Oh wow. I don't even want to imagine that. Normally here the temperature stays under thirty degrees, with only sometimes a few hotter days. The news are already saying it is an exceptional warm summer this year due to this heatwave.

The storm could just make a stop at your place on the way down to Switzerland, it is on the way ;-)

That would help. Setting yourself up as someone with all the answers makes people more disappointed when they see that you don't.

Random web browsing. Got a scam screen saying the FBI was after me, but that they'd back off if I sent them 500 dollars. -laughs-

Not sure if being a simple country girl has anything to do with it. I just think they're generally unpleasant wastes of time.

Had anyone played Influx? I was playing a few games over the weekend (bit of Tengami, Where is my Heart?, and some more Lego Batman), but I also tried Influx, and I must say, it runs horribly. I more than met the minimum specs, yet it took ages to load, and kept freezing, and it seems other have a similar problem. It seems it is very poorly optimised. I just gave up on it. While it looks okay, I have played much better looking games that ran perfectly smooth. I was just curious if anyone else had had this problem with Influx?

Not sure yet. What I picked looked good at a glance as I went through the 900+ I have stored.

I could pick something now, but it could change at the spur of the moment.

I know I want to play Original Sin and Wasteland 2, but those have prequels to get through first.
I want to play D4, but it seems wrong to do that when I haven't done Deadly Premonition yet.

I still need wasteland 2. Been a huge fan of the first one for years upon years.

The strange thing is that some of the weather men during the medieval days were quite accurate, so it makes you wonder why they need all the equipment these days. :-)

Is that a virus then, or just a popup? I guess a virus, as you don't hit me as a person who would fall for a popup.

I was only joking about the country girl bit, although I am not a fan of big cities and overly crowded events. I prefer things a lot more relaxed, pleasant, and friendly.

You don't want to imagine Endre in his mankini keeping cool in the 37 degrees heat? Why not, he looks so cute in it. :-)

(I do wonder, while we joke about the mankini, do men ever actually wear it for real and not just for the comical effect?)

What video card? It does say that ATI onboard is not supported.
Sounds very much like a video issue.

Good argument ;-)
But seriously, I hope no one wears these things voluntarily they look just ridiculous.

Ah, that could be it, but I am not sure if it an onboard card or stand alone card, but it is an ATI card. I don't really mind, I got the game as a mystery game during the mutator promo, and I was just curious to give it a try.

They have a female version as well, but I guess those would not be called mankinis. :-)

Those are called slingshot bikinis :)

That's a good question. If I were in that business, I'd be inclined to check the older methods, just to get a feel for things beyond the strictly technological.

From what I've read, it's definitely a virus when it works as intended. It will lock you out of your computer until you manage to wipe it out.

Male here, and there's no way I'd ever wear such a thing, either seriously or as a joke.

And they're really uncomfortable too, Of course DD got me one size too small......

I see. Some people wear the most bizarre things on the beach. :-)

mankini's are the moment I step out. lol

better than nothing i guess...
