I like “or else” meant no promotions, as if that ever meant anything in tech. If you want more money you jump to another company. This just gives them even more incentive to do that.

Fun fact, a big reason why innovation happened a lot in tech is because of this-- when a company fails to retain someone, they take their wealth of knowledge and trade secrets with them. It actually hurts companies more than just losing a person since it also gives the competition a leg up!

Just like meditation, but much more alarming to walk in on!

If it’s one to one how we get erect normally, and as the human body essentially inflates using blood, your teeth would ultimately be blood sponges. Seems impractical.

Of course, take it a step farther and maybe physiologically the blood hardens to a sharp point. I know some fantasy settings where bloodstone is a thing, so I guess that. If it was possible, it’d look sick as fuck.

Either or, I don’t think most people care.

Now, you wanna make a splash… "Yo dawg, So I heard you’re hiring. Hit me up.

• Employable Guy"

Goes over super well with HR. (But seriously you probably can get away with this with so many unimportant emails lol)

I have a friend I help with her start up and occasionally she starts that shit with me. I have zero patience for boss speak and my labor is free so I just tell her off.

Just because in your head you RP as a boss doesn’t mean I’m going to do a meeting instead of an email, and a little friendly, humble speech goes a long way vs. whatever the fuck these rude ass emails are.

Keep those eyes out for working CRTs in thrift stores and garage sales. Or, I guess, estate sales? Or idk, whatever it’s called when they give dead old people stuff away. It’s a dying breed.

Point is, you need a curved screen and crazy strong scan lines. 4:3 ratio or bust.

Funny, cause my wife found that kind of annoying for some reason. Iirc, it was optional though. (I ultimately had to solo most of the ones I had, but I’ll get back into it when my kids are older, haha)

Side by side, but let’s be honest, over/under gives a better field of vision. Depends on the game, I guess.

Woe to the people with more siblings and the four way split.

Funny how I’m an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.

At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).

If the modding tools are as good as NWNs level maker then that’s even better as far as I’m concerned. I don’t exactly need a relationship with Shrek or Thomas the Tank Engine, haha

Oh my, a real who’s who, I recognize most of the names mentioned too. But let’s be fair, they post stuff while many, myself included, just comment.

Too bad I just use my game name for this, haha

Ironic use of that term, internal colonialism, given my LA neighborhood has a flourishing Indian and Vietnamese community, culture and all.

“Transplants” in quite a different way than the meme pokes fun of, though! (And they certainly don’t complain about LA and their food is awesome).

Yeeeah… I vaguely remember that. Granted, he was never meant to be a role model, he’s a drug addict (although that doesn’t stop certain men from thinking he’s a badass to emulate?).

So I guess the real episode would go: one of the cool interns makes the recommendation when brainstorming around a white board, he shoots them down, and then assigns all manner of psych drugs that kinda work until the intern does the treatment themselves and get canned for it (but two seasons later we see they’re a doctor doing a great job).

Basically my childhood, yup. But then again, the type of kits they let us use as kids seem to be more quantity than quality. Or maybe I was just poor, haha.

I usually don’t go high card runs, but I love pairing anything like this with doubled odds and lucky card spamming. Burnt is definitely overrated, though, as you have to sacrifice perfectly good hands to do anything except high card.

Oh fuck, I forgot about this. I never got a chance to play those because my brother, and then my father, both monopolized the games. Ironic the same was true of Kingdom Hearts, and it sounds like both are released a week of one another on steam. (Yay, reliving a childhood I didn’t have!)

I think it’s throttling me, but it’s a little hard to tell. When my 4k TV runs in native app, I get as ton of ads but it is rather crisp. When I run from my PC connected to the TV via Firefox, in 4k resolution, I swear it’s closer to 720p or even 480p.

But, there’s other factors, like it being a PC and not a native app. I would test against my Edge but I can’t be bothered.

“A mother heartbroken after incel murders their daughter…”

It almost feels like they just omitted a few words. Kind of terrible writing. Click bait?

Oh my, the next Skyrim of modding is upon us.

There are such things as brick separators?! Why hasn’t anyone told me, my fingernails could have been spared such anguish.
