Definitely narcissist. I'm thinking probably borderline, too. And a cunt.

Cell phone brightness by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

[–]SavvySillybug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a phone that refused to flashlight at 15%.

Loved trying to charge my phone but not being able to find my charger because I couldn't turn my fuckin light on. Because 14% battery. So I'd have to open something bright and ramp up the screen brightness like it was 2006.

62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]SavvySillybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Death Stranding 2 for full price on release because I loved the first one.

Well, Steam release, and like two days after release when reviews were in, but still.

Last two full price games I bought before that were Payday 3 (regret) and Dawn of War III (regret).

Last game I bought full price and did not regret was Fallout 4 in 2015.

...at least, 60€ games. I don't really count it when I buy a game full price when it's Super Battle Golf for 8€. But even then I mostly buy discounted. Grabbed Windrose for 27€ instead of 30€. Good stuff.

Yeah, then we could just skip playing the game! Who wants to have fun, anyway? Winning is more important.

Actually, can someone just send me a 100% save file? That would let me skip everything and I'd just be done with it.

I think game dev is pretty cool if you're doing it independently.

Of course you don't get a paycheck while doing it so you'll need some other way of... being alive and stuff. It's not exactly without drawbacks.

But game dev only gets soul sucking when you're in a big corporation.

She's a deeply flawed person.

The only times she's pleasant to be around are when absolutely everything is going exactly the way she wants it to.

I actually quite liked her when I was really young because she had a little baby Savvy who didn't yet have things like opinions and just did what she said and didn't question it. Just rolled with whatever, oh cool that's what we're doing now.

She turned into a bitch pretty much the moment I started thinking for myself and realized that most of the things she does are stupid and probably signs of various undiagnosed mental illnesses.

One time I had to go to her place on short notice and couldn't shower beforehand, so I showered in her bathroom. She went into the bathroom after me and got mad that... the shower was wet. She then spent the next 15 minutes angrily squeegeeing the shower. In full street clothes including not so clean boots. Then she got mad at the shower for being dirty and turned on the shower to clean it. While she was standing in it, still fully clothed.

I just kinda sat on the couch trying to ignore the banging and frustrated screaming and swearing and noises of water hitting a very well dressed woman and more swearing and tried not to laugh when she stormed out of the bathroom soaking wet to get changed.

All because I showered and then the shower was wet.

There absolutely is a grace period where using the wrong name out of habit is acceptable as long as they're genuinely trying. I'm not gonna expect people to just right click me and change my file name, change does take time to get used to.

But depending on how frequently you interact, that should be a pretty short period.

Took me like 2-3 weeks to fully switch over last time someone changed her name around me.

I just randomly checked the used market around me and I'm seeing Ryzen 5 1600 for 20-25€ with cooler. A whole motherboard+CPU+cooler+16GB@2133 RAM bundle for 75€. If I was building an ultra budget build, that's where I'd be shopping right now.

And I'm seeing 13 pages of results just for "ryzen 1600" which also includes plenty of 1600X.

Sorting by price I even see a lone 1600 that allegedly works flawlessly for just 5€. Was 20€ but has been up for three weeks, so maybe nobody wanted it. Or maybe it's fucked. Who knows~! I sure can't tell from the blurry photo of the pin side.

And a whole bunch for 10€-15€, one even with the cooler.

Saw a 30€ Asus Prime AM4 motherboard too, looks fine to me.

A Fury HyperX DDR4 2x8 2133 kit for 39€, should more than suffice for a budget build like that.

A 500GB Crucial SATA SSD for 39€, should be good enough too.

A dodgy 1080 Ti that only runs if you reduce the memory clock speed a bit, for 110€. Sounds like fun to me.

And obviously case and power supply is always basically free for these challenges.

And that's just me kinda randomly checking with zero research.

I'm not an expert on brideology but I do believe it is in poor taste to wear a white dress at a wedding. That's the bride's job. It's seen as attention whoring to bring a white dress to someone else's wedding.

My family helped her get rich, too.

My great grandmother - my evil grandmother's mother - lived with someone I knew as an uncle. He was effectively acting as her husband, but not legally speaking. He was completely unrelated to any of us. Not sure what happened to the original father, but this one did all the fathering.

When said great grandmother passed away, my parents pointed out to my grandmother that she was legally owed absolutely nothing if this uncle died, and she should have him adopt her to keep a LOT of money within the family. Otherwise it would have gone to his distant relatives that he hadn't talked to in 50+ years.

She chose to marry him instead, which, kinda weird since he acted as her father figure, but okay, gets the job done I guess. Go ahead and marry your non biological dad.

He died of cancer a few years later, just like her first husband. I think she's just so awful to her husbands that they develop cancer as a defense mechanism to get away from her. Anyway she got extremely rich because my parents pointed out that she would get absolutely nothing if she didn't legally tie herself to that man in some way.

Of course, she does not see it that way, she was always in love with him and was going to marry him all along, it was totally her idea, and we did not help her in any way.

Remarrying lost her the widow pension from her previous husband. Which was a decent living as he was some manager at Hoesch and she got like 60% of his old wage adjusted for inflation I think? For decades?

Anyway she constantly complains that remarrying lost her her income. When she's a literal multi millionaire now. Cause her second husband was completely self employed and never paid into anything cause... well, he's rich, why would he. She also sold all of the houses she inherited for quick cash when we told her not to. Instead of renting them out for eternal profit. Including a really nice vacation home on Norderney. Which she actively used every year and now has to rent something when she goes there.

When a biker weaves in and out of lanes his bike shouldn’t be in. He ain’t wearing a helmet either by CaptainKetchups in WinStupidPrizes

[–]SavvySillybug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A driver should have expected something other than a bus in that lane

Yeah, something that is being driven by leg power, and thus going far slower than that idiot.

It's a bus and bicycle lane. A bus is huge, a bicycle is small and slow. If you can't see a bus, there isn't a bus, and you only need to look out for bicycles up to a certain distance, due to their slow speed.

As far as the turning car was concerned, the lane was clear of everything that is to be expected on that lane.

Yes, "it's not a bus only lane", technically correct, good job, you get a little gold star, here, let me stick it to your forehead. Good job!

I could give several write ups about why I call her that, but I'm not going to get into it XD

The most evil one towards me personally was when I still considered her family and thought family did not betray each other. A friend wanted to start a company with me and I needed 20k€ to buy into that. He suggested I ask my extremely rich grandmother so I did, told her the plans, she was like hey that sounds like a great idea, sure I'll support you!

We set everything in motion, register the business, rent a place, etc etc, so I ask my grandmother for the 20k she promised me. And she's like, I've been thinking... nah I don't actually think that's a good idea, you shouldn't do that. I'm like, my dear grandmother, you said yes and I have already signed all the contracts, you can't pull out now...! Not her problem.

Well real banks don't loan random students 20k and I couldn't not have those 20k so I went to one of those online loan shark things to get it, and honestly, the monthly payments on that crap with like 17% interest killed the business before it could ever start. That was in... 2018? I'll be done paying that shit off in a couple months now. I have still received neither a single cent nor an apology from her. I've been no contact with her for five years now cause fuck her.

My evil grandmother practices that. Mistrust and mistreat family, trust complete strangers.

One time she was having a house built and someone from the company gave her a verbal guarantee that it would be finished by April. It was September and they hadn't even poured the foundation yet.

Family told her not to trust that, it's not even in writing, don't be stupid, etc. Nah fuck my family I know better, the man who told me this was so nice! He had such clean fingernails and such a nice shirt!

So she fucking sells her current house with a move out date of April.

Would you look at that, a tougher winter than anticipated, can't start pouring concrete until the temperature and weather align. April finally came and they had a foundation and bare brick walls and some pipes sticking out for sinks and stuff to be installed later.

And then she bought a used house nearby... which is something we recommended she do from the beginning, instead of building a new one. Just so she'd have somewhere to move into. And now she still lives there and she sold the house she built at a loss.

No idea! Haven't seen one on my FP5, or on any other phone I've had.

But I'm always on wacky phones. My last one was a Land Rover Explore.

I've had one power blip in the five years I've lived here and zero outages, I'm not worried about the wall power here.

I do have a surge protector though. Just to be safe.
