This is a little too coincidental…
This morning I woke up with sinus infection and my pack decided to self destruct…
Either I’m in the matrix or I’m gonna need some thoughts, likes, and prayers ASAP… Trying to find another one online quickly before my time runs out!

If you like ginger beer, Bundaberg is pretty damn good if you can find it. Costco used to carry it, but I haven’t looked lately.
If you want super strong, Fever-Tree was actually too much for me.

- Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY! 4 days ago:
They’ve been a shit company for over a decade at least.
I got a laptop for my wife back when we were in college. It developed a problem with the monitor where the screen would look all corrupt after using it for a little bit. My wife, while reciting the prayer of percussive maintenance, would whack it and the problem would go away for a while. So I figured the connection had come loose. No biggie, just reseat it or replace it. The warranty had expired, so I cracked it open to see what was wrong. I reseated the cables in it and it worked… for a bit. Then the problem came back. Eventually we got fed up and bought another one, same model, figuring it was a fluke… It developed the same issue. Come to find out, Asus cheaped out in the ribbon cable for the monitor and installed ones that were too short for the laptop. Looking online, there were a bunch of people complaining about the same thing. The second one was bought used, so obviously there was no warranty.
Around the same time as I had gotten her the new laptop, I’d also bought an Asus ZenPad for her to read on. We’ll, that suddenly developed a screen issue too! Almost exactly the same as the laptops! My wife, ever eager to apply kinetic reinforcement, found that twisting the tablet a little bit also fixed the issue. I went online and, sure enough, Asus used cheap cables again! They would last just long enough for the warranty to expire before they’d detach.
Fuck these scammers.

Citing it as “an injustice to domestic publishers”, Vietnamese studios reportedly say that local game development “will die” if Steam is able to keep releasing games without the same government scrutiny as domestic games…
Yeah! It’s so unfair that one person can put their heart and soul into making a game on their own, self publish, and be successful! No way anyone else could possibly do that!

The specific design of the shapes is trademarked. Drawing circles and squares is fine. Using those specific shapes in a game meant for use with a Playstation controller falls under fair use. Otherwise using them in any way that it would seem like Sony would be involved, not so much.

I love it! Tried to find you an audio file or even a copy of the music playing in the background. I’m at work though and searching UFOPorno on the company network is a little frowned upon…

They’ve gone out to forage for dorito and cheeto dust. Sprinkle some back in the computer and they’ll return! You have to keep them properly fed or they’ll leave! Don’t forget to leave a cap of Baja Blast in there every other week too!

It also actually makes it significantly easier to find someone when their user name happens to be the same as 5000 other people.

Horror Express with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, which I’ve never seen. William F Nolin, who did Logan’s Run, wrote a version, but it was never filmed. Couldn’t really find any others, but I’m sure there are.
I also just found out tonight that there’s a fan film called The Thing Returns that looks so terrible I have to see it.
Also, there’s The Thing video game for PS2, Xbox, and Windows. Carpenter apparently considers it to be a canon sequel and the events in it clarify what happens at the end of the first movie.

The original, “The Thing From Another World,” is a truly terrible B-movie classic worthy of MST3K! Totally worth watching to see the masterpiece they turned the story into. The Mary Elizabeth Winstead one, same name, different movie, wasn’t too bad either.

Funny that yesterday I was actually thinking about cleaning out my desk’s junk drawer… I know there’s stuff that’s been in there for 10 years… I’ve transitioned most of my devices to USB C. There’s a lot of crap I know I don’t need and haven’t used in years.
Help!

God, I can’t make it through the whole thing. Listening to him blathering on and on causes me actual physical discomfort.
I sincerely don’t get how anyone listens to his rambling tripe and is like, “This guy totally gets it!”

I think everyone owes it to themselves to experience it. One of my best friends waited until a couple years ago to finally see it. She was terrified, but still thinks Fizzgig is one of the most adorable things ever. Which he is. How can you not love this face?
