Random Rants XI: This Title Actually Has Some Imagination

[D'Artagnan59]

Join the club. Public transportation isn't designed for people 6 feet tall and up.

Actually, I'm 5'11 1/2, but close enough.

What I'm saying is, people who are, say, 6'5" like me have had to deal with this crap for years. It ain't new. Shower heads are too low, there's not enough space on airplanes, desks are too small, door clearance is too low, you get the idea. So, again: join the club.

It's my day off. I'm taking a nap. My brother calls me to ask a question about printers. I am not happy.

A dry sense of humour is apparantly the likes of sarcasm, and called 'deadpan.' I have been descirbed as having a dry sense of humour. 'Dry humour' redirects to 'deadpan' on Wikipedia.

Deadpan is a form of comic delivery in which humor is presented without a change in emotion or facial expression, usually speaking in a monotonous manner.

No, I don't think that's me at all.

Try some Red Dwarf...

The second guy was funny.

The little tiny teeny robots part was funny, as was the tour of emotions.

It took me a while to understand the premise. After that I had a hard time understanding the guy. But otherwise it was pretty funny.

Or Monty Python...

Welcome to the world of true comedy! :hatoff:

It was a bad example to choose, I suppose. If you really like Red Dwarf though, I'd recommend seeing more of them on YouTube or elsewhere. I've practically been in hysterics over Red Dwarf, and once you understand the premise it is really interesting to watch to boot.

Just found out I had to pledge fealty to the British monarch to become a Canadian citizen.

Yes, phi-I mean carmen, has the same problem. its hilarious.

My school's fee payment website is the most ghetto site on the whole frakking web.

Seriously, the damn thing can't stay up for more than 5 minutes. I might get the classes I signed up for dropped because they're website doesn't work when I want to use it.

Also, they shut it down after a certain time. Are they ********? Servers don't need to sleep, you don't need to have business hours for them,

 

[Dachs]

No, it's not funny at all. It pisses me off on a regular basis.

Heh, I'm like 5'7'', so a lot of these things have traditionally been too high/big for me.

RANT: I'm having trouble installing EB. Do I need to uninstall RTW since I have RTR installed, and reinstall all the way to BI 1.2?

RANT: I'm having trouble installing EB. Do I need to uninstall RTW since I have RTR installed, and reinstall all the way to BI 1.2?

Since EB is a total conversion mod, you have to uninstall any previous mods before you put that on. It's annoying, because RTW in general is not a particularly mod-friendly game. Modfolders didn't really come into use for TW games until M2TW anyway.

Irksomely, RTR's FAQ directs me to a nonexistent forum page when discussing modfolders etc., and a quick forum search is not yielding much. If you can have two installs on your computer that would probably work best p) but elseways you're going to need to take off RTR.

Did you fix that win-conditions problem, btw?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

No I did not. I'll just keep the Save file until I want to finish it.

I can't install EB right now then anyway, since my RTW disks are not with me at the moment.

Taking RTR's files off shouldn't require a full reinstall unless the makers were dicks and didn't give you an 'uninstall RTR' exe. There's usually an option for that in mods.

I was going to take a haircut today, but I got snowed in.

I'm going to do that tomorrow actually, and keep the beard. Hopefully minus the snowed in part.

My friend had to have his appendix removed today. Fortunately they caught it early, but he's still gonna have a rough next couple of weeks

 

[silver 2039]

My laptop charger however isn't.

 

[Alpine Trooper]
