Random Rants 80: Computer Says No

[Kyriakos]

I bought a device that measures the air quality in my apartment. Turns out it kinda bad. So I'm shelling out for a fancy air purifier. We'll see if it makes a difference.

I cannot seem to shake this cold

Don't fight it, embrace it. Accept your runny nose as your new permanent reality. Welcome the feeling of every sneeze and dry cough. Rejoice in the comforting embrace that a clogged sinus induced headache brings to the table. Then and only then, will the cold get bored and move on to another poor sucker.

@Kyriakos lol!

Didn't get anything managed at the party yesterday (as usual; was still a good party though), and now my phone refuses to find the GPS signal (necessary for Tinder; yes, gonna try that again).

We have a couple of Aerus purifiers and they work very very well. My wife needs them for asthma and they allow her to not use any medication.

I'm so bored. I need a new computer. Something that can actually run games from this millennium.

We have to do this bit by bit.
What are you trying to run?

In light of Tom Welling joining the next CW crossover event (@EgonSpengler ), I decided it would be a good idea to start setting up for a total re-watch of all the CW DC shows in chronological order and then catching up from where I stopped (3 seasons or so ago). A huge undertaking.

Sláinte! *Raises pint of Guinness.* Good luck with that.

I miss "Powerless," the DC sit-com satirizing corporate life working for Bruce Wayne Industries. One season and then fttt gone.

My sinus infection is turning into an ear infection. Amazing

Hmmm. This is the kind of thing that gets dumped on syndication-dependent South American subsidiaries of US TV channels as an accounting trick to balance the books.

So there's hope.

awake but at what cost

 

[Takhisis]

Unless you've suddenly been teleported to Belgium, don't you think it's a little early for bed?

 

[Synobun]

I will crush you, Argent boy

two part rant

How can there only be two servers for Battlefield 1? What the ****?!

All I want to play is Warhammer II but of course they released an update that invalidated my modlist (which is absolutely essential to me).

Are you absolutely confident you didn't come into possession of any possessed Assyrian reliquaries or were rude to wizened old hags? Because it definitely sounds like you are cursed.

Edit: Went to go play Rome2. Discovered Steam randomly uninstalled* it and Attila so now I need to spend the next hour waiting for Steam to validate those files. Like, WTH steam? I have over 700G of space on my hard drive. It isn't like you need to delete things for space!
*More accurately, it 'no longer recognizes the files'.
EditEdit: Only took a couple minutes. I dunno what happened.

I woke up completely destroyed. Didnt do anything to cause it. I basically feel sick and energy drained, without actually being sick. WTH.

I hear a cyber sinus infection is spreading...

 

[The_J]

I hope not.

That said, feeling better right now, guess the blood pressure is up now, but still not perfect :/.

The good news is that my ear mostly drained over night, so I'm hoping that crisis is averted. The other ear is clogged now but not to the same extent

That's what the flu is like for me. It doesn't really make my nose run or cause a ton of other symptoms besides suppressed appetite, I just *felt* really sick and had no energy. I did have a fever though.

 

[Synobun]

I too was befallen with sudden presumed illness yesterday. I don't remember much of the day. I seem to feel... better...? today. From a certain point of view.

Very inconvenient timing for it.

 

[Lemon Merchant]

Went dancing last night and woke up with a sore back and a pain that is traveling down to my ankle. Not sure what I did, but it's very hard to walk and negotiate stairs.
