It's not my birthday yet, but thanks :V

I can't tell if a vague email I got recently is a followup to a job listing I responded to or an entirely unrelated scam that just coincidentally seems vaguely similar due to the barnum effect.  Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Call the place you applied to and ask if they sent it?

I can't make a vuln. Haspen rolled an attack that occurred after my move and so my move is locked in :/

Sorry. Maybe next round.

Okay, here is a major WTF

Somehow, and supposedly merely by copying a bunch of images and video off of a DVD from a family gathering, my dad managed to fuck up his entire computer. Just about every single program now opens Windows Media Center. Twice.

Steam? WMC.
Internet Explorer? WMC.
Email? WMC.
Anti-virus? WMC.

Now I'm expected to fix it. I mean, if it were simply opening all image files in WMC or something I could probably change the default program settings to stop it. But how the goddamn hell do you get the computer to stop thinking that most every .exe is actually WMC? How the fuck could something like that even happen in the first place?!

Oh, that happened to my brother's computer once

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Microsoft's help desk was having me create additional profiles and transferring files over (except for a few hidden files) but it wasn't working and ahhhhhhhhhh

Group ownage in Rogue Trader:

We're on a world almost completely covered in algae, exploring an abandoned Mechanicus facility. We have discovered that some of the algae draws on the warp for sustenance and distributes it to the rest. We also discover that a daemon of Nurgle is either studying the algae or may be responsible for it. We decide to eliminate it. My astropath tracks it down, and we bring a party of armsmen with flamers from the ship to serve as redshirts cannon fodder backup.

So anyway. We find the daemon. The First Officer commands the armsmen to rush in and flame the creature, who do no damage, but burn away a swarm of insects that the daemon was using as a sort of shield. He then uses his plasma pistol to destroy a crate that the daemon was using as cover, which also reveals the heavy bolter at the creature's feet. That's when another player levels his own heavy bolter and unloads. He scores a ridiculous number of hits, many of which proc Righteous Fury, and one of those procs it again! Basically, massive damage. The daemon falls to the ground, seemingly defeated...and then it burns a fate point.

It rises on metallic wing and sprouts tentacles. Our techpriest realizes that this creature used to be the Genetor in charge of this facility. Everyone continues to unload on the daemon, though it has better armor now. It fires a single shot from its bolter at the armsmen, who immediately start melting and dying to some horribly toxic gas. The Rogue Trader, who is squishy and soft, hides behind a solid wall while shouting encouragement. I contribute by dealing damage for the first time this entire campaign, landing a solid shot from my archeotech pistol.

Round 2. The First Officer manages to rally the panicking armsmen, who proceed to chuck grenades at the daemon. He then seeks cover himself, lacking protection from melting gas. Heavy Bolter Guy unloads once more, not doing quite as much damage as in the previous round but still doing enough to send the creature back where it came from. GM then reveals that we had just taken down a frickin' daemon prince, and awards us 3000 xp. We shot from Rank 2 to Rank 4 in a single session.

Birdy: That's why we're planning to maybe have the NPCs take the eastern hallway. They'll clear it on their own good time, hopefully.

There's also the not-so-minor matter that, if we split up, this is unlikely to happen:

Yeah, we didn't manage much greensis funtime this go around.

WE WILL NEXT TIME

Or at least during a battle sometime. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN

Wolfeyez made french bread pizza!

You're a lucky man.

This was incredibly painful to watch.

Well, I know one Youtuber that I will never subscribe to. Jeezus.
