I'm really not used to having glasses on my face, as evidenced by the fact I somehow managed to get toothpaste all over my left lense while brushing my teeth.

I wish I was making that sentence up, but I really did do that and I don't know how or why, or what toothpaste covered glasses could even accomplish.

So I recently found this on my local subreddit: it's a map of traffic accidents per 100,000 people.

Seeing Venezuela topping the list doesn't surprise me at all. People over here have no respect for traffic laws. The fact that laws in general (not just trafffic ones) are rarely enforced doesn't help either.

So... what are you guys' favorite type of coffee?

Back on August of last year I used to only drank warm coffee and with plenty of sugar, sometime after I stooped drinking coffee altogheter for whatever reason.

What about you?

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

I grind my beans and leave the grounds to macerate in some maple syrup for about ten minutes before adding hot water. So gooooood.

French Press with nothing added to it. I like my coffee bitter.

About a year ago I talked about how my friend had a PC heat sink that he wasn't using so we put it into my tower and it fit perfectly and all that jazz. Thing is, my rig was still getting pretty hot after a feel weeks, and I was having some random GPU errors.

I've opened it up a dozen times, dusted it out with the force of a thousand cleaning ladies, plopped on thermal paste a handful of times, reinstalled my drivers more often than NASCAR, and that one doesn't even make sense. Nothing seemed to be helping.

Then last night I was poking around and noticed something.

Hey

This clip-on fan we put on the cooling unit that's really easy to move around

Is blowing all of the hot air right onto the fucking graphics card.

It took me a year to realize

FAN SHOULD MAKE HOT AIR GO OUT.

So I literally just clipped the fan off and put it on the other side so it blows out of the tower.

Computers, man. How do they work.

I got pinged by Psychospacecow on Discord yesterday. We had a guy half trolling, half seriously trying to get people to drink antifreeze calling it the Slurp Challenge, referencing Slurp Juice from Fortnite. What is wrong with people?

[Hexadecimal*]

If I created a Discord a server just for us would anyone be interested? So as not to step on any toes of course I wouldn't make it seem like it's affiliated with VG Facts. You'd have to PM me if you want the invite so we can avoid letting any riff-raff in.

Let me know, everyone!

[Kakariko Kid]

I'm all for it. The voice channels do get very little use, but the public ones are easily filled with crashers and then train wrecks like last night. I'm not worried about people being butt hurt by a VGFacts affiliated channel, but I get why you'd like to set up a separate one.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much lately. Entire small town was underwater towards the end of August when we got the most rainfall ever recorded and also it was my birthday and we were stuck at an ice cream place for hours before managing to make it to my aunts place. She was great and couldn't be more grateful for the hospitality, but jesus christ her entire house smells like dog poop and I didn't have my sleeping meds so I just stayed up all night watching Lord of the Rings followed by Dictator Documentaries (man that Stalin was one coocky cracker.)

Then School started back up and ayyyy this one class I've been dreading for two years is actually pretty hard. Well, not so much the class itself, but for some dumb reason we have these super intense weekly quizes that require memorizing a bunch of precise lines of code in an introduction course, so now I get to cram which has proven to not actually improve actual retention at all yayyyyy. The class is fine but seriously fuck that shit.

Oh and turns out I got kinda fat from eating whatever I want and not exercising ever hmmm strange. Not super fat just overweight, lost 10 pounds in the latter half of the summer though so that's pretty neat. I'm also iron deficient and my wrists have been giving me shit so that's less neat. Also starting up Therapy for the first time in a looong while in a few weeks because I've been having ridiculous anxiety issues lately and that shit's gotta stop.

So I've got some stuff goin' on, but I won a few VGFacts awards apparently, so that's pretty sweet :D

Hey!

I wasn´t here for a long time. You know, I have (suprisingly) a life. Getting ready for christmas and sweating my nuts off. (To clarify, completly unrelated to No Nut November). But, I also (if we exclude work) played a lot of games.

[Petie]

Hi everyone! Just passing through and wanted to wish you all a happy 2019 (ignoring the fact that it's nearly a month late)! Hope you're all doing well!
