Especially since the final Episode comes out on the 20th.

Apparently it's today. For realz this time guys!

You could win money!

@Three-Eyed-Crow Oh yeah, my NPR's are GREAT (I even got a 90% from the woman who said my voice was too husky and inappropriate LOL), QMP's are a different thing. They are all the things I'm supposed to say on the call, while not sounding scripted at all.

Mainly just complaining that an 85% and an 88% is still a fucking fail. Because seriously!

Also, because I apparently failed to hit send: To whomever signed me up for all the Christian Dating spam: I hate you. Why can't I have normal spam about how inadequate my penis is?

I saw this little video on how to tell if a conspiracy was wackadoo or not recently. Now it doesn't work for everything, but it's pretty good:

"Does X affect the really rich?"

So "Do really rich people die of diseases that they could have been cured of if only Big Pharma had released some super secret cure, but didn't want to because they want to keep the population down?" Yes, yes they do. There is no secret cure.

"Do only rich people benefit from technology from Roswell?" No, almost everyone has a smart phone now. Aliens are real and being hidden away.

Of course that has nothing to do with prices or anything.

Working from home can be great. But it's also filled with assholes from the internet. For example:

"Are you actually even an employee? You're voice is too husky and I find it inappropriate." - Actual quote from a customer. (I do wireless network technical support)

Also, in what world are 85% and 88% a fail. 90% is a pass now? I need someone to teach me how to robot or some shit. I know I'm still new and they don't expect my numbers to be the best and they have been going up, but it's just disheartening to do your best and still be told you are failing.

It's pretty great. But you can have a LOT done. And also most people accept tips as well with higher prices. So while the initial cost is $5 most people are willing to "tip" as well. And it's recording and writing and well, just lots of things, not just pictures. Like if you can photoshop at all and need to make a quick buck. And then some of the really good people do manage to make a living off of it. Of course like anything you need to build a reputation.

Have you looked at Fiverr.com? So many things people do. I mean not to take money from artists but $70-$90? I'm cheap!

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is Free on Steam right now.

There's also some 18 year cycle ending around now as well, so we're going to have the highest tides EVAR (in a couple couple hundred years, anyway.)

In case you weren't aware, it's supposed to be today or tomorrow this time.

I've always wanted to have an influence system where there was a giant phone book of contacts. So you didn't have a contact in the Mayor's office, you might have his secretary. But so could other people. So one day the secretary might just say "You know what? Fuck off. I've been doing so much for you that I could loose my job if I keep it up. You want this, Bob wants that. I'm done for a while!"

I think it would be awesome, but very staff intensive.

I think my oWoD Vampire roots are showing.

Nah it's stuffed and mounted.

I dunno.

You can have sex on a unicorn in 3 though?

Witcher 3 is on sale now on Greenman Gaming for 50% off. If you have been waiting for it to be on sale, now's the time!

(They have a lot of Rockstar stuff on Sale right now too.)

Yeah, I mean, I never got taking a dog to another person's house. Sure I take them on walks, but not out with me when I go places. That's just weird.

I figured you weren't, but, you know, peeves. That's why I TL;DR'ed it. Mostly peeving about people making assumptions, honestly.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is FREE on Steam until 10am PST 16/9/15. (Tonight, basically)

Also Red Alert 2 and one of it's DLC's are free on Origin right now.

Related animal peeve: Just because dogs do pee inside, people assume they are untrained:

We have two dogs, rescue dogs from a puppy mill a mother and daughter is from the mother's third heat and they are a year apart. They were also left alone for long stretches of time 12+ hours. So far as they know it's okay to go on linoleum. They are both getting much better at asking to go outside. But still they have accidents, or they simply just don't even ask to go out.

So from my point of view having already rescued the dogs from a puppy mill if anyone ever called the SPCA on me that would certainly be the last contact I ever had with that person.

I get why someone might assume neglect and lack of training, but yeah.

TL;DR People who presume to know better than I do when they don't have all the information.

And also so I don't double post:

People who say "You meant X" No, if I had meant X, I would have said X, not Y. Just because something doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean I said it incorrectly. Bonus peeve points when they get their correction wrong.

I know I'm new and all that but getting an 80.6% on something and being told it's a failure is meeeeeh.
