Safedisk wife perspective…

Except it would probably work if we were using Windows xp, which is completely messed up after the updates, but hey he has time to whinge about that instead of reinstalling windows xp and likely having it work right off the bat………

Stupid safedisc

Filed under: General — JBowtie @ 10:08 am

The so-called safedisc protection that publishers use is supposed to decrease piracy. Except, as most of you know, when it increases it.

We just spent $100 on a new game, and it flat-out doesn’t work with our CD drive. Why? Safedisc prevents the game from running. So now I’m looking for a no-CD crack that will work with the version I bought so my wife can play the game. And if I find a reliable source, I just might become a pirate.

I mean, why play $100 to buy a game I can’t play, when I can get a free copy that actually works? Don’t the publishers even consider the long-term satisfaction of their customers? Yes, that’s rhetorical.

First zoo visit

Filed under: Cecily — JBowtie @ 9:46 am

Yesterday was Cecily’s first visit to the zoo, and she absolutely loved it. She should have been sleepy (missed a nap) but for most of the visit was wide awake and fascinated.

I think the highlights for her were the meerkats, the pelicans, the monkeys, and the ducks (she loves ducks). She also got to see giraffes, a variety of colorful birds, and an otter.
