I was right. It got sent to NE instead, clear on the other side of the lake, then it got returned to sender and they had to not fuck up my address and send it again. Which they fucked up one more time just to prove how incompetent the people in corporate are. Also, they mail them from the east coast. For some stupid reason.

Ummm... That IS what I just said. I just waited for a sex scene, and made a move. Easy. And instead of being content with that, I am struggling not to watch ahead om Game of Thrones. Because despite just winning, I am a loser. Goodnight. @Binky Breakfast I can do, she hates undergarments, and I make tabletop games, not novels.

For the record, I did. During the scene where Oberyn meets Tywin, apparently the sex before that did the trick. And now, she's asleep. And all I'm thinking about is what might happen in episode 4. What is wrong with me?

This show might be TOO good. She is entranced by Joffrey's wedding. And poisoning. Yes. YES. YES! SEVEN! GODS! YES!!! I hope he dies, tell me he dies, please. I only watch this with her.

Yeah... That is less likely to work than just putting it in. Though... With her, that isn't exactly the greatest condemnation. Just putting it in works fairly often.

Since I am posting, clearly it hasn't happened. Because she's watching Game of Thrones. Well, at least sex turns her on, and there's plenty of sex scenes in Game of Thrones. So it might happen. Maybe.

1/365 of the forum should be born any given day of the year. Get to a thousand members, it would be amazing if it wasn't every single day.

My girlfriend in five minutes. Maybe. Probably. I hope. I need it at this point.

I finally got my check... Though only my first one I can afford to keep working now. They aren't off the hook yet, I better start getting my fucking checks on wednesday when I'm supposed to, not saturday the week after.

And that is what mods are for.

Pretty sure my staffing agency is just too fucking stupid to realize the "SE" in my address that I double underlined every single time I wrote it in their paperwork might be important to include when they mail me my check.

Flat broke, Jeb. Because I will lose my job if I don't get paid this week. I have no money to GET to work next week if I am not paid.

@Jeb_CC My direct deposit won't work until at least next week. This is an actual physical check supposedly sent by mail last wednesday, and now another supposedly sent this wednesday, that simply have not arrived. If my pay continues to not arrive, I fucking quit. I am not working for my health.

Week 3 complete. Still no fucking paycheck.

I am not a happy camper.

My first paycheck was due this wednesday. It is now saturday. I have received no paycheck. I have no money, so I can't afford transportation, food or rent now that I haven't been, you know, PAID for my WORK. I can't keep spending money to go to work if I don't get FUCKING PAID. Where in the FUCK is my FUCKING PAYCHECK?

Fighting with a robot that can't weld for shit. Also trying not to fall down, because this is the tail end of my fourth ten hour shift with no sitting, and I've slept nineteen hours total so far this week, most of which were shaky sleep on an uncomfortable couch under a non-blanket in a roach infested apartment. I am not a happy camper, but I lack the energy to be angry and mostly I'm just sore. I need to start bringing ibuprofen to work.

If moral repugnance factors in, I nominate ZOG's Nightmare for the title of worst game ever. See, I'm used to games coming out that are just racist power fantasies glorifying the organized mass murder of various ethnic groups. I hate it, but I also accept that games like Call of Duty and Battlefield aren't going away as long as there's enough dim witted, racist, jingoistic douchebags ready to buy them. And if there's anything america has in abundamce, it's dim-witted, racist, jingoistic douchebags, so they'll always have a market. This game is different. Worse. I don't want to believe this game has a market in my country, but I know it does. It's neo-nazi propaganda, hence "ZOG". As repulsive as that is, I gave it a look, though I never got as far as playing it. What made its racism so disturbing wasn't that it was so over the top, rather that it wasn't over the top enough. It was actually fairly tempered compared to the neo-nazi party line, and in an obviously deliberate way. That disturbed me. I gave it a look in the first place for a laugh. I have a strange sense of humour, you see. I expected to laugh at the insanity being pushed the way I laugh at real people who believe in ZOG, or similarly insane things like the Illuminati or Reptile Government. But it being delibrately tempered meant that these people knew how crazy they sound, and were tuning down their beliefs to appeal to more mild racists and radicalize them later. That means they are, to an extent, rational actors. And I find the reminder that people smart enough to realize "NOBODY is going to take us seriously unless we tone our racism down" can buy into such insane and obviously destructive things, and strongly enough to not question their beliefs even when they have to tune them down to convince others. That makes it dangerous. That is enough for it to be, morally, the worst game I've ever seen.

Precor. I make parts for gym equipment.

Getting to bed after a 10-hour shift.

Okay, I like my new job, but our robots FUCKING SUCK. I used three of them today. Every one failed to start, broke down, stopped unexpectedly AND fucked up several welds. I was supposed to get trained on three new machines today, but we had so many technical problems we only got to two. How can these machines suck this bad WITH daily maintenance? Can you imagine how bad they'd be without it? Fuck guys, get a mechanic.

I'm pretty sure he'd know if it was Quake.

I think that one is MissionForce: CyberStorm. It is from the '90s, but it was on Windows.

Not surprised to hear that from you, Kydure. Even less surprised to hear you not provide a single reason why, since I know your only actual reason is "Black Isle didn't make it, therefore it sucks." Now it's my turn to retort, and I see no reason to be nice about it. I am about to seriously offend you. Don't read if you can't take it. You have been warned. I can't believe I'm still arguing with Black Isle loyalists. I don't get why you people are still at it. I can't believe a franchise that had two shitty, nearly unplayable games in the '90s before the company rightfully went tits up managed to gather such a fanatical group of loyalist trolls to attack every company that picked up the rights afterwards. I am truly mystified as to how you people actually think the first two games were good enough to deserve that kind of loyalty. I am also quite puzzled by how you people apparently have so much time on your hands that you can sift through every line of text in Fallout 2 and the fucking Fallout Bible to find every little tiny detail in the lore that Bethesda missed to use as an excuse to condemn them, but you somehow didn't do enough research to realise that the creator of the franchise called both of these things "the worst thing to ever happen to Fallout". And that's what it's always been about, too. It's the friggin' lore, every time. That's all you people ever talk about is how they contradicted the lore, and it's always lore from Fallout 2 or the Fallout Bible. Just contradicting the lore established in a game that the creators of the franchise regret making and a book that isn't even canon in the first place is NOT enough to condemn a game for, and it certainly isn't enough to make a game "the worst game ever". Especially when that lore violates itself on a regular basis because Chris Avellone is a friggin' hack. Not only is Bethesda not doing anything Black Isle didn't by contradicting previously established lore, but Bethesda is actually a LOT better about it by at least making sure the NEW lore is internally consistent. If you want to hate Bethesda for violating the lore, fine, but it'd be intellectually dishonest to claim that's the actual reason when you don't hate Black Isle for doing it more frequently and worse. And as for gameplay... Yeah, I've said my piece on that already. I have an extremely hard time believing that anybody could genuinely prefer the completely broken, glitchy, luck-based bullshit of the first two games to the at least *playable* and often actually *fun* gameplay in the most recent two. I get that it's your opinion. There are people who think the Virtual Boy was the best game console, or that Sonic '06 was the best Sonic game. There is such a thing as a wrong opinion, and yours is one of them. But hey, maybe I'm selling you short. Maybe it isn't about the lore or gameplay. Maybe you actually have a great reason to hate the more recent Fallout games. That's certainly possible, I won't dismiss that entirely. But of course, if you do I have no way of knowing because you've never actually GIVEN that reason. If you have a reason that isn't about them contradicting Chris "Self-Contradiction" Avellone or changing the gameplay to something not shit, I'd love to hear it. No, really. That would fill me with glee to hear one of you people give an ACTUAL reason to hate the newer Fallout games that isn't a thinly veiled declaration of "New company, therefore it sucks." But I've been arguing with you idiots for SIX YEARS and it hasn't happened even ONE TIME, so excuse me if I'm not getting my hopes up.

Very satisfied, having just finished my first week at work. Which is awesome.
