Ok here is an impossible question for you guys

Why is romance always soooo terrible?

Why is it the worst part of anything it is in with few exceptions?

why is the Romance Genre also equally so terrible most of the time?

Romance isnt terrible, ive been told im a romantic and I guess it fits.
The terrible part is forced romance, or if its biased and the timing, area, moment are only relevant in the persons mind.
Ive both received the bias and given it, for me it was really obvious that the girl wanted a romantic moment but we where just sitting down talking shit.
Im my head it was a fun convo, in hers it was wanting me to kis her on the doorstep in the autumn afternoon light.
Sure kinda romantic but it was her moment. Not 'ours'
Romance is the IED
Romance cinema however is not biased.. its just shit, anything without Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson and the genre of romance are considered to be heretical works forged inside the frozen depths of the E.T game engine, some say when they are reading the code they can hear Henry Thomas’s sickly coughs truly horific shtufh

Last good Romance move I saw was Deadpool.

Last one I saw was My Sassy Girl in 2001.
For a certain value of "good"

Why is the Necronomicon named the Necronomicon? AKA "The Book of the dead"

I mean... It isn't really linked to the dead and the original book Az Asif is more famos as a tomb of arcane lore (it also doesn't translate into "The book of the dead"

There are only two explanations I have for this
1) It is named after its ONE spell that lets you raise the dead back to life.
2) It was named that way because of marketing, the author thought it would be more popular that way.

By the By fiction writers: There are SEVERAL Necronomicons. The only one there is "one of" is the Az Asif. Miskotonic University isn't the only ones who gots a copy of the later editions.

The 'dead' could refer to dead gods, also.

My laptop is plugged in to the charger. It's saying it's not charging, and charge level stays at the same level unless I remove the charger, so it's getting electricity. I removed the battery and put it back in, and that solved it both times I tried until charge got close to 100%, then it froze again.

Any ideas? It's liveable with, but I'd prefer not to.

[GiglameshDespair]

Depending on my laptop battery settings, it won't charge past 56%.
Perhaps that is the reason.

Is Steam DRM tied to your computer or your account? If I were to, say, take my copy of Half-Life 2 off of one computer and plop it on another, would I still be able to play it by logging into my Steam account?

Just looked through all the settings - didn't see anything like it.

It's tied to your account, you can login to Steam on any computer and download HL2 then play it.

Sounds like you're talking about copying the files though, to avoid a big download maybe?  That might work, if you copy the files over then install the game in Steam, I bet it'll see the files and not redownload them.  Source engine games are a little weird though since they share a lot of common resources.

[Frumple]

Quick check says you mostly just have to copy it over, delete the game's main .exe, then tell steam to start downloading (it should find the files you moved over) to replace the .exe and verify once you're done. Probably could get away with just budging it over and verifying, but I'unno.

Ah, alright, thanks. I just got a new computer which can almost certainly run said game. However, I'd previously downloaded the game for my old, crappy 2006 machine, which couldn't run it. I figured that if Steam DRM was account-linked rather than computer-linked, I should be able to just copy the files to the new one instead of straining my highly-bandwidth-restricted satellite internet by downloading the (absolutely ginormous) game a second time.

Then have you tried offering sacrifice to the gods of computers?

Only thing I can think of.

Ok personal question

Should I break my vow never to run a game again because it goes badly and I end up sabotaging myself and disappointing everyone around me?

Words are wind. Become the ubermench in your existential godhead and attain the pinnacle!

I tried that, too. Unfortunately, they rejected my brother's heart. I'm at a loss as to what they may desire.... ):

So I have an ear infection

Should I go to the doctor?
