Throw in remote work. No one needs to be in an office to do paperwork.

When an organization targets a metric, that same metric will then fail it eventually. It even happened to the Soviets when plant managers had to over report production or else face the wrath of the administration. I often wonder why management can’t just realize some things are better left untouched lest they break something.

Linux Mint still has problems displaying games after the system wakes from sleep for some reason. Maybe Bazzite or Pop_OS would work better?

Damn between them and Nvidia drivers being shit on some Linux distros, is there any hope for the future of GPUs? I’m not super hopeful on Intel’s offerings now that the US government holds a minority share of the company.

Remember when “making of” documentaries were a free bonus part of DVDs, along with bloopers and directors commentaries? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Metal Gear Solid really clicked for me even though it had some strange shit going on with it too. Maybe because the tone and pacing was handled pretty well. The Patriots, Les Enfants Terribles, and even Revolver Ocelot’s arm possession just fit the narrative quite nicely.

It beats NGE’s convoluted story so thanks.

Neon Genesis Evangelion for me. The original ending where everyone was clapping around Shinji was so weird. It’s at its best when it’s about giant robots fighting the angels but gets really strange once the characters are out of the cockpit.

Ah yes, Malcolm in the Middle is behind this all along.

I can’t hear my wife talking next to me over the background noise of 2 quiet house fans, a truck passing by, a TV set low, and the noise of me washing the dishes. It drives her nuts.

At this rate we’ll have free credit monitoring for life! Will it help when it detects someone used your sensitive information to take out a huge loan in your name? Fuck no! They’ll just tell you it happened and that you should do something about it.

Wait long enough and the bundle will cost about as much as it does now when on sale.

The original magic and talent behind the Halo series is long gone. All that’s left is a corporate shell with billions of dollars to burn on a soulless cash grab for those looking back at the series with nostalgia.

Because deep down the shareholders and executives know the company will lose money if an AI CEO is in charge. AI can’t even take orders in a drive through ffs.

Desperados 3 did it for me. The game ends right where it promised, getting revenge and jumping to black as soon as the trigger’s pulled. Knowing something like this will likely never be made again drove me into a light melancholy.

If it’s not done right it can really make your screen stutter trying to render it too.

I drew that line at Battlefield 3. That was my last Origin only game and I refuse to use any other launcher besides Steam after that.

The easiest way to keep calories down is to meal plan with healthy ingredients. My usual routine that could be broken once in a while when I felt like it or went out was:

Breakfast: one bowl of Cheerios/corn flakes or unsweetened oatmeal.

Lunch: a large salad with whatever you want just not too much dressing (hint: using Tupperware to toss the salad lowers the amount of dressing you need) or tofu and broccoli sauteed in teriyaki sauce

Snack: whatever you want just don’t go overboard with it

Dinner: a protein bar or protein shake

Combine that with 30 minutes cardio and another 30 of weight training five days a week.

I personally lost around 10 pounds a month. It takes a lot of dedication to keep it up though but you can see results in about two months to keep you motivated. Frankly this only worked because I was an onsite employee the whole time, working remote gives way more temptation to eat.

Loved the homemade fireball gun. Subscribed!
