Is that a good thing or a bad thing ?

I have too many fucking hobbies $:-\$

* blackhole giggles

Re-rolling DoS new game, Scarlette is the main heroine so I made her a ranged rogue. I decided I don't need any males in my party so I only allow Johan to join cuz of his Rain spell, until I get my own and then I employ another mage. Roderick became Rose and to make a pun out of it I made Scarlette into Scarlet. Rose is a wizard with a few awesome spells.

Modara is my main tank, and will be the only mellee combatant, I'll be keeping mobs at bay and if they chose to get close and personal, I'll unleash her and send a spider (probably has the best summon effect of all summoned monsters!) and I gave Johan another spider already, so 2 spideys and a woman vs whatever comes man

This game is so awesome, I missed Baldurs Gate and this is a rather good replacement.

Inb4 I didn't like the price of Baldurs Gate Enhanced Edition.

But I feel so conflicted because I want to do them all!

Time management FTW.

Time management doesn't work for me. I leave home for work in the morning, before the sun has risen, get home after it has set.
I usually get ~5 hours to myself a night, provided I stay up until midnight.
Then I wake up at 5:00~5:30 and do it all over again.

Weekends are no better. I'm normally busy most of the day, and in some cases, end up with less "me" time, than when I work during the week.

Woot, hurray for busy fast food places.
Got my meal, and change. I was supposed to get $5.65 change from $20. Instead I got $14.35 lol.

Hey, by law, once I leave the shop, they can't legally claim it back.

I leave for work at 9pm and come back at 5am, sleep 6 hours and do stuff I like.

So I ordered a second hand Cintiq for £555 2 days ago, went back on to amazon out of curiosity and realised the price of the new one direct from them had dropped to £25 above the second hand price. Got their customer services to call me and cancel it then reordered straight away at the new cheaper price.

Checked Amazon again about an hour or two later, the price has gone straight back up to what it was before.

I mean, look at this insane fluctuation-

So I'm pretty darn pleased :3

It's probably a data error and you exploited it wonderfully. Congrats

kurandoinu · « **Reply #19668 on:** July 25, 2014, 06:08:45 AM »

I find it very amusing that apparently their short code for that product is 'BOOBSVADDY'

Tiffanys · « **Reply #19669 on:** July 25, 2014, 06:22:37 AM »

I probably would've saved some (a lot of) money and went for something like this instead: http://frenden.com/post/69444810884/review-monoprice-19-tablet-monitor-wacom-take-heed

You should probably get a monitor arm too, it'll make your life much more convenient.

I didn't even want to point that out

kurandoinu · « **Reply #19671 on:** July 25, 2014, 06:29:00 AM »

I looked at the monoprice. It's pretty much not available here and the one option I did find was only £75 cheaper. So no, not really a lot of money saved.

Does anyone have a animebytes seedbox i can join? I find it annoying that even after seeding a torrent for 9 months i'm still stuck at 5k coins.

I tend to tell them that they made a mistake when I notice, even if I have to come all the way back to the shop, since the money which gets 'lost' is then often divided between the staff and they have to pay it. So taking the money results in them paying for it...

kurandoinu · « **Reply #19674 on:** July 25, 2014, 02:22:33 PM »

I'll let them know if they've given me too much change but I won't if they've not charged me for a product- like forgetting to scan a sandwich through.

Earlier this week, Dunkin Donuts accidentally gave me a free muffin... when I looked at the receipt later, it was no wonder it tasted so good. Free stuff seems to taste the best... XD

Agreed!

I've had coffee bought for me twice at work this week, which is an unusual occurrence!

Seedbox I'd share, no. But I can send you some Yen. What's your account?
