    Because last night when my one-eyed cat was sitting upright next to the base of my (black) tower fan, giving me a severe and unending frozen stare - for not sharing chicken with her - I threw my arms across my head, and screamed "the eye, the eye, please forgive me Mistress of the Dark Tower!"

    Welcome back, Mruntidy! :wink:

    This place is pretty quiet compared to the heyday, but it still gets a little traffic. I keep it around for nostalgia.

    A co-worker gave me a Harry Potter Hallmark ornament as a thank you present. When I opened it, I got really excited because it is the book Harry and Ron and not the movie Harry and Ron. My co-worker said I had shown my true Potterhead tendencies - one glance and I knew based on Ron's face and Harry's glasses.

    Because I'm buying miniature arcade games that are almost exact replicas except for the controls since they have to be bigger. Namco's making a series of them too and they're more expensive at 22.00 each. Plus i bought an audio converter for digital to RCA.

    I saw those! How are they?

    They're not bad. Turns out the 22.00 namco ones are meant for action figures and don't do anything. So i ended up ordering more of the playable mini cabinets. Most of them are pretty much those old school LCD handheld games from the 90s. Also bought some gaming tshirts, turns out walmart's got a bunch at a reasonable price. Just wish i could search by size.

    Because I am pissing away more and more hours on maxing the sphere grid in FFX-HD. I remember being extremely disappointed as a teen when I found out that the Dark Aeon bosses weren’t in the US PS2 version of the game. Now that I have access to those fights on my Vita, I’m determined to get them done, and holy *kitten* the required amount of min-maxing is absurd.

    I wore on my Periodic Table of Super Mario to the gym today and am waiting for more shirts.

    I accidentally found a shortcut to examining the results of finite element model, so many fewer steps. I then had to go investigate other possibilities of usage and capabilities.

    As much as I love science (despite my poor math skills) that went over my head other than finite and element lol.

    I'm a nerd because I walked around saying 'may the fourth be with you' to everyone I've interacted with today.

    I got a Switch just in case the court case for the controller design does lead to a ban.

    This made me especially laugh because MFP told me (in California) that you posted this on May the 3rd, which would be a confused nerd. Then I remembered that you're in Australia a day's difference :laugh: not so confused.

    Was surprised how many people gave me curious looks when I did this :bigsmile: I thought this greeting was part of popular culture by now, no?

    I promised not to spend anymore money, but Uniqlo released some cool tees to celebrate Shounen Jump's anniversary, so I definitely splurged. I want to post a picture, but I honestly don't know how to do that. 😅
