  • Their fault. I remember a time when publishers allowed for people to run their own dedicated servers, for FPS at least. They could have modified that existing model, but instead they took that ability away from the user whilst almost simultaneously making excuses about the problem they created.

    If their servers can’t run forever, give us dedicated servers on a larger scale FFS!





  • Once when we were studying in biology class, when I was maybe 14 or 15, the teacher leaves the room and comes back with this sort of telly on the wheelie stand thing; he was trying to surprise us with an educational distraction from textbooks and, it was good on paper.

    He must have forgotten to rewind the VHS or something, of a nature documentary, and the entire class got an immediate scene of two wildebeast trying to repopulate the Savannah by themselves.

    I mean it did work, since it was a great distraction whilst he frantically Goku punched the Stop button as fast as he could, before pressing rewind.




  • Every so often I tell my pets, who are no longer with us, that I still love them and always will.

    One of my cats had two little plush toys she loved cuddling with. She was cremated with one, and I keep the other on my desk - it’s a nice reminder to just how awesome she was.

    On my very sad days I just try to remember that they wouldn’t want me to be sad. They would do everything in their power to make me feel better when I was feeling low, and the thought that my dishevelled state would cause them such grief if they were here is enough to make me have a better perspective.
    It is okay to cry when it’s needed too, though.








  • I mean, the rich drug dealers you know are rich from dealing, aren’t the ones to have that lifestyle long term.

    The sensible and rich drug dealers are the ones you wouldn’t know about. Quite a few of them are landlords here in the UK (I can’t provide numbers, just a what I know thing so I won’t be offended if no one believes it - these are just my ramblings, officer).
    Basically just sensible ways to turn black market income into seemingly legitimate income, through either self-employed businesses or other means.

    They’ll have seemingly regular jobs, and will do their best to appear legitimate to not raise any red flags. You’d be very surprised at who the most successful drug dealers are, however chances are you’ll never know as well.


  • I was on a school trip to a hotel, and was handed some dragon fruit. They didn’t tell me how to eat it, so I bit right into it. Took out a big chunk and wanting to try something new I kept chewing it.

    The man had a look of what was a mix between horror and surprise on his face and told me to spit it out.

    Not really a plate but I was handed something with inedible parts and no instructions. Similar I suppose?
