Mostly complaining-about-Origin replies!

HA your tags

THANK YOU I confess I was proud of them.

lhs3020b replied to your post “Is there any phrase in the English language more terror-inspiring than...”

Oh no :( What have they broke this time, I wonder?

They certainly haven’t UN-broke group chat.

hornkerling replied to your post “Is there any phrase in the English language more terror-inspiring than...”

The little messages about how quick origin is while updating (as hours go by and you wait for the damn thing to tick over) are my personal favourite.

YES. “Origin downloads are optimized,” it tells you, as Origin’s one and only server hands your patch over to you seemingly one byte at a time.

jessaknits replied to your post “Is there any phrase in the English language more terror-inspiring than...”

The cackle that just bubbled out of me at this post was frankly a little disturbing.

I suspect Origin has provoked a lot of disturbing reactions.

onemooncircles replied to your post “Is there any phrase in the English language more terror-inspiring than...”

Wh-what? Origin is great and super and absolutely works very well and isn't terrible!

...

You may wish to block the “origin critical” tag so I don’t shatter all of your illusions. :P

pearwaldorf replied to your post “Is there any phrase in the English language more terror-inspiring than...”

mostly I love how you tagged it "origin critical" like there's somebody who might object that you're bitching about Origin :D

Like Moon? :D I dunno, maybe Origin’s loved ones hang out on Tumblr and don’t want to hear criticism... (no, Origin has no loved ones, it DESERVES TO BE ALONE)

"no internet connection"

THE HORROR WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

thisonelikesaliens replied to your post “Is there any phrase in the English language more terror-inspiring than...”

"i am a biotic god"

What could go wrong?

painterofhorizons replied to your post “Ugh, trying to diagnose intermittent crash problems is the worst....”

“Did I just fix it, or has it just decided not to crash right now?” is the most accurate description of me. Ever.

I had not MEANT this to be a metaphor but it really came out that way, didn’t it?

(Also, the answer was “it just decided not to crash right now,” alas.)

@pistachioinfernal replied to your post “Seeing the craziness that modding has been achieved on Mass Effect 3,...”

It's a cool idea :) What you'd need are voice actor sound alikes, or some clever editing of existing sound files to get the content needed :)

Yeah, that’s what I am thinking! With the amount of lines recorded and the crazy amount of variations of her/she, surely I can probably make some frankenstein line for the romances?

@stealthbaguette replied to your post “Seeing the craziness that modding has been achieved on Mass Effect 3,...”

Aren't the some of the soundfiles included, but hidden? I seem to remember M!Shep having the "I'M NOT DATING GARRUS" line too when you talk to Mordin...

Yep! Some romances make it easier because of cut content. I just wonder how hard it is to extract lines and implement them.

@onemooncircles replied to your post “Seeing the craziness that modding has been achieved on Mass Effect 3,...”

I know modders do this all the time with voice files in Bethesda games, but idk about BW games. If I had a PC copy I'd take a little look under the hood myself, I'd be interested to know if it's possible :D

Yeah! The perks of Bethesda making it super easy to mod. I think I have to hit up some modders, maybe the modders that did the Miranda Mod and the Same-Sex romance mod...

That’s exactly what I said on discovering the error. It definitely wasn’t anything furious and profane, no, what kind of example would that set? coppermarigolds replied to your post “Bad News: Found an error in our taxes Good News: Found it before...”

Hey, at least you've done yours! I usually leave mine until the day before they're due. And this year I have no idea how my filing will be different since I now have a house, so I'm procrastinating even more...

I’ve gotten into the habit of doing them over spring break because that’s when I seem to have time and focus free. (Though last spring break I think I did them while sick, which might explain the issue.) I’ve gotten pretty used to the house stuff - it’s not that bad, but it does mean figuring out standard vs. itemized deductions. I would offer advice but I am definitely not a Certified Tax Professional. lhs3020b replied to your post “Bad News: Found an error in our taxes Good News: Found it before...”

Well done on catching it now, though!

ferociousqueak replied to your post “Bad News: Found an error in our taxes Good News: Found it before...”

Oh dear! At least you found it though!

That’s a MUCH more glass-half-full perspective! Thank you both! pearwaldorf replied to your post “Bad News: Found an error in our taxes Good News: Found it before...”

Well, there's always the amended tax return. (I double-checked something the software didn't catch and ended up with a small refund!)

Yup, that’s the route I went down - mailed the amended one today. The process for amending a federal tax return seemed surprisingly straightforward, really. (The Iowa one was a pain in the neck.) And yay small refund! onemooncircles replied to your post “Bad News: Found an error in our taxes Good News: Found it before...”

My one hard an fast rule in life: never trust anyone who can file their taxes without making mistakes. XD

If I fixed the mistake, does that render me untrustworthy again? :D syzara replied to your post “Bad News: Found an error in our taxes Good News: Found it before...”

I avoid any form that contains an X >.< /good luck

It does seem like an ominous sign, doesn’t it? onemooncircles replied to your post “Achievement Earned: Taxes Complete.”

Congrats! :D Also, thanks for the reminder. >.<

spinninglenny replied to your post “Achievement Earned: Taxes Complete.”

A+ adulting, great job :-D

syzara replied to your post “Achievement Earned: Taxes Complete.”

that's an excellent thing to have done!

All of these congratulations feel slightly less earned in retrospect. :D But thank you! (When are UK taxes due, moon?) ferociousqueak replied to your post “Achievement Earned: Taxes Complete.”

*fist bump* WE DID IT

*weak return fist bump* We are just having all the solidarity this week. :) thisonelikesaliens replied to your post “Achievement Earned: Taxes Complete.”

that achievement is platinum

I think I might have to be downgraded to the molybdenum version. :D

@onemooncircles replied to your post “New bed is here! Adjustable bed to help with the husband’s back....”

Ngl, adjustable massage-bed sounds like the life I want. A+

well, we’re going to be paying it off for a while, so A+ is pretty important if it’s gonna be worth it :D

@indigorally replied to your post “I am really delighted with the new game like I bought an XBox 360 back...”

My Ryder children look nothing like the Ryder parents, and I honestly don't know what I did to mess it up so bad xD

I don’t think there’s any way to make it work? Mine doesn’t look like either of her parents, she just looks like a plausible combination? *shrugs*

@darthfruitbasket replied to your post “In other cleaning news, while I prefer canister to upright vacuums,...”

I feel the 'nowhere to hide the vacuum' struggle (we have no closets anywhere in this house, except for in the bedrooms)

ugh, I hate when places do that. CLOSETS. So important.

Stay safe!

Glad you're staying safe!!

ladyamesindy replied to your post “We are not supposed to get tornados in EARLY MARCH. (Everything is...”

*hugs* Stay safe!

Thanks to all 3 of you! We survived with no damage to anything but my evening plans... codenamecynic replied to your post “We are not supposed to get tornados in EARLY MARCH. (Everything is...”

it's like 30 degrees too warm here for the timeof year, EVERYTHING IS BROKEN AND ITS GIVING ME MIGRAINES

mynameiscloud replied to your post “We are not supposed to get tornados in EARLY MARCH. (Everything is...”

                   jfc wtf is wrong with the weather                

Just remember, folks, climate change is totally not a thing! Nothing to see here!

Now excuse me, I need to go explain that to the daffodils, who seem to think it’s time to come up.

(So sorry about the migraines, cynic, that sucks.)

the wonder woman stamps are BEAUTIFUL

I know! I was looking over all the stamp offerings going “Hmm, maybe... hmm, maybe... OH WOW.” jadesabre301 replied to your post “So last time I got stamps (several years ago - we really don’t go...”

HAHAHAHAHA oh charlton heston rest in peace man

The stamps would have worked much better for me if they’d used an image of Young Heston. Older Heston I mostly associate with his NRA days, and those aren’t memories I’m eager to go back to... kleptotello replied to your post “So last time I got stamps (several years ago - we really don’t go...”

Lmao! I have te Wonder Woman stamps too. My husband wasn't as big of a fan, but buyer gets to pick. ;)

They got a thumbs up from Clio as well. :) onemooncircles replied to your post “So last time I got stamps (several years ago - we really don’t go...”

Yikes, I think I'd need therapy if I'd accidentally picked up the first set. The new ones are definitely an improvement! :D

I feel like we’re in some danger of being haunted by Charlton Heston’s angry ghost, here... :D spinninglenny replied to your post “So last time I got stamps (several years ago - we really don’t go...”

These are excellent stamps, thank you for sharing them :-D

Any time! (I’d offer to send you a letter with one, but the ways of international postage probably means I’d need to stick the whole sheet on...) commanderlurker replied to your post “So last time I got stamps (several years ago - we really don’t go...”

Yeah!!! I still buy first day covers!

Oh, cool! I lowkey collected stamps as a kid - so, a long time ago. :) No idea where my tiny collection has gotten to...
