  • I’ll keep telling this story as long as it remains relevant:

    A few years back, I picked up AC: Black Flag in a steam sale but never got around to playing it. Well, recently I’ve been trying to clear my backlog so I decided to install it and give it a play through, because honestly the game seems like it would be right up my alley.

    Unfortunately, if you have not played the game on Steam before, there was an update at some point that makes the game unplayable. And I don’t mean it’s lagging, or there are graphical issues, I mean the game won’t fucking launch. It will ask you to log into your Ubisoft account, and then once you do, nothing happens. If you launch the game again… It will ask you to log in to your Ubisoft account, and the issue repeats. Apparently this is a known issue with no fix. If you’ve previously played the game on the PC you’re using, it will remember some settings and launch. But if it’s your first time? You are SOL.

    Thanks Ubisoft!





  • Are you saying that if I go to imgflip and spend 10 seconds putting text on an image; that I can… No, that I deserve to put my watermark on it? That my meme is so sacred, and so important, that I should make sure to plug my Instagram on it? Look at me! Look at me! I made a funny everyone! Please acknowledge me!

    If someone slaps their name on something that cost them next to zero time, effort, or creativity, then it’s not credit. It’s just a fucking ad.









  • The one that constantly pops into my head is where I saw a woman making ceviche. Except she didn’t add salt directly to it. Instead, when it was time to start cutting everything, she pulled out a 10lb block of pink Himalayan rock salt from her fridge “that you can get from any specialty salt store” and used that as the cutting board so the dish would absorb some of the salt.

    I was just stunned. In what way is that any better than just adding salt? In fact, it’s far worse since you have no way of controlling how much salt is going into the dish. And what the hell is a specialty salt store?!








  • This comic reminds me of the same gripe I had with the movie Click.

    The message seems to be “Life is short and precious, so appreciate every moment, because it’ll be over before you know it.” Which sounds nice, and sweet, and thoughtful, and is complete and utter horse shit.

    There are times when life just plain sucks. When it’s boring or tedious or even torturous, and it would be 100% worth skipping if you could. When you have a headache at the airport and have just found out your flight has been delayed by 3 hours. When your tooth cracks at 4am and you’re waiting for hours in agony until a dentist opens up. When you finished a long work day and just want to get home and collapse, only to find the roads are blocked in a massive traffic jam. These are not fulfilling experiences. You do not learn or grow in any way, except to become more tolerant to enduring unfulfilling experiences. Of course it would be better if you could skip those things!
