Okay here’s the plan.

I gonna slam the door open, run straight in, and attack with the most basic of attacks I can think of.

It’s foolproof.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like.

Turns out, (according to the US government) I was experiencing it all along.

I used to hate when this happened to me. Someone reviving a post from ages ago to answer a question that I already found months/years ago.

But hey, it could help someone else in the future if I didn’t go back and post the answer to my own question (spoiler alert: I didn’t) so now I just do what OP does and thank them for their time, move on with my day. Chuckle at the stupidity of my youth.

Some people get angry about things like that. Just be chill, they probably didn’t notice how long ago it was posted.

/uj You know, I’ve known someone who plays violin for decades, I’ve helped her practice, attended concerts, she even tried to teach me a few things on it here and there…

I have never seen that piece.

Neat!

/j Always acquire/make a suppressor, it’s not just about your own hearing, it’s about being a good quiet neighbor. Really you’re just doing everyone else a public service.

My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.

But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.

And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.

I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.

I’ve got a pretty nice system.

1: PANIC

B- Go

You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.

It’s worked so far.

“It was great seeing you again”

“but… You just got here five minutes ago”

“SO great…”

Ah yes, the classic Grand Ship of Sissyphus Problem.

This has stumped philosophers since the dawn of the cretaceous.

May I… Stand unshaken…

“…thank you…”

I’m not crying YOU’RE CRYING

I got a new laptop last year, and now the old one is sitting next to my laser engraver, probably hoping I will never open it again but it’s going to be my dedicated laser laptop now.

At least the programs I’m using on it are all 5ish years old, so it’s not straining to keep up with new software.

I can still feel it heat up a lot just being idle, and I’d like to clean it up to improve it’s response time.

This comic has made me feel bad for my old laptop…

The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.

That’s it.

I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.

My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…

So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.

Indeed.

I had put so many hours into trying to sort my bases for NG that I didn’t even want to try and start over for NG+.

If I ever DO decide to pick it up again, assuming the save is still compatible I made a separate save file before finishing the game just to be sure.

Who knows, maybe someone will make mods to make it the game we all wanted it to be and I’ll give it another go.

Star field couple have been a lot of things if people who haven’t picked up a controller in decades hadn’t decided to try and make it as generic and casual as possible.

And maybe it’s just me, but the second I

, I lost all interest in playing the game itself.

They made the content of individual plays not matter to me, so once I did a few speed runs to the finish line I just deleted the game and haven’t played it since.

Also i could never figure out their base management system. I was hoping for something like “fallout 4 settlements in space” but all I got was “way less complicated Satisfactory”.

I stopped playing about a month after it came out, so there’s a chance they fixed some issues that I didn’t know were issues, but I still haven’t had the desire to try playing it again.

I have “all time fave” which are games I keep reinstalling every so often, then I have “installed” vs “not installed”

The category for favorites is just so when I inevitably go to look for a game to install because I’m bored with what I have, it’s at the top when I un-check the “installed” button.

There’s also one where the child is intersex and collapses during their basketball game.

A balrog? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within the confines of the walkway leading from the crack of doom?

As someone who paid enough attention in highschool chemistry to get a B, and occasionally watches Nile(red/blue) and E&I videos… I know some of these words/symbols!

Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…

I’m sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.

“oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn’t tell us what happened inside. Something’s fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves.”

Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.

The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can’t know.

(but probably)
