- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 day ago:
They are literally sequels. 2 and 3. That removes any chance of them being unexpected now doesn’t it you dunce.
Ambitious, sure; if your definition of ambitious is delivering a complete game at release.
Weird? If you think these games are weird I’ll absolutely punish your eyeballs with just some stuff on steam that will leave these two games looking absolutely mainstream.

The cats out of the bag. If the US enforces stricter copyright then China just wins. There’s is no stopping the slop, there’s no stopping what’s coming.
- Comment on The workplace is most toxic atmosphere I've ever experienced. No wonder they force us to buy necessities with this money they give us. 3 weeks ago:
Came to say the same. Work from home, permanent remote. I moved out to acreage in the middle of the forest to raise my family. Pretty dang happy, with good pay, especially for the area.
It can be stressful, but like, the fun stressful. Like a really hard puzzle that you feel great after figuring out. And then I just go outside and walk around my property when I need a break.
I’ve been advancing slowly. Manager asked if I wanted to manage people, naw dog, that’s not me. But slowly they’ve been putting me as lead on projects with others assigned to it also. It’s leading but not managing, still comes with pay raises so whatever, maybe I will manage one day.
Point is I’m happy.

No. Ostracizing just seems soo much more harmful. It seems kinda backwards to me. What’s an acceptable response and what’s not. That’s all.

No, I’m asking why can’t I just punch a guy who deserves it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Right! Thank you, this is what I’m looking for.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
To clarify: I don’t have an issue. I have a coworker I’d like to punch. The alternative strategies I’m taking because I can’t punch him are leaving me feeling dirty.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
My follow-up thought. Would so many people not rather be hit once than ostracized forever from a group?
Isn’t a punch or a slap or a headlock better any social or mental punishment? It becomes almost therapeutic for both parties.

Because theirs isn’t actually a tree.

I litterally drink the juice. The jar is completely empty when I’m done.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 5 months ago:
I’ll go out on a little limb, it might be sales specific. My company is 100% work from home. All the engineers and product and design work remote, maybe come into the office once a week just because.
The sales team however is strongly encouraged to come in as much as possible. I think it’s a morale thing. Sales teams become these weird cults, maybe necessarily. It’s really hard to pick up the phone and make a call when you’ve been rejected 5 times in a row. The teams little ceremonies are designed to help push through that.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro 2 Reportedly Entering Mass Production In H2 2025, Sporting The New M5 SoC, Spatial Computing & Generative AI Could Make It A Hit 5 months ago:
I just hate all their separate OSes. I’d buy an iPad pro if it ran osx. I’d buy this thing if it ran osx. I’m not buying a powerful $3k computer that can only run apps.

- Comment on UK | Girl died from sip of Costa Coffee drink after ‘failure to follow allergies processes’ 6 months ago:
No, you cannot expect that. That’s a nice to have.
If you expect that, you’re going to be disappointed.
If your life depends on that, you’re going to fucking die.
- Comment on UK | Girl died from sip of Costa Coffee drink after ‘failure to follow allergies processes’ 6 months ago:
If you have an allergy to milk so severe you’ll die, you’re probably just gonna die. Unless you only eat what you or mom prepared.
It’s not about training, mistakes happen. If NASA engineers make mistakes that crash billion dollar spacecraft, you’d better believe the folks who make your food are going to make mistakes. Don’t put your life in their hands.
