Feeling pretty okay about it, not like super stoked about it because I’m having to take a rather large pay cut. But my current employer has mistreated the shit out of me and I just couldn’t take it anymore. Even if this new job ends up putting me in a similar position after a while, I’ll at least have some new scenery and a new start.
2025 has been some bullshit to say the least and I’d like something positive to happen this year.
I’m quitting my job today to start a new one in a couple of days!
Fucking hell, that’s legitimately depressing. And for fucking 30 bucks a month too, that’s insane.
If we’re talking straight up cancelled, then I will forever be sad that Scalebound was cancelled.
I’m sure it wasn’t going to be as great as I was hoping anyways, but damn the concept looked so cool, and when I saw a dude with headphones jamming out to music fighting with his dragon buddy I was like “I want to be that!” Like it felt like that game was being made especially for me and my interests, and then it got cancelled 😔
Ankle-cut socks that go all the way up to the gooch.
I know Google sucks, but I will give a little credit to the newer Pixels’ “Circle to Search” feature. It’s nice to pull up an image and just circle search it and see where it came from, or the context behind it, etc etc.
Circle Search and the two you mention are probably the only actually useful things to come out of AI so far.
I still to this day think about the opening quote to this Watsky song , "Nothing matters, so it doesn’t matter if nothing matters. And while you be, be true. And if you won’t, fuck you. "
Just thinking about that quote during times of stress eases my mind a little bit. Basically just a little more fancy version of “Why so serious? It ain’t that deep.” Lol
My apartment got flooded recently so I don’t have access to my computer for now, so I booted up RetroArch on my phone with a Razer Kishi and started playing Pokemon Unbound, a pretty neat rom-hack.
I’m only at the 3rd gym leader right now though, but I’ve been passing time in-game by making sure to name every single pokemon I catch.
You had a catastrophic accident that lowered your mental facilities enough to allow you to drive trucks?
Oh shit this is actually really helpful, I might end up doing the Rufus USB route when I get my stuff back up and running (apartment flooded and I have to wait until the finish fixing my ceiling before I can plug everything back up.)
Thanks for the in-depth info!
Basically my plan until I can scrounge enough money up for a new computer. My current one literally won’t let me upgrade due to some component/driver it lacks.
My best friend used to work at a local fast food chain, and there was one week when we were both on vacation with our other friends. He was a Lead and the manager was also away during this timeframe.
We find out that some employee ended up falling for a phone scam, someone called the restaurant stating that they were the manager and needed money to cover some business costs. So this scammer tells the employee to buy gift cards and read out the numbers on the phone and such.
This dumbass ACTUALLY does this, while using the restaurant funds. He goes to Walmart with cash from the drawers, buys the gift cards worth like 5000 bucks, and gives them all to the scammer on the phone.
It wasn’t until after the full transaction completed that the dumbass employee decided to call my friend asking if what he did was okay, and my friend was like “FUCK NO, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT, ARE YOU INSANE?”
And yeah, pretty sure that dude was fired and they just had to deal with being short 5000 dollars.
This is the hard truth. It’s fun to think of ways to try and “get back at them” or try to make them understand how stupid they are, but they truly are that fucking ignorant. They will always find or create a way to make you be the one in the wrong in their eyes, so ultimately anything you try on them has a greater chance at backfiring and harming you in the long run.
Been following Alan Becker since the beginning and it’s been so fun to see him improve his animation. I backed this immediately on Kickstarter and I’m excited to see it come out.
I’m especially excited for the unlocked stretch goal of a Roguelite Mode, I fucking love me some Roguelites
It’s not JUST a boulder! It’s a rock! A BIG, BEAUTIFUL, OL ROOOCK. Oh the pioneers used to ride these babies for MILES! And it’s in great shape!
Dude Cherami Leigh also voiced my favorite gaming character, Gaige the Mechromancer from Borderlands 2. She’s fucking phenomenal.
It’s a bummer none of the echo logs made it into the game, but they’re still great. The fact that she cuts her arm, and then instead of patching it up, she just slices her arm clean off and then builds a mecha arm WHILE she’s bleeding out is so fuckin hardcore. I love it
I petition to bring back regular use of Kerfuffle.
