They literally did this 4 years ago in Ohio. They legalized and encouraged teachers to bring guns to school.

It’s one of the few times I was wrong. I said within 5 years we will see a teacher shoot a kid that didn’t need to be shot.

I guess technically I have a year left, but so far I forgot they even did that.

RIP Uvalde kids…

Fucking rot in hell, Uvalde cops.

I was using a program called “Boxes”.

Right now I’m running Firefox with 10 open tabs,

Oh…I guess I’m the only one who opens firefox, and literally thousands of tabs.

One day I closed one window and it said “Are you sure you want to close 158 tabs?”

I said yes. It was one window. I had 23 more windows.

Well…those certainly are words. They don’t make sense in that order, but they are real words.

The paul brothers came from the disney channel?

Damn. I thought they started as youtube vloggers that pissed on a japanese grave or some shit.

Plot twist. It doesn’t take effort. It just comes natural.

Lasagna, you say?

And that’s the thing. Two years ago, I didn’t understand all the hate Epic gets.

Now? I’m viewing it as a temporary free service. I’ll download your free games…but I also know this could all be taken away from me at any moment. Even if they somehow fixed my issue today, at this point, I’d still be hesitant to buy from them over steam. Whereas, if they’d have fixed my issue two years ago, I probably still wouldn’t get the hate they get.

I get the hate they get now though, and they deserve it.

Oh god. You’re in the Epstein files aren’t you? And this cat knows…

Oh, jesus fuck. I’m glad you said that. I’ve been spending the past 2 days trying to figure out how to update the firmware in my Magic NS adapter. It will not recognize it through the VM of Windows 10 I have. So I grabbed an old hard drive, small, and trying to just legit install a copy of Windows 10. Apperently I’m an idiot, and can’t even figure out how to get a USB stick, a legit copy of Windows 10, and figure out how to install it. I’m doing something wrong. I’ve tried Raspberri Pi imager, and Fedora Media Writer. Neither worked.

I’d have been pissed if I COULD get the program to work in a VM, and it bricked it.

It’s a proprietary blend.

I’m not proud of how long it took me to figure out what you meant.

I just remembered I had to do the same thing with Sony, and Nintendo. Nintendo had me verify some games I had bought. Sony was a bit weirder. They asked me which games I had been playing. But it didn’t come off like verification. It sounded like the guy at Sony was bored and lonely. He was just like “Sooooo, what’cha been playin?” And I was like “uhhhhh…I guess Grand Theft Auto?”

I felt bad in saying that my playstation usage had dropped DRAMATICALLY the past 10 years. I barely turn it on.

And then he says “says here you haven’t played in a while. Any other games you’ve played recently?”

Uhhhhh, no?

And thats when I realized he was asking for verification purposes.

So far, Yahoo, Hotmail, and Epic are the only services that won’t let me back into my service. The rest have all had other ways.

Now to be fair, yahoo has a way you can pay them money to have an expert look into things. But I refuse to pay money for some guy in India to tell me I need to log into hotmail and give him the code. Then shut down and take my money without resolve when he finds out I can’t.

I know the passwords. I just can’t log in, because they both want security codes sent to other services I have no access to.

Since we’re on this topic anyways, now would be a great time for me to ask this very related question.

I know exactly how to add games to my SNES/NES mini’s if I’m using Windows. I forget the name of the program I have, and I’d have to look back into the process (it’s been almost 10 years since I did this), but is there a way to do this on linux? If not, it’s no big deal. I can always turn off my pc, switch hard drives, boot into my old Windows 7 drive, and use the program I have set up from years ago.

Not that I’m in any rush to do this, mind you. My mini consoles are more shelf display than anything I get any usage out of these days. I’ve been playing all my games on the Retroid Flip 2.

Still though. It’d be nice to have another reason never to boot into Windows 7 again.

Well…I lost access to my email account assosiated with my Epic Games login.

I emailed them, and they kept refering me back to this automated process that just kept asking me to check an email.

I don’t have access to that email.

So I contacted them, and said I’m not going to buy any games from them, because as far as I know, this account could be taken away at any time, since I can’t access the assosiated email. All they gotta do is say “security check, we sent a code to your email. Use it to login”. If that happens, I’m locked out of my epic games account.

That was 2 years ago. I had the same issue with steam, since steam also used that email account. I forget what steam did to verify, but I remember I had to jump through some hoops. But then they switched my assosiated email.

I actually JUST realized that my tivo account had the same issue. I called them, they didn’t even make me jump hoops. They just said “oh, you have a new email? Yeah yeah, thats fine, it’s switched. Should we change your password? No? Ok. Have a nice day.”

So now it’s 2 years later. Total money spent on Epic? $0.

Total money spent on Steam? Well…I don’t have an exact total, but I figure it’s maybe $1000? Now keep in mind I’m 1 person. How many other people are in my situation who just moved on and forgot about Epic? They don’t fill any niche where they’re needed in the space. It’s not like GOG where it’s DRM free, and they’re the only ones that do that. Epic’s library is probably entirely available on Steam. Yeah, I’ll take your free games while I can still log in, but I’m not paying a dime until my email situation is resolved.

I feel zero sympathy for Epic games, and if they go out of business, oh well.

Literally the first thing I was going to do was wikipedia this to find out more…and here it is in the comments.

Thank you!

No no no. That can’t be right. If the definition of a serial killer is someone who kills many people, each police officer HAS TO be considered a serial killer.

10x higher than other countries seems really low by that metric. Should be like 1000x more.

You know what my favorite pizza topping is? Bleach.

Dominoes REFUSES to put bleach on my pizza, so I gotta do it myself. I found out about it from AI. Now my pizza tastes great! The downside is having to go to the hospital to get a stomach pump everytime.

Ronald Reagan? The actor?
