My internet is being selectively shitty for some reason. Some videos will load in 720p within a couple of seconds, then others won't load at all. Facepunch will be going quickly, then die, same with Reddit. Steam will download at a good speed of 4.2MB/s and shit will just not work.
Apparently installing Batman Arkham City non GOTY instead of the GOTY version was the biggest mistake I could have ever made
All I wanted to do was save a few GB with the smaller download but that version has 0 GFWL support anymore to actually activate and play, that's all in GOTY for whatever stupid cunt reason
"whatever then i'll just move the files to a GOTY folder and let steam discover that, its literally the same game"

LOL NO
so there's 18.5gb in the download folder but its at 7.9/17.3GB in download, download I really really don't have right now because lol australia bandwidth cap
10/10 if i pirated this turd it would have worked perfectly

ugh why do people drive in snow when they can barely drive when it's nice out
To preface this my grandfather drives a RWD '95 4.6L Lincoln Town Car with 2 busted bags and the cheapest "All-Season" :rolleyes: tires he could buy. So essentially he looks like he's hauling bodies with fucking flip-flops for tires.
So about 3:30 this afternoon I get a call from him to the tune of "help I'm stuck" Okay the road we live on I don't even think the snow plows know it exists and we got a little less than a foot of snow on top of 2 inches of ice I just assume he got stuck getting the mail or something......nope. "Where Are You?"......."*insert town 30 miles away here*"........0.o "come again?"........."I'll be there in 45". I'll be fucked if he didn't get 30 miles away (For .20¢ cheaper milk mind you....) hit a patch of ice spin the bitch and "park" it into a drift in the breakdown lane. I spend 30 minutes pulling him out and another hour and a half driving back doing fucking 25 to make sure his ass doesn't get stuck again... On the plus side he filled up my tank although his .20¢ cheaper milk ended up costing him 38.78$
Managed to talk to my supervisor today about that missed deadline.
Situation: Salvaged.
Sense of relief is in orbit. Even though I have a shit load of work to still do I'm going to take tonight off. Past 8 weeks have not been kind to me.
I just realized why I didn't have any friends and how many missed opportunities there were when I was smaller because I was an ignorant little shit, and how my life now is a trainwreck because of that. Now I'm damn depressed because I'm never getting that time back.
help

That realization only makes you stronger through the acquisition of important knowledge. You may never be getting that time back but that was the case before then too, meanwhile you now have the tools to correct your mistakes and get back on track. This burst of awareness isn't a tragedy, it is a great opportunity to progress and become a better, more complete person!
Focus on what you can achieve instead of the things you can't change.
Middle mouse button keeps randomly stop working for hours and coming back.
It's very bothersome when you're playing games where middle mouse button is necessary or browsing, I can't close or open new tabs the way I normally do it.
What's worse is when people try to solve it "Look in control panel for mouse!"
And do WHAT? There's nothing about middle mouse button, there's left, right and wheel.

My mom doesn't know how to computer and flips out when I tell her how to do something and that it's her laziness that causes the issue in the first place. She keeps just clicking through save prompts and doesn't know where a file is saved and then flips out when I tell her how to find it and just gets angry at me for being angry that I'm constantly having to fix her stupid mistakes.
I miss the days when games with creative protagonists and shit in games were the rule rather than the exception. You could play one game and be a psychic 10 year old in a ridiculous outfit saving a campground, or an anthropomorphic Bandicoot, or a robot, or a short middle aged skeevy pervert in a leisure suit who can't get girls, or an anthropomorphic earthworm thing, or a time cat, or whatever the fuck. But now if you're going to make a protagonist like that it seems to almost always be relegated to the indie games, and now its all generic white brown haired grizzled men, you know the deal. But I think most people think the problem is inherently that the generic white brown haired grizzled men characters are white, brown haired, grizzled men. It isn't. The most problematic thing on that list is 'generic'. Simply taking one of the many WBHGMs and making them black or a woman doesn't inherently make them more interesting. I'm not going to be more interested because you palette swapped your character. While sure, maybe a black guy is more refreshing to look at, but it's only because we've been starved of characters ASIDE from WBHGMs. If it was all black guys, it would be just as uninteresting. You need an actual unique approach to character design, and their personalities matter as well. Just making the next game protagonist Asian isn't going to make them the next great character. If not, remember Wei from Sleeping Dogs? How come he doesn't stick out in our minds as much as say, Manny Calavera does?
There needs to be a lot more than just a race or gender swap is what I'm getting at. Which unfortunately I feel isn't going to happen until another 1983 happens to the AAA industry.

According to steam, ONE server going offline for a few minutes means I don't get to have a conneciton to steam anymore. Guess valve doesn't want you to chat when every other fucking server is online.
I think it's very ironic that about three days or so ago I had got done with a nice neat little paragraph-ish post for this thread, but then my internet shit out, and when I lost it all I just said "fuck it", and never bothered to re-type it. Pretty lazy of me, yeah I'll admit, It wasn't even that long of a post; I still just think it's hilarious because it gave me a new thing to post instead of it, which I actually wonder if I'll ever end up re-typing it again.
[editline]5th March 2015[/editline]
Also, I have one last story to tell:
I sometimes wonder if I post too much on this thread, but this is something too hilariously stupid to miss out on telling, sooooo: Okay, I admit, I'm pretty fucking weird when it comes to what I eat for breakfast. Idgaf if it's something as stupid as steak, but I'll eat anything in the mornings basically. Well unless there's something specifically that makes me sick, like tacos; oh god that would ruin my stomach. That being said, we don't have breakfast foods at my place, so I eat regular food in the mornings. In the mornings I also don't have enough time to eat, my ride is always late ( if I wouldn't have been lazy I would have had my drivers license by now, RIP ), so yeah, I have to bring my super odd "breakfast" to school since my first period English teacher lets us eat in her room.
So anyways, every fucking day of my life, it's always " whatcha got for breakfast today, ______? " or " didn't bring anything to eat today? ". They literally will spend 10 minutes talking with me about my breakfast. As far as I know, the kids and teacher are just joking around because they think the same old joke is funny every single day of there lives, which is damn fine with me, I just wish they'd realize it reaaaally is getting old. Or it was anyways, now I play along, since I know they won't ever stfu about it, and I have started to make it a goal to bring the weirdest things in for breakfast, even if I won't eat it all. For example, In the past I have brought: A whole Totino's pizza on a plate. I'm not even joking man. Mozzarella sticks with salsa, a small bowl of pasta, and the rest is sorta normal-ish foods. Whenever I don't bring an "exciting" food, the teacher then replies that she wants something more crazy.
If anyone wants to suggest a crazy weird food to bring in for my next breakfast, that would be good holy shit. Also, I wonder how many people are actually crazy willing to read this whopper of a post.
Man does gamergate give me a bad taste in my mouth for the games industry in general. People talk about it more and more all the time but at this point I am kind of hoping for an industry crash. Though I think games are way too broad that they could entirely crash, it would be nice for a swift kick in the ass to the industry to happen. 2014 was a fucking awful, atrocious, slog of a year for gaming and I think it holds a record in memory for most disappointing and massively pathetic failures of the industry. Utterly generic games shat out on to our plates, utterly broken. Truly, Big Rigs was ahead of its time. Not to mention the tirade of shitty industry practices that serve entirely to inconvenience you and take a litt-ok, a LOT more money out of your wallet than the 60 dollars you're already giving for a game. I started 2015 optimistic, and how could I not be, with a slew of awesome titles on the horizon, but I'm getting cynical that 2015 isn't just going to be an overall disappointing repeat of 2014. The best we can do is wholly unsatisfying. It's not even about playing games and having fun anymore. It's all about pushing the tech that you don't have and getting called out for being a liar, it's all about finding out what the checklist of ways you're getting fucked in the ass by a developer if you buy their product is, it's all about no-names leeching on the games industry sucking it dry by parading around stupid fucking social issues for attention and money and ignoring and suppressing any evidence that shows that you're full of shit and don't speak for everyone, suggesting no improvement to your perceived issues because you lack the ability to be anything but negative, all while projecting an image of woe is me for I am harassed damsel in distress-ness. Games are the last thing gaming is about. And the games industry seems to be as tired of you as you are of it; how many journalism websites is it now have called everyone who plays games misogynistic racist assholes? Perhaps no finer example of biting the hand that feeds, but whatever. Honestly, I'm not even buying AAA games much at all anymore. I think the last big game I got was Dark Souls II, and since then it's mostly been playing indie games, a couple gems and games from the days before things were this fucking atrocious. Games like KotOR, Arcanum, Fallout 1/2, Morrowind, Oblivion, Saint's Row 2, and so on. Because hey, at least back in the day I didn't have to have a constant connection to the internet to play fucking Morrowind, and Fallout 1 looked like they fucking showed you how Fallout 1 would look.

I mean, if it's the server that you're on it's a valid thing to say because your connection to Steam is gone, however Steam could obviously try connection to other servers under a certain latency if you lose your connection but that's probably never going to happen.

My fucking coworker got a complaint about her phone because she doesn't keep it on vibration and it keeps making noises because she ALWAYS texts or make phone calls on the job. After getting the complaint, she was asking around for who did the complaint, like it's not a right thing to do
