Random Rants LIII: F My Life

[Mango Elephant]

I tried making out with a girl who had a boyfriend. Who was very close by. It went...not well. I wish such women were ID-tagged or something.

Did she ask you?

 

[Kozmos]

Did she ask you?

No I had a half a bottle of brandy in me and we were really hitting it off in conversation and then I misread some body signals because she was always nudging closer until we were touching on several points. (and I'm pretty sure I'm not a low talker and it wasn't crowded) I reasoned there was no real, rational need for that except for you know...but what do I know apparently? It's after days like that I really don't feel like tangling with women in that fashion. Just stupid, stupid mistakes.

I absolutely HATE it when people look down on others for being unable to afford better computers for video games, as if us low-end PC folks were impeding the progress and development of video games. Obviously we are all swimming in ornery and don't have to worry about other priorities in life like medical bills or caring for family members or paying rent and groceries or what not.

It's why I often sympathize with the console peasants, even though they'd probably lump me with the PC master race buffoons anyways.

Certain members of the community surrounding the Celestia space software are ESPECIALLY snobbish in this regard, as well as certain CFC'ers here.

Stuck in a dorm room with these annoying American girls. They're evidently 18-21, that peculiarly American age group which has a 15 year old's attitude towards alcohol. Came into the room after clubbing at about 3am last night, and apparently content that everyone else must be sound asleep, proceeded to verbalise their latest respective existential crises, that existence apparently revolving around who's hooking up with who. At least I now know not to trust someone named Nicole.

It's a decent laptop, though, I hope?

It is a Lenovo Y510P, which has an i7, 16 GB of ram and a twin Geforce GT755m. Good enough for me, and it can run most games on high, though not all of them. I have a decent amount of sympathy for those who cannot afford such luxury though, since I was such a person for a very long time.

Try it again when you have the chance, it is relatively easy. It is harder to make out with girls who club with a lot of their lady-friends, since they may resist you.

So basically better than my desktop, though, which can barely run Skyrim on low (with performance mods).

But still not good enough for PC master race.



So... where would we PC fiends who aren't console peasants but also aren't PC master race... what are we? Free-roaming bandits?

How long did you have to stay in hospital ^^?

The setup itself could be a start of a very interesting night .

Our drinking age is 21, and it's very popular to drink while in other countries where it's not illegal.

Alternatively, you could try to limit your alcohol intake.

Just remember members of the glorious PC master race that have ancient boxes but access to the internet also have access to an amazing number of fantastic games gone freeware with age. Plus, they tend to view that as totally legit and even kinda cool, unlike having an original Xbox still hooked up. Though I do have to admit, the Atari 2600 is finally starting to earn some cred back.

Abandonware forevurh!

How silly. But then you have mandatory virginity loss, too.

Uh, yes! We are the mediators between the illiterate, uneducated console peasants and the snobbish, cruel PC master race, the bringers of balance and justice to the world...

I've been trying this out but I keep remembering I have work to do.

I have jury duty tomorrow.

When I called the number to confirm I found that they will require juror # 1 through # 470 to show up. I'm juror # 419.

This will requiring waking up much earlier than I am wont to do.

I'm not sure if I'll actually serve on a jury or will just have to sit on an uncomfortable bench for hours.


I'm hoping that the situation will be one where I can convince my fellow jurors to nullify an unjust law, but the odds of that are probably pretty low.

 

[Dachs]

oh suuuuure i can write twenty pages for tomorrow no sweat

...what do you mean it has to have "literary merit"

 

[ReindeerThistle]

RANT: effed up my back today finishing up work on my van... getting old sucks.

Rave: got plenty of time to catch up on CFC, FB, call the gf, and text my former cheerleader high school friend about her latest film project.

Car fixed, driver broken... ugh.

 

[SoupJuice]

RANT: I have a bowl of chocolate easter eggs I keep eating for no reason, they are not healthy

RAVE: I have a bowl of chocolate easter eggs in my kitchen, I have one or two each time I'm down there

If I never see the terms "Maßnahmenstaat", "working towards the Führer", "Gauleiter", and "Machtergreifung" again, it'll be too soon.

 

[Tahuti]

Probably not a problem, probably...

...but, a girl I was poised to asked out just established a relationship with another! I guess I will ask her ask out anyway, and see if she is interested in an affair. She responded fairly positively when I said I liked her (this was after I learned about the relationship), so she just might be worth a try.

We seem to have the same idea, unfortunately enough.
