6 years is pretty ancient for pc standards. How much were SSDs back then, like $700 for 1 TB. 2019 is actually a really good time to build a pc. Prices are really good, especially compared to last year when ram and video cards were going for double msrp. Mu Zeta has a new favorite as of 22:22 on Oct 17, 2019 |

I know my computer's old and all, but my backlog is so deep and wide that it hasn't really bothered me too much, and on the odd occasion a game has come up that I thought might be worth making a partial upgrade for - well, yeah, as you say, RAM and video cards were like insanely expensive (am I wrong about this being a bitcoin thing?) and I was like, nah, I have a million unplayed games already. I'm glad to hear that that trend is (?) broken, now. Control seems super cool and super good but from all reports it's a resource hog under the best circumstances, so I'll avoid spoilers and play PS3 games for the next five or six years.

I've been developing more and more allergies, and cross reactions to already existing allergies over the past couple of years. It sucks, because it seems to be taking out several of my favorite foods. My son went to an apple orchard on a field trip today, and I washed all the apples, then settled in for one after he went to bed. Surprise, OAS. My tongue feels like it's trying to shed an entire layer of skin at once.

I feel like I'm getting more ingrown hairs on my scalp than I used to. I don't know if it's an aging thing (I'm 32), a breakout, or something else. I used to have long hair, but I had it all cut off in 2015 and have had short hair since.

On one hand you're right- I hadn't considered if there was an abled/disabled aspect to it, and on the other- it's not like there aren't simple solutions like say those offered thanks to a proliferation of screen readers out there. If a bus/train is too packed to read, then no one's reading anyways because they're all elbowing and eyeing each other with disgust until it's time to shuffle out when their stop comes.

There's a sale on Warhammer games on Steam. I'm thinking about getting Total War: Warhammer II since the reviews look really good. The problem is that there seems to be over $40 of DLC so it makes me question if the base game is any good or even finished when it only costs $20.

The base game has the other factions as AI, you just cant play as them. Honestly you shouldnt buy the DLC until you've played some of the easier factions anyway, I started out as dwarves and even with two experienced players helping me, its complicated as poo poo

I don't have control of the temperature in my apartment and the management decided to turn the heat up to maximum, so it's 90 degrees in here and I had to turn the window AC on, also to maximum.

Like clockwork (once a month, no more or less), me or my partner discover one (no more, no less) big-rear end bug (species name: Insectus Whatthehellisthat) crawling in our apartment, forcing one of us to It's not like we're messy people or anything; it'd be easy to explain it that way. But we're both rather insistent about not leaving organic messes around (no open food, dishes immediately in the dish washer, etc), so it's a goddamned annoying mystery. We find one, we get rid of it, and we're bug-free for another month or so, until another little one decides to appear out of thin air. That, or we proved whats-his-name right accidentally, and our pile of boxes from shipping can transform into life.

I'm going to assume it's a silverfish (what we call the big-rear end WhatTheFucks down here in Texas) and tell you it's they're probably getting in from outside somehow. I'm currently having the same problem in my bedroom, but it's crickets. Once every two weeks, like clockwork, another hopping little bastard. Where the gently caress are they coming from?!

My friend didn't want to get takoyaki yesterday because it was far away and he was lazy, so we went to his basic neighborhood Vietnamese place where I burnt my tongue on their too hot (and pretty bad) soup. If I'm gonna burn my tongue, I want to burn it on takoyaki.

I have Google Fi for my cellular service. And lately the coverage has been so lovely I am ready to switch. gently caress, starting this week, and Google Fi insists it is normal, I cannot be calling someone AND have nonWifi Internet in use. Since when? Why? Why the gently caress am I paying per GB instead of unlimited for such poo poo loving service? I did at least get the tech to tell me to be professional when I called, after I told him not being able to be on the phone and still scroll Facebook was loving bullshit.

I got a new job. I figured they'd be able to keep me busy but I get things done so quickly it's already kind of boring. I have new tasks in the pipeline but I have to stretch it to 40 hours a week and my salary, though pretty good, doesn't match my productivity by any stretch. This, here, is the ultimate first world problem.

I looked at the forecast and dressed appropriately for a 20C high and full sun, but didn't see the part about a cold front moving in this afternoon and now it's suddenly 6C and raining and I'm in my sandals and a short skirt. Temperature dropped happened in less than 30 minutes.

We'll see if I can move to a place before long with more stuff to do or if this place will dump more work on me but yeah...I started listening to pod casts and have been only partly paying attention while listening to other random crap. First podcast I'll be listening to all of is Ms. Pat's because...well, because she's Ms. Pat.

I thought people were exaggerating but Cuphead is really loving hard. I almost threw my controller across the room and I haven't felt like doing that since Contra 4 on DS. e: There's another huge loving fire in California and it's going to be a smokey mess here again. It's an annual occurence now and those n95 masks will be sold out everywhere. gently caress PG&E too. Mu Zeta has a new favorite as of 14:10 on Oct 26, 2019 |

So many businesses are closed on Sunday. Why are so many vet offices closed on the loving weekends? I swear if I had a billion dollars I would open a 24/7 car repair shop and a vet. Both would have shuttles to take you to work or home within 10 miles of the place. And you wouldnt get charged extra for coming in at midnight or 6am or on a Sunday.

I've itched a small wound on the top of my head. No big thing, guess I scratched a bit too hard; it's scabbing over. But it itches, and I've accidentally scratched off the scab, like, twice. Something about realizing there's a thing on my scalp tells my fingers to Scratch It Off. Gah.

Termite treatment and warranty for one year is $1100. For five years is $1500. I tried taking care of the fuckers myself and it's a lost cause. I am looking at four tubes right now after I drilled and foamed three yesterday. My mouse sometimes goes from the arrow to some odd circle thing and scrolls me wildly up or down the page and I have no idea why.

The right click on my mouse button doesnt stay held down consistently anymore regardless of how I click it, and I want to play Dead by Daylight where most killer powers are used by holding right click. I can still play as The Pig but when I try to put a reverse bear trap on someone, she either puts it on normally or just kinda raves out while holding the trap above her head because the game thinks I'm repeatedly right clicking a dozen times per second.
