Oh early 90s, how poorly you understood software piracy.
I am ashamed to have been born in that decade now.
I was almost born in the 90s.
By 28 days, in fact.
I was born near the very end of the 90s, so I'm more of a 2000s kid.
You can all get the hell off my lawn.

Plot twist:It's not your lawn.
No, it's the old folks' home lawn, but I can still yell at you damned kids.

you're not a 2010s kid? hashtag oldashell

Playing The Sims 3, and I noticed it had my sweetheart's hairstyle in it, almost exactly. And I thought she had a very... unique hairstyle as well. Not "unique" as in bad, but she's the only person I've seen with hair like that.

Oh early 90s, how poorly you understood software piracy.
Had a feeling it was that even before I clicked on it.

Fuck, Borderlands 2 was -125% on Steam due to a glitch (yeah, at -12 Euro). I'm kicking myself for not seeing it until they fixed it.

The 90ies and 80ies seem so long ago.. I feel old.. And melancholic..
I know a possible cure for this feeling.. must play SNES games.

Altough it dosn't really feel the same, as back then..

It's probably the year, but my dreams, and sometimes my waking moments, have been haunted by the sounds of machine guns and artillery for the past week.

I opened up steam to find a 50% off Crusader Kings 2 coupon.

It was then I realised I have no idea how you get coupons for steam. Or that steam even had coupons in the first place.

Making badges from trading cards gives you a random voucher.

EDIT: I have a CK2 voucher as well. I guess steam is just giving that one aaway.

I've never found enough trading cards to make any badges.

No plans on picking up the game either.

Wait, you can do things with the trading cards in Steam?

You don't, you have to trade trading cards on the market to get the ful lset for a game. Or buy them.

It's Steam's less subtle way of making even more money.

... just saw the strangest advertisement. Medical one, gave a list of symptoms, y'know, the usual.

The odd part was that it claimed that 250 million Americans are infected. Now, usually that would mean just the USA (which would mean that roughly 80% of the country is infected with... whatever it was.), but even if it included all the Americas, that's still an infection rate a little over 1 in 4.

Ad didn't say what what the disease was, and there was no way in hell I was going to click on a link spouting a factoid like that, but I... I'm kinda' curious what it was, now. Is... is there anything out there that actually has that level of dispersion? Is this like that old factoid that something like 200% (or 120%? Something like that.) of the USA has a mental illness?


would this be the add?
