CarrionCrow: And now, a daily reminder to appreciate the little things in life.

I've been sitting in here, and there's been a stupid fly buzzing around in my face. You know those flies that are just arrogant, maybe a little suicidal, the ones that'll just get right on you and start walking around? It was one of those. The little bastard landed on my glasses while I was wearing that, it's hard to interpret that as anything but an insect-based fuck you. And they kept doing that.

But what's buzzing in my face now? Nothing. Because I killed the tiny pain in the ass. It's much nicer in here now.

ddickinson: i know, sorry if I sounded like I was being serious. I think we are all a little disappointed with GOG due to a number of things that can be easily fixed with a little effort.

Is Uplay bad? I have never used it, or most of those kind of clients. In fact I have only ever used the Steam one once to install a game Soccorro gifted me. Then I just set it to offline and just use the desktop shortcut for the game.

Hopefully the weather will stay nice for you so you can keep enjoying your autumn.

CarrionCrow: -laughs- No need to apologize, I knew it wasn't a serious statement on your part.

It's always-online. If their servers break, you can't play what you paid for. If their program breaks, you can't play what you paid for. If you're somewhere with no internet, you can't play what you paid for. Total garbage.

If the weather channel people aren't drunk on the job yet again, it should be. I hope they are, if for no other reason than the fact that sweating for 5 months solid makes for a very shitty mood enhancer.
I hate damnable kamikaze fly's more than just about anything in the world, every room including the bathroom are equipped with quality fly swatters. :-)

I have never liked the always online stuff. I tend to duel boot into Windows for most games, and I never have Windows connected to the internet, so always online stuff is something I would never use, but then I buy any game with DRM, so it is never really an issue for me.

With the high temperatures you have been getting it would be nice if you could have a cool autumn to give you a rest form all the summer heat.

moonshineshadow: *big hug*
Hmm... if calling it stalking makes you happy then let's call it that ;-)
I picture him with a big smile on his face imagining a lovely German Valkyrie stalking him. :-)

CarrionCrow: Just remember, when the pictures of you wearing assless chaps while mowing your lawn surface? Make sure to own that fully. Don't feel embarrassed, just say, "Hell yeah that's me, and not only does my ass look good, my lawn is frigging immaculate!" ;)
I always wondered, do you get regular chaps that cover the butt, or are they all "assless"? If they are all "assless" then why are the prefixed with "assless"?

I was just kidding about the stalking, but one question:
How'd you know about the chaps?

-laughs- Come on Crow, I'm going to bed soon, and probably DD too. We don't want that kind of imagery in our heads!

ddickinson: You practically wrote what I just did to Endre. :-)
I know how you feel, I guess, although I never really like saying that as we are all different and we don't really know how others are feeling compared to us.

I am very undecided about Terraria. I have looked at it a few times, but I just don't think it is for me. It is not that I hate the game or I think it is bad, I just don't think I have the time for it or that it might not be for me.

*more hugs*
Heh, I noticed that :-p
I don't like to say "I know how you feel" either. There is no way to know that, and I don't want to compare my feelings to someone else. I wish there were a better way to express what I mean though, when I want to let someone know that they are not totally alone.

It's certainly not for everyone. No game is :-p

EndreWhiteMane: Sorry but it makes no sense to have a 'U' in humor. :-)
American, the new improved English. :-)
avatar
Stilton: To an American speaker, I suppose not, but to the Brits, those with the inclination and a feeling for the past, the English language is one of the finer things in life. When used properly it is music and poetry, pathos and euphoria, the emotional spectrum and the intellect's sanctuary. Which is a flowery way of saying that we don't want it to degenerate to the depths of 'Yo!' and 'Awesome!' :-)

If improvement is the definition of lazy, then I agree with you :-)
Yo, I get it now Bro, that's an awesome explanation.

EndreWhiteMane: I hate damnable kamikaze fly's more than just about anything in the world, every room including the bathroom are equipped with quality fly swatters. :-)
Yeah, they suck really badly. Another reason why I can't wait for cold weather. No flies then, they're all dead.

Maybe use "I kind of know how you feel. Oh, and humour is definitely spelt with two "U"s. The Americans just have a strange fetish for stealing all the Us". I am sure that sentence would work. :-)

Just like those Telltale games. They would bore me to death, but I know many here love them.

He said: "What ho, I think I have it there my good fellow. That is most definitely a very adapt explanation you provided for me.

Or something like that. :-)

It's not a great setup, at all. I've got one game with that kind of setup, and I hate that I have it. Not planning on getting any more like that.

Good question. I've been looking online for those, but not finding any. Maybe the word usage is to emphasize the mental image of someone's ass hanging out while they're wearing the leather bits. Also, some people might not be able to attach an easy mental image to the word chaps by itself, but the second word links it together in their head.

I am not sure if I should take that as an insult. :-)

Hello! How are you today?
I'm fine! Dealing with the heat and enjoying the rest of day here.
And you are right on being careful about Terraria. It's not a game that asks for your attention all the time and it can be played on small chunks. However it has a hidden complexity and it can suck you in.

That was spot on :-)

I haven't said good evening yet, so I just did :-) Sorry to hear your head is not behaving. When its like this does it keep you awake for long? Hopefully you'll start to relax and be able to sleep.

Educated guess. If you're out doing yardwork, it's hot, you're sweaty, it'd make sense to go for something that allows for maximum wind-based cooling. Really, with the chaps, you get the best of all possible setups since they're not only assless, but crotchless as well. At the same time, you get some degree of protection in case the mower kicks a rock up. (Well, technically it seems like protection mixed with high-stakes gambling, but still.)

But don't chaps go over trousers, so where did the arseless aspect come into it? (Or assless to keep it American.) :-)
