If it makes you feel any better, approximately 90% of the Americans who say it have no business saying it either, whereas with a Brit, it's kinda charming.

And I touch the case. Always before handling something, then periodically as I'm working, to make sure any build up is discharged. Had a bracelet for this, but lost it at some point. So long as you're not rubbing your feet on carpet or something static building, and not touching the delicate parts directly, should be fine. Latex gloves would help too I imagine.

It come out as y'uuwhll when I do it, lol.

I heard of one weird way of doing it, plugging your PSU into the outlet/plug (switch set to off, obviously!!!) and then attaching an anti-static strap to it and you.
Sounds like a good way to get yourself electrocuted to me, but apparently Linus from Linus Tech Tips does this...

I have Nitrile gloves.

I ask because I hopefully can consider at least moving my current rig to a new case but I am dead nervous about moving it when I basically have no non-carpet floors that have a surface that can hold the PC, lol.

I give you permission to say it. How's that? It is the best redneck refinement to the English language. You may also use "Dadgum" if you like, but sparingly.

That sounds like a posh accent, my dude.

"You'will?"
"Y'all."
"You...'ill."
"_Yuh_'_all_."

I've never actually heard of someone frying a component with static, even people who don't discharge on the case or PSU or whatever before handling them. I'm sure it _happens_, but having clean hands, or rubber gloves, seems like it would be a bigger impact.

On that note, I installed the I/O shield without slicing my fingers. Bask in my aura.

And don't wear a wool sweater and shuffle your feet. Wear your "trainers" if you got 'em. I keep the mobo anti-static bag for just this sort of occasion in fact.

My accent is all over the place. I was speaking to an admission councilor, and I caught myself with a drawl, Joisey slur, and nasal neckbeard monotone at different times. That said, I could not say "Dadgum" without affecting a comical accent for the life of me.

Mine faded as I got older, especially when I spent time in California. I made a concerted effort to recover it when I got back. I can now basically code switch but choose to sound like a redneck most of the time.

Also on static: Nobody at work bothers to wear gloves or discharge before working on computers (including very expensive servers). I've been there for 2 1/2 years now and have seen literally 0 instances of this ever being a problem.

Well thank you. :D
You cna have any cockney phrases you can think of and are permitted to use the stereotypical BRI'ISH accent.

Well I am more nervous because I am doing it for the first time. Switching parts that are not too dangerous like RAM and hard drives and maybe the GOU I am sound as a pound, but the very core of the machine...oof, that makes me nervous.

I mean, kinda.
I have mostly a "normal" english accent for the south. My Suffolk accent twinges in on certain words and phrases.
I can mimic other accents around the UK decently enough.
Try to ask me to do an American accent and you get a bad foghorn leghorn impression. Or just the "valley girl oh mai gawd!".

The Khan vs Morty duel we've been waiting for. I gotta get caught up on my Siege reading. I still got Saturnine, Wrath of Magnus, and Mortis to finish.

Stopped at a bar for a quick drink after work. Woman talked to me briefly on my way out, mentioned she was watching me. Curious as to why, I used a hand mirror and the bathroom mirror to see what my side profile looked like, as I'd never really bothered to. It was worse than I expected, and significantly more French. Which is weird, as from every other angle I look "American white."

The lesson here, boys, is to never look in mirrors. I would have enjoyed a minor ego boost instead of cold reality. We are all Icarus.

The time has come and so have I!

Someone leaked a screenshot of what looks like part of that reveal. Seemed like a hybrid of Dawn of War 2 mechanics and Total War army movements, _which is all I wanted out of the Dawn of War series dammit_.

So yeah, seems like they did spend the time doing a big overhaul of the gameplay.

Well, interesting. Not sure how you'd do a hybrid of DoW2 mechanics (which was small scale unit RTS with customizable special abilities) and Total War gameplay (large scale unit RTS with a turn-based strategy layer). I hope that doesn't fuck up the traditional Total War experience, which is what people are coming for and anticipating in TW:WH3.

Got my 2nd vaccine dose booked for tomorrow.

I am gonna be safe, I can be a little less OCD with this virus. Less wiping down everything with packaging with alcohol wipes before eating or after shopping.
Stupid asthma making me more at risk.
Maybe I'll even feel safe enough to go outside for walks and stuff without the risk of some CUNT getting in my face and spreading it to me.

It appeared to be a single, very large map (DoW style) as a quest mission, where you need to hold various points on the map for some amount of time, and can build dynamic defenses (barricade was the visible one), while holding out against (weaker than normal) enemy units, and some sort of friendly unit bonus/replenishment dealie.

Kind of like the Vortex campaign final mission, but with an actual map and more mechanics. The person playing only had a half stack too.

Seen a few articles about people finding it difficult to drop the safety recommendations as the vaccines have rolled out and restrictions have lifted. I understand why, especially people who were high risk, but I never felt threatened myself. Only worried about potentially infecting a loved one, and they're all vaccinated now.

Far as I'm aware, all the vaccines have 100% efficacy in stopping any severe corona manifestations. So even if you still have a (very low) chance of catching it, you're going to be absolutely fine after the shot.

Alright, new rig is up and running. Took the time to blow a shitton of dust out of the old once it was all disconnected, vacuumed the crumb collection where all the cables were, and dusted the desk. Having a more compact case is nice, I can spread my legs out now. Windows10 is rustling my jimmies with the amount of nu-software design and datamining they try to dupe you into, but it runs fast, so fuck it.

Now I can play the Personas and Story of Seasons! Heh. But yeah, seems like every new game in the near future I'd want is W10 minimum, which was my upgrade condition.

I just...man I think I have become a little OCD in regards to this thing because I was so at risk and it kinda just gave me an excuse to not be good for myself and fall into worse habits.

Oooh. Shantae and the Seven Waifus apparently got a performance pass and fixed the awful load times! Looks like its down to 2-ish seconds, makes it worth reinstalling.

If only Shogun 2 received such love.

@Maz: Peace of mind affects the immune system as well, in fact! That's more of less what the articles were implying, people are so used to the quarantine procedures that the threat of removal, "normalcy," is setting off anxiety. It makes sense, if in the way you're describing or not.
