Insane behavior on your part.

I've been a great fan of your clownery over the years, but you've lost me with this storyline.

The writing's really gone downhill this season.

I thought it was just knowingly implied that I saved the mouse, and now we're going on adventures in the walls, looking for copper.

Found the mice nest, along with what I assume to be its/their food source. Years ago I found an interesting hack of filling socks with rice and sticking them into one's shoes when they get wet to help them dry out. And since I hardly ever have need for this hack, these rice-filled socks ended up in a part of my place where I found the mice nest. When I went to pick up one of the socks, rice spilled out, leading me to believe it/they have found it and fed off of it. So I sprayed the fuck out of the nest with apple cinnamon air freshener, since as I've said before I remember reading somewhere that mice hate the smell of cinnamon.

Other than that, I'm in the early stages of modding the PlayStation Classics that I bought for my nieces and nephews. I recently discovered a way to save a good chunk of space by converting Sega CD and TurboGrafx CD games to CHD and now I'm trying to round out the PS1 games.

:( I definitely should have opted for 512GB flash drives. Now I won't be able to add any PSP and Dreamcast games, and yes some games do run decently on the PSC. But I'm also looking into incorporating light gun games, DDR titles and possibly DOS and Windows 3.11 games, which will definitely require a larger drive down the road.

:cry: I'm also royally bummed that I couldn't get a third PSC for my brother, since he couldn't figure out RetroArch, which I got running on an onn.-brand Android TV device. I personally don't really have any problems, but I'm leaps and bounds more tech-savvy than most in my family.

:D I found these really cute Sonic plushies for Link and Zelda, which is great considering that I also snagged copies of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

I hope you like mice, because the way you’re trying to deal with them they are going to be sharing space with you for some time.

Let’s be thankful that they aren’t NYC rats. Those are like the size of medium dogs.

I wouldn't fuck around with NYC rats. Fuck catching it alive. I'll use killing traps. I'll lace peanut butter with arsenic. I'll send the evil shits to hell!

But tiny little country mice? Between the two remaining glue traps (I'll probably need to add fresh peanut butter), the live trap, the smell of cinnamon (and apparently dryer sheets) and blaring this at as high a volume as possible, I'm confident I can get rid of them.

:( Think I screwed up somewhere with adding the Playstation ROMs (around 200GBs worth), because when using the Project Eris Desktop App, I ended up losing all the games starting with N-Z. I think I'll just use the Desktop App for tweaking the box art (replacing art from the wrong region with art from the right region, swapping out squashed art from long box games) and adding the non-PS1 roms, as well as adding mods (Doom, Quake, Half Life, et al). I'll probably have to put in another sleepless night. But I'm off all day Wednesday-Saturday, but obviously I need both PlayStation Classics modded, ready to go and wrapped by Friday.
