I like all bears. I was just talking about bears yesterday and how I wish I could go to sleep and wake up in the spring. Then I was saying how awesome it would be if everyone did that. But you know there would be a couple dickheads out there who don't go to sleep and just go around taking everyone's stuff.

I lube this post. I want to hang it up in my cubicle.

I don't think it is false advertising exactly. It is a bit of burying the lead though. I thought the last time I went in that the burrito had jumped in price, but I really was not sure. So now queso and all the other stuff are not extra? I am going to have one hell of an awesome burrito next time I go then. Hopefully I dont have a massive heart attack while eating it though. I wish the price stayed a little lower and the guac was still extra because it is disgusting.

for me i only get queso... But I don't do veggies or guac, so I don't see why I need to pay for it... My local qdoba has a sign that says queso is now free... but it's not

I just tried not be all "mom-like" cause I know all you want to hear here is bs and jokes not more reminders. At least that's what I thought.

I think one of the rare things about this collection of assholes is that we're more or less real people. we dick around a lot and pick on each other and talk shit about video games or whatever but no one seems to back down from who they are and whenever genuine situations get mentioned I think most folks discuss it genuinely instead of with a mouthful of unoriginal snark.

please don't start avoiding acting like who you are.

It is still free though. Just because they raised their pricing structure to average out the costs of it, does not mean it is not free now. I would prefer the old method as well, but it is what it is now. I was one of the people that likely made it change. I loaded up on all the free flavorful additions (cilantro, jalapenos, 2 scoops of pico, extra hot sauce, cheese, and sour cream). Ill definitely be adding corn salsa and queso to the mix next time now though.

Divorce is bad not really because of the split but what that split can do going forward. Trust me being divorced is tough, you will always be known as someone who was a part of a divorce and it can be hard to find another person as a result. It effects more than just the two people, including kids and other family members. And usually it can be very expensive. So although it may be good because the marriage was "bad", I still don't see it as a good thing and there are still negatives.

Yeah, what a stigma that you'll share with over 50% of the population that has been married. Basically the Scarlet Letter all over again.
 
Hey Velo

Your girl had dyed her hair pink right?
How long did it stay in her hair?
Girl at work wants to dye my hair and add bright ass pink highlights or tips or something to it but sort of wondering how long it'll hold up :/

I'd ask her it but she seems like she'll lie about it since she's so eager to do it pink and not another color.
 
I got married when we were both 24. Now 12 1/2 years later and our marriage is barely hanging on. Severe health issues and other stupid shit happens sometimes. We're definitely not the same people we were back then. We're trying our best to work through shit, but it's damn damn hard. Especially with an emotionally fragile kid (because of the wife's health issues). It's why I sometimes disappear for weeks at a time, when major shit is happening. I do appreciate all of you though for brightening up my day with your stories (even the endless Destiny ones) and letting me make stupid jokes. Lube you all.

Depends on the kind of dye she's using. Make sure its the rinse out kind, and it'll stick around for about 3 or so washes. If you want longer get the more permanent dye that'll stay through more washes.

 
And since I just contributed to being a bummer in the best fun thread on CAG, I present to you this mode lightening GIF.

No, I want it to be permanent. I'm just sort of hesitant on pink because I don't want it to fade into pale pink blonde or whatever after only a couple of washes if that makes sense. I love pink, have wanted to do it for awhile, but since my hair is dark I know bright colors don't last as long. It's like when I had my hair dyed this purple red color, it faded like after a month. I mean the good thing is she could probably jut touch it up for me and I don't have to pay someone to do it, but still.
 
tyler's been awfully quiet this morning. I'm going to assume that he's feverishly making a bunch of postcards that just say 'you're an unobservant dumbass!' and mailing them to everyone that said they thought pharm was joking about the divorce.

No been battling with LastPass for the last hour when it decides not to save my updated passwords and I have to do it manually after getting locked out of my account and having to go through the reset process as well.

My friend had to put his dog down, but since it was for the best I congratulated him.

Haha that is funny.

Kinda related story, I was so happy when my grandma's dog died. Thing should have been put down forever ago but my grandma wouldn't do it. So it would just piss on the floor all the time, need to go outside every couple hours at night, couldn't see very well, etc. My grandma has trouble getting around so the fact that she had to walk down a couple steps multiple times a night in the middle of the night to let this stupid fucking dog out drove me insane.

I was SO glad when it died.

 
Against my better judgement I bought one of those $20 PSN codes for $17.50 from the deals section. that PCGameSupply.com site seems pretty shady. I shouldn't have done it, but I did. I did get a code and it worked, but I don't know. The email from them was masquerading as some official Sony thing, with name 'Sony Playstation' but address that wasn't Sony. Why? I'll keep my eye on my bank account…. Anyway, I guess I'll be getting Race the Sun.

Ah okay. Then yeah, you're probably looking at a little less time than when you had it dyed the purple red color. It all kinda depends on how she's gonna dye it though, and what types of dye she's using unfortunately. Still definitely gonna need to touch it up pretty frequently if you want it to last.

 
I kind of figured people would be sorry for pharm because of alimony and child support, but nobody mentioned that. Aside from pharm, who alluded to it by calling CK loaded and not having to worry about money issues.

I'm not sure, I know it has to be bleached platinum blonde first though.

I guess I could have bleached white tips after it washes out though, will probably still look ok...maybe. I dunno.
 
Vigilante said:
OK, so good news and bad news.

The good news: I got the "I Don't Have Time For This!" trophy in The Evil Within on my first try.

The bad news: I didn't get the trophy until after midnight EST and I didn't get any other trophies yesterday, so my trophy streak is now broken at 103 days. :cry:

Shoulda played a visual novel instead.

Its pretty typical to get the permanent dyes to last about 6-8 weeks before you have to reapply to cover new growth. Not sure on how long before it starts fading though. I know my moms gets hers reapplied once every month or two, but you can't tell as much with the fading since she's just covering the greys. Not as drastic of a color change there lol

*sigh* I have two Vita games that qualify (Danganronpa 2 and XBlaze Code: Embryo), but I didn't feel comfortable starting something else when I still have One Piece: UWR to plat and I've been putting it off while playing Akiba's Trip. :-({|=

evil within pros - question (ch 10):
I peeked at the trophy for chapter 10 for killing that chick before the elevator arrives and in the trophy guide they basically say not to bother without upgrading your weapons.

you folks have an estimate of how much firepower you have to throw at her to kill her? like I know the chainsaw guy is two explosives, a couple shotgun blasts and you're pretty close, safehead is two sniper shots to the mid section, but for her are we talking 'empty every gun you have on her and use up all bolts and parts on explosives' or is it more like chainsaw guy where you have to frontload a bunch of damage?

also, what the fuck is up with the stealth attack on the harpoon monsters? it just pisses them off?

this chapter is so so long. but really good.

It's an awesome game - if - you have people local to play with that would be into a sort of minimalist fighting game (it's all about timing and positioning, more than memorizing combos or chaining attacks).
 
Vigilante said:
Definitely. I finished Ch. 7, getting the "I Don't Have Time For This" trophy in the process.

that trophy literally took me 20+ tries because I didn't watch a video. after I turned the last valve I couldn't figure out that I had to run towards the camera to get out and I'd end up running circles in the previous areas while you know who filled the area with you know what until I was caught and dead.
 
I had blue hair for awhile, over time it started turning green, had to dye it a darker color before it all grew out. It was fun though. I also had a mohawk for awhile too.

Isn't divorce the norm now and not the rarity anymore? It seems silly someone would be judged by being divorced. Pharm hopefully it works out for you, you gotta do what makes you happy.

 
Also, good luck with this whole mess, pharm. As someone that grew up around parents that most likely shouldn't have stayed together (and likely only did because they were super religious), that's not an environment I would want anyone to force themselves to stay in, especially with a kid in the mix. Divorce sucks, but sometimes it really is for the best, so hopefully you can get through this without too much distress and come out happier in the end.

I don't have any idea what the answer to your question is. I just wanna talk about The Evil Within more. I figured you weren't supposed to be able to kill the lady thing. I shot and burned her a few times while going through the different sections, but who knows how close I was to killing her. I'm in Chapter 13. Forget what I said the other day about traps not being around anymore.

I happened to watch a video before trying it for the first time (I wasn't really spoiling anything for myself since I knew about you-know-who showing up), so it didn't take me nearly as long. :booty:

A lot of the regulars in here joke around with each other. We might say something about each other's masculinity or how smart they ain't. At the end of the day though, there's no hard feelings and everything is cool.

Why is that? It's because we like each other. When you're friends with someone you can say things like that and everyone involved knows you're not serious and it's just a big fucking joke. On the other hand, if someone who's not a friend says something similar all of sudden it's an insult.

So if you want to complain about people getting upset with you when you try to poke fun then maybe you should start by taking a look at how most of the thread views you and why.

(which I'm not even sure who you're referring to since lately you've been somewhat tame)


You know, I just caught this. Seriously? You're threatening me? hahaha... c'mon man....
Click to expand...
What a load of tripe. "We only make fun of you because we're friends". It's cool, though. I honestly never expected to get along with someone who refers to themselves as kracker. So carry on. I just hope you and papa smurf don't to start crying again whenever I make a joke.

And I wasn't threatening you. My point was that from the looks of things most of us are just some friendly, average looking geeks. I don't know why you insist on trying to being big and bad. I post like a chick? Because I don't wag my dick around in every other post? Ever consider that for once it's kind of cool not being perceived as the big scary guy (with dreads, no less) in the room? I'll be sure to inject some faux machismo in my posts from now on. You have a blessed day, kracker!

I'm actually starting to admire the trap placements. they're one of the biggest cheapest dick moves I've ever seen in a video game and it's so obviously intentional. they always put them in places where you're running from stuff or you're distracted by other traps or monsters and you have to choose - try to make the run past the explosion radius? crawl and risk getting caught? or retry and try to disarm the trap? except fuck you if you try to disarm it far from a checkpoint because the gauge is so finicky and the window is so small. you could always shoot it, but if there's anything in the nearby area you better believe it's comin for ya.

there's one in chapter 10 that's right next to a door that's across from two snipers. you have to either go out in the semi open where they can shoot through some thin metal and hit you or stand up and shoot them, risking the bomb going off. yeah!

AND THE BIG BLADE SPINNING AROUND THE ROOM. I thought 'good, these dumbasses will just walk in to it and save me the trouble.' then one of them apparently learned to duck and started walking towards me under the blade. fuck!

back to the lady - I might take a couple spins at killing her (she's good at teleporting past traps and the one hit kill is brutal) but I'm happy to pass if it doesn't work out.

this has turned out to be my favorite game in quite some time. it is deeply, deeply flawed but amazing.
 
I'm perfectly fine being considered effeminate, for the record. If people want to make fun of me for that whatever, I'm not going to change to fit a silly societal role as a manifestation of testosterone and masculinity, and if anyone has a problem with that they probably aren't the sort of people I care to associate with in the first place.

And yeah, I know that comment wasn't directed at me, but it's come up in the past so I figured I'd put it out there just because.
