Random Rants 75: This is Bat Country!

[Broken_Erika]

The first PC I had access to was a TRS-80 model one, and a tape drive was the only storage it had.

The Trash-80?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Honestly, if I was an alien, I'd stay far away from earth. Its inhabitants are a bit too fond of blowing each other up.

 

[Arakhor]

As with so many other things, there's just the right Tom Scott video for this.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

That guy in the Zany Golf video is also the same one who does Freeman's Mind, if you've ever heard of it. Here's one of my favourites (mostly because of the soul contract story )

I've never heard of either game. The Hell game reminds me somewhat of Speedy Eggbert, with the constant need to avoid hazards (some of which are death by drowning or lava) and get to an exit gate. Treasure chests have to be collected, and it's a good idea to collect extra lives whenever possible.

 

[Hygro]

It is not bad idea. But painting radioactivity is going to be a challenge.

Try being creative instead of recreative.

 

[cardgame]

Is takh not hip to af?

 

[Takhisis]

Rant: I have a sore neck and cardgame misunderstands me.

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Too late.

I have become like him.

But I am still capable of reproducing objects with some degree of accuracy. Is that art?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

The alarm on my clock somehow unset itself. I was an hour and a half late for my medication.

 

[Cutlass]

This site has become almost unviewably slow for me past couple days. Rest of the internet is working. But most pages here won't load.

Sure but if you draw weird nonsense for a while you'll get your artistic mojo back, and then can put your technical prowess to work.

It's -17 celsius here and even though the heat's turned on, my toe (broke it years ago, healed wrong) really hurts.

 

[Kyriakos]

I need more money. I hope that +200 more euro/month isnt far away.

 

[MaryKB]

Oh I do hope you get your increase soon @Kyriakos! Oh I remember those years where I just wished I had even another $100 a month!

I feel ashamed about myself from Saturday, I went out on a double lunch date, and I ordered food (I normally don't eat lunch). After eating, I felt really guilty, and I started feeling upset in my tummy, and I went to the bathroom and I tried to make myself throw up (I wasn't successful at inducing vomiting). To make up, I had only half a cup of steamed broccoli for dinner, but I still don't know what I was thinking.

This sounds like you have bulimia, feeling really guilty and trying to make yourself throw up is not a healthy or normal response to eating lunch.

edit: to be clear I'm saying this from a place of concern. I don't want you to have bulimia or exhibit symptoms of bulimia.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

You should talk to someone about that, a therapist or a help-line maybe. That's not healthy.

Rant: I was trying to make lunch and I turned on the stove and now there's smoke everywhere and the smoke detector for the entire apartment building is going off. I think I messed up.

EDIT: The firefighters came and turned off the alarm. They were laughing about it so I guess I'm not in trouble.

Another rant: The right hinge of my Nintendo 3DS has a crack and it's starting to come right apart. I looked into getting it repaired through a warranty a few months ago but Nintendo wanted something like $80 + shipping for to do so, which I really can't afford for something this minor.

 

[yung.carl.jung]

my move was succesfull, but not without damage.

I somehow managed to carry a 300 pound massive armoire up in the 2nd floor with the help of my neighbor. it crushed my arm a little bit, I have a huge bruise that's basically almost all of my lower arm and has a really ugly blue and yellow color. however, on top of that bruise, I have a mid-sized hematoma (luckily I don't think my bones were hurt). now today I utterly scalded part of that hematoma with boiling water from my kettle, it hurts like balls and now my arm looks even weirder. like a three layer ice cream waffle of pain.

at least it's a welcome excuse to take some pain killers and drink carribean cocktails from my new blender! weee!

 

[Silurian]

@yung.carl.jung please keep away from anything sharp for the next few days.

 

[Takhisis]

Such as blender blades?
