My issue is I am contracted IT, and make service calls to about 30 different businesses in about a 40 mile radius of our office. We cannot schedule our stops without knowing what we are going to be dealing with, so a ticket system is implemented at all the sites we manage. If I have to drive 40 miles out to one…

To be fair computers are supposed to make things easier, not harder. A launcher popping up when you click Play to play a game is a pointless delay.

Don’t bother, these guys can only envision a reality based on their own tolerances, and anything different is overblown or mocked. See my own post history with them on the subject of not wanting to curate both Steam and Epic libraries.

Every day for me “Why should I put in a ticket so you can schedule the work, all you’re doing now is _____, so do this when you’re done.” People cannot even understand that I may be busy after I complete the task I am currently doing. They also cannot be bothered to send an email to helpdesk@companydomain.com to tell…

Last weekend we did a major system move and migration of one of our ticketing systems. As part of the move we also updated the frankly way out of date software and migrated it to the latest level. After months of testing we were prepared to move the tool over and upgrade it with zero change to how end users worked…

God, people bitch about so much minor stuff.
“Yeah, I just need you to take a few pictures for me.”
“Why? Can’t you do it for me? I didn’t have to do that 20 years ago. I’m not good with phones. I can’t remember my password.”
And I hover my hand over the button to hang up with the pressing urge slam my hand down.

This looks bloody awful.

I cannot tell you how badly I want RDNA 3 to kick butt and come eat all of Nvidia’s lunch. Both of them overbooked chips before the crypto crash, and if AMD doesn’t flub this opportunity, they can sell through that inventory while Nvidia tells us to get over their terrifying prices.

Uniques (red flair) will, Elites (blue flair) won’t.  Unique enemies related to quests, such as the Colony Iota squads won't as well, even if they have a red flair.

There are a few parts about that game that make it feel like a real gem at times, but yeah I mostly agree with you. The story seems to be building to something interesting and then absolutely falls apart in the back half of the game. Repeatedly. And then the pointless cliffhanger really just tops it off. Also agree on…

I agree, but talking about “peeling your Ditto” sounds like a euphemism.

People are taking this ‘no spoilers’ thing way too far.

At this point, if a mediocre joke in a made-for-TV movie is going to get you worked up, just don’t use the internet, or talk to any children.

i also mention in the blog that there are spoilers for ugly sonic’s particular scene but i mean i get it: the image tells the entire story but idk it’s still possible to enjoy the flow of a story despite knowing the “big reveal” imo

The modern republican party right here folks! Remember, these morons will be voting this November.

There’s a pretty big difference between ‘learning about debt the hard way’ and learning to be responsible with money, and it’s pretty disingenuous to conflate the two, particularly since there is no debt here. The child doesn’t owe anyone any money that we know of, unless her parent is insisting she repay him.

It’s amusing how many blood stains there are around any lift in ER. Activating one inevitably shows some poor tarnished run straight to the lift and then down the shaft to their death.

Great game, and I actually find myself laughing all the time while playing it. The enemies are just flat out absurd (Godrick and his flamethrower, anyone?) and once you become completely detached from your Tarnished’s fate and pain, you can really enjoy the bleak comedy of it all. One time I was on a beach, killing…

I have sympathy for the people of El Salvador who had no say in making Bitcoin their official currency. 

Yeah, in movies, the post-9/11 glut of zombie movies (kicked off by the Dawn of the Dead remake) made zombies a lot less interesting and over-exposed, and it was always pretty rare to have interesting zombies in games. Zombies were mostly the uncontroversial (not-)human opponent that didn’t require good AI or a lot of…

That’s because there isn’t anything they can be used for that isn’t already being done with simpler technology.
