I'm still pissed that YouTube forces you to get a subscription if you want to have background video playing.

It's annoying but I don't get those on my PC through a few ad blockers so none of that matters to me (yet)!

Hi this is my first post. I've been lurking here on and off for a few years. I'll try not to be a dick or a tryhard.

I'm going to fucking find where you live, and then rape and kill you.

Anyone else absolutely hate being told "good morning" by coworkers?

Fucking is it? Is having to get up before 6 am and dragging ass for the next 9 to 10 hours because you don't get enough sleep ever "good"?

I would be perfectly okay if no one ever bid me a good morning ever again. No seriously, I'm letting you off the hook and you no longer need to go out of your way.

I figured it'd be a good idea for me to look at the minimum requirements for some of the unreleased games on my Steam wishlist, since while my laptop has a decent enough graphics card, can play plenty of recent games at high settings and will probably handle the indie games just fine, it's not a beast of a PC with a fancy i7 and eleventy bajillion GTX 1080ti s in it so it might struggle to run some of the most recent "big open world AAA" stuff from this year's E3.

Which leads me to 2 things that are currently annoying me.

1) Far Cry 5 has no system requirements listed even though the game is basically finished. I'm not even gonna pre-order it but in the hypothetical event that I'd want to pre-order the game I'd wanna know if it'll actually work on my computer before I drop like £50 on it.

2) People that don't list how many GHz a CPU has in the requirements section ((I'm looking at you, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice)), because it just means I'll have to take more time to google it when they could've taken 2 seconds of their time to type it in. I wouldn't mind so much if the long string of numbers at the end of the name actually made sense, like an i5 6000-something was better than an i5 3000-something, but that would make things too easy. Grrrrrrr-

Have you taken a look at the Far Cry Primal system requirements? Given that they're on the same engine and for the same platform, I doubt they're far off.
 
I just watched the TV pilot to Clerks. I really liked the film back in college, along with the animated series, but never saw the live-action pilot.

It's bad, but it does make me feel nostalgic. It condescendingly captures that snarky, slacker-pride sentiment that was an essential part of the 90's. That time when there wasn't all this pressure to have everything figured out for your future. It's relaxing even if it misses the point of the movie about how Dante blames everyone else but himself for his problems (even if Randall is partially to blame). And the slacking feels exaggerated in that TV-sitcom sort of way, though the roof hockey does come to mind somewhat.

Kinda wish the show had been picked up for a season, if only as a time capsule to a more carefree time. In the meantime, I'm going to rewatch the animated series.

I'm sure we all miss those days fondly.

Speaking of nostalgia, I'm revisiting my teenage Goth edgelord days by drinking Mountain Dew and listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, Celtic Frost, and other typical edgelord/Goth/Metal fare. I might even hook up my PS2 and play some Resident Evil or watch some episodes of InuYasha for the extra mile down memory lane.

I was weird in the fact that I identified as "Goth" and dressed the part (as best as I could afford to, anyway) in High School, but I also had some weeb and metalhead tendencies as well. My mom introduced me to Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Ministry, and the like, as well as old-school metal and hard rock. Hell, my parents were also outcast metalhead proto-Goths in high school who liked both Goth and Metal, so I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

I never cared for Marilyn Manson or Linkin Park, but I did like some of the other edgelord shit like Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden,and a lot of black metal stuff like Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Mayhem, Darkthrone, etc.

The weirdest part was that I still liked bluegrass even in my Goth phase. Then again, I've liked bluegrass music since I was a small kid listening to my grandmother playing old bluegrass records.

Currently on my second can of Mountain Dew, listening to "This Corrosion" while dressed in all black (even if it's just a tank top and track pants). I feel like I'm 15 all over again. Even if things sucked for me back then, I still enjoy a little kick of nostalgia every once in a while.
