    Needy Girl Overdose started to delete its main executable file randomly when I launch it through Steam.  I have the exe backed up now in full expectation that it will happen again.  Even the game itself is acting like a fucking tsundere on me.

    I'm guessing that's not intended behavior, but man I've never had something that weird happen. Closest was antivirus blocking GTAIV a while back due to a false positive.

    Was explaining to a coworker why I generally distrust media, pointing out specific examples of media corruption from basically its entire history.  I kept getting the response "well I know that sometimes reporters get little things wrong, but you have to listen to them to know important things."  Even though I didn't get into anything that was an actual conspiracy theory I gave up because I realized I looked like Pippa in this interaction:

    I hate that I clicked on that because now it's going to be eternally recommended to me forever

    Since Corv complained about the background, it got me thinking: how hard would it be to import modern art into Windows 3.1 and actually have a decent looking background?

     

    Answer: not very:

    To be clear, I didn't mean my statement to be a complaint

     

    But there's also a weird retro "low colorspace" boom in anime art right now so you can at least go off of that if you don't want to crush existing art pieces


  4. One of my favourite parts of Ross's Game Dungeon is just when he breaks down and rants about weird crap that crops up just trying to run a game on modern systems. It actually does make me concerned that over time things are legitimately going to be lost to OS incompatibility 

     

    That background is aggressively Win3.1 by the way, damn


  5. I can't really think of a catgirl that would count (since many characters are only tangentially cat themed or just adopt some cat-related quirks) and is worth arguing for so you know what, why not?


  6. We're saying goodbye to my first car ever, the 2000 ford mustang that was handed down from brother to brother until the very end. Of all of them, I adored it the most. While it was a pile of junk in all ways a car could be, it never entirely gave up on me. I will admit the most recent issue it began to develop, which is revving itself with no outside input and always wanting to go to 55 mph, was particularly concerning. I never really had any particular fond memories made in it, no high school kisses in the front seat or profound experiences or anything. The most fun I remember was driving home my brother and his friends after they ate way too much sushi and hitting every bump a little too fast just to mess with them. Other than that, a lot of driving to and from college, some scares when I thought it might break down, some moments of triumph when I fixed a little part of it like the A/C for one summer. Perhaps just the spirit of my dad always saying "when it that thing going to finally kick the bucket?" and me defiantly starting it up every time and it getting the job done was enough to have me come to love it as a car.

     

    Unfortunately it wouldn't smog (even with our profound processes of getting it to smog that worked for several years in the past) and we have a replacement '00 mustang in much better shape just literally lying around, so... It was a little traumatic to cannibalize it for some parts but now I'm going off to get it scrapped. I suppose I can rest easy knowing at least some bits of it are with me in the new car.

     

    Or I can stop being so dramatic because it's just a tool for moving from point a to point b and I'm replacing it with a nearly identical tool that has all the same functions as it. I did take a bunch of pictures and a video of it though so I can hopefully look back on it fondly one day.

    I believe furries also worked on the pfizer vaccine and on the A-10 Thunderbolt plane.

     

    People can cry all they want, but most furries are normal adjusted people with skills and other hobbies. They could be in this very thread.

    They could be you! They could be me! They could even be
