I'm continually astonished how I thought grunt-work IT jobs would fade away as my generation and younger aged into the workforce becoming ever more technologically literate. Then the iPhone my rich friends bought in highschool became the new standard for interfaces.
Now I'm helping people several years younger and much older than me navigate the machines they use for their jobs.
Materialistic is absolutely how I feel when an object is sold for multiple years of my income.
All this because Capcom heard that a Street Fighter tournament participant was using a nude mod for Chun-Li. Just blacklist him and move on, let me keep my flashlight lasers on dropped materials in MH:W please.
It's amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too
It's astounding that modern management is all just metrics. Here are your target numbers, we don't know how you will hit them and it's easier for us if we don't know; if you can't hit your targets we will fire you for underperforming and will do the same until we hire our divine sociopath that will achieve our metrics by any means necessary.
PBS is actually better than ever and I prefer it over most of what gets shoved in my face on my PC.

That's something I couldn't quite put my finger on. The movie isn't overtly meta but it has a meta feeling about it. Like at times you can begin to profile the "players" of these characters. Really captured the spirit of a lighthearted evening session complete with a seasoned DM (even though there is no DM character in the movie) that makes you feel your own feelings when you might have least expected it.
Killing email is a honestly a greater feat than achieving communism. I salute the federation
It's infuriating to me that only Steam and EA's stores have gifting built in. Most of my games budget goes to buying small-squad multiplayer games like Deep Rock Galactic and Sea of Thieves for people.
Sure you can buy a key anywhere but I love seeing at a glance that an acquaintance has a particular DLC or game to surprise them rather than asking them first. And then there's a small chance they thank you for the key and pass it on to someone else instead of just telling you they don't like game, while Steam has a handy decline button.
Which is the delusion that the US's traffic engineers based all of their decisions on 60 years ago.
