One of the offices I worked in the HVAC was bizarre. The thermostat was by sales, but the cold air came out of a vent by eng on the other side of the building. Sales was hot, so they’d set a lower temperature. Eng would then get blasted by cold air, and sales would still be hot.

“Nothing to be done about it. Wear a hoodie” said management. Fuck that.

It only takes one!

Someone’s going to channel Luigi and shoot some of these corrupt justices dead, and I’m not going to be mad about it at all.

I don’t really find “I fuck off more at home” especially compelling. That sounds like a problem for you and your manager to deal with, and not something that everyone else needs to suffer for.

I mean, that’s the trolley problem. Someone would pull the lever to kill the billionaire even if it meant hurting a child. Sucks, but musk’s continued existence is probably going to harm millions of children.

pretty much every office I’ve had to work in was either too cold or too hot. Hoodies in the summer and t-shirts in the winter. I don’t have that problem at home.

The Return-To-Office push is not rational.

Like most stupid things in our world, it’s about emotions.

This topic is funny to me because I worked for a place that was all about data. Data driven decisions. They had tshirts made that said like “Data > Feelings”.

And yet when people brought up to the CEO stuff like studies showing WFH or 4-day-workweeks were effective, he just said “Nah, we’re not doing that.”. No discussion. No looking at the data. Just no.

To his credit, that CEO did run a profitable startup with barely any funding, so he wasn’t a total fool. But on that kind of stuff he was a total gutfeel asshole.

Can Musk please, please, please, just fucking die already? Preferably burnt to death while trapped in a cybertruck. He’s just so stupid and has too much power, and I’m tired of people treating him like he’s worth more than utter contempt.

Ramaswamy can go, too. Conspiracy theory peddling sycophant.

Morrowind. Every once in a while I reinstall it, but I can’t get over the “it looks like an action game but it’s a stats game” thing anymore. And I never liked Oblivion or Skyrim. But when I was a kid, Morrowind was so full of wonder and stuff to discover. I also wasn’t playing with a guide, so discovering stuff like “You can enchant an item to have 1-100 strength, duration permanent. It picks the bonus when you put the item on, and it stays that until you take it off. So put it on and off until you get a big number. Much cheaper than trying to enchant it to +100 straight out” felt more personal.

I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a battle pass and I don’t plan to. I think if a game I was interested in offered one, I’d consider just skipping it.

If no one bought the things they’d stop making them, but that is an impossible idea.

Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn’t bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too… unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.

Then I started CrossCode and it’s been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren’t very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their “HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE.”

I like that they did turn based but I didn’t actually like it that much. There are too many trash fights. I think one of the developers suggested a mod to cut HP so they go faster.

I also don’t really like the “one action per turn” model (as in DND) and kind of would have preferred action points (as in divinity).

But overall I’m a big fan of Deadfire, and I’m bummed they’re not making a third one.

I think the most fun I had was with chanter. Just hang out and summon dudes that wreck shit. Slap on the heaviest armor you want and just scream at people until they’re dead.

“As we search for a motive, remember there is no making sense of evil,” said New Orleans City Councilman Oliver Thomas.

Kind of a weird claim. Most evil makes sense. Like, sure, kicking a puppy is kind of nonsense. But a lot of evil is “my tribe is better than your tribe” or “I want power more than I want you to be safe”

Luke 18:2-5

He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

4“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’ ”

🤔

There’s a lot of stuff in the bible

Is anyone making Luigi religious/propaganda pamphlets? Because that’s a great idea.

“Have you heard the good news? Do you feel powerless? Fear not, for you have power.” Or whatever. I’m sure someone can come up with better copy

I don’t know if this is just me, but are those dates the “this will make you sick/dead” or are those the “it’s going to taste bad”?

Edit: I can read

I remember realizing all the names are science terms and being like “oh that’s clever”

Kind of like it more than the usual “throw darts at a fantasy word board” that produces like Dark Age, Dragon Priest, Eternal Soul, etc

Where would you lay the blame?

And how is that hypothetical response “intellectually dishonest”?
