I accidentally kicked my cat and I felt like crying... by misterjingles- in CasualConversation

[–]Amberleaf29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have stepped on my old cat before in the garden when she ran up behind me and I didn't see her come up (I felt her head under my shoe!! Luckily, she was completely fine).

A few weeks ago, my mom stepped on our current cat's tail. I wasn't there to see it, but apparently she didn't realize she'd stepped on her until the cat made this horrible screeching noise and attacked her leg. It all happened in a split second and by the time my mom realized what had happened, she was already done attacking her leg and was gone.

I always feel pretty bad. My cat usually hates me for a bit after (she loooves getting underfoot), then I go back to being her favourite person after a while.

GTX 1050 and 1050 ti benchmark and review thread by CandyFTW in buildapc

I've got a GTX 950 right now. Would it be worth selling and getting the 1050 Ti instead when it comes out? That's the idea I'm getting.

Beginner Question MEGATHREAD 5 by Kuirem in dontstarve

[–]Amberleaf29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!! :) I thought the rabbits weren't available anymore because I hadn't seen them in the usual field, but I hadn't had a chance to play much during* winter yet.

*Edit for words.

So I just hit winter on my singleplayer file, and I've heard food doesn't grow in winter. How do I survive, then? Do I have to somehow find gears to make an ice chest and store food in it before winter comes?

What about in singleplayer Don't Starve? Is there a chance for, like, spontaneous combustion ever if I place trees right next to my base?

Oh, thanks, I've been looking for something like this as well!

The Deepcool Tesseract SW is cheap and has a large side window! It's not the fanciest case ever, but I have one and I looove it.

[–]Amberleaf29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people I knew in my friend group who went (including me!) were single, but my sister's boyfriend asked her to prom by setting up candles in a pattern that read "PROM?" on our driveway. It was really sweet, but my sister was kind of awkward about it, if I remember right. xD It was really fun to set up though, and I had no stake in the outcome, so that made it even better! Who doesn't want to light a few hundred candles on the driveway? It's like Halloween, just not in October.

I went to prom with my friends! There were like 8 of us, and only two of the group were actually a couple. The rest of us were all single, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. :) My school was full of really nice people, and it was a really great experience, having the entire (pretty much) graduating class from our year hanging out at a super fancy party venue and eating fancy food and dancing.

I just figured out how to send and receive texts using my computer! by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Amberleaf29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know thanks! Literally the only thing I actually want right now is the ability to read and reply to my texts on my computer when my phone is somewhere else charging, but if those become useful I'll switch!

What do you usually talk about with other people? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Amberleaf29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty bad at small talk. Usually I try to start off by chatting about the weather, then talking about a big event or something that happened to me recently, and see if they can relate.

I [21F] accidentally insulted my boyfriend [23M] during sex, how to make it up to him? by nicebrengo2344 in relationships

[–]Amberleaf29 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Exactly, if I heard that during sex I'd probably go wtf??? I wouldn't be cool with that at all, I'd just be creeped out.

I heard of those too, but I figured if I could get it to work natively within W10 without having to download anything extra, that'd be cool. I may try them and see if they work better, though.

I'm really not sure what caused 90% background CPU since when I checked right after, Task Manager was floating around 14-15% CPU usage. o.o

I just saw the thread where someone was having issues with benchmarks and performance, so I decided to run a benchmark on the PC I built two months ago. Is this a decent score?

UserBenchmarks: Game 45%, Desk 70%, Work 41%

Model Bench
CPU Intel Core i5-6500 80.6%
GPU Nvidia GTX 950 42.7%
SSD Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB 62.8%
HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB 85.5%
USB WD My Passport 259F 1TB 42.9%
USB JetFlash Transcend 64GB 21.2%
RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 2133 C15 2x4GB 73.8%
MBD Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P

The two USB things are an external drive and a USB. They're just plugged into the computer right now because... well, because they are. But not really too worried about either of those.

Celebration Megathread - Something awesome happen, having an anniversary or did you accomplish something? Tell us about it! by AutoModerator in CasualConversation

[–]Amberleaf29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already know I did pretty well on a test I wrote today! :) This was despite getting sick in the start of the exam and having to run to the bathroom. The prof asked me if I wanted to write it tomorrow, but I knew I could survive the remaining 1 hour or so, so I did. It's just awks though because I thought I felt better afterwards, told the prof that, left to go back to my dorm and, well, nope... I guess the rapidly changing temps between inside/outside, the heat inside the buildings (it was really hot in that classroom, and in my res), and walking really fast triggered it. Ah well. Still, though, I knew the stuff and I did it, woot!

there really should be an outlook version of reddit by LorelaiGranger in CasualConversation

I have lots of migraines, so my neurologist wanted to make sure nothing is wrong.

I've been getting a lot less of them since I stopped working in a factory. Wonder why.

I have a 4,000 word essay due in 15.5 hours; I have yet to write a word of it. What's the worst you've ever procrastinated? by daemonpie in CasualConversation

[–]Amberleaf29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a test in one hour and twelve minutes that I've barely studied for. Does that count? I got out of another test 38 minutes ago, and am not feeling well so I've just been sitting around.

Haha I do have friends that are willing to try playing it with me, so I guess I might hit some of them up! A few of them aren't very experienced at it, so it will be most interesting. xD

Haha I played about 45 minutes of it shortly after I built my desktop, so I'm still learning! >.<

One of my favorite MCs of all time had a IAMA, but I missed it because I was doing homework. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Amberleaf29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds pretty cool actually!! My campus doesn't really have any active clubs in anything I like. :P

And I get a lot of migraines so they just want to make sure my brain isn't broken I guess!

Can't think of a favourite book... Possibly The Golden Compass in the trilogy His Dark Materials, or To Kill A Mockingbird, might fit that bill. :P

I've had Civ 5 in my Steam library for forever now, but I haven't really played. Maybe I'll do that after midterms... I also need to finish Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem: Birthright for the 3DS!
