My new keycaps! They finally arrived and they are super cute!

Edit: I wish we had an [img width=value] tag for huge stupid pictures like this.

I can't even remember ever entertaining the idea of replacing keycaps on a keyboard, Misty, but I can see why you are happy with your new ones.

Katorone has offered hosting services for Goatbot, complete with FAR more bandwidth than I have at home, so a fully fledged Goatbot Release Two is looking promising!

The company was apparently interested and is gonna send me a technical test, for which I will have a week to fill in

Yeah! Bring it on, Dino!

Go Juno!

This thread has cracked me up beyond belief. The guy in here is so hilarious. Every post he made in it was awesome.

Shadow Warrior 2 finally has a release date, being scheduled to arrive on October 13. And, by all that's edged, bladed and righteous, I do crave some more Wang in my life!

The 2013 remake was something of a surprise hit for me, and the new version looks rather swell. Coop could be fun as well, sadly I have no friends* my circle of acquaintances sucks when it comes to slaying monsters for fun and profit.

* = Hardenbergian definition of a friend: "Someone who'll help you hide the body." By that definition, I have indeed no friends.

Ooh, nice! I loved the first one. Won't be able to play the second on my current machine, unfortunately.

This has made me irreparably and irrevocably happy today.

HoI4 hit 123 hours of playtime

My girlfriend visited me.

We've been together for almost two years now, and never once met in person because we live across the country from each other; our relationship has been entirely Internet-based. We met on Reddit, migrated to Chatzy, and then to Skype after she grew more comfortable with video calls.

Last Friday night we finally met for the first time near my home. It was the most amazing thing I think I've ever experienced. She'd gotten a hotel room, and we ended up staying there together. Went out to eat several times over the weekend at various nearby eateries, played games at the hotel room, went shopping at different places like bookstores, and even went to the Tennessee Aquarium. Some of you may remember Josh mentioning going there a couple years ago. It was absolutely awesome: stingrays, a huge butterfly-filled greenhouse, giant sea turtles, sharks, jellyfish, river otters and more.
Despite everyone I've known saying "people you meet online are different in person", I have to disagree. My girlfriend turned out to be exactly the sweet lass I'd met online two years ago, and the weekend was near-constant bliss. There wasn't a single awkward moment or unwelcome revelation. I don't really think I've ever been happier. She's gone again now, back to where she lives, but the feeling still lingers. I hope we'll get to meet up again soon.

Reading Talvieno's wonderful time with his lovely girlfriend certainly made my day.

Very happy for you both.
