No meme is an island
By dint of considerable sacrifice of time and bandwidth, I now have three (3) games on my computer (not including Minesweeper and friends). Of these three, only two are playable at this time, as I have not run the AoC updater yet. And anyway, I’m not in a hurry to get back into AoC, because it crashes and that’s boring.
In fact, TR still crashes too. And, sure, no game is perfect, but I think the culprit is XFire. It tends to crash if I use XFire while I am zoning, or if I use XFire at the menu screen. And XFire can mess up the mouse pointer, and cause the menus to get stuck and… you know there’s a point where it can’t just be coincidence that “doing things with XFire” and “cold booting the computer” go together so often.
None of this is helped by my computer’s strange behavior when rebooting. Ever since I rebuilt the system, it sits there for about 30 seconds doing nothing before it powers off, where it used to just shut down. Sometimes it never reboots, it just sits there. Maybe my computer has allergies too.
Oh well. Nothing is happening here. Now I have to write another depressing song, and I’m running out of depressing life experiences… NOT! I got a million of ’em. Damn, that’s kind of a sad thought isn’t it? I need coffee now.
Peace out.>
