Mmmm I love the taste of affluent guilt.

Maybe I should give away my inheritance when my parents kick it. I don’t deserve it anyways.

I will happily take all that guilt off your hands
really, just ask, I will accept this burden

Noone should have to bear all of that themselves, Spin. I insist on helping. You deserve it.

I just don't think it's funny.

You mean your parents have assets that you could inherit!?

Ill probably just get a horse. And sell it, because i literally cant afford to take care of myself.

I worked so hard, for so long, to be free.  Next week I'm moving back, permanently.
Finally won my freedom, lived it a while, and now I'm throwing it aside.  Because I want to.  And I proved that I didn't need them.

If there's any sort of final score, I hope I'm getting points.  But this is definitely happening.  And soon I'll have to be in charge, and I'll do it well, because that is what circumstance and family require of me.

Sorry for lashing out, Dun.  Jealousy, largely.

The tram I planned on catching arrived while I was still something like thirty metres from the stop, and I have a painful stone in my shoe (not to mention a cubic buttload of social anxiety) that prevented me from running for it.
Now I'll be even later than I was already running, and quite likely miss some of the band I am most excited to see tonight.

Edit: okay, good news, apparently the running order was changed up, so I'm not missing any of their set. Instead I am greeted with some especially ghastly trad/power metal or whatever people call it.
The sad thing is, the only thing that really ruins this band is the horribly prominent clean vocals... the riffs are good and the vocalist has great growls and screams, but he insists on focusing mostly on this cringy, soaring clean singing that is simply painful to listen to.

[Dunamisdeos]

I completely missed whatever happened, but hey, all good? Sorry if I was inappropriate.

My mild sad is that my knees hurt today. I have a joint condition that hasn't flared up for years but its my lucky day. Mild but omnipresent pain and swelling.

i bought forza horizon 3 the other day and trying to actually download it has been such a pain in the ass

my usual method for downloading large games which involves taking my laptop somewhere with actual internet, backing up the program and then moving the backup to my PC to restore it doesn't work because forza horizon 3 is only on the windows 10 store which doesn't support basic stuff like making backups because it's just so good that it never needs to

also it doesn't offer refunds ever so that's a thing

so after like 4 days of figuring out what to do i finally discovered some stupid method of manually downloading the game installer which involves capturing urls and downloading them in IDM except i can't actually use fiddler to get the urls because i need to actually start a download to do that and the windows 10 store isn't letting me because it's stupid and thinks my laptop is 32 bit and after i managed to get around that i had to spend a million years fixing this stupid "UNKNOWN LAYOUT IN MANIFEST" error which popped up out of nowhere and holy fuck I just want to play the game already

There's a streamer I watch (Jerma985) who had a semi-sarcastic on-stream meltdown because he wanted to play Red Dead Redemption from the Windows 10 store.  He paid for it and had a functioning internet connection, but it still wouldn't let him download it.

[Yoink]

Was woken up over an hour earlier than planned. Great.
Really want to go back to sleep, but then I would probably sleep allll day, and there's a lot of shit I need to do. Great start to the day, huh?

[Eric Blank]

So tired and sore. Dont wanna go to work. Send help

And the first snow has fallen. Even with all the windows closed, and with the heating working in the apartment, it still feels cold. That's Siberia for ya...

Heh, I had a funny idea about running Windows 10 in a Virtual Machine, then putting the VM software on your laptop for the download, then put the Windows 10 VM back onto your main machine. I'm wondering if you could take a working Windows 10 install and get that to load in VMWare? e.g. something like chunking the entire SSD into an external case and putting it on the laptop, mounted in VMWare. Or even, you know, if you could get your laptop to boot off the same HD as the PC does.

If you could do that you could effectively make your whole main machine portable for the download biz.

I'm also wondering if a fix such as choosing an external drive as the game's download directory and installing it there, while also copying registry keys would do the job?

doubtful. Windows Store titles tend to make flagrant use of the WinSXS folder, which **HAS** to be on the main system volume, because softlinks just arent good enough for microsoft. No no no, must be hard links in the inode structure, because of reasons.
