  I felt that way about CyberPunk 2077 and CDPR.

  CDPR hadn’t let me down. Yet. Ultimately, they redeemed themselves, sure, but at launch… whew, there were issues.

  Game companies CAN redeem themselves. Business wise though? Its hard to recoup that kind of shaken faith in investors, board members, etc; let alone the people you’re actually trying to sell to.

  There are so MANY fucking games out there these days, that I’ll look at something new, and decide I don’t like certain elements of the gameplay, and just move on.

  If a feature looks more frustrating than fun? I’m good, thanks.

  I’ve played hard games on the hardest setting for the challenge. I’ve also played “easy” just to get drunk and enjoy a story.

  If it isn’t fun though? Then what am I doing here?

  I already spend 8+ hours a day on the computer and hate it, but at least they pay me.

  Baldness can either cripple you, or make a man of you.

  Once you accept it. Rock it. Own it… well, IT at least doubles in size, results may vary.

  I will not be taking questions, please refer to the Mr. Sins. If he is not available, Sir Stewart will happy to demonstrate on your mother.

  Except, no?

  Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

  It was a cheap way to keep them from violently revolting. Even then, it didn’t always work.

  Speaking of violent revolt against an oppressive system, where are we at?

  I’ve seen that, and variations.

  I’ve noticed house flys being more common than bees.

  That being said, I’d piss on a fly. A bee could sting me. Rightfully sting me, I might add.

  Someone pisses on me they have a good chance of being hit.

  I had some, before I moved.

  Let me just say this, what came easy to young me in boy scouts… well, I’m just glad if I hit a safe area in the general direction I’m aiming.

  The other issues is as a boy I shot off the right of the riser on a longbow, and this was an off the left takedown (recurve) bow - still the amount I sucked surprised me a little, lol.

  So hopefully you have time to practice.

  Eh, task ChatGPT with it.

  Yep.

  I work in IT, if I’m on a call or actively working a ticket that I can finish and just ran out of time? I’ll stay, happily, and finish it.

  I’ll help cover vacations, and if I like the company, other people calling in to an extent.

  The longest stretch I worked was when I was much younger (and dumber). Retail, before the holidays. There were a variety of contributing factors at work, but in the end I worked 22 days in a row, most often 12+ hours a day. The OT pay was nice, don’t get me wrong, but I quickly learned that my time and well being are worth more than most employers can offer, even with OT adjustments.

  I slept over 24 hours straight, and my body hurt ALL over for two weeks. That was with a wonderful girlfriend at the time who knew her way around a massage, and was happy to do so when asked - and I needed it then, lol.

  I rocked long hair from grade school to my mid 20s.

  Then, a lady friend (platonic) sat me down and had a talk with me.

  The thinning, now seemingly always greasy, strands of hair was not a good look. Like, don’t visit a playground or I would be arrested on site lol.

  So, being a metal head there are two main options, or at least were at the time. Long hair. Or take bare clippers to it.

  So, I did.

  That first winter fucking suuuucked. Still to this day, I tend to rock a hoody in cold weather, and toss my hood up to cover my head for warmth when outdoors.

  Sometimes I let it grow out for about a month before taking clippers to it again, out of sheer laziness. A month of growth, from shaved, isn’t much in the way of hair, but temperature wise it is very noticeable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d also add a lifetime subscription to Nexus, that alone can add so much life to so many games. Hell, if I’m checking out a game, I see what kind of mod support it has first.

  Or do they not offer that anymore?

  I think I got it way back when for $50 or so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do gangs "jump in" new recruits? Or is that just for movies and tv shows? If so why do they do that kinda seems anti productive.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not clinical, but I worked in medical IT off and on.

  The shit I would hear from clinical staff.

  Had a senior surgeon call me because his application was frozen. Cool, cool, lets get that going - wait - you’re what - palpating a child’s heart to keep it beating in rhythm? There are back ups upon back ups for anything IT related in that scenario. Don’t call your overnight helpdesk with that shit, have your nurse write it down on paper. Fuck.

  Most traumatic IT call I’ve ever had. Didn’t even care to solve his IT issue, just focused on patient care. My 20 something ass with a few years behind the desk told him to focus on the patient’s LIFE first and foremost, we can talk later.

  Always great for an interview question though - how do you respond under stress? Well, lol…
