I have oblivion and Morrowind on disk but no drive to read them. New pcs don't come with optical drives by default it seems.

The cases are going for lights and water cooling. For opti-drives you have to buiild your own PC. Even then good cases with 5.25 bays are getting haed to find. Only option left is external opti drivse.

Pretty much.
Also I just realized I'm supposed to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival in the US.
Good luck. I don't answer the door, I don't answer my phone. Checking up on me isn't going to be possible. Have a nice day.

Mine was built to order. I didn't get the option of an optical drive.

Then I wouldn't have proceeded with the order and instead demanded to speak to the manager

Just buy an external DVD (or Blu-ray) drive that connects to your PC via USB port. I've not priced them in a while, but recall that they aren't (or at least weren't) all that expensive.

Optical drives are very cheap and pretty easy to install. There may even be usb ones, but I’m not sure.
*derp* Yeah what Decrepit said, lol

I need a blu-ray drive for the one soundtrack I have. Don't ask why they did that, it's Sony.
And I know I can get an external USB drive. I don't want one. I don't want to order anything ever again lol. I pick up 8 packages tomorrow...

No more Tradera though, as we all know by now. Hmpf.

I probably did but my brother said it was a "conspiracy theory"

Also, what do you use if not Tradera? And don't give me Amazon!
Sakiri
Nov 18 2021, 10:11 PM
It depends on what I need.
And yes, I do occasionally buy from Amazon.
I get shoes from Footway. Clothes from Ellos and Zizzi. Lots of craft stuff from Nordic shops. I bought a backpack, wallet, luggage scale, packing cube, mouse, liquids bag for carry on use from Amazon. I only buy from there if what I'm needing isn't available at a reasonable price in a Nordic shop. Got Mikael's phone, my Bluetooth earbuds and power bank from Komplett, which is where I buy most of my tech.
I've never used Tradera. I don't even know what exactly it is.

Oops.

How is that even possible? Do you have to build your bathing suit like a PC nowadays?
Sakiri
Nov 20 2021, 09:42 AM
Two piece women's bathing suits are often sold in separates. You can mix and match that way.
i found a matching bottom and ordered that as well as another tshirt.
Hate having to order stuff but eh. This was my own fault.
I think that I would have wanted to order a size bigger for the top but then I realized that's be a bad idea, I'd fall out of it. It's a bit tight around the body but the top is loose. lol.
Bottom got upsized though, just in case. And because I'm sort, it's gonna come all the way up to my chest since it's a high waist.
Ugh.
Fat, sort person bathing suit issues.
My other one lasted me over 10 years so I'm not complaining too seriously.

Remember, I'm not exactly from here. I couldn't tell you when the season starts. I eat the stuff when the store gets them.
They've also had lussekatter already.
mirocu
Nov 20 2021, 06:06 PM
Well, at least lussekatter are relevant

They do do a lussekatt in the style of a semla which is an elongated semla with saffron, and
that I can get onboard with!
Sakiri
Nov 20 2021, 06:07 PM
I've never seen that.
Also lussekatter = nom

Sakiri

No, no I can't.
Was working with my laptop a bit earlier though. Trying to charge my power bank and the cat is eyeing the cord like "snacktime"!
mirocu
Nov 20 2021, 07:49 PM
Probably more like "rip and tear". Cat has played Doom 2016

She gets plenty of food. lol
mirocu
Nov 20 2021, 09:06 PM
I figured. They never want to eat what you give them, unless it's straight from the package.
Also; just played game number 200 of Windows Chess on my backup. Really didn't expect to hit that number on it.

I'm tryin to figure out why my skyrim does this on my laptop:
https://youtu.be/kY28gz4JbAgWatch the menus. Can't select a save or a new save, and the menu scrolls waaaaay down to the bottom immedately.
https://youtu.be/CFcWdo7kGX8This one isn't mine(first one is) but it's the same bug. And I can't figure out how to fix it.
mirocu
Nov 20 2021, 09:30 PM
Weird. Reminds me of the bug I always had in VtM:B. Not similar actually but it still reminded me of it.
Sakiri
Nov 20 2021, 10:29 PM
I can't find a fix for this on google at ALL. That's the really weird part.
I turned off mouse acceleration and installed mouse software, but we'll see if that fixes it. I gotta try it later.
Battery on laptop was dying lol.
Found a new mask pattern I'm going to try tomorrow. I really need to buy more fabric so I can make other colors than lilac.

Dudette, get some real masks marked FFP3 with ventilation. If you're gonna wear a mask, that's the only (simple) one that is made to protect against viruses and it allows for your exhale to properly vent so you don't keep breathing it in.

Not allowed to wear vented ones on the plane.
I have to wear the stupid surgical ones.
This is less of a "this is what works" and more of a "this is the bare minimum I need to do to make people happy".
I don't plan on wearing them unless I absolutely have to. Making them, however, keeps my hands busy and I can give them to my sister(who wears them all the time, partly for work) when I'm done with them.

The vented ones (marked FFP3) protect the wearer, surgical ones protect others from your spit, nothing else. Which means everyone should wear the vented ones (marked FFP3). I guess it's once again only a matter of symbolism. But we better leave this subject now, we're dangerously close to the Forbidden Territory

So... sup?
