The Official Non-Gaming Hobbies Thread
Raining_again replied to Emasher's topic in General Chit Chat
Threads like this make me realise how little I do >_< Smoking Dying my hair rad colours/changing hairstyle Getting piercings Anime watching I was doing an HNC in IT but dropped out XD Not really a hobby, but a lot of my life consists of health related appointments. I suppose its a part of me. I love acupuncture =D What i'd like to do: Learn Japanese, study hairdressing (in the process) and get back into painting/arty things! I would also like to get into doing some exercise, but health isn't really permitting a lot of that at the moment. Hopefully when I get new meds I should be feeling a little more like myself -
Ah god that just made me picture some funny crime scenes XD Gunns are bad kids. Mkay.

Would we be better people WITHOUT video games?
Raining_again replied to Falcon_BlizZACK's topic in General Chit Chat
I feel a lot of people with... lets say, less sane temperaments would be more of a risk if they didn't let out their frustration on video games. Or a lot of walls would have holes in them. And all the "maybe we wouldn't be obese without video games" crap people spout... PFT, people are fat 'cause they are lazy, or eat too much. -
I watched hollyoaks today also! Brother/sister affair = Ew. harhar. (what have the writers resorted to, seriously o_o) Work was poo. Cant wait til the weekend

You ever had a hang over? Felt a bit sick/dehydrated/sore head, no biggie What does it feel like? Bleh. How often do you get em? Don't drink anymore What causes them for you? Vodka. Plenty of water helps when you go home. I drink so much that i'm completely full and it makes me feel better. Also not going to bed straight away after coming home helps.

Something's really bugging me and I don't quite know what it is. I feel like I should have done something for tomorrow, or I have something happening tomorrow that I need to remember. Its gonna drive me crazy... And it's more than likely nothing..ARGH Today i spent the majority of the day moving things and putting together furniture for my room. I'm now exhausted and ready for bed.. harhar

This man has the right idea. Let him get his head around his feelings and orientation. If he's new to the bi scene, he might be a little scared but he'll certainly come to you in time if he wants anything from it.
-
Selfish in that he really should have considered his and his girl's family.
-
Pretend nothing happened and let him chill out about the incident. Talk to him when he's feeling less awkward perhaps? Good on you for taking the plunge and trying to get what you want!

Guys can we not argue please. If you aren't interested in the thread topic there is no need to post. :/ Some people did love the guy. I grew up watching SMart after school and I loved it. Poor guy must have been pretty troubled after being accused of her death. I kinda thought to myself that its not good news after i heard he went missing..Now we know the truth
-
Oh jeez. He was so awesome ;_;

I prefer VLC too ^__^ I updated wmp and for some reason its all stupid and when its maximised it has the play toolbar thing at the bottom and there is like almost NO WAY of removing it. (Wouldn't be a problem other than the fact I can't see the subtitles.) I WANT MY FULL SCREEN AWESOME! *shakes fist* Also VLC is simple. I like simple programs. I am simple XD
-
Aye mine was the same, run for a good year. In the end I had a wire routed through the house because no matter what I did it refused to work. If you've had the dongle a while it could have just died..unfortunately. Dongles are shitty in general. An internal pci one would probably work better. You only need to reinstall the drivers for the wireless USB adaptor not all the network connections on your pc. (As some of them will be the wired port things)

Its a tight squeeze getting anything fitted in a small box My zalman cpu cooler was a near miss, just fitted and no more, and the graphics card I had planned to use was a complete fail. You actually get NO headroom in a lot of these cases, especially above the graphics card, a fan just touching above the card will not fit. Actually pics show more than words: The box itself - measuring w275mm x h230mm x d370mm. Split on two levels inside: Power supply. (dusty fail) Where the cd drive goes. The only space I had to put my psu cables. Graphics card: VERY tight getting this bad boy in. Big fan, also there is one behind the front casing of the box too. Hard disks on their side: and to the big finale: Literally no room above the cpu. Now my system runs okay(ish) can be grumpy at times! Spec: micro ATX asus motherboard (can't remember the exact model number) intel e6750 2gb ddr2 1066mhz ram 6600gt graphics card Hiper 580w type R psu. 160gb hdd EDIT: Heres the exact spec: Hiper 580W Type-R Modular PSU SLI/CrossFire Certified - Black ASUS P5K-VM AiLifestyle Socket 775 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz 1333FSB Socket 775 4MB Cache Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 XMS2 Dominator Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-15) E.P.P. & DHX Technology Heat Sink Zalman CNPS7500-ALCU LED CPU cooler Seagate ST3160815AS 160GB Hard Drive 7200RPM SATAII/300 8MB Cache Winfast PX6600GT (with a cooler added)

You'll probs find there's one on the back as well If you bought your computer within the last 3 years it WILL have onboard sound at the very least. TBH its not worth a seperate sound card unless you are stupidly picky about music, or you have a load of dosh to spend
-
Yeah, I don't understand why corrupt ram would cause heat problems tbh. It would just fail to work more than anything. (but its worth checking if the PSU issue doesn't resolve it)
-
I had a belkin dongle back in the day we had wireless and it caused me nothing but bloody grief! Sounds very similar to your problem. It just seemed to fall off my system and it didn't work at all... All I can suggest is to try and delete then update the drivers. Is your dongle on a USB extension cord or do you just have it plugged into the pc directly?
-
Have you tried taking the ram out that you installed? See if it functions okay. I don't see why it wouldn't, but worth a try. The power supply boxes can reach a fair temp. But it seems like that could be the cause... does it function okay without being plugged into the power?
-
Now you say that, I did think it was rather odd.. harhar. Thats awesome Sudden bursts of power make it more exciting ^__^ It happens to Ichigo in every battle. Think Madarame, Kenpachi, Byakuya (altho it was the evilness), all the Bountu, the Espada, random hollows, his evil other half... the list goes on!

Yay for red hair ^___^ Looks good! By the fact you have decent brown roots coming through you must have had the colour a while... The colour lasted fantastically ^___^ Red is indeed the colour of love <3<3

Job satisfaction is more than just money =) Can't agree more. A bad atmosphere in your perfect job (on paper) can still be utterly crap.

My sisters boss (a dentist) loses a ton of money from non-payers. It's just not worth it to go to small claims court. You pay more in legal expenses than what the actually value you'd get off the customer. Pretty abysmal!
-
I actually find now, that yes it is very sore during the process! (its about an hour long when you have a fair number of needles) But it has majorly awesome after effects. Its minimised my pain a lot and I feel very happy for it! Also really good if you have bother sleeping.. Totally knocked out every night after the seesions.. Its GREAT

I haven't heard that word in ages! XD I went to ikea yesterday and spent £244. Woo :awesome:
