The Small Rants Thread XI :What Do you Want to Bitch About?

Because the last one hit 51 pages again...

So my copy of Assassin's Creed Syndicate has an issue that in order to fix requires me to uninstall the game and then reinstall it  :fu

Fuck freezing rain and sleet.  Scraping windshields ranks right up there with folding clothes on the list of pointless wastes of lifespan.

Life is awesome!

Nah, just kidding.  Got a flat tire, no money for a new one, no gas to use with it anyway, and a job to get to on monday.

Got my tax summary today. £2,000 of my £16,000 went on tax. Not counting Council Tax or VAT or road tax of course...

Why is it that I manage to have my birthday conveniently placed to be surrounded by project deadlines at this university?

If I was born a week either side, thus if I'd gone to any other university, it wouldn't be a thing. :P

Besides, I was about a month and a half early. :lmao

Me too; that job is a volunteer gig.

So then it's your own fault :p  Maybe next time you'll listen to your doctor and stay in there until your prescheduled due date.

$5 fix-a-flat actually works.
I didn't notice I had tread seperation around both sides and completely around, a rear tire.
My mechanic was impressed (and surprised I wasn't dead).
Still need a new tire soon, and tell them you've got it in there ; it's explosive.

So the wife and I really want to play Fallout 4.
But we'd need to buy a new console or gaming PC to run it.

She's been busting her ass working a shitty holiday job (including a long shift on black friday, which aside from severely fucking with her social anxiety brings up bad memories of the time she got stabbed by a homeless guy while working on black friday) trying to get some extra money while I bust my ass fighting with the bank to keep then from stealing my entire disability check this Christmas.

And now we're being bombarded with holiday ads for sales on the Xbox One Fallout 4 bundle that finally bring it down to a price we can afford...

(Y'know, if we skip paying bills and eat ramen for the next three months.)

...but we won't get paid until the 4th, when most of those sales are over. :banghead
A little madness goes a long way...

You might still be okay.  Stores burn a lot of merchandise in January to avoid paying taxes on the inventory.

IT"S A TRAP!

True enough. We snagged our current TV's at a massive discount a few years back because they were returns that somebody impulse-bought during one of the big sales.

Honestly the real problem is just having to wait with all the advertisements and chatter shoving it in our face. There's been a serious hype-avalanche since launch day. It's like watching TV when you're starving and broke and seeing nothing but ads for all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster.

The newest computer we have is my wife's laptop, which is a POS her uncle bought her for Christmas two years ago that can barely surf the web. Second newest is my laptop, which was halfway decent for gaming when windows 7 first came out, but hasn't worked the same since I was run over by a truck with it in my backpack. Bronze medal goes to our Frankenstein tower cobbled together from my 7+ year old Dell and her 12+ year old gateway PC.

If we're lucky, we could reuse the case and some of the hard drives. :rolleyes

So...

I just procrastinated for...

Incalculable amounts of time? Lets go with that.

No, Amechra, tending to your kitten village and reading setting riff threads on rpg.net are not more important than A) Modern Algebra homework or B) sleeping.

It took me until after the deadline to work out what to do a multimedia presentation on (just a prototype, though, thank god). Instead, I... learned to touchtype in about two hours, and  went to the pub. It was my birthday at the weekend, but still...

Luckily, late submissions are accepted (and not capped, there's just a scaling mark penalty that, if I hand it in two days late, is equivalent to getting one question wrong on the exam). But still, why is it so hard to think of presentation topics?
