I interpreted "for a job" as "employee, for a job they would pursue", probably because regional/industry phrasing. Apologies.

The only good slapping gifs are high speed slapping gifs.

I hope you at least feel the same way about any achievement built into a game that requires a repetitive task. That's basically what this guy did- he made up an achievement and decided to grind until he got there. You're playing internet armchair psychologist, trying to imagine what else he was doing while he played…

No, but for some people, it doesn't even occur to them to do so.

I'm gonna do the sorry-not-sorry, let's take a situation where I'm offered a job and I know who my direct manager would be. I may or may not have networked contacts who I could discreetly ask for the "real" description of the manager's style. But if I don't, checking out someone's social media activities are my only…

Hell, I google coworkers, potential bosses, my mailman...okay, I don't have a dedicated mailman. Whatever. People change, yes, so you should take time stamps and such in mind.

The first thing I do with any TS game is make my me-Sim and set out to conquer the neighborhood. (Also steal their plates.) In one of my save files, I seduced my lady butler because I am a terrible and unethical employer.

Stepford Sims. ;)

Electrocution ghosts are the worst! I finally got a Sim to die while repairing a stereo, but forgot he had the "loser" trait. Stupid grim reaper resurrected him.

The trick is to pause the game and build a wall around the very edge of the pool. Not that, uh, I made a point of collecting all the different types of ghosts.

Yep. I'm sometimes tempted to scoff at college myself since I've done quite well without it, plus the whole "yaaay no student loans" bit. Then I remind myself there are any number of specific factors at play: right place, right time, right industry, existing skills, opportunities where my strengths helped me stand…

It's very much seen as an "emasculated" sort of thing and it's pretty infuriating when I've encountered that attitude. Your balls are still there, dude!

Very well put! There are acts that I would enjoy in a mutually satisfying, completely consensual, previously negotiated relationship...that I am unwilling to watch in porn at all. Without that context, it's unpleasant to watch (for me).

Cat Lady seriously fucked with my head. I don't even know why I tried to play it. :/

I admit, I haven't finished To The Moon. I found the dialogue to be pretty irritating and distracting from the story idea. I'm sure I'll go back to it *someday*, but I'm in no rush.

I remember reading that when you look at medical providers who have killed or intentionally harmed multiple patients, the women (generally) followed more a Munchhausen by proxy style pattern, but not exactly so- it seems to be a desire for attention as the "heroic caretaker". The men (generally) were more the "act of…

Agreed. Some things are just incomprehensible and unpardonable. Munchhausen by proxy is on that short list for me, even with my tendency to rabbit-hole on depressing topics.

I enjoyed playing FF7 the first time, but agree that we really don't need a remake. It's one of those fond memories that is better off as a memory. I'm curious, though- who did you find likeable in FF8? I recently tried to replay FF8 and eventually the "I hate all you moody little bastards" got to me.

That's awesome. We didn't handle the "no, there is not actually a bearded fat man breaking into all the houses of all the little children in the world in span of an evening after watching everything you do and sizing up your moral character" quite as eloquently, but the gist was about the same. Your relatives sound…

Today was also the first time I read about the Angela Carder case. I think I've had enough internet now.
