Not really rage, but annoyance:

ESO going P2P.

Sorry, but my disposable income per month isn't large enough to cover that 15$ sub + 60$ up front fee.
B2P or F2P, these I can manage. P2P just eats me out of the apartment.

Who knows, maybe this uni education will later provide enough disposable income but with the current employment market? That's a hail mary. Until then, this is one game I'll be missing out on. Oh well, at least there'll be EQN.

Worse. They're triple-dipping. You have to buy it, pay a subscription fee AND they have a cash shop.

Not really worth it an ostensibly Elder Scrolls-based MMO (I.E Middle-Earth with ES names slapped on)
Not to mention I really doubt they'll be able to put out enough quality content to justify the price tag.

With a cost of 180 $ per year, I would expect at least 3 Skyrims' worth of content per year. How much is that? Well I've played roughly 625 hours in 1.75 years. So to produce one Skyrim's worth of content means pushing out roughly 357 hours of content per year thus 3 Skyrims' worth of content would be roughly 1071 hours of content per year. Each year has on average 260 weekdays. So that amounts to roughly 4.1 hours of content per weekday. Quality content. New content. Singleplayer content. Fully developed and tested. Every weekday. No exceptions.

Given that Skyrim took 5 years to develop, of which 3 years had full teams, the estimate for Bethesda lies at 0.27-0.45 hours of content per weekday. So at best ZOS would need at least eight times more employers. But project management class has taught me that increasing personnel and/or budget has diminishing returns.

And this doesn't take into account that I've yet to "finish" Skyrim and the DLC, that people don't work every weekday or work at full capacity and efficiency.

To be fair, it's a multiplayer game, and those generally have better replayability. Mainly because you'll be doing the same things against other people.

restart your computer
That's something I've tried a lot.
Uninstalling my mouse drivers(I think) and restarting made my mouse more resistant to it turning off randomly, but it still happens, occasionally.

My mouse just stopped working for some reason. First it wouldn't work at all, except the mouse wheel. Then, movement came back, then the right mouse button. Finally, the left mouse button came back, though not without worry that there might be something wrong with it still.

... y'know, I haven't actually put milk on cereal in like. Probably better than six months. Just... throwing that out there.

Offbrand cereal tends to be cheaper than most snack foods, really, and they're fairly tasty. Eats 'em dry.
I never put milk in. I also eat it by hand, because a metal spoon ruins the taste of cereal for me for some reason. Interestingly about offbrand cereal, I buy the dollar store-brand of Post's Honey Bunches of Oats, and I find that it tastes better than the name-brand kind, and is cheaper to boot.

Ugh I recently bought some cheap cutlery which makes everything taste metallic.

Maybe it's not a stainless as it should be. My guess is that it will start to rust soon, and you should not use it.

Damn it all, I just cannot get Poker Night 2 to work properly. The big solution I found was to run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2, but no dice. I would really like to be able to play the game that I paid for sometime.
I feel your pain. Contact steam support. They'll check everything, and if nothing works, they'll give you a refund.

They did when Civ 4 didn't work for me. Took them a while to respond, tough.

My computer wouldn't return to displaying on the screen after I had left it in sleep mode for some time, requiring me to have to restart it, forcing me to lose work on a story I was trying to write, that hasn't been updated for over half a month...

Nope, because I was writing it on the site I was going to upload it to, and thanks to having to mow the lawn (why I put the computer in sleep mode), I can't recall the damn thing.

Despite liking the taste of metal, at least somewhat, I've already stopped using them.
