rich

I don’t take shit from my employer.

I have a manager who hates me because of it. But as long as I do my job well, and as long as everyone else likes me, I can push back as much as I fucking want.

Helps that I have a disability, one of the few times it works in my favour is in employment.

Man I love potato skin

If I peel potato skins, I usually keep them to make a vegetable stock.

Yep it’s porn

And it’s strangely nostalgic, those little GIFs…takes me right back to the 56k days.

So I can use my Rift S on Linux? If so, then awesome.

Can’t use VR or HDR on Linux sadly. Those are the only two things holding me back.

Yarrr…tis not a man. Tis a remorseless eating machine!

I don’t own a car anymore and haven’t for two years now. I walk everywhere. Around 10 miles most days through the countryside and coast from town to town.

Healthiest I’ve ever been, I can eat what I want a lot of the time too. I’ve got basically no body fat and I have a ridiculous amount of energy. I feel constantly refreshed too, before I was lethargic and overweight.

I live in the UK however in a very pedestrian orientated location where I can do this without issue. Or get a bus or train if needed. I have absolutely no idea how it would be possible in a rural area or a car centric city. I guess it wouldn’t be, and the people in charge are not willing to change.

And the UK

Fucking idiotic, thick as two short planks bunch of pricks, the lot of them. Cunts.

…politicians I mean, not the children. They’re cool.

Despite using it at its very launch, I’ve never used YouTube at all really before aside from looking at clips I’ve found elsewhere, with full adblock, and uploading game clips for mates as unlisted, because it’s easy

I think I’ve gone too long now without recommendations to be bothering to start. There is so much utter, utter shite peddled by utter, utter cunts that puts me off the entire thing.

Probably Donkey Kong Country 2. I can blaze through the game in a couple of hours and have done so a few times a week each week for about twenty years as just a fallback when I’ve got nothing else to do. Before that I used to play it just as much, but no idea how frequently - too long ago.

I’ve been playing it since 1995. I had a lot more free time back then too. So uh, maybe a good few tens of thousand hours at least? Impossible to say.

I don’t intend on using this at the moment but applaud the name

Same here in the UK. We get an hour where I work, plus breaks.

Nice

My best movie memory ever was bunking off work one tuesday morning and going to see Mad Max Fury Road. It cost basically nothing, I had two pints of beer (the cinema had a bar for this screen) and no one else was there apart from me

It was glorious

It’s not “weird” sadly, it’s increasingly normal

And I’ve noticed the general UK public have gone utterly downhill in their respect for others over the past few years. No one cares about anyone else anymore. Cinemas are ruined, shopping is a nightmare. They’re all pricks.

12tb

Two 2tb NVMEs, one standard 4tb drive, and a 4tb external.

And then I have my NAS which adds some more too

You don’t need to censor yourself…

Fuck the RIAA, bunch of absolute cunts.

My daughter has this issue with others in her class - she grew up with me and the computers and games I got for her, and she was ahead of her classmates in IT from the start. Some others had never used a mouse before - at age 11.
