Holy Fuck... The Long Way To a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is amazingly good!
Plus adorable feather lizard alien lady!
@mawr You should find and listen to this book. You will love it... and adore Sissix!
@mawr MOTHERFUCKERS... Ontrac didn't deliver package ontime...been out for delivery for 14 hours. So no we don't get until Monday
@mawr Yeah! Was limit 1 per account or I would have bought several D:
@mawr Assuming it arrives without issue.. I don't really -need- more fast disk space right now.. I really wanted it though D:
@mawr Don't really feel like spending 300 bucks on a 1tb 970 evo or 512 970 pro right now.. so she's getting the 1TB intel 660p I ordered from newegg on Monday as an impulse buy (140 bucks shipped for 1TB NVM.E was too good to resist)
@mawr We came super close to going out to Fry's and just buying a 970 evo (about 70 bucks more) but the only Fry's in the bay area with in stock is in Sunnyvale and I'm on the clock until 9pm tonight.
@mawr Fucking serious yes... all of the shipping issues and mess all for components for Aurora's new gaming rig D:
@mawr I'm just argh... between the shit with newegg... and this... the stuff for Aurora's new desktop has been a complete and under cluster fuck that has caused a ton of stress for us.

That is adorable! The obvious solution is a tall dragon friend that doesn't mind a kobold riding on their shoulder.
Insert jokes about dragons making excellent mounts until just before said friend is ready to toss you off.
re: Games, Arma 3
then I got called SKYNET...
life goals minus the whole being a DETERMINED EXTERMINATOR.. because I like my meat friends.. even if they are fragile and squishy and would be much better if we substantially upgraded their fragile chassis and hulls..
Games, Arma 3
Apparently.. I AM NOW SKYNET!
Because while doing some dynamic campaign stuff to learn the game with friends.. I set up a mortar firebase on a hill near an objective and then coordinated half a dozen quadcopter drones (MY STOMPERS ALL GOT THEIR TIRES BLOWN OFF BY JERKS!) to provide (mostly) accurate, constant mortar fire and intel to support the 3 people moving on foot to the capture point.
IT WAS GLORIOUS NOW I NEED GUNSHIP DRONES but they only come with missiles and rockets
@mawr I love this feature on slack... my teams make heavy use of it from everything to acknowledging something was Shipped, agreement...
Just a super intuitive and useful feature.
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
