Stilton: Hi Crow.

Things are good here. It was fast and furious earlier, and a lot of fun.

Downloads done! Copying as I type. The end is nigh, and it feels good :-)
avatar
CarrionCrow: Sounds good. Beats things going slowly every time.

Congratulations. =) You should be in good shape for a while after it's all said and done.
I'm just looking forward to playing a game now. Pending is a pain in the arse.

l0rdtr3k: Going to the gym now.

Try to set and forget one more time. It took me hours to transfer everything over to the external.

Doing good, if a little drained. Got up in the small hours for some reason and have felt a bit sluggish ever since. Killed off the downloads at last, and that might be a part of the problem: a few days stuck in front of the screen watching games download isn't exactly exciting :-)

How about yourself?

I've got about a dozen alphabetical folders left to put on one of the externals (I like backup of my backup, just in case-case) and I'm done. Saying that, some of the folders have big gig counts, but without downloading to compete with the process feels fairly quick. I am definitely going on holiday after this :-)

Given how frigging long it takes for a full backup, having a double setup makes perfect sense. Thinking I'll be taking a break from buying after the next big sale, will put money aside for another external.

-laughs- Good idea. Play some stuff, have fun, enjoy it rather than shuffle it all back and forth.

Morning Crow, doing well?
I could have got another hard drive or about 25 nice games. Went and bought a medium size load of groceries instead.
Wish eating was as inexpensive as gaming. :-)

If I see anything even remotely like 'About 9 minutes and 30 seconds remaining' just one more time I'm giving up and becoming a monk. Repetition is one thing, but slow repetition with seemingly endless repeats of the same message has become almost unbearable.

I've unplugged my fan to make space on the power strip for the external. Now, the true slog begins...

GOG games! You'll have to play hundreds to make sure its completely accurate!

Seriously, what kind of choices do you have?

Been getting more sick here, so I've been in bed most of the day watching star trek.

toxicTom: What are the choices?
There are none. xD Just whatever I can come up with that's literary enough to be passable. I was originally going to do something in the field of premodern literature, which is what I did for my bachelor's thesis, but I can't think of anything right now. So I'm shifting towards more modern literature. I'd like to do something about women in literature, so maybe in Victorian novels/gothic romance. I'd really really like to do women in science fiction (or alternatively dystopian fiction) but I'm not sure they'll give me a pass on that.

EndreWhiteMane: Are Pizza or Boobs an option?
Depends on how much peer-reviewed criticism they've received. ;)

Hahahaha. xD Oddly enough I would be allowed to do children's literature if it drew me, probably.

As long as it's related to literature! Either pre-modern, early modern or modern.

Good evening everyone *big hugs and waves* :)

ddickinson: If people wish to typecast a country based on a few people then that is their fault. It would be like classing all the Americans as overweight, rude, obnoxious jerks, or all the Germans as Nazis and things like that. Those elements exist in both cultures, but that does not mean they are all like that, just look at this thread. The Americans here are awesome, just like the German regulars.

Humans won't change anytime soon. Despite our arrogance we are still just animals, and such behaviour is build in to our very nature. Do you really think we are any different to when we were cavemen? We are probably worse now as technology and greed have taken center stage.

*big hug*
Sorry...overlooked that one earlier before i left for work.
Well i don't have anything against stereotypes - in a playful manner but i don't like when people show exactly that behaviour other expect from them based on stereotypes....
That makes this thread so great i guess and it is true for all regulars here :)
Your right....we haven't evolved as much as we human thought we had ...

Stilton: Its a really sad situation because education seems to be doing nothing at all to stem the flow. There are so many of them wherever you go, and tolerance, although the civilized choice, will only permit them to keep on thriving. I'd like to be in some kind of hidden government department that goes out and systematically gets rid of them. They offer nothing to the world except the promise that they will create more of their kind. Its terrible.
Well it is terrible but i don't know how to get rid of it by other means than education because all other choices doesn't sound very good...
