Random Rants 80: Computer Says No

@MaryKB I think that many on line friends get very nervous about meeting folks face to face and if that gets close to being real, they bolt.

You aren't supposed to out me to @hobbsyoyo like this

It was their idea! One thing that hurts me too, is that they are also both good friends of each other, and I have this fear that they're still friends and I've been cut out

Another rant: my Steam is broken. I played some Civilization a couple days ago, and Steam says I'm still playing, and won't let me close or do anything!

Went and talked to the landlord. They can't tell us if they'll approve us based on my wife's income until tomorrow at the earliest. More stress.

Check the task manager. Occasionally a game gets stuck running in the background.

I noticed that you were playing Civ most of the night...

Those you thought of as friends, may not be.

I really hope it goes well with getting your apartment approved

It's not there

New rant: I'm fat. I found this super-simple recipe for making garlic butter, and I've become addicted to garlic bread lately. I have these really wonderfully soft baguettes, and I spread the garlic butter on them and add some mozzarella cheese, and broil them for like five minutes. They're super soft and TASTY, but I'm sure I'm packing on the calories.

I've met many on-line friends IRL and have never been disappointed.

If you can't close Steam normally, you can try closing it with the task manager and re-opening it. Maybe that'll fix the problem.

Since 2001 I've actually met only two from civfanatics.

 

[Synobun]

I haven't met anyone from here, thank god.

Wait. I meant unfortunately. Yeah. I haven't met anyone from here... unfortunately.

Back in the old days, my brother and I invited a few on-line CIVII MP players to his house for a few days of Golf and CIV. We had a great time.

Looks like that worked, thank you!

Golf? Great time? How drunk were you all?

I imagine golf could be fun in theory if it involved a reenactment of the movie Caddyshack.

Good. Now I'll take that garlic bread.

 

[MaryKB]

Mini golf is fun, maybe that's what he meant?

Not too bad, I was driving. (the car)
We took them to some really nice courses. (including Kemper Lakes)

Good luck with the landlord, hobbs. Hope for the best.

Choosing seats on my British Air flight to London: $60 each way. For free with my ticket, I get a a middle seat for 9 hours. I love flying Southwest and wish they went everywhere.
