One thing after another has been getting on my nerves tonight. Tried to make a pot of coffee so I could get some caffeine, and you know how sometimes a hot liquid will slide down the container you're pouring it from instead of go straight into the cup? The coffee maker decided to do that instead of going into the pot when the coffee was being made. Coffee all over the counter and no caffeine for me!

I decided to relax and let it go by listening to music on YouTube and browse Gaia just like I used to so long ago when I didn't have to stress over money and bills... Every time I load a page now some infernal advertisement for a third world's failed product pops up, maxed volume, and interrupts my music. THEN Gaia has the nerve to demand payment to get rid of it! I left a rant for them in the feedback forum and the third problem arose....

As has happened several times over the past few days while I'm performing acts on Gaia I have performed for years (forum posts, marketplace buying and selling, browsing shops) achievements pop up and lag my computer with a bunch of pointless flash letting me know I successfully pressed a button AGAIN! I'll let Foamy take it from here.

Achievements!
After watching the episode again I realized some content may not be appropriate for some viewers.... Viewer discretion advised, if you want to know what link I put up just type "Foamy Achievement" in Youtube. It should be top of the list and made by jimathers. Sorry, everyone, forgot about a couple parts in that one.

Sound like a really rough night you had back then. I hope things are going better now. "Neurotically Yours" was a web cartoon I really liked. It's been such a long time since I've seen it.

Edit: Pop up ads get on my nerves too. Especially when I was on my old lappy that was barely holding up.

A laptop is what I'm on, but I was directed toward AdBlock and that's taken care of it. Things are much better now, that night was just filled with annoyances. I'm enjoying good drink, eating good food, watching Doctor Who, and learning to design games.

Coffee is now made from a better coffee maker and tea is available once more as well. AdBlock has removed my biggest problem, those advertisements that interrupt everything. The achievements will always be annoying, but at least you only earn them once so it's easier to let go of.

After a short while most easy achievements will be "earned" and you'll see it far less. That said, I posted this in my journal (with more rantiness), and am glad to repost the important bit here:
gaiaonline.com##div.gaia-ad

That will block the ads, and ad blocks.
I love Ill Will Press, but how could you forget that many parts are not appropriate for those who are younger? That's half the enjoyment. There is probably somewhere that you can turn off the achievement popups, but they don't bother me all that much. Some of the achievements are annoying though.

I forgot because I'm used to it. I'm not in an environment where I have to worry about ages. At this point the only separation around me is people either being old enough to drink alcohol or not. So thinking of things for kids isn't that common. Aside from that, I remembered the rant part of that episode. Not the... 'demonstrations' toward the end.

Nice. There should be a spoiler/NSFW tag. I'd suggest checking out Ads Subtract too.
