Rayman Pirate-Community

In my case, this visit is going to determine whether the dog's going to need surgery or not (the visit from last time revealed she had a torn ligament...again).

tfw you get wrapped in playing the new Pokemon game for a few hours because your sister wants you to trade with her

Tfw you remember one of the UKs only exclusive celebrations. And yeah, I doubt many other countries would celebrate it!

tfw you literally get 2 hours of sleep and lay there for hours trying to go back to sleep while feeling awful.

tfw you get another email like 26 hours in advance saying "feel free to dress up" – I probably would if I'd had more notice, but where am I gonna get a costume by tomorrow?

Make a custom costume out of cardboard boxes, become the retro PC man.

Parents here used to often just cut up a bin-liner (black bag) and put armholes in it just so you had a black costume.

I mean I could, but I'd rather be Jade (with my BG&E brooch) or Elphaba from Wicked, but either of those would require more than 26 hours' notice to put together

Tfw you need to go find a body pillow maker to make your Rayman body pillow.

tfw you pull apart to take a look over one of your retro machines, only to discover you have a PROMISE EIDE card in there doing absolutely nothing, no benefit from the BIOS ROM either since the 2GB Compact Flash card in the machine is already fully seen by the system's own BIOS.

Either way, that card is out, and I got pictures of everything.

Tfw have too much time to do nothing, but not enough time to do anything.

tfw two of your dogs fight periodically and one of them bites the other one's ear, again.

tfw you only just learned that Hatsune Miku was the singer in Nyan Cat...

Tfw that might be my TIL of the year!

Haha, well I can't take the credit, I have synthet to thank for it:


Tfw you overslept but you needed it.

It is true that it’s a Hatsune Miku original, but the song used in Nyan Cat is a cover by an UTAU (basically shareware Vocaloid) named Momone Momo.

Compare this to the original song :

It sounds more robotic, as you can see. (The instrumentals also sound different, but that’s probably because of the sound quality in the cover)
Tfw you’re looking for an anime dub with subtitles, but there’s none…

Ahh, tfw you learn more about the wonderful word of vocaloid artists.

tfw you actually don't end up going to bed at a good time, again for the second night in a row. No naps being taken either. At least it's a Friday.

Tfw you’re not sure if you have a cold or not…

tfw you get confused to the point you have to sit there and think for a while. That's what a failing 2GB compact flash card did to me.

Tfw you wonder why Metalcore and Grindcore sound so different when they are both made up of the same components. (Heavy Metal + Hardcore Punk)
