Working “on task regularly and continuously” is not the same as doing valuable work that contributes to a company’s goals or (more importantly in my opinion) fulfills the goals and skillset of the employees themselves. I’m primarily in project based work so some days I have 10 hours of stuff to do, some days I have 2…

Yeah that’s totally fair.  Genshin and other F2P games are pretty clear about what you’re getting and that to progress faster or get more powerful you have to spend cash.

My opinion is fuck GAAS in general. Especially GAAS where you have to pay full price for the pleasure of waiting on actual fun content (and in some cases critical game fixes) months down the line. Looking at you Destiny. I know those games have their supporters and some of them are pretty good and fun! I just get the…

It’s going to be Rated R and it’s an Eli Roth movie.  I’m not saying it’s going to be a groundbreaking piece of entertainment but I hope it’s at least a fun, violent action flick.  I liked but didn’t love the games, but I’ll admit the looter-shooter genre hasn’t always been my favorite.  Could it be worse than Madame…

Oh Cook was my favorite show to get stoned and just turn on and veg out.  I hope they make a Season 3.

I rolled a Monk, and my homies are Karlach, Gale, and Shadowheart.  I don’t know if I could do a playthrough WITHOUT Shadowheart.  I don’t like playing a Cleric myself and she’s my main healer and buffer.

As a completionist, it has been REALLY hard for me to just let some things go in terms of quest lines and companion stories. My party composition and play style kind of go out the window if I don’t have the current line-up of companions that regularly roll with me. I love my ragtag bunch! It also takes me out of the…

My high school friend’s dad would NOT let their mid 90's Thunderbird die. They didn’t have a lot of money so I kind of understand but the amount of money they had to sink into that thing in repairs would have definitely afforded them something more reliable. Once a month I would see his dad shirtless, swearing up a…

I was amped for Spider-Man 2 already, and I’m pretty excited for the return-to-basics approach on the new Assassin’s Creed, but I’m now buzzing about Return to Moria. I don’t like survival games that much but that one really jumps out at me as a LOTR nut.  Can’t wait to grab a buddy and accidentally piss off a Balrog…

I know people do like it a lot and maybe I just don’t get it. I kind of enjoyed the Outpost mechanic until I realized you can’t just have one main outpost to which you can funnel all your mined and gathered materials.  The max amount of landing pads you can have at one place is 3, and you need 1 pad for each…

The inventory systems in both Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield make me want to self harm. I think full on crafting mechanics need to get the boot too. Especially when there’s so many resources you have to gather. I’d be fine if they just took those mechanics out, found ways for me to make more money, and let me buy…

I completely understand wanting to savor the moment between two friends reconnecting after 10 years apart. Especially for people who followed the novels and the cartoons (I did not get into that stuff but still really enjoy Ahsoka!). But Sabine got to Ezra by helping 2 probably-bad-but-kinda-gray-area Jedi types, and…

My employer is giving us all a paid wellness break which begins on August 3rd through August 5th.  I will be doing nothing but Baldur’s Gate!

Tom was just on the Smartless podcast and he talked about how he still lives in his hometown suburb of London with 3 other close friends (one being his brother who is a chef) and when he’s not filming movies he’s playing golf, poker, and watching football.  He talked about those 3 things with far more enthusiasm than…

Dave’s hot chicken is ELITE as far as fast-food Nashville Hot Chicken goes.  I love that place.

How’re ya now?

I agree, she’s far more devious than she puts on...except when she’s with Harper.  “I think you need a trainer” means Harper needs a side piece because Ethan is rich but kind of a putz.  Those kids are probably not Cameron’s!

I was wondering this exact thing about the timeline so I’m glad I saw your comment!

I’m not going to make any claims about being a spectacular OW Player and when it comes to competitive it’s not a pool into which I regularly dip my toes. I got the itch to try it out with a friend last night and the first game we joined had an opposing Hanzo who had 30+ eliminations and never missed a one-hit headshot…

Holy shit I’m sorry to hear that.  My relationship with my mom soured because of her switch to some very extreme beliefs and it’s hard to see a family member get to that point.  I have two nephews (11 and 15) who are in the prime stage where they could be influenced by this dickhead, but fortunately when I asked my…
