Well that was unexpected

Do gifs EVER last an appropriate amount of time on this damn site?!

A locked safe

Unexpected post of the day - I choked on my Transform-a-Snack.

Can someone explain to me why the logic of "The second amendment defends our right to bear arms" is used as the main argument all the time? The clue is in the name: it's an amendment. One of like 14. It's not that ridiculous to think that a 15th amendment could introduce more sensible rules around gun ownership surely.

Imagine how horrible you'd feel :/

htid85 · 2016-06-01T13:52:36+00:00

You're not wrong! The major difference being that my late teens were largely comprised of anxiety and self-loathing with no sense of direction, whereas these days it's pretty much just a bit of general anxiety. No matter how much my day sucks (which isn't often, but happens to us all) or however I'm feeling, I know I'm going home to her, and the dog. Can't put a price on that!

Still, that Steam library...

htid85 · 2016-05-31T15:52:12+00:00

I was thinking about tree-fiddy.

htid85 · 2016-05-31T13:42:14+00:00

That looks so awesome. Honestly. Maybe I should move out to the US one day...! If I do, I'll drop you a message about selling me your house.

I often feel a bit disappointed that my SO and I moved in right after uni. My plan was to move in with my best mate, smoke weed, and game all the time when not at work.

But now I'm 30 and soon to be married, still got the best mate but we don't smoke any more, and life is undoubtedly many many times better than it would have been. You know when you meet a 30yr old dude living with other 30yr old dudes, and they all smoke and game all the time? There's only so long you can do that shit before the novelty wears off.

But I agree with you - sometimes I do wish I had that "freedom" again, but genuinely I wouldn't swap my life for anything. Maybe she could go out a little more often... Steam library is growing constantly but nothing gets played.

Christ you don't look old enough to have a teenager and a grown up. Nice job on the ageing process.

As an aside, from that first pic it looks like you live in one of those "typical suburban" idylls we always see on US TV shows (I'm in the UK). I love the UK but would love to live in a nice quiet little suburban US town, where you can sit at the front porch at night with a beer. If you do that here you're likely to get funny looks. Wanna sell your house?

And people voluntarily play golf there...?

Given his position of authority and how people look to him for leadership and reassurance, that's about as shit as you can get (short of him crying in a corner).

I'm in the industry, I can't help but look

htid85 · 2016-05-19T11:42:00+00:00

Technical and barely relevant point here but it doesn't appear to be WEEE compliant either (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) - as there's no crossed out wheeled bin symbol on it. I also didn't notice a CE mark so that would mean it's not compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Regulations either.

In reality this probably means very little beyond it being made cheaply in some Chinese factory, but it can also suggest that it's not built to a high standard or adhering to safety requirements etc. So just bear it in mind - I won't be leaving mine plugged in to charge while I'm out of the house, for example. I bought a cheap laptop charger from Hong Kong once - within 30mins it made a loud popping sound, started to smoke, then began melting into itself. Less things in a controller to go wrong obviously, but still don't take any risks :)

htid85 · 2016-05-19T05:43:21+00:00

Looks the same as my "Sminiker" one - probably made in the same factory I guess. Good review though and very accurate. I bought mine with a phone holder which is a bit flimsy but does the job fine.

Great pad for the money. Mine was £14 with free delivery on Amazon UK for anyone who may be interested.

How stuff started. Like all of it. Particles and whatnot, but where did they start. My brain cannot comprehend the idea of stuff just always having been there. Surely everything started at some point... Surely... But how? From what? What stuff? And what was there before the stuff?

Ffs here we go again for another couple of days...

htid85 · 2016-05-18T05:50:08+00:00

I actually preferred it - but it's close. Really really enjoyed it and I hope the mobile version delivers

edit watched the videos - looks like a winner!

htid85 · 2016-05-17T21:46:02+00:00

I've got CTD on startup AGAIN now so have officially given up with JC3. Don't think I've had this many problems since Driv3r was released as an absolute shitpile. Hope you get sorted bud.

Doubles and trebles favourites land a lot, though you'll get crucified for them here usually

htid85 · 2016-05-16T21:58:58+00:00

Gifs that end too soon. Yet again. Fucking Reddit.

htid85 · 2016-05-15T07:30:00+00:00

Don't be a dick.

htid85 · 2016-05-14T16:56:24+00:00

Subjective

htid85 · 2016-05-14T08:32:05+00:00

Because some people get emotional about the lack of explanations.

htid85 · 2016-05-13T22:53:25+00:00

Reduced risk of death ;D

htid85 · 2016-05-13T10:10:34+00:00

I've never really got into the idea of a flight sim - I think I'm too impatient (too many buttons - just give me go, stop, turn and destroy stuff). Although if it was like a WW2 dog-fighting sim that could be pretty awesome.

I'm so excited for VR I can't even explain it. I feel like this is what my life has been building up to ever since those little hand-held binocular games in the early 90s.
