    Cass I don't know if I can deal with you and Mim changing your avatar today. I can only take so much.

    Also I have always known you as that pink-haired lady.

    The pink haired lady was a shop. She was blonde the whole time!!
    no, damn it, no

    she had beautiful totally natural pink hair

    as all pink haired women do

    That is a good compromise, if you're unwilling to install it yourself.

    90 what for the install?

    90 dollers?

    i could do it for you for half that price.

    it might spontaneously combust afterwards
  • skippydumptruckskippydumptruck FAK U HODGEHEG Registered User regular
    oh shit

    they'll do the install if you bring in the hdd

    $90 for just the install, $120 with data transfer (which I should be able to do myself)

    it's unfair!

    Also my guild did an annual trip to Vegas. I have a picture of me and my guild mates at the Star Trek Experience. There is one of the Klingon actors posing with us. I think that's pretty close to maximum geeky.
    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    I think I'd rather have someone else do it

    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    I don't fault you for having someone else do it, but I will subtly imply impotence.

    Apparently it is! And SNL does skits of whatever they want p much, I distinctly remember one based entirely around those little stomach aliens from Arnold Schwartzenegger's modern classic "Total Recall."

    I love giving "for tax purposes" as the reason for something that cannot conceivably have anything to do with tax purposes.

    It is something that brings me joy in this bleak earth.

    They're telling human stories in a fantasy world. It's a crossover hit.

    Either way, i refuse to spend... let's see... Jeepers, $75!

    i refuse to spend $75 on a 10-episode season.

    For that much, i could get, like, 5 games on Steam and get at least 10 times the entertainment...

    hmm I think I will do this

    maybe I can just limp along with my imac for another few months this way

    I asked about swapping an ssd in but he said that I wouldn't see the same performance benefits as a new computer with newer architecture

    I don't know enough to evaluate that statement but if I can fix it for $150 I guess that's cool

    My father in law knows about it. He doesn't watch it, but he asks if I'm watching it.

    It would actually be a really bizarre conversation if I didn't think he was such a cool guy.

    oh and I found out something else just lovely about how nasty Neverwinter is under the hood while playing last night: items have to be identified (like in Diablo). But you can't buy id scrolls with gold. You can only buy them with the lesser-tier funbucks called "Astral Diamonds".

    You can get "Rough Astral Diamonds" from certain daily quests. But you can only convert those to Astral Diamonds at a certain rate per day. And of course Astral Diamonds are the only in-game thing tradeable for the real-funbucks called "Zen" (1 Zen = 1 cent in US dollars).

    Every time I play I get more pissed off at this exploitative Korean style optimized for profit bullshit. The multiple layers of funbucks just exist to confuse the user and extract more money while providing a worse user experience.

    If neverwinter was $50 up front and $15 / month I would pay it and play happily. But what they are charging is just fucking insane.

    Oh, and just over 50 gallons down from when I posted that picture this morning.

    Did I mention that this is all in the name of delivering 20 tons of orange Fanta from the Bay Area to Portland overnight?

    When presented with two options that interest you, choose both.
