I can barely focus myself, mainly because later today I’m seeing a dermatologist about a sketchy mole, and honestly that’s all I can think about today. I just need that peace of mind. 

I mean, what information is this supposed to convey? Do other companies just hang around when developing their games? Call it cynical, but way I see it, this is a rather circular story which doesn’t really tell us anything. It’s like when Blizzard says their games are done “when it’s ready”, like, yeah, no kidding. I…

Just because ‘the government says so’ does not mean it is in the best interest for the people.

No oxygen deprivation mask.

Given these two proposed business plans:

I’ve been out of work since about 3 weeks ago...and the first two weeks, Steam tells me I spent 176 hours gaming. That means there were only 160 hours available to do everything else...sleep, eat, write (and I did get some writing done, so that’s good), do Internet things, but for awhile there I was so thrown into a…

YUUUUUP. Sucks.

My employer keeps trying to head down that road too. The idea that “nothing else should matter while you’re at home.” Even their tentative “permanent” WFH policy sounds like they can call you back into the office at any time for any reason, because who doesn’t want to make a 45 minute commute mid-afternoon? It’s dumb,…

Wow, that is some grade A horseshit right there

I think lockdowns easing can be harder than starting. When they begin it’s fucking terrifying because nothing is normal, it’s far too much like living in the beginning of a zombie movie - but then it quickly gets easier, because really your life is simplified. You’re in your house, you’re not going to leave for work,…

This basically sums up how I deal with it:

Anxiety very high, morale lower than normal. Decided that while December 2019 was a decent time to go off of anxiety meds, July 2020 is a terrible time to be off them. 

The past two or so weeks I’ve actually been feeling a lot better. I started to get some news about process improvements at work that have been just overwhelming (the processes are still overwhelming, I just have news of potential future improvements instead of no news at all), a somewhat reduction of overtime, and I fi…

Living in the current epicenter (Miami, Florida) I am dealing with an endless supply of stress. Doesn’t help that I work in an office environment with a rabid Trump supporter who refuses to wear masks.

I actually own that cookbook, thanks to aforementioned husband. :) (I also have the official Bob’s Burgers cookbook and a Hearthstone-themed one.)

Or at least round to the nearest quarter and get rid of pennies, nickels, and dimes!

They’re called Pronto Pups, and they’re slightly different!

I’ve gotta disagree; I think Jacob’s being a little petulant about giving Kroger an interest-free loan of, what? $0.75? At least they’re paying you back, or even giving you the chance to donate to a food bank (which would absolutely be the right choice to begin with).

Having recently rewatched Hackers, I think the idea of writers being involved at all is hilarious. But to your point, was there an earlier movie that used a similar virus?

Told you.
