Whoever once said "no good deed goes unpunished" must have been thinking about me, because lately it seems that every time I do a favor for anyone it ends up biting me in the ass.

Tonight, for instance. I was playing a quick game of Teleglitch and planning to go get dinner after I died, when suddenly I get a call from my dispatcher asking me to please go pick up a trailer in a city I have never been to at a store I have never seen. When I had barely 90 minutes remaining on my all day clock that was ticking down fast. I hesitated, but eventually (figuring that it was important to show my bosses that I was willing to do this sort of thing) agree to do it, running out to my truck and heading out.

Getting to the store: no problem. Finding and hooking up to the trailer: no sweat. Getting out: a nightmare. You couldn't leave the same way you came in, and I wound up in a bad spot that took nearly half an hour to escape from without wrecking anything. Eventually I found the proper route out and headed back to base, but by the time I got there I had less than five minutes remaining. Three minutes to check in, two minutes to find the spot to drop the trailer...oops, I'm out of time. I can no longer drive without violating federal law. I drop the trailer, limp over to an empty parking spot (computer screaming at me to stop moving the entire way), and shut down.

So here I am, in a noisy warehouse parking lot, with no food, nothing to drink except bottled water, the sale I was looking at before I left will no longer be valid by the time I get a chance to go online tomorrow...and if I had just said "no thanks" to begin with this night would have turned out so much better. I don't think I'm even getting paid for that little errand.

...It took the human race 1500 years to figure out that the Bible wasn't a 'literal speaker'...

Er, some people still haven't figured that out. But that's not happy thread material...

there was speculation that the installer is 1.9 gb large since that was the size noticed during one of the live streams.

Holy shit. I just checked the calender, and the 4th is my day off.

The one day I get at home each week.

This must be fate

your forgetting murphy's law, the emails with the keys could get delayed, steam could end up slowing to a crawl on download or derp in general, if any issue apears then expect the starbound site to not work as many anxious gamers refreshing the site over and over again.

Shush you, shush! Let me have a slight glimmer of hope!

Yeesh. If it makes you feel any better, my Thanksgiving was spent in a truck stop eating fast food while recovering from a cold :v

It might not be Prixima's doing, you know. Sometimes a bad dream is just a bad dream.

So why not send Bibles into space? We have the technology. We have the printing presses. I would love to see mountains of Bibles on the Moon. I want to see lakes of Bibles on Mars. We could ring Saturn with golden bound Bibles that shimmer in the sunlight, testifying to His wisdom and His Glory. I want deep space probes that explode with Bibles in distant star systems and giant tablets that tell the universe of America’s dedication to God!

The description is beautiful for a reason I'm not entirely sure. Also funny.

I was going to post that in the Amazingly Stupid Things thread (as I find that sort of thing amazingly stupid), but then I remembered that we no longer have one

I'm pretty sure he's talking filesize. As in, how many megs or gigs it will take to download.
