RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Oct 28th, 2024
My parents came to pick me up. Also, took a covid test when I woke up today, and it turns out the thing I caught was, in fact, Covid-19. Fuck me.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Moonface - Oct 28th, 2024
Oof. Best things to hope for are that nobody else on your trip caught it and that if you didn't have a vaccine for it recently, that it doesn't fuck you up as badly as it did me the last time I had it. Also RIP to anyone on the plane home who was sat around you I guess.
Speaking of the plane home, what did you do to fill up 9+ hours of time in the sky?
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Oct 28th, 2024
Sleep and search internet intermittenly. The flight sucked because my bottom really started hurting after a while.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Moonface - Oct 28th, 2024
Was the internet just included as part of your ticket or did you have to buy it on the flight? I can't remember if it was included on any of my international flights but I feel like if it was I would've used it.
All I remember using on those flights was the entertainment screen in the back of the seat. XD
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Oct 28th, 2024
Oh, Delta just has free wi-fi, at least for SkyMiles members (which is literally just their free log-in service). It's awesome! Didn't have to deal with the entertainment once, because I had Youtube. In fact, rebooking my flight and going with Airfrance was a DOWNGRADE, because they only give free wi-fi for messaging apps!

Yeah this is particularly why I mask the fuck up at airports cuz boy howdy that sure is where that'll happen, and did in fact happen only a few short months ago. Wait, June was 5 months ago.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Karo - Nov 4th, 2024
Time really is the ultimate illusion. I also kinda feel like I've been reading too much bad news and it kinda feel like.......
You know tha Simpsons scene where Bart had the worst day of hsi life and Homer was like, "Worst day of your life so far"
really does kinda feel like the way that the world is going I guess overall things are moving in the right direction, but one thing for sure it never really does feel like it?

I'd also say avoid reading about the news on social media sites because 1) sites will make the most click bait shit to get engagement and skew how the news sounds to get kneejerk reaction comments and 2) the comments are normally a dumpster fire because of point 1.
Ugh, I have an assignment I have to finish tonight but my Adderall has worn off so the struggle is incredibly real right now to focus on the bastarding thing.... >.<
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Moonface - Nov 9th, 2024
Nothing like looking up at your TV for a moment to see the screen has just suddenly got some weird burnout glitch stuff going on for no reason. And it's our main TV that we use to watch stuff on and play games...
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Moonface - Dec 1st, 2024
So I was browsing Amazon's Black Friday weekend deals and stumbled onto a company that makes some very much "We have x at home" style products. The best one I saw so far is this one: Soyee Magnetic Blocks - Totally Not Mario Set
If you think it just coasts dangerously close to the sun visually, just scroll down to the image that details each of the blocks provided in the set and you get to see they just didn't even care to rename some of the stuff. Bowser, the Goomba, and the Piranha Plants are just straight up called those exact names!
They also have totally-not-Minecraft sets too which is what first caught my attention, but funnily enough they opted to not name any of the blocks in those sets. They just have the pictures and number of each block the set has. Yet this company thought it would be a good idea to name the totally-not-Mario blocks just to give the Nintendo lawyers more ammunition to use if they see fit to go after them.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Mr EliteL - Dec 1st, 2024
I would not dare to be anywhere near that toy set and would hate to own it even as a kid (I hope I wouldn't anyway), but good grief they really didn't try to stay out of a potential issue there.
Work be slightly mad, but now I get a week off because I really had to book time off, what with 90+ hours still left remaining. I was also off for 6 days beforehand too, yeah would've been better to have that time in warmer weather, but I just didn't bother.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - azalea - Dec 1st, 2024
i'm debating whether to participate in cyber monday sales or not. i did most of my black friday shopping a week before the day itself (since some stores have sales early), but now.... hm. think i might save a bit just in case holiday sales end up being around the same price, so i don't have that FOMO.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - Maniakkid25 - Dec 1st, 2024
I did my Christmas shopping all at once on Friday, so I'm all set as far as that goes. There's not really anything that interests me right now that's on sale.
RE: Universal Chat Thread - azalea - Dec 2nd, 2024
the only thing i remotely really care about is new clothing since i'm not done with that yet, but i have the rest of this month to go about doing that, so i don't think i'm necessarily missing out.

(Dec 1st, 2024, 08:22 PM)Mr EliteL Wrote:Eh, I think the concept of magnetic blocks is fine and is probably the best way to translate the Minecraft block style into real life toys; I just wouldn't want to trust the quality of it when it needs to try and market itself by infringing on multiple copyrights.

Bah, Shira is away for the weekend and I literally don't know what to do with myself. I did almost nothing yesterday and today isn't faring much better. I could literally do anything I want to and the amount of freedom that provides is so overwhelming to the point of just shutting down.
