\nThere’s something about maids that lends itself easily to my fembot fantasies.\u00a0 And I discovered that if I paused the game while the maid was in the house, then built walls around her without any door… she’d robotically strut back and forth in sim-confusion… not knowing how to get out.\u00a0 It looked like a robot maid malfunction to me.<\/p>\nBut that got old too.\u00a0 The game was slow and hard to play on my first PC, but on the newest one I have, there are no problems at all.\u00a0 Hooray for modern hardware.\u00a0 And I noticed something too.\u00a0 I play this game so infrequently that usually each time I play it, I’ve reinstalled it some time after a re-installation of Windows.\u00a0 Today is the first time I’ve played it since the last time I’ve reinstalled Windows on that fast machine.\u00a0 And before that it was the same situation.<\/p>\n
My guess is that the next time I play it, I will have reinstalled Windows XP again and hence the game as well.\u00a0 Actually, I’m certain of this because I need to get Windows XP SP2 back on that machine instead of SP3.\u00a0 I can’t install the driver for my video capture device under SP3.<\/p>\n
Well, screw all of that because I’m going to bed now.\u00a0 I have another god damned week of work ahead of me.\u00a0 And I have to do all the work because the people I work with:<\/p>\n
a) don’t care about their job any more
\nb) are epically lazy
\nc) are lazy, stupid, arrogant and in dire need of being fired
\nd) new and untrained<\/p>\n
Yay.<\/p>\n

Anyone ever hear of a computer game called “The Sims”?\u00a0 I know, it’s pretty darn obscure.\u00a0 I bought the first version back in… oh… let’s check Wikipedia again… 2000. I remember I was reading about what a different kind of game it was.\u00a0 I found it appealing because I liked to design, build, and decorate […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,26],"tags":[365,366],"class_list":["post-1292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-video-games","category-windows","tag-maids","tag-the-sims"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1292"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1296,"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1292\/revisions\/1296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
