Random Rants 80: Computer Says No

[Patine]

Just pretend you're a Klingon. According to Worf, it's a warrior's drink.

There's no real warriors in the modern real world, Valka. There's a self-deluded, pretensious few who THINK they're "warriors" - and then there's the vast majority of us.

That's why I used the word "pretend."

 

[Hygro]

Wait, what? Did he really say that?

No, of course not.

A small rant: WIndows Vista and later added a nice "Saved Games" folder into the user profile. So of course games released long after that still stick their saves in Documents.

 

[Arakhor]

I prefer game stuff to be in My Documents. That way it's easier to find.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Yes but it makes a mess of my folders. I end up just junction-linking them into Saved Games (symlinks sometimes fail) and then setting them as hidden.

After weeks of chemical bombardment, I declared a unilateral cease fire against the ant-separatist insurgents. The tenuous new state of peace held for a few days but today a terrorist was spotted trying to infiltrate the kitchen island.

I am hereby declaring Operation Rolling Roundup. As the separatists have shown that peaceful co-existence is not possible, widespread chemical bombardment shall commence and continue until the ant threat is eliminated from this apartment.

The ants will always win. They have massive advantages in numbers, fecundity, and period of education to breed new soldiers.

I was worried until the last sentence.

I'll make it legal.

Then I shall take the fight to their breeding chambers and bathe myself in the goo of their larvae.

Tbh I would suggest leaving a small offering of food outside the apartment and maybe they'll go for that

The ants in your apartment has sent me as an envoy. We're wish to discuss terms. Further bloodshed is unnecessary. We're willing to make some concessions. But total war is also on the table, along with your left overs.

My neighbors wouldn't go for that lol. My only door opens into the common area.

It's fine though, they're really on the ropes. I saw a single ant today for the first time in over a week and before that they were only showing up in ones or twos for the previous week.

When the envoy arrived from your lands, I kicked him down a well. WE ARE SPARTA

Ah yes, I thought maybe this might be an objection, but wasn't sure exactly what your setup was.

That's what you think, but there is no stopping them, the ants...will soon be here. I for one would like to welcome our new insect overlords....

What hobbs doesn't know is that ants allied bedbugs are secretly preparing a second front in the bedroom.

That's when you give up and torch the place.
