stupid first world problems you're dealing with

vintage clothing stores (you know who you are) re-branding shrunken jumpers as "cropped". yeah right, shut up!!!

The pressure got to me in the last stretch of my manual on Tony Hawks' Underground and I fell at around 1,800,000 points. Needless to say I ragequitted and had to have a little lay down after that.

yes! THUG was the best game in the series for getting insane combo points. just keep manualling and grinding and switch positions every second and you get the multiplier up to the stratosphere.

Yeah, exactly. THUG is probably my all-time favourite Tony Hawks game, but that might be because of nostalgia. I can't even remember how many times I've completed the storyline over the years, back on me ol' trusty gamecube. The the gameplay was smooth, the maps were great, and the missions system was satisfying, unlike in THUG2. THPS4 is probably my other favourite TH game, I get colossal nostalgia from the Alcatraz map on it.

I can't distinguish Devo from Kraftwerk until the vocals come in... but then I discover which one it is and it all seems so obvious

 

hah, that's odd... What albums/tracks are you talking about?

 

No idea! It was a playlist someone else compiled with a few Devo tracks, a few Kraftwerk tracks, and whatever else. Any time either of those artists came up I knew it was one or the other, but had to check to see which. To be fair, I only went through both discographies once at some point in the last couple years, and was not familiar with either before then, save a few more well known songs. Terrible, I know.

lol this isn't really a fwp but I don't know where else to put it.

For some reason, on any computer I use, the targeted ads that come up are for Muslim or Arab dating sites?

Not only have I never been on a dating site, I've never searched for Muslim or Arab porn or anything even remotely close.

I also have my browsers set to clear history and all other caches when I close the browser.

So why are my home and work computers constantly offering me Muslim and Arab women? wat?

they love you long time

@stephen - isn't there a tinge of Muslim-phobia around your parts (Canada) much like us down south in PartyLand? Maybe it's like the 'if you make fun of gay dudes, you probably want to get pounded by one' thing, but with Muslims - trolling all the phobes out there into a sexual frenzy and/or ideological stupor and contradictory fugue.

Meta troll Psy-ops style...

^ that would be hilarious master trolling by the internet service providers lol.

I think you're right RE the phobia though, particularly in Alberta for whatever reason. Alberta is kind of the Texas of Canada, if that makes any sense.

I'm a sicko though MGF, I actually LIKE the cold.

rain is character-building, apparently

Refrigerator temperatures aren't bad as long as you're moving.

My FWP is that my retarded 30-second track got more than triple the amount of listens on SC that my more serious seven-and-a-half minute track did, both from last month. I must be doing something wrong.BLABAGBHGHBABABA shut up

still dealing with weird bs bladder problem. been to the doctor 3 times, official response = "i dunno lol"

 

urine test = "i dunno lol". no blood though which is good.

subscribed anti biotics for prostatitis even though an overwhelming majority of cases do not respond to anti biotics. also i don't really have any pain anywhere and from what i've read it can be a painful illness.

 

basically what happens is i'll have to go pee, and then i pee a very small amount, and when i'm done i still feel like i have to go still. it waxes and wanes - some days i don't have much urgency and feel more or less normal. other days it is quite frustrating and i don't feel any relief at all.. often i have to wake up several times in the night (last night was every friggin 2 hours).

 

it's made me pretty glum, i just want to know wtf is going on.

Fuck, that sucks. I kinda get something similar where I can't piss in a public restroom when other people are in the room. Its really weird and annoying especially when I really need to go. Funny thing is, literally the moment the door closes as someone leaves, its no problem

Having lots of money in red deer is like being a fly living in an open sewer. Lots to eat, but it's still a pile of shit.

lolol wow you REALLY don't like red deer!

I'm not REALLY a Richard Devine fan, but Cautella sounds alright. I can't find the bloody thing for purchase at a reasonable price anywhere! Generally $40-75 + shipping for the CD....

Why aren't the old sublight albums available for purchase in digital? =(

I know the Gasman put up his Sublight releases on his bandcamp page so I presume all rights have reverted to the original creators. Richard Devine prob just hasn't got round to putting that stuff up himself, or doesn't care.

I couldn't even find a torrent lol, I was considering torrenting it to make sure it was worth spending $40 on the cd. Like I said, not usually a devine fan but what I heard was alright.

It's one of the most alright sounding electronic albums of all time.

Most alright is of course Bogdan Raczynski - Alright!

Seriously though, that album's like the holy grail of sound design, and once you have it you don't really need anything else by Devine.

Do you have any idea where to buy it digitally if there is anywhere? I've looked all over. I grabbed Risp and a few tracks are alright, not wholly my cup o tea but it's solid.

I really want the Cautella one.

Well shit! I don't know, the only times I've ever bought mp3s/flacs were off of bandcamp. Ever since i got an iPod I've become a pirating monster. It's a good thing too, otherwise I'd have no money (all my spare $ used to go towards CDs).

The cheats in GTA V no longer work due to recent update. That's 90% of the reason I bought it! :(

No Richard Devine CD is worth $40, especially if you only think it's 'alright'. He won't even get any of that money!
