I hate the dreams you have where you try to run but can't.

 

I had something Similar the other night except I wasn't running but my legs felt like they were vibrating madly and I couldn't get up or move properly. I can't recall if I was dreaming or if I was awake at the time.

 

Only part I remember is the above and that I was in my bed at the time. Spooky sh*t indeed.

 

Sleep paralysis. Could've led to astral projection.

I had a Major F*ckup while fixing something with my computer and ended up rolling back the current driver by accident *Whoops* What I got after that was the Microsoft Basic Display adapter which made the resolution and the computer lag . Thank goodness that there's a thing called "system Restore" and I was able to use that to fix my F*ck up and get my current driver back instead of the "Basic Display Adapter I lost a few minor files in the progress but those were not of importance to me because I either had them backed up or had no further use for it.

 

Might also add too that While looking for Computers using Gumtree (It's the UK? and Australian version of Craigslist) I can hardly find anything in my range and the moment I find something that's in my range / preferences .... It's way out of town and not worth going that far to pick it up. (Gumtree is more for Local pickups instead of shipping)

Ebay's also my go to site but the problem here is the same computers i'm looking for all ship out of warehouses the state below or above mine which makes the shipping option expensive.

 

Can't win can ya?

Rolling back to previous driver versions does not delete the later driver files. You simply could have switched back by looking up the driver list and selecting one. Windows update does it automatically most of the times on a simple reboot. Edited January 2, 2016 by Mister Kay

I once had a similar issue but with Skyrim's Console Commands instead. As I was fiddling around, trying to save Lokir, I always Target Hadvar using the console then "kill" him (he's Essential so he'll only get on his knees) - I do this just so I can target the guards behind them to ACTUALLY kill them, then use the Console again to set Lokir as Essential (but not until I click on him first), wait until he gets struck (he's death is scripted so), remove Essentially Flag, let him "die" then resurrect him and re-activating his Essentially flag again. Yay, saved Lokir!

 

Problem is, sometimes I use the TFC 1 command (Toggle Freefly Camera, the <1> makes the gameplay freeze or pause) as an attempt to skip the "task" of hitting Hadvar. Phial, that didn't work. Like an idiot I loaded a save BEFORE de-activating the TFC 1 command, causing the game to glitch out. Yus, I ruined the game and now I need to deinstall the whole f*cking game and resintall this sh*t again from scratch! YAY!

Sometimes I'll have dreams where I can't even walk. My legs are stiff and it's like there's an invisible cord stopping me from moving forward.

 

Never experienced sleep paralysis. It scares me sometimes enough to make scared to fall asleep so I just lay awake for hours and shake myself each time I feel myself slipping.

I watched this documentory called "The Nightmare" about sleep paralysis.... thn I got terrified I was going to suffer from it.

 

I'm fine though, don't worry about me. I've had those dreams though, like you are in hardening jello or something, can't call out, can't move faster than super-slow-mo... I think it's feeling inadequate or something. I once dreamed I was punching this guy in the face but it was such a tap, he just laughed and laughed...

GTA:SA seems to hate me. TWO F*CKUPS in the same goddamn Session. TWO!!!.

 

1): Seriously. It makes sense for Skyrim to crash (we're talking about over 70 running mods and counting, guys!) but GTA:SA? Like why? Anyway. Gone full on San Andreas on PC this day. Did all of OG Loc's missions, then jumped on Big Smoke's stuff. Finished them all up, excluding the final one - Just Business. Forgot to save. As soon as I hit the marker (outside.... whatever location you go to during Just Business), the game crashes to the desktop (CTD).

 

Go home GTA:SA - You're drunk.

 

2): Started: Revenge on the Clovers. Objective: Destroy all the Clovers you see in your path.

 

Wrong Side of The Tracks. Train crashed into Gang's car (as scripted), however in the next intersection a f*cking Clover went flying like a toser, right in the train's path. Bitch didn't explode but CONTINUED GOING LIKE A DRUNKEN BAITCH and crashed into me. I didn't fall off but I was stalled so f*cking much. Combine this with Big Blind's amazing (sic) accuracy I ended up failing the mission. f*ck

 

f*ck you Clovers. You costed me a mission, witch-elves.

A few weeks back, I installed GTASA on my PC (yes the Junk one i'm using to type this) and said to myself... "I never got to experience cleo mods or Multiplayer on SA so why not have some fun with myself?". All is well at the time because I had the cleo mods installed before I had the GTA SAMP installed. Well Around Thursday this week I haven't played with SA for a bit and I just find myself playing the same SAMP severs constantly so I uninstalled SAMP and all that was good I thought...

 

No your wrong, As I boot up SA everything is still working fine and i'm still on the 1.0 patch which is the modifiable version of the game (Modding above that crashes the game while it loads) Well I have a car spawner Cleo mod which I use to spawn cars with so I don't have to go on a wild hunt looking for car skins I've modded into the game. It doesn't work inside building interiors so I have to go outside to use it. I press "3" as that is the button to bring up the car spawner and nothing happens... Me thinking it's just a bug with the spawner I try some of my Cleo mods and I get no response from them either. I'm not sure about modded car skins as they are separate to Cleo (I used the GTASA Modloader to put Non Cleo Mods and Car skins into the game)

 

All of this happens because I uninstalled SAMP... Just great. Luckily I can just reinstall the game and back up my modloader files and back up the thing i used to downgrade to 1.0 and I should be back on a Modded SA in no time. When I can be bothered to fix that up then i'll do it but I've got other stuff on my dish right now and I took a break from SA on PC so it's at the bottom of my list now.

A couple weeks ago GTA V on the PC and it still crashed. Are you f*cking serious? You would imagine Rockstar would fix a lot of their errors by now. It's been 9 months since it released.

We have to keep our dog inside right now because it's cold out, and she peed 5 times today. Five f*cking times.

 

And she's a 17 year old Pomeranian.

 

She may be a tiny bony dog on her death bed, but apparently that doesn't stop her from peeing like a f*cking race horse. I go into the kitchen where she's tied up and there's a goddamn lake of piss. And to make matters worse, she peed her bed, which is in a crate in my room.

 

Where the hell is this piss coming from? I don't know, but sometimes I think she's doing it to spite us. Stupid dog.

Why do the old ladies at the shop give me evils everytime I buy something? Why? Stop judging me! Is it the noodles? Is that it? I can eat as many pot noodles as I please, thank you!

You can't though, you'd die of sodium poisoning.

Instant noodles are rich in sodium.

I spent an hour yesterday trying to activate GTA EFLC (I have the complete collection Disc for PC) and I run into problems with activating it because of the secure-rom crap, The release date checker would get to 30% and then say there was a error with activating it and to contact Secure-rom for help or assistance. I guess they weren't expecting people to play a 2008 game in 2016 for what ever reason so it took me a while to figure out that it was my system date causing the release date checker to fail (I only found out how to get the release date checker to work after going through a youtube video stating all you have to do is change your system date to lower and the release date checker will work and you'll be on EFLC or IV real soon)

 

Results - 1 hour wasted trying to fix the Release date checker. Did get to play EFLC shortly after, the fixed worked for me 100% and I wasn't grumpy anymore after I got EFLC to run

 

The video is down below so no one has to deal with the pain and sh*t I went through trying to get the release date checker to work for EFLC / IV (Note the video is focused on W10 but will work for other systems according to the uploader)

Being that rare person that isn't a stop and go asshole in traffic... Sorry mate... Scream at me from behind all you want, if you guys weren't so intent on getting right up everyone's bumper and being forced to stop because you're far too close, traffic would flow much better and I'm sure your clutch, and your wallet, would thank me if they could.

I wake up on new years eve to find that my internet isn't working. GREAT.

I check the router and I have sync to the ISP but no internet. EVEN BETTER.

I call the ISP and after 45 minutes, they find the issue. The issue is not paying my account for the phone line. WHAT?!?!

They tell me I changed my credit card details on their website 3 months ago. SO?!?

I double check my records to find my internet still being paid, but not the phone line. WTF?!?

I ask what the solution is? They inform me I have to apply for a new phone line, pay the owing account and move on. 10 + working days wait. WHAT THE f*ck!?!?!

Brain Surgeon Intelligence must be needed to see that I pay my bill automatically on one bill, but somehow it wasn't on the other. Wouldn't you call to sort out this issue?

Some bullsh*t I tell you.

I wish it was Telstra - it's Dodo.

No Australian call centre either and even the supervisor wasn't Australian when i spoke to her.

 

Actually now that I think about it, what a stupid name to call your company. Just asking to become extinct.
