I've rescued a pile of NES games from the garbage before. Thankfully, there were a few in there with boxes and manuals that my collection was missing at the time. The rest are dupes without cases/manuals that I keep as backups to not play my "good" copies.

I'm a bit of an NES collector.

Still really mad I really didn't have time or the space to bring my NES/SNES collections when I had to sell the old house. Thank god for emulators, but still, I miss blowing off those cartridges. I do like how you can get really cheap cartridges at bookstores like Half Price Books though.

I am sick of everyone.

On Steam, I've been harassed by several people for playing on ship 2. Well, I didn't know everyone would think of it as a shithole after the ninth. I didn't know all the friends who -made me join- would stop playing. I don't think it's a pile of dicks.

They actually killed my interest to play, so I went back to Getamped2 and worked on my guild there again.

Only to have drama with a new member being followed and attacked by a crazy ex who WAS my friend, but is just a d-bag who thinks the sky is puke-green now.

And I'm pretty much enemy of the world across the game for reasons I don't really understand now, because I was trying to convince an old friend to unbreak a promise they made to me a while back.

I have no idea. I keep getting a weird message about an adapter being disabled or broken.
I bought a a cooling fan but that doesn't seem to help either.

Had serious issues with my internet tonight. Disconnected multiple times from a game I was playing, ruining my progress twice (later times I waited the few seconds until internet came back and the reconnect worked).

In the game mentioned above, 2 days in a row I did something in game that would net me a huge reward if I had waited 24 hours. They can be repeated, but I have much to do in that game that I'm going to avoid repeating things I already did.

I had a headache when I got home from work at around 7:00 last night.

I went to take a nap and wound up sleeping for like 14 hours. This is not normal for me.

Also, I totally lost a night, which sucks.

That's your body saying "Alright dammit, we're freaking shutting down now because you're dead tired and you don't realize it, you ass!" Happened to me a lot in college, most nights I either slept for 2 hours or 12 hours. Losing weekends because of that indeed sucked. Or waking up on your couch without realizing you fell asleep there, to a guy washing your window on your apartment o_o; God that morning was weird.

Yeah, I usually crash on Saturdays, but I've been pretty good this week! I'm usually doing about 5 hours a night, but it had been more like 6-8 over the past week or so.
