I had those myself. Weather is unpredictable in ways some people don't pay attention to.

My pet cat runaway from the veteranians when I leave him with them for a few days to heal his wounded leg.

[Deathhappens]

Aw, that's terrible. Hopefully he can't have gotten far and you'll find him quickly.

Saw a grey-skinned dark elf on a light novel cover. She must be the only one of her kind in anime media.

Oh hey, they fired the Rick and Morty guy for being a pedo and creep, yet the show is continuing on. I wonder if they'll shift character focus, or just have some Venture Bros style clones come in and sound just slightly different.

Fuck the new line of GPUs are way too expensive. Fucking crypto farmers ruining everything, even after the only "profitable" GPU mining coin has been dead in terms of farming for four-ish months now.

Also, the audacity of Nvidia trying to release the "4080 12GB" as that. Shouldn't even be a 4070-ti, should be a 4060-ti if we're comparing it to relative performance levels of previous GPU generations to their flagships. Wanted to upgrade so I can give my sister this current 6700XT but probably not doing that anytime soon.

That doesn't have anything to do with cryptobros anymore. Nvidia just realised people really will buy even at absurd pandemic-level prices as long as they ensure no cheaper option remains (hence why they're cutting down production of the 3000 series early).

It has everything to do with crypto because Nvidia and AMD are still pricing relative to when crypto was buying them, despite the fact that crypto mining with GPUs largely died when Ethereum hit proof of stake Q3 2022 or so.

Ended up buying a 6950XT for ~760 USD with tax since it's within spitting distance of what the 4070-ti is doing and came with the current AMD game bundle that my sister will probably enjoy playing once Dead Island 2 comes out. Dunno how good/bad Calisto Protocol is, not really hoping for much there.

[LegalLoliLover]

She is also that, yes.

Also, a lesser extent, but Fena from Venus Blood Frontier, as well. Her first event with dialogue options is how to deal with a POW. Killing said POW obviously raises dark side points, but also Fena affection points. Sorry, but you have to die because my pettanko maid apparently jacks off to executions... And I like to watch. The jacking off, I mean. The execution is an afterthought.

Cryptobros are currently still stuck trying to offload their halfway junked 3080's and 70ti's, hopefully at as much of a loss as possible. They aren't going to be buying series 4000 and Nvidia knows it (I'm ignoring AMD because I honestly have no idea what they're up to). Team Green just hit a new level of greedy, full stop.

I'll take your word for it.

Never said crypto people were going to buy the new line of GPUs like they were the previous line, only that Nvidia is using how crypto would buy all the 30 series at whatever prices they could get to justify the stupidly high prices of the 40 series.

If a girl says that interacting with me feels like interacting with fellow girls, should I take that as a compliment?

If you're not looking for romance, yes? I think?
If you're looking for romance, probably a red flag. Crimson, in fact.

[Zurvan]

If you enjoy spending time with them as a friend, sure
Otherwise...

[Spartacus]

it's my girlfriend, actually...

[Nikiri]

oh wow

[DelRey]

good sign, imo. she can be herself around you and trusts you.

[Zurvan]

Sounds like it's working out for you then
