  • I always wanted children. Damn near every major life choice has been fueled by that. Took a job I knew I wouldn’t be happy at, but could be successful at to provide a better life. Yhe cars I’ve bought the safety rating for kids was to priority followed by reliability. The house I bought is within walking distance of every grade school, and the basement could easily be setup for a hangout spot for the teen years, oh and a good sized backyard for playing. One of the reasons I stayed at this job is I’m at max PTO and they actually offer paternity leave! I always make mental notes of fun places for kids so I could take them. When they were younger, and I was still considered cool, my niece and nephew wanted to move in with me 😆.

    Just never met the right lady.





  • My job I’m classified as remote. And I like it that way. Recently they have decided that a bunch of people even if remote will now have to come on site at least hybrid. For “collaboration”. I even noted that in my employment contract I had in there that I was to work from home, to which HR said that they really don’t care.

    My last year-end review was stellar. Top marks, praises from multiple departments, even got a promotion.

    But I happen to live to close to a location, so there’s ‘simply nothing that can be done’. So I’ve already started looking for different work.





    1. The original vision for the game would have been better. EA was more interesting.

    2. Pacing and toes of gear is done poorly. There’s swords for days but only 2 interesting tridents, war picks, or hand axe for example. There’s barely any usable druid gear (anything that actually matters if you wild shape). And the most useful stuff for monks is found only in act 3.

    3. A lot of people are nitpicky only because it won so many awards and it’s not their own perfect game (if such a thing exists).

    I still give this game a 10/10 for what it is. Despite knowing if it baked another year it might have been so much more.





  • Their unapologetic human exploitation to get the things made. When I think of Apple, I think of anti-suicide nets designed to prevent you from jumping to your death due to work conditions.

    Anti-consumer practices. Which pairs well with the low quality, but high prices. (Before someone starts yelling at me, think how many strait up destroyed Apple product charging cables you’ve seen vs any other brand, or go watch Louis Rossmann)

    A walked garden experience. Both in software in hardware.

    I want to bring up prices again. Everything is overpriced.

    They do a bunch of the same things Microsoft does, but for some reason, get a pass. The features on an iPhone lag behind Android. But for some reason, Apple is heralded as a leader and innovative.
