Sad to hear about your dog =(

Mutes I don't want to admit to 1500, let me live in denial and say we won't get screwed over this time. I'd actually be tempted if it was 1000$
I can safely say this because it won't happen regardless

New laptop shopping in 2015 when your 2012 laptop breaks is depressing as fuck. Everything is way less powerful for the same price than it was 3 years ago.

Ideally if you could wait a few months for around Windows 10 you'd be sweet as.

But if its broken now then not really.

Also is it me or do more people not understand appropriate volume. Or inside voices.

A little consideration never hurt anyone.

If it were me, I'd be looking for a new puppy. That's me, I just spent a year between cats
my ex got the cat
and it was painful. Also, the other dog will fret without a companion. Also, puppies are great. And having them lick a cut will help it heal faster.

in other news, I seem to be able to screencap off Stan. I have never managed to do that with other video services.

So I used a new CC on steam and had no issues, now today I get a message saying that my last purchase was with an unverified card. I click the verify now button and get direct to a page where it says that they've deducted a small random amount from said account and in order for me to verify I need to type in the exact amount.
Now the problem is that this happened an hour ago, in the mean time my pc restarted itself after an update and now I can't find that steam page any. Do anyone know if they'll charge me again if I follow the same procedure as before?

I'm sorry to hear about your dog.

I was in Taiwan when my cat died in 2011. She was almost 19 years old, and she'd lived with us since she was 7 weeks old. Not being there when it happened still fucks me up today. And on the two occasions I've been back in Scotland since then, the house just feels empty without her.

Sorry to hear holy:(

A relative's dog that I grew up with/ dog sat a lot during my life died recently - she had a heart condition too. I was still in Hong Kong when she was getting bad, but she managed to pull through until I was back in Syd for Xmas last year. Died a few days after I returned to HK:(

don't libraries have designated super quiet areas? go there for your quietness! otherwise, deal with less quietness that's probably semi quiet anyway!

Fuck. FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Atari blocks Jeff Minter from releasing TxK on PC, VR, PS4
Also potential to stop selling TxK on Vita. Fuck you, Atari.

I doubt it'll hold up current Vita sales, Atari won't attack Sony. They are going after the low hanging fruit, an indie dev.

If it went to court Minter would win easily, Minter can't afford that battle though and Atari know that.

Atari fucking suck, continued. Also fuck you to a lot of lawyers. Your business is human misery. Congrats.

We do have this, though:

2.13 million followers. A bajillion dollars. Hopefully he's able to put a portion of both towards Minter fighting Atari.

Wasn't it the new ceo of Atari who made some outrageous statement about what kind of games they'll be making moving forward?

This is on Wikipedia:
On June 22, 2014, Atari announced a new corporate strategy that would include a focus on "new audiences," specifically "LGBT, social casinos, real-money gambling, and YouTube."

To be fair, but in no way sticking up for Atari. Atari are only Atari by name, the company is completely different from what they were many times over, over the years.

I never had a VCS/ 2600 but the VCS-badged (ie larger with woodgrain inserts) versions came bundled with Combat originally, didn't it?
Click to expand...

I think so. Well when my dad brought one home in maybe 81 or 82, it had Combat and Breakout with 2 paddles and 2 controls. Wish I kept that woodgrain beauty :(

Ain't nobody gonna stand up for Atari in AusGAF.

I'm...God damn am I angry about all of this. I've written a lot previously about how Minter is one of THE biggest influences on me ever and it just fucking makes me so mad that Atari - the shambolic bullshit that lawyers and investors are calling Atari - are doing to him.

Minter's not rich. Shit, I'd be surprised if he was barely able to survive. And he sure as fuck doesn't deserve this corporate bullying. Fuck Atari.
