That Moment...

Aaaah, Kerbal Space Program.... Lovely little game. the hours I have sunk into it.......

 

I hear ya. Landed a small base and a mini skyscraper on the Mun.

 

I killed bob on my first launch. but that is alright, I've recently set up a base on eve. But sadly, I havn't managed to make a successful escape from eve since the atmosphere and gravity is so dense and thick (you need a LOT of fuel). My space refueling station is really nice (I've got one orbiting kerbin so I can refuel ships before leaving for another trajectory. Make's it a lot easier to travel to places that way.

 

I couldn't make heads or tails of that game, never managed to do so much as successfully crash. Utterly baffled by it.

 

TMW you realise that the only thing you miss about your ex boyfriend is their games console.

 

Just the console? Not the joystick? (sorry, had to be done )

 

Controller.

 

The secrete to my limited success is Alt+F12, it truly makes the game much simpler sometimes.

 

TMW mild Facebook drama almost brings out the shitty side of you.

Folks, if I ever act like an insensitive assface, you have my blessing to tear me apart and give me hell.

 

"insensitive assface", isn't that a promotion? I'm still "fcukface"

 

TMW you get a message on goodreads asking you to read and review a book by Author X because you read and reviewed a book that they think is similar to theirs.

The review I left for the original book in question was several thousand words worth of acidic vitriol. I hated, hated, hated that book so much that it turned me off of an entire subgenre within science fiction. I loathed that book, as I now do all adherents to the philosophy that was (horribly) espoused within it.

Author X really needs to do something other than spamming the list of reviewers of books in their sub-genre, I'm half tempted to give them the same treatment I gave the original offender, only amateur courtesy and a lack of time is preventing me.

 

Oh my god. I'd probably vomit.

Your comment though reminds me of eating something I 'thought' was pasta. I was at a wedding where the couple is Asian, I was assisting my brother with his wedding videography business at the time. Part of the contract he had included food, since we were there until the bride and groom went home. Anyhow, I grab some 'noodles' or so I thought from a plate and I'm happily eating them. No matter. One of the ladies across from me goes 'um, do you know what you're eating?'

I stopped. Looked at her, and then at the dish and I said, 'well I thought it was pasta, but I'm guessing by your response, its not...'. She says, 'um, its jellyfish'. I was like 'hunh, it's actually not bad and it does kind of have the same texture as pasta.' After that, I asked her what everything was!!!!

 

That actually reminds me of one of my pet peeves about people: I will never know why people get so disgusted when they hear what they have just eaten. I once made my friend try some 'sausage' (it was french "boudin" i.e black pudding). He thought it was very nice, then I told him what he was and he then insisted that he never liked it. What does it matter what you have eaten, so long as it taste nice? Take ants for example, they taste a bit like bacon brush is a slight coat of lemon (I use to practically be an incorrigible ant-eater as a young child). Quite nice actually. Mind you, I've had prairie oyster soup before (IMO not nearly as nice as it sounds), so maybe after eating that the rest is just a meh.

I've never had jellyfish before, I would not think it would taste like much honestly considering what jellyfish is. But then again, snails don't have much taste but i absolutely adore them (in a garlic sauce, mhmmmmm).

Also, if you ever meet anyone who lives in Australia, they will know exactly what a fly taste like. And it isn't nice. yuk. Plus sometime you get the nice big fat one filled with maggots for that extra juicy accompaniment. Bloody suicidal flying blow-flies that crawl inside your mouth for the slightest of reasons...... I once saw a guy accident swallow a horse fly at a beach in Wilson's Promontory..... was not a pretty site. Poor guy.

 

There was a show on TV a while ago (don't know if it's still going) called "Incredible Edibles" and it featured a bunch of kids (different kids each episode) trying weird food from around the world. In one episode, they made haggis, and throughout the entire process, they were absolutely revolted, and very hesitant to try it. But when they actually ate some, they all said they liked it, and they all had quite a bit. It's why I try not to judge food purely by what's in it.

 

This guy really has the minimal amount of gray matter to function
beyond just having a brain stem.

I am so glad no one offers books to me on goodreads. Of course I
am not reading much that is in the 'modern' section since most of
what I read is pre-2000s .

 

TMW a certain flavor is ruined in perpetuity. Anything and everything that's wintergreen flavor is effectively Pepto-Bismol.

 

My grandfather used to give us these wintergreen candies, kind of like Necco wafers. For some reason, I remember meeting him at Union Station in Chicago once, the smell of the big trains, the weird high/low rumble of the great diesels idling.

 

That Moment When you learn from Red Dead Redemption 2 that ‘geld’ means to castrate a male animal (or, in this case, a male human.)

Wow. And they say gaming can’t teach you things.

 

TMW you find an image that is both funny and cool.

 

Yikes! check out the view Chip has there!

 

TMW when you find out it was 37 degrees celsius yesterday. WTF

 

But you're in Australia. I hope you were wearing a nice warm winter parka - that's chilly weather there!

 

I mean, it's not like 47 degrees when Sydney was the hottest city in the world on a Sunday in January, but it's hot enough. It's not even summer yet, and before it was lagging in terms of heating up for the spring and then bam. The average high temperature for Sydney in December, which is summer, is 25.
Speaking of which:

 

TMW when you're so pissed off at finding mould on the rolls you bought three days ago that you just pull it off and eat one anyway.

I've been ill recently. This probably isn't going to help matters.
