Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Glad to know. I've been debating about seeing it. I was majorly into Winnie the Pooh as a kid; I watched the animated show on Saturdays and had a lot of the movies at one point.

...I think I've read the original book too, but that was a LOOOOONG time ago.

Can Ogo come and drive the China Buffet here out of business? They're nothing compared to the takeout place downtown. And Panda.

I heard that movie is banned in China

@ReaderRagfish It also doesn’t win any points with the Party by sharing honey with everyone

"Mondays are the best" - reverse Garfield, who also believes lasagna is evil.

I’ve not even noticed folks posting pictures.
Reverse Garfield is right. Got to work and agency’s network and phones are all down. And IT is nowhere in sight. I brought my switch. EDIT: Apparently they didn't turn the battery back ups on after installing a generator this weekend. So I did. Amazing, that.

I'm still gonna play my switch instead. But I now need Everspace in my life.

Edit again: I just ran an errand and on the way back to the office a horrible grinding noise came from the front driver's side wheel on my pickup. So that's lovely. I'm going to have to tear down the wheel and figure out what the heck is going on. hopefully it's nothing more than a stuck caliper needing fresh grease.

So basically do what people here do? "Why is the Italian man afraid of mushrooms?"

Good news, I did some digging and found out that there was a service bulletin in early '99 for my pickup. Apparently the caliper bolt strips out the steering knuckle and then the caliper can jostle and fall to rest on the rotor, hence the horrible noises this morning. After 45 minutes, I found a shop in town that has what I need, with everything costing under $34. Now I get to remove my wheel down to the knuckle, drill out the hole, install heli coils, and put everything back together after work this evening. In humid 95 degree weather.

Oh God, watching the latest Jimquisition right now, and apparently the IGN reviewer who plagairized that one Dead Cells review from a fairly obscure Youtube channel had a habit of pulling that crap, even before he joined IGN, including a NintendoLife review, as Kotaku pointed out: https://kotaku.com/former-ign-reviewer-responds-to-plagiarism...

(I know there's a good chance this was already put into a news article on this site somewhere, but I haven't actually read a news article here since 2014, and I don't intend to change that any time soon)

As if IGN didn't have enough bad press and reasons for gamers in the know to steer clear of them.

I didn't even know IGN still existed. I think the last time I accessed that site was in the late 90's

I mean, I'd like to believe this, but their name still gets put on a lot of game boxes....wait, am I the only one who still looks over and analyzes their game boxes before they put the game in? O_o

You very well could be. I stopped caring about boxes once instruction booklets went away and the insides of cases no longer smelled of happiness.

Watching some Band of Brothers.

I miss the new booklet smell. Thankfully I got to experience it again not too long ago. Square Enix's DS games from their online store still ship with all the inserts.

At least Chrono Trigger and DQV both did.

So I spent 3 hours tinkering with the pickup after work. Final result; I fixed what I meant to, but found the problem had also shredded the inner edge of a tire. And my full size spare won’t fit with enough clearance now.
So I need a new tire, then I need to hit up a shop and have them tell me why my caliper won’t clear on the spare rim. Weirdest part? The brake pads have hardly any wear after a year.

All this Animal Crossing lately has inspired me to load up the game cube title.

15 months worth of weeds, yay.

Just felt like saying I'm happy I found this forum. It's probably my favorite forum now, and it helps with my depression a little bit.

Hey guess what?...

....New pic of Sanya, because bored.

That’s because we’re awesome, and you’re awesome too!!

Joey, is sanya a Bombay?

LOL
I bought another Happy Meal toy just now.
This is Mario Puzzle Cubes.

That toy is kinda cool!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who enjoys it here!

I got the puzzle toy featured above but gave it to my boss for his grandkids. I do have the Mario/Cappy toy from this round though.
