So christmas and my birthday are both cancelled this year because we all have to work. Mom has been working for like two weeks non stop she hasnt even been home, shes sleeping in the guest bedroom upstairs, because more than half their staff refused to work. I guess she gets to tell them theyre all fired tho. When i saw her last we immediately got into a big argument over me not having glasses (the puppy ate them), so this definitely hasnt been good for her

[Frumple]

Ssoooo... anyone else looking forward to not being able to afford replacing their cpu with something lacking the apparently ubiquitous security flaw in more or less every chip made in like the last decade? I know I'm not :V

We had to euthanize my mom's dog today. Big 80 pound Beagle/Australian Ridge Back Hunter. A really sweet boy, he was only 12. But it looks like he went full diabetic sometime in the last month or so. The vet took one look at him and recommended we put him down, as treating a diabetic elderly dog of his size is both expensive and unpleasant for everyone. Still feel bad though, I feel like it wasn't his time. He didn't get hardly any exercise and I don't doubt that contributed to his diabetes. Happy Trails Rufus, you will be missed.

My condolences, Nenjin :/ Losing a dog is always hard.

Spoiler: mild sad (click to show/hide)

Watching Dr. Who, the episodes with David Tennant and the Family of Blood (Mother of Mine, Father of Mine, etc.) He becomes a human to avoid detection, falls in love, cue plot. It's the first time I've seen it since it aired, and I was impressed anew by the character of Martha. Unlike 'Bill' of the current season, whose differences are normalised no matter the time-zone (as in that one episode where she reveals she's gay to the Romans, and they reply that that's sad because really bisexuals are the best), Martha's blackness is actually dealt with. That surprised me; when schoolboys passing her commented on her black hands blending with the dirt, I physically jumped. Martha was obviously outraged on-screen, but was so with dignity. Besides this, it was a genuinely emotive plot, especially where the doctor's persona is killed off and the woman he loved finds out. Makes me sad that the two-dimensional pandering approach has driven me from the series. It used to be magical.

[Frumple]

Ooh. Now imagine doing that, but with oncoming headlights more or less blinding you as they go past, and intermittent hallucinations making it look like something off to the sides is getting ready to come out into the roads.

... I really don't like night driving anymore, at the absolute least at any time that isn't like two in the morning when everyone else is asleep.

[nenjin]

God I hate those things. I can't tell if they're brights are on or if they paid extra for the asshole package. Those headlights to me are an extension of the thinking behind SUVs: you can't see past them, and they will destroy anything they collide with that isn't their size. A sort of "Fuck you, I got mine attitude." Headlights that help you see but both fuck over the people in front of you and the people coming the other way seems tailored to the same kind of mentality.

One of the first strategy games I've played, and one of my favourite ones, which still holds up today as a fun romp and looks pretty damn good for a 16 year old game, SWINE, doesn't work on Windows 10 for whatever reason. The game starts up fine, and I can do the tutorial and all but both of the main campaigns play the intro video before the game screen goes into a black window and becomes unresponsive. Since it's such an old game there's virtually no support online for it

[Xantalos]

Every time I look at something related to Kung Fu Panda 3 I'm reminded of how they just didn't do as good a job on it as they could've. The actual movie turned out fine, but it's so easy to see how they could've made the story better, the villain more appropriate, the everything more ... KFP2 was one of the best sequels I've ever seen for an animated movie in every department. They did everything better than the first, built on it without losing its feel. If they could've done that for the third ... it would've easily been one of my favorite movies of all time. Instead it's just ... it's good, don't get me wrong, but the core message at the center of the story just isn't there like it is with the other two films.

Nnnnnnnnnnnngh unrealized potential

[Gunner-Chan]

I'm stuck in the hospital and it's amazingly painfully boring here. Like to the point I can't even make myself do stuff on the laptop I had brought for me. ... Even if it's my main system and has everything I'd potentially want to really do on it.

Gah. Just wanted to vent a bit more.

[Eric Blank]

But why are you in the hospital?

[Gunner-Chan]

I broke my neck. Thankfully the important parts of my spine and shit aren't affected so I'm not gonna be paralyzed in any way but it's still nasty. I'm already sick of this neck brace.

[Gentlefish]

Broken necks aren't any fun, I'm glad you're okay. I feel you though on the brace, they're a hell of a hassle.
