[quote name="mitch079" post="12889118" timestamp="1440723699"]Livingsocial has that Sam's Club membership deal again for $45. The free food is meh in my opinion this time around as last time it included a free tub of salsa, a rotisserie chicken and a couple of other things that I don't recall.

Cupcakes. I think the membership was $40 but not sure. We hardly go so will not renew.

And now my MGSV CE isn't showing in my order status for what I can only assume is because I paid with paypal so it's already paid in full and not just a hold. I was going to cancel and preorder the regular edition but looks like I'll have to return and rebuy.... GODDAMMIT BBY

Thanks for the reminder on this, cancelled mine tonight as I found the other GC I used on my order. Just couldnt justify an extra $50 for the content since I have the standard game coming for $30.

Haha yeah I just remembered them when I looked at my post just now. I go there once a month for a few things but rarely do I buy food there, particularly perishables with a short shelf life since I know it'll go bad before I can finish them. I'll check out the electronics, drool over some big ass tv that costs too much, see if any games are clearanced, etc.

Barely checked out the sale, but it looks like some of those Arcade Archives games are 50% off. Not terrible if ya gameshare it, lol.

 
Started TWAU. Love the style. The opening is great--only got as far as Welcome to Fabletown tonight, but it's much more immediately engaging than TWD S1, I think. Feels good on PS4 as well.

Playing on an account that had that Telltale bundle for $45 a while back. Just set TWAU downloading and it automatically included every other game in the bundle. Weird.

Yeah, he's been pulling off some world class whoring. Magus, Nelson Tethers, Under Defeat, Until Dawn (has a early release boost that will plummet), Walking Dead Season 2, Life is Strange, and something called Parfait that can be platinumed in 2.5 hours.

Who was it that had their preorder of Avengers backordered from BBY even though they preordered back before the sale? What happened with it? Just noticed that mine is not only showing "backordered" but also still hasn't updated to the $20 sale price. I knew I was still going to have to call those fuckers.

I called and asked about both. The backordered thing is a system error apparently, and they said I would get a $10 promotional credit when it ships. If not I have the case number and will call em yet again.

So the novelty of Fallout Shelter has worn off so I decided to download a save that has 9999 lunchboxes... game is a little more fun now but I'm guessing I'll be bored again in a week and back to playing real games.

wait, fallout shelter is out? why didn't anyone say anything about it??

i read the thread. going to find this magical save now

 
So here's why condo living can suck.  My good downstairs neighbor sold his place about two months ago, and noisy millennials moved in.  They blast awful music at times, which is fine since it's usually before 11 p.m. on worknights, but they just got this fucking dog that barks ALL DAY LONG.  I no longer need an alarm clock.  And they put this sign on their door asking everyone to be patient with them and their dog - I guess people have been complaining to them.

I still think I'd never want a house, though.  I hate exterior maintenance/yard work/etc.

We have a membership at BJS Wholesale club. There is one near my job and not too far from were we live. We end up going there a few times a month. Sams is closer to the house but always a zoo. It also shares its parking lot with Walmart (and some of its customers). If we are out on a Sunday afternoon we might go in and get a roasted chicken and a few other things but usually the lines deter us from even heading over there.

I could go earlier in the morning before it is available to the general members but just don't. Nothing there really impressed me over BJS. Perhaps an option for a larger TV this Holiday season though.

If we had a CostCo that would be my choice out of the 3 though.

Yard work is the worst for sure. They arent common but I found a neighborhood of houses that is maintenance free. The subdivision has its own HOA and we pay $510 a quarter for free outside maintenance and irrigation (outside water). The only thing I have to do or pay for separately is trimming the big oak trees. They do everything else around the house trimming bushes etc.

Its probably easier to find neighborhoods like that in FL too cause: old people. My neighborhood is mostly older couples. But the strange thing is a few old guys still like to do extra yard work on top of what they pay for. Its silly. But I guess they are afraid they would die if they didnt go outside every once in a while.

fuck CAG ate one of my posts.

Yeah yard work sucks.  We did the apartment living and dealt with loud neighbors and barking dogs.  Bought a house last year.  Had several medium sized unexpected repairs.  Broke two lawn mowers (one was my fault hit a stump or rock).  Getting one of them back Sunday or Monday.  Still had to deal with a barking dog over the fall/winter but seems to be better the last few months.  He lives like 5 houses away but barks like crazy when he is outside most of the time.   Brutal winter with tons of snow.  Not sure house ownership is for me either though.  Guess I have to figure out what I hate more.

My god I would have so much fun with this...

"For example, the birth certificate might say that Big Earl is a male. But what if Big Earl identifies as a lady who wants to be called Lawanda?
 
According to the procedures outlined by the folks at the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the professor is obligated to call Big Earl – Lawanda – or whatever name makes Big Earl feel more included."

“There are dozens of gender-neutral pronouns,” [the director of the university's Pride Center] declared.

For all you folks who went to school back when there were only him and her – here’s a primer: some of the new gender neutral pronouns are ze, hir, zir, xe, xem and xyr.

“These may sound a little funny at first, but only because they are new,” Braquet explained. “The ‘she’ and ‘he’ pronouns would sound strange too if we had been taught ‘ze’ when growing up.”

This really got me, though:

I reached out to the vice chancellor for tolerance and diversity (yes they really do have such a thing) – but I’m still waiting for him or her or ze or xyr to call me back.
There you have it, folks. His and Hers is no longer good enough at the University of Tennessee – where they are willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of gender inclusivity – including common sense.

I wonder if they’ve got a gender neutral word for idiot?

Any of you krazy kat metal heads ever heard of the long time Canadian band fuck the Facts?  Described as "bastardized grindcore"?

They're coming to town next weekend and trying to decide if I should blow out my eardrums or not, or as one recent album review said, the album hits you "with an endless volley of liver punches."

 
Pretty sure ASSHOLE is gender neutral too.

So its settled.  Hence forth everyone shall be called "ASSHOLE".

Depends on the location. I have been in a few (not really by choice) was helping some get their crap out of hock and/or make a payment.

If it is in crappy neighborhood I would PASS.

The two or three I was in didn't seem to have guns. Lots of jewelry. One had some musical instruments and a bit of electronics. The other didn't have as much just jewelry and some beat looking power tools.

I didn't expect to enjoy Peace Walker as much as I am, though my completionist approach is preventing me from starting Ground Zeroes until I can get as many PW trophies as possible.

I think my ranking of the MGS series would be 2 > PW = 3 > 4 > 1.

 
I have never seen a pawn shop in anything other than what I would consider a shady/shitty neighborhood.  So I guess that means they are as scary as I think they are and I will continue to avoid them.

I have been in a Goodwill a couple times because there are two of those that are not in terrible hoods.

My MIL had stuff in a couple. One was in an ok neighborhood. Not great but not horrible. Another was in a crappy city in a bad neighborhood. They relocated to a different town (Closer to me) in a safe area. But they were the ones with jewelry and not much else.

She got most of her stuff out and let the rest be auctioned off. It is too far for her to reasonable pawn more stuff at so hopefully we are done with that. I guess she could take a bus but I doubt she will. Hopefully another one doesn't open in walking distance of where she lives.

Aluminum siding and brick walls, windows with PVC outer shell, and gutter guards means that my exterior maintenance is $200 a year for a company to come pressure wash the entire house, seal, and touch up paint the wood trim. If they don't do it right and wood rot happens, they have to cover the replacement cost.

I pay someone else to do the yard. I wish I could get astroturf and not even have to do that.

I am guessing your association fees are likely more than my maintenance costs and I dont share any walls with my neighbors.
