And a happy shitpost
 

 

Never tell me I have no self control.
 

I can't tell if I want this or if I just want to watch other people play it.

I am a professional artist guys.

 
 

Samsung Galaxy J5. Which is just a tiiiiiny bit longer than a Galaxy S5.
Which is absolutely ridiculous.

Collector's edition. Apparently it either didn't sell well in the Netherlands, or we got an inordinate amount of them shipped to us.

Wow. The bots are desperate tonight; at least 16 pages worth of love specialists.

Obviously we've progressed past the honeymoon stage with our voodoo enslaved girlfriends and now need escorts for variety to satisfy our manly desires.
 
Apparently the profile the spammers have of us is Lifetime Original Movie Antagonist.

Don't know how many of you have seen this yet, but this is a fantastic read:

To top it all off, here's a tweet from the VA of Jar Jar:
 

Dual core won't run fallout.
I personally pay more attention to number of reviews than specific brands. I've seen ASUS, biostar, and gigabyte motherboards all go through good and bad cycles.
 
Ooo, rebranded OCZ 240gig SSD for $70 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820228119
SSD prices are getting down there.
 
 
Unrelated: I Was Right! One of the spammers was advertising "childless solutions". Didn't bother finding out if it was black market adoption or black magic impregnation spells.
And for my next prediction, 6 months from now we'll see offers to buy brainwashed slave nannies.

The server was down most all day yesterday. Because my internet was totally down. (It's back up now though.)
ISP hell-raising in progress.

Hah, my work email just got spam for a "Design your own Cheap Ugg Boots" place. Apparently this place is following me.
 
 
In other news, I have an amd R7 370 4gig card on the way and fallout 4 preordered. Next tuesday is gonna be a good day.

they reached the first boss? last time I looked they got stuck in that pool of water the whole time

Success!

Alright guys, the Official Kitty Jail Tekkit Legends server is officially OPEN.
Rules: Be cool. Don't grief, steal, etc. I neither want nor expect to have to make some exhaustive list of rules. 
The server address is:  spence.mooo.com
(No, that's not my name, I just borrowed the address.)
Things to note:
I have left mobgriefing enabled, but I, (or an op), will compensate/refund you if exessssssive damages are caused by this, (IE: creeper in your machine room.) All chunk-loading is enabled, but please keep it reasonable, as the server isn't super duper powerful. Please no more than one or two chunkloading devices per person. PvP is enabled. The server difficulty is set to Normal. The server should be on 24/7, but if anything happens to it, let me know either here or on Steam, and I'll fix it ASAP. I have made a few custom config file tweaks, the significant ones are listed below:
 
 
Enjoy!
 

hello old people
i am an old man who doesnt come around that often anymore

...normal attractive people...
Just remove it.
 

Yeah. I'm spying people for new modpacks...
Looks like it's fixed.
 
People keep saying that I'm always not happy, one of my (modpack maker) friends told me I should use this as my avatar on all the possible sites :/

"We've decided on an entirely new exciting direction for Tekkit, and as a result, Tekkit will no longer feature Thermal Expansion, Project Red, Calclavia Core, Buildcraft, Galcticraft, qCraft, Carpenter's Blocks, Applied Energistics, Mystcraft, or Steve's Carts. In order to focus on this new revolutionary direction, going forward, Tekkit will exclusively contain Magic-focused, Gun-focused, and Sword Art Online-themed mods."
Yeah guys, that's what's going to...
Wait, Forestry? Railcraft?
Somehow that's even weirder.
Pffft, "Explosive History" you guys kill me.

Me neither

So here's a question, why don't we make ethanol out of grass?
Tons of people already grow it, (some take care of it better than their own car), and then throw away all of their clippings. You could offer a free grass clipping removal service, and I'm sure tons of people would happily give you their clippings. You'd take some of the pressure off of corn prices too.
Plus, it comes with it's own built-in marketing shtick. You could call it...
grassoline.
(No, I'm not actually serious, I just wanted to make that joke.)

Technically, it's not a requirement, but with an Nvidia card, I can get apparently get something like 20-30% more oomph out of the limited bandwidth with their Optimus compression. If AMD had something similar, I'd get a 380 in a heartbeat.
But yeah, at some point in the future, I'll probably end up building a desktop and slapping that in it. I can re-use 3/4 of the parts that will go into the eGPU in a desktop, and I can probably sell the last one for a reasonable amount.
I think what I'll do is wait and see if I can get in on that Microcenter $230 GTX 980 crazyness if they do it again; failing that, I'll try and grab a 970 on a good sale come cyber monday. Or a 960 if there's a really good sale.

I decided to give it a go a while ago when I learned how easy they made it to revert. So far it's not *amazing*, but it's not terrible either. The dongle I bought to use with wireless Xbox 360 controllers doesn't work currently, but I suspect a driver re-install will fix that.
If you don't like the data collection that MS is doing, in addition to tuning all the privacy-related settings, you can add these entries to your hosts file to curb it. (The file is found in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Remember to remove the read-only attribute before you try to edit it.)
And yes, these will probably break Cortana, but if you were going to go as far as editing your hosts file, you probably weren't going to use her anyways. I haven't had any issues after adding these, but your milage may vary, I am not responsable, blah blah blah, etc.
 
EDIT: This hidden dark theme tweak is also nice, makes it a little easier on the eyes.

Melfice, just leave the politically incorrect jokes to us dirty old men. 
Or two healthy women and 2 of those women from total recall.

In the grim darkness of the far future, when Humanity has to send an entire planetary colonization fleet just to find five women...
