Random Rants #63: These Rants Don't Run

[Takhisis]

As long as he doesn't NES…

 

[Snerk]

I suggest that you play more mafia games.

I would be playing mafia right now if a certain stupid village hadn't lynched me!

Or you could join IOT~~~

One day, one day..

 

[gay_Aleks]

There's nothing left of NES to...well, NES in, so I think IOT would be a natural choice.

 

[Takhisis]

Then play better, baka Suneruku-san! And it's NotW, not mafia.

 

[Snerk]

Then play better, baka Suneruku-san! And it's NotW, not mafia.

If the village wants the snerk they'll have to earn him. And it's all mafia by now, stop living in the past, daddy'o.

 

[Arakhor]

Just think of it as finally accepting your fate after my last game where you outright refused to die each night.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Nobody has to die in IOT! You can live *forever*!

 

[Arakhor]

But... who wants to live forever anyway?

 

[gay_Aleks]

The same person who has several hours to waste on IOTChat.

 

[Takhisis]

Come to fiftychat, where your time is not wasted.

 

[Arakhor]

What the hell is going on here? Why would you do this?!

[Takhisis]

Heheheheheh. I've spent some time perusing the Indy's comments column and there's quite a few people who complain that pith gets under their fingernails and is, to put it into the correct register, ‘icky’.

 

[Arakhor]

Because of course, once you've taken the pith, it's all under your fingernails! Icky, indeed.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, I cannot be blamed for the infantility of the contributors to an online newspaper's comment section now, can I?

 

[Borachio]

Hmm.

All that talk about pith is fairly witty, if you ask me.

I guess peeled satsumas are for people in a real hurry, though.

 

[W|M]

Plus if you don't clean your fingernails, you can end up with Pith the Elder and Pith the Younger

 

[Arakhor]

Booo!!

Somehow, I manage to find the oddest and stupidest hardware. And somehow, I'm unable to find screens of the keyboard.

Case in scenario, my new keyboard. It seems that the "clever" person who designed it decided to get rid of PgUp, PgDown...and, well, Pause? Sure, fair enough, I can see why. So, what did he do? He crammed Prnt Scrn, Insert, Delete, Scroll Lock, Home and End in an awkward rectangle just above the arrow keys. In the place of where Scroll Lock and Prnt Scrn were, he put Power/Sleep/Wake up...which don't do anything.

Or, to be exact, not what they should do. Power does screenshots. PrntScrn, in its own, acts as HOME. The button called Home does PgUp, while Scroll Lock doesn't do Scroll Lock, it acts as PgDown. Scroll Lock's done by Wake Up.

Also, the backspace is criminally small.

In short: If your keyboard doesn't end up looking like an A4Tech keyboard, somewhere down the line while designing it, you've taken a turn for the worse.

I just read two incredibly depressing articles about Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Chuck Schumer promoting terrible right-wing policies. And I'm too angry to actually make OPs about them.

There was once a computer keyboard where they moved the delete key and placed an off-button that would more or less instantly shut down the computer and erase all work that wasn't saved. So at least you don't have to deal with that level of insanity!
