Testing Episode IV: A New Lament

[RogueIce]

I had much the same reaction when Subway discontinued their buffalo chicken subs the first time.

Then they brought it back.

Then they discontinued it again.

There's a new genre: http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Patriots-O ... bc?ie=UTF8

[The Spartan]

There is nothing available (read: suitable) within my price range right now. The *one* I found that was fell through.

And living with my parents makes me want to crawl out of my own skin. I have to listen to them complain for an hour (at least) every night while they watch the news. I can't go anywhere without checking out/in. I can't blink or not blink or blink differently without having to play twenty questions. Twice. And often thrice because one will forget.

I need my own fucking place again, goddammit.

[Oxymoron]

I feel your pain.

Christmas / New Year vacations was kind of a pain in the ass.

[RogueIce]

I just realized that I can literally count on one hand the number of 2015 movies I've seen (it's 4).

Man I just did not put in the effort this year.

[Oxymoron]

So, I might be able to go see a Perturbator concert

Train and the concert itself is cheap enough that I might be able to book a hotel night in a cheap chain establishment.

Imma look into that.

[Oxymoron]

update: I -am- going to go see a Perturbator concert.

booked my hotel night & train ride.

[joviwan]

You have to tell me ALL ABOUT IT

I demand satisfaction in this.

[Oxymoron]

It will be the 18th of February in Nantes, will feature two other artists, and if I understand thatright, we may get to listen to part of thenew upcoming Perturbator album.

[Oxymoron]

Nice!

[RogueIce]

So I've listened to "Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Instrumental)" any number of times over the years. But never with a decent pair of headphones on.

And holy shit there is so much more to this music than I ever knew

[joviwan]

Yeah, there actually is a *little* to the audiophile woo people (rightly) make fun of.

[Ralin]

Huh. I thought Shep scrambled his Email address and password to lock his account?

[RogueIce]

Huh. I thought Shep scrambled his Email address and password to lock his account?

I'm reasonably sure he's Facebook friends with Mike Wong, if not both MW and Dalton. So it'd be simple enough to ask one of them to change his e-mail to a legitimate one and then send a new password.

[Ralin]

Yeah, he is (I have at least one mutual friend so I occasionally see Wong posts), but I thought the admins couldn't undo that. With that being the reason why it was a favorite way of locking oneself out to make sure you didn't go back.

[RogueIce]

They can't undo the password scramble, but they can always change your e-mail address.

Since in most cases they won't know any given user's real e-mail address by memory, it's effectively a permanent lockout because they're unlikely to redirect the e-mail to a theoretically random stranger. That wouldn't be the case for Shep in this situation.

(also they may not bother in any event because of "they left in a huff so fuck 'em" mentality; but AFAIK Shep didn't leave over a drama blowup, and we all know DW has a soft spot for him anyway for whatever reason)

[Stofsk]

Haha Shep totally left over a drama blow up

[Ralin]

Haha Shep totally left over a drama blow up

Which one? I don't remember anything in particular going on at the time.

[joviwan]

I want to say it was because he was a racist and it blew up in his face

but I can't back that up.

[Ralin]

Last time I remember him being racist was that weird thing about broken glass in Testing, but I'm pretty sure he left awhile after that and he never suffered any consequences for it.

I actually forgot about that.

But I'll clarify for Stofsk that I was mainly referring to a drama blowup between him and DW/the staff (like when Poe got himself banned) rather than in general, though yeah I guess he probably decided to leave after that and it was a bit of a drama fest for a bit.

[Stofsk]

You guys must have forgotten when Shep nuked testing in a fit of pique or something and got called on it, he said 'screw you guys i'm out' and left

[RogueIce]

I did.

But I don't think DW would care about that so my post is still valid.

[Stofsk]

Shep didn't leave because he was banned, he left of his own volition.

Because that's how fucking deep he rolls
