After 13 stoic and reliable years, surviving in a climate where the air temperature reaches -40 (f or c, they're the same) yearly, I've had to replace the battery in my vehicle. I wanted to give it a proper Viking burial, but my dad took it in for a $10 credit.

Rip in peace you unstoppable lead beast.

I bought a small sandwich thinking I wasn't that hungry. But now its gone and I really wish I had bought the large one.

Agreed. There's been a shitload of 4x games to come out recently, but they are all bad. Every one of them. Stardrive 2, Master of Orion, Galactic civilization, civ 6, endless space; none of them scratch that itch I've been wanting from a game like that.

If you like Caesar 3, you should check out Lethis - Path of Progress, very Caesar 3 feeling but rather short.

I have to work through the holidays for a measly +135% :cry: :cry: :cry:

Wait, +135%, so a total of 235% of your regular currency per hour?

:argh: I have ~$30 in google play credit, mostly from doing surveys, that starts expiring at the end of this month. I'm trying to find things to spend it on but I don't really care about games or a lot of apps. for some reason all the swiftkey keyboard skins are free now, and I wanted to spend some of the credit on an album that I didn't have but they had a 50% deal so I only used $3.

this is super pathetic lmao

One of my friends got super obsessed with doing those surveys to earn google play credit, and kept telling me to do it too. I have like negative interest in it, since I've owned an android phone for about 6 years and have probably spent a total of $4 on the market.

My friend gave me a very deep massage last night, and since I apparently don't feel pain like a normal person, she probably overdid it. So now I have a dull ache in my hands and arms that's slightly annoying.

Maybe the caffeine? It's probably bullshit though like how people say they get sick from MSG.

Caffeine does raise your blood pressure so I could see a caffeine-induced headache being a real thing, unlike aspartame and MSG headaches.

As with literally any electronic purchase, wait a year. Even if they don't get cheaper, they'll at least possibly have some of their technical glitches worked out. You'll also be able to talk to people who have had one for some time, and can give better reviews than anything currently available (and see if enough good games have come out)

I'm annoyed that my phone's speaker is on the bottom. So if I'm being lazy and resting it on my chest, I'm muffling the sound.

Truly, my life is agony.

I'm annoyed that in they year 2017 they still put the "main" speaker on phones facing outwards, so you cant have it face you and look at the screen.

I want to see two movies tomorrow and I can't decide which dumb thing I want watch first.

I had to preorder my switch through Best Buy which A) meant giving them money and B) they'll probably gently caress it up and I'll have to wait even longer to get it :smith:

See John Wick 2, and then go see John Wick 2 a second time.

Yeah. Legally there is nothing they could do but there is a real lovely culture of reporting anyway. Then run people raw and don't seem to understand germ theory.

If I called out, my supervisors and managers would give me a rash of poo poo and who knows how much extra work might "happen" to come my way.

Edit: It comes from most of my superiors being ex military and think saying, "buck up, bitch" can cure cancer.

I've had a couple bosses who were like that; where unless you literally vomited blood upon them, they didn't believe you were sick.

Reliable paycheck is much better, as it's easier to budget around (though I totally get wanting the occasional big one).

I'm hungry, but I'm also really comfortable in bed right now.

Also my body did that stupid thing it does every now and then where it decides it only needed about 4 hours of sleep to be fully rested. I feel fine now, but I know it'll kick my rear end in about 12 hours.

Another trick for a lot of websites that have paywalls; if it's just an element that covers the screen and blocks your view (and doesn't actually force you off the page), a lot of the time you can set up custom adblock scripts and just remove the element that's blocking your view. Just right-click on it and attempt to block it.

I have over 10 extra Logitech m510 mice just in case they discontinue them. They go on sale several times a year on Amazon so I always pick up a few extra.

I'll suck your dick for one of them.

My 510 just died this week, and am using a lovely laptop mouse as a replacement until I can get a better one. Not having side buttons is the worst.
