Just a head up, I will be taking the server offline in an hour to install some hardware upgrades. The forums will be down briefly during that time but will be back up soon afterwards.

One Christmas dinner is more than enough for me let along another one with the rest of the family. You have my sympathies

I ended up having 3 over the two days of Christmas (all with family)
Was fine mostly though other than it being really cold and having to drive a fair amount. Also lots of food

Unrelated;
Lol Iā€™m just ignoring the idiot who bought the FE vega now and it seems to be working. I think its because he knows if he tried to contest it I would win lolā€¦
But anyway is nice. Still going to wait until its been 30 days in any case though to do whatever with the moneys from selling the card.

What? Is he still sending you messages about it?

He was as of three days ago but I said basically;
Ive told you six times already no. The listing was correct and Iā€™m not giving you a refund

And he responded with yet another
ā€œHurrr durr the listing was still wrongā€

ā€¦ Iā€™m just ignoring the guy now rofl.

couldnt you just report him?

I already did lol. I could report him again but at this point I know exactly what the guy is doing. Trying to either a) get me to say something dumb
Or b) make me feel bad or whatever to give him a partial refund
Because he knows heā€™ll lose against me as is if he tried to pull a refund or whatever.

At this point I could care less either way :stuck_out_tongue: either heā€™ll stop bothering me or Iā€™ll win the eBay contestment

Also been playing a lot of assasins creed Rogue. Which is a really good (RPG?) Story wise. And the game isnt anywhere near as broken as its predecessor Black Flag is on PC so theres also that.

Probably will stream it after work today, not sure though. As I like to play through games first before streaming to get the full effect if that makes sense.
Suppose I could stream Empire tho instead lolā€¦ Hmm

Also I havent been streaming much lately because ??? Partially holidays partially me not realizing until too late that I hadnt streamed that day yet so.

Fortunately there are only 2 Christmas dinners each year. One with my mother and one with my aunt/cousins (cause my mother and aunt donā€™t get along).

And even better yet, thereā€™s not enough room for all of us to sit at the table, so I can take refuge in my room. Fuck, I hate this ā€œsitting together at the same table and eatā€.

I understand that one perfectly well lolā€¦ Some of my grandparents are getting old enough to have my aunts and stuff fight over where they should go and whoa boy that makes for some awkward family get togethers at times. Mostly its fine but sometimesā€¦

In any case I had fun this year which was good. Mainly cuz just stayed around people I like to talk with and had a few beers/drinks so. Also LOTS OF FOOD because is holidays.

The more people at a family gathering the higher the chance of a (verbal) fight breaking out.
Unless itā€™s my mother. Sheā€™ll take any random, legitimately harmless comment as a personal insult. For the most time Iā€™ve tried to mediate and explain to her that it was not meant that way. Now I donā€™t give a fuck anymore. Iā€™m tired of it.
Not that my aunt was any better, sheā€™s manipulative af and does nothing without benefiting from it some time in the future.

My family gatherings are pretty great now. All the shit parts donā€™t come around anymore for various reasons.

Drink and pass out before the shitshow starts?

That gorgeous font on the tuner scaleā€¦hnng. I can almost hear the deep voice of some late-night radio dj before putting on something that would be on a Tarantino OST.

We pretty much donā€™t have family gatherings anymore because they were always really bad and it got to the point that no one is even bothered to deal with it now.

i tend to have 4 or 5 family gatherings but most of them go fairly well. Only bad thing is my uncles wife who is a complete bitch.

Thereā€™s always one like that. my mothers cousin likes stirrup shit between people. even accused my sister of causing trouble and almost phoned the police on her when she was literally 10 miles away from where she said it happened at the time.
