Sometimes the stress is the only motivation you have access to!

Maybe lay off the Root

Not a fan fat shaming that gets bundled in with that but basically. It’s the vice of greed, plain and simple.

Like imagine rolling up to a potluck and just buying the table, leaving naught but a bag of chips for the rest of the party. Even if you can afford it, it’s still a crime against your fellows.

Here’s a little sample https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/99258/why-do-corporate-mergers-require-the-approval-of-foreign-governments

Right?? The time stretching ahead of you like a vast unexplored country…

Yeah like it’s only a problem when I’m expected to cover the duties of the two friends who got laid off, on top of my own job description.

I wouldn’t need drugs to “lock in” if I wasn’t continually being squeezed for more more more focus more productivity more time more fucking unwavering attention.

It’s not normal! It’s this stupid grind culture that makes me disabled. When the workload is evenly shared I don’t need drugs.

Same thing with open concept offices. To extraverts it feels more productive and collaborative, but it’s actually the oppo to anyone engaged in any kind of focus work.

That’s great. It’s like you were temporarily a worker’s co-op.

I remember my company at the time also admitted that COVID was threatening the bottom line and many in the all hands and public chats suggested just what your company did.

Instead we got multiple rounds of gutting layoffs mid-pandemic, a mass exodus of core talent, and the founders selling out to some B tier silicon valley fucks who fly in every now and then to complain about morale.

I only had a 360 back in the day, and I feel like I got in and out at the absolute peak. So many great couch coop with roommates memories.

Companies used to need approval to do such things

Somebody finally got it!

Username

This is basically a progression of how I dress for bed by season.

Although dead of winter I would be wearing a longsleeve waffle top

Why aren’t you?

Username tells me you know your stuff

I never had one but sounds like I missed out. I also wasn’t thinking of rereleases or emulation.

I’ve had two standouts bad interactions too, but chalked it up to luck.

Perhaps this is a weird part to single out, but it surprised me

I mainly played on the 3DS from when I was 6 until I was 15, so I don’t have as much experience with other consoles.

The 3DS was simply Nintendo’s best era, and I don’t think we’ll see anything like that again given the current direction of their latest consoles…

Curious if others agree. I would’ve thought that it would be the SNES era, but that’s probably betraying my age more than anything.

Great article! On par with gaming publications, and actually probably better than most Nintendo Power articles I remember from back in the day. Great job!!

Well sure, as an adult it’s bliss, but as a kid it made me want to chew my own hair off.

I remember waiting for my parents to drive by street lights so could unpause and kind of make out the screen. Really I was just walking Link around the beaches of Koholint collecting rupees until I maxed out. Then I’d buy lots of bombs and stuff, use those, then repeat the process.

Sigh. Good times…
