacuum will clear em out.

Mine were a brownish color, but apparently ladybugs can be a brown color too. Life is weird man.

I'm tired of buying cans of compressed air, but I can't find a canless compressor on Amazon that's both relatively cheap and has good reviews. I just want to be able to dust out my PC on the regular without worrying if the two piss-squirts of 'air' left in the can will be enough to do it.

My mom's old house used to get ladybug infestations at weird times of the year, too. We would find dead ones all over the place. :(

I wanted to buy a game on Steam because it was on sale this weekend, but I was really busy and forgot about it. Now I need to wait for the next Steam sale. :sigh:

Also, I spent $15 on a really pretty betta fish today. There were tons of other pretty ones, but not as pretty as this one. I really like him but I'm anxious about when to put him in the tank because I just set it up and it's got live plants and oh god what about the nitrogen levels?? :ohdear:

I bought a GTX980ti graphics card, so decided to replace my dinky little 1920x1080 21inch monitor with some 2560x1600 30inch beast.
Now my computer screen is too big :negative:
I have to physically move my head left/right to see everything on the screen.
There's not enough room on my desk to use both monitors at the same time.
