I liked the first movie a lot and enjoyed the original volume of the book, and the way they were developed in parallel was really interesting. It all got super extra unpleasant as soon as they went back though. I don't remember really whether the initial sequels are "good" or not, but either way both the second movie and the second run of the book quickly demonstrated that the property sure wasn't for me.

i have a real hard time offering praise of anything connected to an utter shitstain like Mark Millar.

Kick Ass 2 was okay for what it was, a sequel to a film that was okay, just okay. It had a good performance from Nic Cage while the sequel had Jim Carrey who decided he didn't want to promote it after one of america's regularly scheduled massacres.

Was Kick Ass 2 really that bad? I never got around to seeing it, but after watching the first movie again the other day, I'm thinking about it.

Why do you feel a need to label yourself for doing something harmless?

thats more than i look at on reddit

am I a basic bitch for only browsing the front page of Reddit?

I managed to find about 2/3s of my goal Sega Genesis collection before the last price bump

So relieved that I picked up most of my NTSC GameCube collection in 2010/11 before prices on the secondary market went bezerk...

I have fond memories of it since it was the last console Mario Kart that didn't have the ridiculous pre-race cart assembly

Like many Gamecube games, underrated

Double Dash is great. Just watch out for blue shells

I used a double dash on my mobile. The chat didn’t like it.

The mobile version of the site chokes on certain characters, I think.

what's with that punctuation anyway

Now where did that come from, Bass X0?

Politics and Religion — tools of foul play!

If you owe, you're expected to actually pay it at the time you file, before they even process your return

If you file electronically, I find you usually get your refund within a couple weeks

Well, lucky it took less than two months for me. For a little over 200 Euros.

Pretty much, yeah. Canada revenue will be all up your ass if you earn less than 200K and owe tax, but your refund is basically "duke nukem forever".

Whereas if you overpaid and they have to refund you, they will take their sweet time to let you know.

Like, here in Germany, if the tax authority responds to your tax report quickly, you can rest assured they want more money.

Do tax authorities in other countries base their time to respond to filed tax reports on whether they owe or are owed as well?

Check what the requirements are for your cad program, and try to beat them by about 20%, and understand that software requirements have been stable for a few years: not really keeping up with the advancements in hardware. Unless you're doing something SPECIFIC which requires ludicrous amounts of power, just give your self a cushion on hardware and don't bother going whole hog.

What I'm currently using is an i5 2018 Surface Laptop. My current desktop is all but dead. I think in the end affordability will win out over specs. I need to use CAD programs, but I'm a student, not a professional.

Okay. Whats the specs on the I7 and what are you currently using?

fun and games

Depends entirely on what you use the computer for.

Probably not

Do I need an i7 on my new computer?

Today's convention haul:

But it was Huuunnngrrrryyyy. What was I supposed to do?

But did you feed any small fuzzy creatures after midnight?

Shouldn't be. I literally just built it. Not even three weeks ago even.

Sounds like your computer's on its last lags, Wonko

Dunno, crucial says it's fine, gonna need a second opinion.

Good luck! (or break a leg if it's like theater luck...)

Alright. The damages now seem to include my primary SSD. Thankfully, the gaming drive (I have now lost all my games and mods entirely.) Let me wipe it and install there. Once the crucial utility is installed again, will verify the drive.

Three more crashes since I pulled the ram. Verifying the OS now... tonight might be a reinstalling kinda night.

And thankfully it wasn't totally dead, so it was working on occassion. If the problem is actually solved, I just need to wait and see if the program/system crashes are over.

Got it. I wound up running the memtest four more times, because of course it's always the last dimm. But I got the culprit. I lost 8 gig, but I'm still at three times the "recommended" amount.

DL and run MemTest86. It'll help weed out issues. Run 1 stick at a time. Then run a stick that passed in each slot. Will help you find out if it's the RAM or the slot/motherboard

How many RAM sticks do you have total?

Great, two weeks of random BSODs, and I manage to finally work out some ram has gone bad. Just need to work out which one(s) and then I can go from there.

*just stares*

My french is rusty but I'd guess Italienne-americain pain du sauce

What do they want "pizza" to be called? Crêpes superior?

Are they still suing Italian restaurants for having food that's insufficiently French?
