GameStop’s response so far is the organizational version of saying you’re not going to touch your face. You can say you won’t, but you most likely will. Very likely, you won’t know it. And rather than relying on a fallacious sense of self-control to keep you safe, you can practice actual self control and keep yourself…

They’d likely be using the computer whether working or not.

As opposed to operating school or work computers?

How would a sale be in poor taste?

Ah, yes, a salaried worker working on weekends for no additional pay out of desperation. All the more reason why a company should adopt policies to pay these workers overtime (when they have to work long) and to discourage such overworking when it detracts from quality of both life and product.

This feels like a situation where a game studio inadvertently undercuts itself by not mandating healthier and, in the long term, more productive development practices. Two touchpoints:

This is happening all over the academic conference circuit. Either conferences are being cancelled or they’re going all-digital.

Bernie bros are a stereotype, though. This article shows a sentiment analysis of tweets; Bernie’s supporters are not more negative than any other group’s.

What is wrong with thinking about waiting through the lens of a game? Those other activities are fine, and I’ve done all of them at least once, but that wouldn’t preclude me from learning something new from a book, a game, or any other new experience.

That’s fair. We can agree to disagree there. Next time lead with that, rather than flatulence.

Your metaphor missed the mark. Taco Bell and knowing you’re hungry / have $2 / have flatulence has little to do with dating someone and being conflicted in what you want. You’re substituting a simplistic kind of certainty into a situation where more factors are uncertain, including what LW was looking for.

Thankfully my father in law is the kind of DM that always focused on story, so he's enjoyed not needing a table for every situation.

Pal, I know you think the post is relevant to this situation. I really don’t see how it is. I think you missed the connection. It happens.

I will be playing a few more hours of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I returned to the game after a long hiatus to play the DLC and continue my Golden Deer run.

Why are you including me in this imaginary and seemingly irrelevant skit of yours a month after this thread was over?

Yes, that note about feminism and submissiveness was odd, both because it missed the point about feminism and it missed the point about his own relationship. Like, no, the biggest issue was exemplified when he and his partner had major intimacy issues from year 1 on, and his response was to propose before the issue…

I have a lot of experience with the PhD one. A little bit of data first from this article (8 years old, but the essentials haven’t changed):

That should at least be worth a do-over. The visual evidence shows it went in, but the game didn’t register it. One of those is wrong.Agreeing with one kind of evidence over the other doesn’t make sense. Set up a game state such that he can try that shot again.

For sure. That dopamine hit requires being attracted to the activity to be pleasurable. I’m not, but I respect the fact that others are.
