  • Hmm...
    Not sure if very well written troll.
  • If it was, then I salute them. But then again, it might not be...
  • So I spent pretty much the entire weekend on this WIP scene from a podcast drama I'm toying with the idea of.



    I probably shouldn't have started with a loud action scene but it was one I could easily use text-to-speech for and avoid either voice acting or soliciting for voice actors.

    Needs a lot of work, notably, another character to respond to the stuff going on and freak out about it. This just doesn't feel like two days worth of work. At all. Meh.
  • Steam games were randomly minimizing, turns out it was Samsung's SSD monitor software was causing it.
  • I guess today is the big day for the Phonebloks Thunderclap thing, so my social media feeds are full of this awful idea.
  • I just got dumped by my RPG group. I only got one session, and it wasn't even the main campaign.
  • Reddit told me I can't post comments too much, even though I just posted my first comment ever.
  • I tried to dye my hair dark blue, but it came out a teal. Oh well, I'm still fierce.
  • I would like to see that to see if teal and orange works in real life (Human skin tone being a kind of orange.).

    You could probably do it yourself by using Photoshop to alter a picture of yourself make your skin orange and your hair teal.

    Add teal hair =

    They have no real power, but they have opinions they intend to voice and annoy me to no end.

    Good set of headphones and loud music mate.
  • Tell them you want to be married before you get a house.

    Block phone numbers.

    I have actually had to go as far as threatening to do that to get my mother to back off. It was preceded by a pattern of hanging up and/or cutting off her conversations, to indicate that her line of questioning was unwelcome (and of course, that was always preceded by "Mom, that's none of your business" or "I don't want to talk to you about this.").

    Sometimes, you just have to be aggressive about it. Set boundaries and enforce them. Be prepared to make a parent cry in your defense of that boundary.

    Yep. This. Have done before, would do again. Had to do this with my mom over her giving me tons and tons of random crap as gifts. We are talking boxes full of mailed free samples, stuffed animals, and trinkets from the thrift store. She took it very personally but got over it eventually.
  • It's not that extreme yet. I'm just gonna ignore it for a while.
  • Losing internet connection ever 15 - 20 minutes for 2 - 5 minutes.

    Can't play any multiplayer games, can't stream any media.

    I'm having the exact same problem, as well as several offices in my company, all in Florida.

    Oddly enough, I can't find anything about a general internet outage on twitter.
  • Same thing was happening to me yesterday. Haven't been online long enough to test it today. I blame solar flares.
  • It was happening to us late last week and early this week on U-Verse in Connecticut. Constant intermittent drops in connectivity.

    Did not notice anything yesterday here on the VA side of the DC region.

  • I'm not even in the US.

    Could it possibly be server side problems?

    I ran 2 different malware and anti virus programs to double check my machine is clean but it is occurring on my phone and HTPC simultaneously.
  • That was a fairly common occurrence when I was living in a house with Time Warner Cable. (The only people with a similar approval rate/customer retention rate to Congress!)
  • Congress actually has a great customer retention rate :P
  • This is one of the funnier things I've seen in a while
