bike

Faithful readers and commenters of this very fine site.

I present to you, Day 2 of the Holiday / Skeleton staff comment section fun bonanza! Step right up, drop a comment, take a load off (please, don’t mix up the two!) and enjoy this day’s festivities.

As you might have heard, I was the victim of theft yesterday. Yes, sadly, this magnificent bike of mine was stolen out of my complex. Which brings us to today’s topic, more or less.

Should you lose access to your precious Steam library, or whatever the ‘other’ guys use…How would this impact you? Me? I’d be horrified, all those precious Warframes and weapons and kubrows….And do you have a backup plan for this? I’m sure if your NMS were to be pinched, most people would be ok with that, hehe.

In any case, let me know below how things would go? Or just ignore the topic, and post a bazillion cat gifs

    Thats the one thing that bothers me the most about digital sales. Once their service stops or your account is hacked you lose all that money/games. And lets be realistic here. When somebody breaks into your house they don’t care about your physical game collection, they want that TV/monitor and gaming platform.

    I have more physical copies of games than digital. Though I would, admittedly, prefer to do all my games digital only, I don’t have the internet connection to accommodate that.
    So, to succinctly answer the Admiral’s question, losing my digital library would not affect me too much. Shit, but I’d lose Dark Souls 3…
    That in itself would be a farking tragedy!

        The only kind of digital insurance that currently exists is for businesses and their data. Nothing for personal stuff.
        It would be a very niche market. It could work, but then again, how many people would actually pay for it?

            Even when law dictates that they must have it.
            Taxis are, by law, supposed to be insured, due to the high risk they pose on the roads, and the injuries that could occur to passengers. The Road Accident Fund pays out millions due to taxi accidents each year.
            But by lost poll, not even 10% of taxis were insured. That was last year.

            Yup. It’s really expensive, so most don’t go for it. And no matter how much you try to tell them “but you’ll have to pay a lot more if you have an accident”, they don’t go for it.
            VERY few insurers will even touch taxi insurance, the risk is just too high.

            If the company still exists and they have a loss where they lose all their data due to nefarious means, then yes, they will be covered and their clients will not suffer because of it.
            It’s a standard cover for businesses that store loads of data by digital means.
            Well, at least it is in this country. Who knows what it’s like for ‘mericans.

    A) not a fan of motorbikes, but that is a damn pretty bike.
    B) so, exactly the same as if Kobo or Amazon books closes down. I lose my e-books.

    It does worry sometimes, that I “own” something that is actually just a license to use it whenever I want, in a convenient way. So, I can download Xbox Live game X on my buddies Xbox using my account and play it there, apperently. Great. But if Xbox Live suddenly decides I am not worthy, I lose that.

    Here is the issue for me: A lot of companies have done this type of thing, buy once and keep forever on our servers and sooner or later there is a charge coming, to host that. It costs money to keep my Games on Steam and Xbox and wherever, every day, every minute. They must maintain server hardware, server software, backups, crash recovery all of that for something I paid them for 5 years ago, once off.

    Why I’m totally afraid of digital library and purely online games…… Do you people remember Age of Empires Online, a great game with plenty of people pumping money into it stops for no reason.

    Now those people who spent hundreds of dollars into the game getting different civilizations and in-game currency cant use it anymore because you can’t play the game without running servers.

          I read that the creators went to a lot of studios. Everyone wanted to change it. Some wanted the kids to play a smaller role, some wanted the cop to be the lead character…and only Netflix took it without meaning to change anything, and that’s how it ended up there.

            I’m sure there are so many series out there that get ruined by too much studio interference. If they just let the writers and creators run with what they originally intended, it’ll be amazing and original.

    Serious question time: To those of your with “cousins and friends” that suffer from anxiety attacks and anxiety in general: How do “they” cope with attacks and the like?
    I’ll be honest: Mine is just murdering the poop out of me. Meds help a bit, and a shrink tried but alas…

      Had a few episodes with my sis where she’d go into an attack and her lungs would pretty much close. We’d basically just talk to her in a soft tone, rub her back, repeat that she’s okay. Not particularly useful but it worked.

        My 3 year old, same thing. Her tonsils were removed and she went hysterical every night for 3 days, for about 3 hours. The pain just got to her, could not deal with. This was last week, so very fresh for me…….

        Tonsils were out EXACTLY two weeks ago, to the hour

        One the 4th day, I bought Rescue Remedy and feed her a tablet every hour. Worked well!

      Also, try something natural like Rescue Remedy tablets.

      I also have Biral, but I find that it gives me headaches these days, after using it for years. Say once or twice a month.

      Over the counter stuff, but do not abuse. I find they just take the edge when my brain goes into “crazy” mode.Everything moves rapidly, I cannot keep up, sounds, light, touch, all proceeded too fast. not cool….. at all. Sensory overload.

      Try cannabis.
      The stuff in there that induces the relaxed state is naturally found in our bodies (cannabinoids). It’s always there to help calm people down.
      But they reckon that in modern society, the stresses are just so much that our bodies cannot naturally produce enough of the stuff to actually help.
      So if you can assist your body with more, it really could help.

            Thankfully I’m not like that. I go a full work day without a cig. If I feel that urge, I just suck it up and carry on going. Unlike some smokers that go through a pack a day, one pack takes me, sometimes, up to a week to finish.

            Also, I am ADHD and the smoking, through the different brain chemicals it has, masks that away nicely. So, without cigs, I am on medicine for the ADHD now. Would still rather not smoke.

            BUT, once a smoker, always a smoker. I still get twinges every now and again, something stressful happens, something bad, urge to smoke is there.

    New topic:

    As an example, the Admiral has had a bike stolen and said he is in process with insurance to get paid for that.
    If this was you, do you buy another bike? do you use the money elsewhere? Do you buy a PS4 / Xbox One and that hot new doll house / Mutant Turtles cave for the kid?

    Assumptions:
    1. Insurance pays out enough to replace said bike or car with reasonable replacement
    2. You do not NEED this item, it is a secondary vehicle or whatever
    3. It is paid off, or paid off to the point that insurance covers outstanding amount AND you have something useful left

    What would YOU do if something similar happened to you?

          I tried to do the first two last year, by getting the bank to change my Homeloan to AccessBond or whatever, get some money out. BUT then they want to increase interest rate by 1 % or more from what have now. Even though we fairly well ahead on homeloan, we cannot get money out cause is not access bond.

          Banks said new economy, different deals now, blah, blah, so we left that.

          Saving up (although just spent R32000 on fixing my car) for the Solar panels. second front room aircon can wait, we can use the TV room if it is a super hot day

            Effectively I started from scratch again and still managed to make something. I think I am, now, reasonably successful. Also, part (tiny, really) owner of a company again, but this time with several others.

            Although my car now is fast, very fast. It may be considered a half mid-life crisis car, with two car seats in the back, in sports mode, after a few minor, um, upgrades, goes from 0 to 100 in under 6 seconds. i know the Range Rover Sport is under 5 seconds, but my car cost a bucket load less than that thing.

            December 22, 2016 at 13:29

            I have a C320 CDI, Merc C Class. I love mercs. We own two C Classes, wife and I. Love them.

            Mother in law suggests that I buy, in next year, a small car, for about R80 000. Like a ford figo or something like that, very light on fuel, to use to drive to work and back. Her theory is
            a) save money on fuel (the c class is light-ish for a 3 litre v6, but not in city stop start, not at all)
            b) extend lifetime of the far more expensive c class.

            b) I am far safer in my car (s you’d be in the merc) than in one of those little deathraps – better brakes, tyres, handling.
            c) My car is less likely to be stolen
            d) I’d rather cheer up every time I drive than save 200 buck a month on petrol.

            So, point A, is not so bad. Although I much prefer autos to manual cars and getting one of those in auto is not always so easy/

    For those who want an awesome Xmas story, here’s a 100 word short story by Neil Gaiman. It’s called “Nicholas Was”

    Nicholas Was…

    older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.

    The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories.

    Once every year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. During the journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves’ invisible gifts by its bedside. The children slept, frozen into time.

    He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.

    Ho.

    Ho.

    Ho.

        Gaiman has a way of taking a concept and story you think you know and twisting it. He’s amazing that way.

            Brent Weeks

            He has two series out, one is complete, the other has just had the 4th book released (which my wife is getting for me for xmas, woo hoo!)

            https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/83c0c5dae3af1833b681019e5194b7821ac7992d781172b0bf02552f57de75fa.jpg

            I had the same thought when I first saw them, which is why I avoided them for years.
            Then a friend of told me read them, said they were highly recommended to him.
            Tried them, loved them.

            And now I’m busy with Weeks’ second series and it’s even better!
            https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b09e3faeea6c9aa8d06477be5a71b6f68bacab2fbc8d66248c5a965ef050f8fc.jpg

            These are the first three.
            Four is out.

            Also, EVERY single Raymond E. Feist book, e-book (not all) and physical book. Most of Terry Pratchett’s work as well. Need to get that completed, I think.

            Have no idea what the legacies of Lorien are.

            Some editing issues, but not bad at all. A little derivative, truth be told, but the author kept the pace going and was FUN to read. Fun. Um, but predictable.

            Warning, is fun, but has some issues. What annoyed me is the free ones were better edited than the ones i bought. Still, that said, enjoyed them as late night reading. Screamed through the new series in a week, up late with daughter after her tonsils were removed and she was in a lot of pain and screamed hysterically for hours for the first few night.

          LoL. Dude, I have nightmares where I’m being chased by Jason Voorhees. And as expected, he is hellbent on murdering me.
          And no matter what I do or try, I just cannot get away from him.
          I once dreamed I fought Death himself and snapped his neck. Jason? Ha! That is a beast I just cannot face!

      She sent it back, with a note

      “I am dressed like that. I look so hot, it is just ridiculous. You, however, get to sleep with the dog. Outside. Sexist pig. You know YOU are the one who is overweight, right?”

      *of course, I would never actually send something like that to my wife or any other woman in any form of suggestive or lewd manner.

      As an actress, she was awesome in Tv series Alias, but I cannot recall seeing her play anything else that I thought was fantastic. Just that. A shame.

      We loved Alias.

          Yes, me too. Just not in that picture, in Alias she had this sardonic smile that worked very well.
