1. My Master of Orion 2 disk doesn't work on 64-bit winders. 
2. Steam only seems to have MoO2 as part of the collection with all of the other games.  The original I can play on Dosbox and 3 is a bag of sweaty wank.  The pack is also thirty fucking quid.

Sod that.

So I guess I need a windows 95 ISO I can install on a VM just for one game ^_^

Try GOG. It should have MoO2 and you don't have to buy the others to get just one of them.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:

MoO 2 is not available alone but for less than 5 pounds you can get both 1 and 2. Not a bad price.

(I looked it up because I wanted to make sure I have it in my collection. I do. I'm happy. This just reminds me that I need to fire MoO 2 up again someday when I'm in the mood for a good strategy game and/or feel nostalgic.)

My back was stiff and sore yesterday. Today I'm having trouble walking. Worst part is I thought it would get better so I went into work. I feel not only in pain (not sure if what I'm taking is helping or not, but it freaking hurts!) but kinda useless. I can't do much lifting or reaching or stretching. Or walking.

Health problems.  I've been craving sugar, i'm constantly tired, and omfg my hands are constantly fucking dry however much lotion i use, it's fuckdiculous.

it's been going on a few months.  finally went to the dr today.  Apparently I may have thyroid problems.  They took blood for tests, and I'm going to have a thyroid ultrasound in a few days.

i just hope it's something that can be easily treated, and not TOO damn expensive b/c money doesn't grow on trees.

There's an FB page that highlights silly bureaucracy in Finland. I used to like it but recently they have gone from "look how complicated this particular thing is" to "SOSHIALISM IS EBIL AND THE GOBBERMENT SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE LIVES OF THE CITISHENS!"

...I liked the first season or RWBY but for some reason haven't managed to watch the second one yet. This is a common problem for me, I lose interest in things almost as quickly as I get massively excited about new things. My mind is weird.

Reboot laptop for updates...and the icon on my system tray for Dropbox is no longer there.  It physically takes up space in the tray and I am...assuming its working, but the icon isn't there.  What the fuck?

Fuck off with your passive aggressive, guilt trippy bullshit whenever someone gets irritated with you or, more commonly, doesn't immediately answer every inane question you have.  Sorry my coughing fit prevented me from answering your oh so important question of "do you like this kind of poptart".  You're just the most put-upon person on this earth, aren't you?

I'm not even joking; they literally pulled that "it's okay, you don't need to answer me" bullshit while I was still coughing.
