Running fine on my C64. Get a real computer.

I'm not a fan of this yank-style clapping for every cunt and occasion. Once for the NHS was alright as a novelty, should've been left at that.

My xbox is gratuitously loud too. I've gone off consoles entirely mostly because of that. My PC is in quite a large case with excellent ventilation and massive fans. Even with all the fans running at max, I can't hear it over the TV as they're so big. Contrast to the tiny, whiny console fans and it's worth the effort.

It's a GTX 980. I've redone the thermal paste recently which did drop temps by 5C or so, but even then with case fans doing their thing (proper airflow in a decent case) the GPU just gets too fucking hot when I'm playing newer games. I should've changed the cooler on it years ago but it's so close to obsolete now I just get angry at it instead. It's an i5 4690K system, the whole thing is getting pretty long in the tooth. Been eyeing up those Rizens, it's nice there's some competition again.

>>23500
I was forced to upgrade from a 4670k to a 3700x as my motherboard died. AMD have smashed it out of the park with Zen 2, even their new mobile chips are threatening Intel's dominance which is fucking astonishing given where AMD have been for at least a decade.

FF7 Remake is everything I have ever dreamed it would be.

>>23456
Beneath a Steel Sky is hilarious and well worth a playthrough. Some of the dialog is brilliant, though the accents on the voice acting can be a little distracting at times. Can't say anything for the other games.

The amount of incest plants get up to is terrifying. They're all filthy wrong 'uns, and people just invite them into their gardens where they let their kids play.

How the fuck do you design a kettle that vents steam onto the handle area? How did this happen, you useless pricks?

>>29772 I'm not calling you a prick, but... I once had a kettle that my prick housemate would take the lid off completely unnecessarily, and if it wasn't put back on properly, it'd both vent steam over the handle, and not blow steam over the turny-offy-thermostat.
It was obviously a shit design to allow this, but my housemate was an utter prick for doing it every pigfucking time he used it.

>>29773
Mine has the lid attached on a hinge, so I couldn't engage in such swinebuggery even if I was so inclined.

Blue LED in my Q key has died, so I've had to trick it into displaying as near to white as possible by modifying it to a specific shade of lilac that still looks white enough to match the rest of the keys which are set to a very light yellow.

Not that I ever use the fancy RGB effects, and in fact by modifying it this way I've got closer to a true white than it was before, which was far too blue; but still. I know it's there. I know it's not perfect any more. And I'll always hate that Q key for it.

Also the iron halo had snapped off my terminator captain when I came to paint him. Can't find the fucker anywhere. Had to order a new one off ebay for a whole tenner.

Bastard. Why can't I ever have nice things.

Some people look old before their time. Maggie Smith doesn't appear to have aged much in the past thirty years because she could have passed for being in her seventies when she was in her fifties.

But isn't Liverpool full of scousers? That sounds unbearable to look at or listen to or be with.

>>3542
They do insist on talking to each other on the bus, it's true. If you're used to the gaze-avoidance and inviolable Do Not Disturb of the tube then it can take a bit of getting used to.

>>3542

They're an acquired taste. Scousers are aggressively friendly, which only sounds like an oxymoron if you've never spent time in Liverpool.

>>3541

>night out

There won't be any of those for a good long while.

>>3542
Have a day out in Chester. It'll give you a mild taste of scousers without actually having to go to Liverpool.

Comrades, in our hour of need, come on!

I'm really digging Negativeland right now. Kind of like a musical sound collage (thanks wikipedia!). This one inparticular seems to be about climate change, but the general tone of most which i've heard lend themselves well to our current situation. Maybe it's just me.

Give it another month after we get to Anne Widdecombe and maybe someone will want to shag me.

>>89414
Young Ann Widdecombe has a sexy Martha Argerich vibe about her. Isn't she still a virgin before god or something? It doesn't rule out ritual and being shielded by Baphomet's grace and her being thumbed through like the Xmas Radio Times, candles snuffed to avoid human witness.

>Corbyn and his cronies had ages to line up a successor but their rank incompetency meant they ended up with the human potato that is Rebecca Long-Bailey.
There's not really anyone from any faction in the Labour party who's up to the task in fairness. If they couldn't dig up a future prime minister under Blair/Brown/Miliband, there was little reason to suspect the talent vacuum would end under Corbyn.
Honestly, I wish mandatory re-selection had become policy for this reason - some incumbent MPs would be booted out and hopefully sheer random chance would eventually deliver Labour a future prime minister. Sure, it's sad that some excellent social workers of last resort with ten years of parliamentary experience under their belts and who're remarkably nice people if you ever meet them in person event would lose their jobs due to the votes of weirdos who joined for 50p on the Thursday before the vote, but it seems like a risk worth taking.
Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe Starmer is a premier in waiting, a prime minister of the dull Clement Attlee sort who nobody really took too seriously before the big national crisis. It would certainly justify my decision to have voted for him.

this is a popular misconception, but big dick energy is not a term to describe someone with an actual big dick. that's just someone with a big dick.

big dick energy is for someone with an average or small penis, or even no penis at all, in the case of women, but whom act with the presumed confidence and cockiness of someone with a big dick. hence big dick energy.

>>65242
Pretty sure it refers to a genuine confidence regardless of cock size.

>>65242

While it's true you can have big dick energy with any size of knob, or even none at all, the phrase does not preclude those with actual large penises.

I've adopted a sort of syncretistic Discordian-Pyrrhonist-Gnosticism but I don't like talking about it much as I worry it sounds like I'm just taking the piss out of other people's beliefs when it's not really. It's compatible with ideas like
>but doesn't Godel's theorem also hold true if you accept that the results of something "god-like" could also be explained as entropy or chaos

As someone who's a year deep into studies on Historical Jesus and the origins of biblical monotheism in ancient Israel I can only say Poo Poo. But you do you, lad.

It's become fashionable to be agnostic these days, I feel, and atheism has become associated with those edgy, neckbeard fedora types. It's a tragedy if you ask me, because you have otherwise rational people excusing all sorts of nonsense brain-worms just because they don't want to look like a teenager from 4chan.

As far as I want to be able to give people the freedom to believe in what they want, I really truly can't reconcile how an otherwise intelligent person can practice faith, at least in the traditional, Jeduo-Christian/Iglooist way. It seems to me all too obvious that these religions in particular have, historically, been responsible for altogether more evil than good. Their very roots in culture exist as an early form of social control and manipulation, before we'd invented mass propaganda and the modern police state. Indeed that's the only reason they have become unnecessary.

I think it's a relic of our past we'd really be better off without. There are better philosophical approaches to dealing with the quandary of the unfathomable.

>>89427

People who beleive something anyway prove something they believe anyway, yet fail to convince anyone else. Is the best way of summing up Godel's ontological theorem. it is circular reasoning plain and simple.

>>89420

>I was a militant Christopher Hitchens style atheist

I really hate the equivocation of atheism with this brand of it, it seems like an oversimplified Americanism. And I think the prevailing truth suffers from political tit for tat for it being treated like it is a counter point to Christianity when it isn't and shouldn't behave like it is.

I thought I had seen Are Geoff Marshall walking around up here the other month, I probably mentioned it in one of these threads, but I dismissed it. He's just released a video on our Metro system so it absolutely was him. I regret not shouting something at him about pacers, now.

I bought a few USB clip-on fans last year, and they were surprisingly good.
Like https://www.amazon.co.uk/IREENUO-Rechargeable-Operated-Portable-Personal/dp/B07CWPYS5M - I just searched if USB battery fan.
They go for quite a while on battery, and if you just want to blow the sweat off, they're great. Obviously no use for doing a whole room.
Wondering about a ceiling fan for the bedroom this year, the Mrs likes her pedestal fan, but it's annoying.

>>27423
The main downside is that they only work in dry heat. On a humid day they're useless to worse than nothing.
Otherwise, the small cheap ones you can get from china for £20-30, I really don't know how good they'll be, just for the fact that they probably can't physically move enough air through them to be useful. There's some bigger units around £100 that may be a better but then it's ending up being quite expensive for something that's only going to be needed a few days or weeks a year.

I wonder how hard it would be to turn a car A/C compressor into a room-sized air conditioner. You'd need some sort of motor to drive it, but I suppose a 500W electric motor should do the job.

It'd be more the supporting pipework, and putting the radiator mounts in appropriate places, and I'm no plumber.

>>27430
How humid are we talking? We don't get real humidity here, do we?

Anyway, I am effectively non-functional for ~2 months of the year when the heat arrives. If there's something out there for shy of £100 that can help, it's getting fucking bought.

>>27431
I've often pondered this. I'm happy to get stuck in with DIY but mounting radiators on a wall two storeys up is a bit beyond me.

>>27432
Not him but I reckon this comes down to where abouts you live. Near any rivers or lakes you will already be aware of the humidity difference, fucked if you get hot-rain like we had last year.

I just copied >>27425 and ordered a Meaco 650. Seems to have rave reviews and will hopefully be enough for one person.

One of you left a post that was also an envelope full of money for people to take as and when they needed it. I don't really need anything, but I liked the dream logic of being able to post a physical wad of cash onto the net, so I'm telling you all about it now.

>>435653
I got a chuckle out of this picturing myself being paid for dreaming overtime - cash in hand.

I'd probably do overtime in my sleep if I could.

I've recently been having dreams where I've been living entirely alternate lives.

The other day I woke up feeling like Arnold Rimmer in "Thanks for the memory" after having spent the whole night dreaming about a perfect girlfriend who never existed.

Last night I was dreaming that I was in uni as a foreign exchange student. Not only were all the popular birds dead into me and my ability to speak their language but I was training with and doing private lessons daily with one of my jiu jitsu heroes.

I don't think I have to get on the old ouija board to Sigmund to figure out what's going on in my subconscious lately.

There will be a new internal barrier system on the London Underground. When you try to change line to get on Crossrail people are filtered based on two entry points:

1. If you have a HSBC card you can go right through by presenting the card at a special barrier.

2. Everyone else needs to download a package of quiz apps and complete one which will give you a limited time pass page to scan on the barrier. There's bit of an area set up for people to complete quizzes and no you can't just download one quiz app.

My quiz was rather complicated and the first question simply said 'Robert' when they meant Robert the Bruce while describing the Battle of Bannockburn. Everyone else seemed to pass their respective quizzes with ease and got on the next train leaving me behind. Even my ex-girlfriend, who I was travelling with, decided to meet me at the destination rather than hang around.

The more miffed I got the more questions I got wrong until I started to succumb to despair. When I finally finished, 15 minutes later, the barrier wouldn't scan my now miserable score and I needed to ask a patrolling transport policewoman to let me through.

I still rate the new Elizabeth Line 6/10 because it wasn't very crowded and actually a bit cold inside. This might be a workable system.

Almost wet my dream thinking about my mother, again. Thankfully I managed to supressed it, though it felt fucking incredible riding that sensation. I haven't even been abstaining from wanking recently - i don't know what's going on.

Once i got back to sleep i found myself briefly shagging a obese black woman, which was really nice. Shew was one of those soft looking females.

After that i found some kind of massive dry slug creature trying to claim too much territory from someone in my family. I decided 'fuck this', and proceeded to show it what for. It sucked onto my arm and began rasping blood from my flesh, which was managable, until i realised the more danger it's in the stronger it gets. And it got really fucking strong, to the point i thought i'd lose my arm. I can't remember how that part finished.

>>27411
I don't think much of that outro music.

Christ, that's a women.

I wonder what became of the Greens. The fact that the computer was owned in a cooperative must've been a fucking nightmare.

Why did so many men in the '80s look like Stephen King? Alternatively, why does Stephen King still look like he's from the '80s?

Thank you very much, I didn't know about them.

Today I've tried using red wine vinegar in my pasta sauce. I think it might be a bit of a game changer.

>>13055
As I said in >>12823 you need a bit of vinegar to make the tomatoes taste nicer. It's definitely a game changer.

I think I've perfected tomato sauce:-

3 tins of chopped tomatoes
6/7 cloves of garlic
Glug of oil
A few herbs
A squeeze of tomato puree

Perfecto.

>>13056
I always add white wine vinegar to pasta. And a small mountain of salt. The pasta should taste delicious on its own.

>>13274
It ain't perfecto if it's tinned tomatoes now is it, mate.
