I showed my mom what white vinegar can do to limescale.
My parents live in South Africa so limescale isn’t a major issue, but some builds up in kettles over time.
So I told her about vinegar, put some in the kettle and you could basically see it dissolving and breaking up in real time.
He’s pickling that okra.
You mean a convicted felon?
Surely a convicted felon would never do something like break international laws.
I remember when people were selling Dota2 invites, the price was way too high for me but then again I didn’t really have interest in it.
Well, I got invited somehow and when a guy I worked with heard, he demanded my Steam credentials.
Why? Because he wanted to play.
I told him no, that’s not happening. So he tried to guilt me, be a bro!
No, because that means I will be locked out of my games. Whenever you go online and play I will get kicked out of Steam and unable to play my games.
So? he says, do me a solid!
Told him to stick it. I did not trust him, he used to tell me stories of pretending to be a girl in games for free stuff. He pretended to be a girl in WoW and so many guys in his guild would give him free stuff and boost him through dungeons.
But yeah, scalpers suck. But I also don’t understand wanting to get into a beta that badly that you’d pay that much for it. I guess some people are loaded and that amount is nothing to them.
My mom thinks so lol. She thinks he single-handedly saved the economy and is responsible for it being so good.
Sadly, she has gone full Boomer over the last year or so.
We didn’t have M-Net growing up, not until later on so it would have been one of the SABCs I think.
Hell, I remember when ETV launched. Hell yeah! Another free channel to watch and I remember it came out swinging with Bay Watch reruns.
I remember a lot of 80’s shows growing up, I think we got them a bit later on because well… SA was a bit behind and we got stuff late.
I remember seeing this series as a kid growing up in South Africa.
Had no idea where it came from, it just started airing.
I’m not sure how many seasons aired, but I was old enough to remember it so would have been around 1990 onwards.
On his knees and ready to please.
Known liar says things that probably totally isn’t a lie.
Does it twice, just to hammer it home.
He needs to pretend to be a top tier gamer to win the affection of internet strangers because he craves validation and attention.
Natural born grifter and liar.
I have a ( I can’t say girlfriend, I can’t say lady friend and I don’t want to say female friend because it sounds neckbeardy) friend who has this issue.
She much prefers having guy friends but the single ones often start to show signs they are interested in dating her when she is just looking for friendship.
I’m one of the few guy friends she has that has not tried put the moves on her. She’s invited a few of us to a games convention over the years and both the other guys have been dropping hints at their intentions and she wants none of it. These are guys she has been friends with for years, and the two most recent ones have been from my home country as well which annoys me. She doesn’t seem to be able to take us out anywhere without issues.
Her and I get along well, very similar interests, hobbies, and views but we have no interest in each other in any intimate way. My mother absolutely loves her.
Where I am from, a lot of people just assume a guy and girl cannot be friends. Something has to be going on between them. I’ve always had gal friends? and every time someone has assumed something is going on and it never has.
A lot of people used to tell me growing up, that I should make friends with a girl first and then ‘upgrade’ to a relationship. Yeah no I don’t like that, seems underhanded, but sure it could happen when 2 friends develop feelings for each other but don’t go into a friendship expecting more.
In the splash-zone.
Right on the lips you say?
It’s pretty normal as far as I am aware.
I have another friend who uses Linux and he also disro hops, same as me.
We’ll try out a distro and if it turns out we don’t like it, doesn’t suit our needs, doesn’t support something we want to do or it just breaks then we try another.
I started on Ubuntu many years ago and grew to dislike it. I stay away from Debian for the most part these days. Tried Kubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Mint etc.
I tried Manjaro and hated it. It stopped working when my monitors went to sleep, could not bring them back. Also had some PC freezes. Tried another installation of it and same thing.
I tried Garuda, did not like.
I tried Pop!_OS but I don’t recall much about it.
I’ve now settled on Fedora based distros. Fedora is quite nice but my main one is Nobara. I’m currently playing around with Bazzite.
I’d like to see what Steam OS is about when they do some releases for their current version. I think I played around with a very old version years ago.
Never tried Arch, I might do it just because or so I can say I did.
I’ve probably forgotten a few others between.
Is this all just more misdirection from the actual horrible stuff they are doing?
Another Greenland LOOK OVER THERE! moment.
Their games are from another time, I feel. They are so focused on how they have always made games and somehow proud of it.
They were great when they were made all those years ago, the times when games felt clunky. It was the times.
But Starfield still has that clunk and other games feel way more fluid these days. I don’t feel like I can go back to playing a game that feels like I’m playing a brick.
No preorders, probably won’t even end up playing it because it will most likely, probably, definately, suck farts.
It feels like we have 4 years worth of headlines from him already.
