Hmm, can't say I recall bitching and moaning. I just remember asking for something I can do to piss my brother off. Sorry you took it that way, I was never really good at explaining myself.Steppin Razor said:Also, since he's bigger and stronger than you, make sure to come back on here and ***** and moan so I can laugh at you when he's kicked your arse.
Oh yeah, I should totaly try that =DJ03bot said:This is entirely the wrong way to go about sibling rivalry. What you need, sir, is a training montage. Cheesy '80s power ballads, lots of scene changes, and a general impression that you're getting stronger over the course of it.
Then a climactic fight is needed at the end, as you show that all of your training has paid off. Who wins isn't important, it just needs to be close, and have both competitors learn something about life in the process.
Clearly nothing could beat this!J03bot said:This is entirely the wrong way to go about sibling rivalry. What you need, sir, is a training montage. Cheesy '80s power ballads, lots of scene changes, and a general impression that you're getting stronger over the course of it.

You never bitched and moaned, I was merely asking you to come back and ***** and moan when he beats on you because I would find it highly amusing. Your brother sounds like a dick, but has he really done stuff that makes him deserve you completely screwing over his computer system? Also, bare in mind that in the highly likely event that he gets any idea that you were involved with messing with his stuff, he'll most likely get inflict some payback. What you're really doing here is the equivalent of kicking a large, angry dog.ethaninja said:Hmm, can't say I recall bitching and moaning.

Although, I suppose if he really is crap with technology, then you could quite easily get away with this by saying it was a virus he picked up from various porn sites he goes to.
Sibling rivalry is a total *****. I'm almost always at loggerheads with my brother, and it gets to the point where I sit my parents down, and I literally tell them to do some parenting and discipline the guy, or I'll do it myself. My favourite thing to say to him when I want him to leave me the fuck alone is, "If I have to ask you again, it'll be with my fists". Hahaha, anyway, the point of saying this is that I can kind of relate to the position you're in. I'm assuming you and your brother are the only children in your household, correct?ethaninja said:I call to aid my fellow bretheren of The Escapist for help. Reinforcments if you will.
Anything else I could do to make this sibling rivalry much much sweeter?

Yeah, I always wished we could get alone. Hell we USED to be pretty much best friends when we were little. My family is not really a family. More like a bunch of strangers living under the same roof. He's a drinking, (excessive) swarer who throws a major tantrum when he never gets his own way and has no respect for anyone else except our oldest brother. Who basically could not give a fuck about anything that happens at home.Xylis said:Wave some magnets infront of his monitor. Totally fucks it over. (Whatever happened to siblings being friendly? Me and my brother are like best friends...)
We've been at each others throat for about 10 years now. One of us will do something immature which would get the other inflames and it would start all over again. The only way I see this being resolved is if one of us moves out. It's a sad story, but unfortunatly, I've tried being the good little soldier for about a year and it didn't do anything in the end.Stollos said:Sibling rivalry is a total *****.

In my experience, malicious acts NEVER end well. EVER. EVER. EVER. On your part, or his part. It doesn't matter. It will give you both a sore chin for a long time, depending on how serious the act is. Fucking up his computer will NOT go down well, I guarentee that. And what happens when he traces it back to you? And its not a matter of 'if' he puts it on your head, its when. This sort of thing WILL come back to bite you in the arse, I can guarentee from experience. And you yourself say he has a tendency to throw his weight around and get physical. Yeah... you can guess what he'd be inclined to do.
I'm not endorsing what you're planning on doing. But i'm not discouraging it, either. Sometimes you have to stand up to shit like this because nobody else can or will do it for you. But just... think it through. Maybe theres still ground for negotiation with him. Maybe get your parents involved. If you guys have any mutual friends whom you can both relate to and respect, maybe get them involved as a mediator. Any older siblings who can represent impartiality and set some boundries or whatnot?
Like I said, sibling conflict is a *****.Fuck it like oneKeep a cool head, and always be mindful of repercussions.
Thats pretty much the situation i'm escalating into, where it'll be the first to move out or the first with a blood nose and a broken jaw. I'm the older brother, but also the more diplomatic and mature one. When I get angry, I do everything I can to keep myself from doing something stupid. When he gets angry, he tends to flip the fuck out regardless.ethaninja said:We've been at each others throat for about 10 years now.

'Sides, I'm not going to completely destroy his computer. Just do little things that might put him in his place a bit. As douchey as that makes me sound, if you had to live with my brother, you would do the same![]()
That was another idea. I'm practiaclly the tech support in my house. So they need me for that. I can fuck up whatever I want. If I make it look like an issue from some kind of faulty hardware/software... hmm.... You know, if this was Star Wars, I think I would be on the dark sideSenseOfTumour said:I can't help but think sneaking in, doing a simple 'break' of something software on his machine, then waiting for him to grumble about it, and offer to fix it for him, might actually help.
There's a chance he'll be less shitty to you if he actually realises you can be useful and save him money.
Perfect. He would think it's something wrong with his power supply or something stupid >.<Gizmo007666 said:I'm not that computer savvy but would it not be possible to make a simple enough program that shuts down the computer within x number of seconds and then get it to run from start up? Obviously make it enough time that you could go in and delete it if you wanted to but would be confusing/annoying if you had no idea what was going on.
