Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@mookysam I wasn't complaining.

That was a genuine thanks to the tax system for existing and (In many ways) keeping me in work.

@Knuckles-Fajita Ah okay, sorry for misunderstanding.

Did you decide on an Xbox One X?

@mookysam It's fine. Seems that not only does intentional sarcasm not come across....other things can be taken as sarcasm when they aren't meant to be! The internet is amazing and English is hilariously limited!

But if I wasn't paying taxes I wouldn't be able to get this upcoming referral (Slowly, admittedly) that if it leads to a solution means I can work more! Thus earn more. Hence, I like taxes.

And...well I'm keeping it a secret as to what I bought. I realise now that it IS Xbox One X price. No it's something I already have two of and now I think about it can't really mention here.

@Knuckles-Fajita Why can't you talk about a 'gaming console' in the chit chat thread? And why do you need three of 'em? Question, questions...

@Octane It would be in breach of the rules.

Ah, nothing like HR disobeying your availability and scheduling you on days off...

@AdamantiumClaws If you think about it the term “HR” or “Human Resources” is kind of ridiculous. Why do companies call the department that? Are there non-human employees there? 😂 It’s pretty offensive and condescending if you think about it. As if the company can barely acknowledge that we employees are even in the same species as the administration. Might as well call it “Peasant Resources” or “Resources for the labor down there that is made up of mere mortal humans” 😉

@Th3solution My workplace just calls it Personnel

@Th3solution I'm fairly certain that a few people at my work are not human. Or at least, they don't smell human...

@Rudy_Manchego Are you a veterinarian by chance?

Also, my new console is scheduled to arrive tomorrow! £458 better not be down the u-bend!!

@Knuckles-Fajita Hmmm, I wish. That might explain why I currently have my hand up a cows a#se. As it is, I have no defence.

£458? There is only one console it could be. Gold plated OG PS Vita. #pimpmyportable

@Rudy_Manchego They had that on QVC once, along with cubic zirconia encrusted Game Boys and a fabulous offer on a vacuum cleaner that doubles as a refrigerator. All for the low price of £459.99. Yes, £459.99. Plus P&P.

@Rudy_Manchego Didn't realise you went so far to get your steaks.

No it's not a Vita...I really have no business owning one of those. Maybe one day for retro sake.

I mean it COULD be an Xbox One X. It's not, but it could have been!

@mookysam A vacuum cleaner AND a refrigerator? Sign me up.

@Knuckles-Fajita The downside is that nothing larger than kiwifruit will fit.

@mookysam Sounds like a minibar to me!

@Knuckles-Fajita In which case a PS4 Pro with a PS4 slim stuck on top.

@Rudy_Manchego Also no...why would I do that I have a PS4 that is now just my Spyro machine?

...Then I realise said thing I bought I already have two of...hm. Ignore that then.

Still, if things go to plan it should arrive tomorrow! Then work can begin

Still, it's an insane price for a console I could just go buy at any point on Amazon.

I bought a €500 console, but I'm not telling you guys what it is

@Octane Well, not really.

If you break it down it's actually kinda insane I paid €500 for this thing. It only offers one or two performance improvements (If that) over my existing models.

But due the site rules, I can't mention why it's so expensive until it considered "Not current".

@Knuckles-Fajita Did you buy a modded Switch?
