Ironically I've found it's harder for people to run away in remote, people don't disappear from their desks and you don't have to chase them down. If they don't message back and it's urgent, you call and if they don't pick up a call and haven't marked themselves as such something's up. People are extremely dilligent about making sure they use status' due to the knowledge that people will assume that way.
The idea of planting a potential scorched home only to find out it was the location of your favorite chalupa place later on
Ape Escape. I would love one with the scope of areas similar to Super Mario Odyssey
A short 2D Collectathon in the style of 5th Generation games of the genre. Jump into a 2D world and explore, solve puzzles and overcome challenges to collect gears to take you higher. A beautiful art style and soundtrack make me wonder why this wasn't talked about more when it came out earlier this year
MMOs surprisingly have a strong controller play base mainly thanks to FFXIV. Considering it's WoW's strongest competitor, a controller layout is a solid idea
It was marketed decently enough. I remember seeing a release date trailer in 2022 and it was a known quantity before that. Was even at The Game Awards last Year. There's definitely heavy marketing right now though and it helps that the numbers are so high.
I am surprised by how one of the really first Chinese AAA games released on Steam is surprising people with how well the Chinese like it
We live in a time where people are extremely desperate to make out Taco Bell as awful and McDonalds as good. You don't need to justify eating bad food. Sometimes you just need to eat a shitty taco or salt with a side of potato. Sometimes you just need an avenue for grease. No one needs to be a health influencer 100% of the time
It's great how this panel naturally evolved
I mean, I will. I literally said that.
I'll have to look later but it will be good to have sourceable evidence for this if it's true
Hate to be that guy but if you like beefy men JoJo is a good decision. If you like overcoming the odds and beefy men. Maybe Hajime no ippo?
If Spider-Man was invented today he'd be considered a self insert. Jaded nerd gets super powers and constantly inner monologues he could beat up his bully
Ignoring the success and failure of agile and waterfall. Waterfall was just a way more enjoyable development experience for me. That would probably change if the cycle was lower though. Also doesn't help that many managers I've had don't follow the rules of agile/SCRUM. Seems like people use it as an excuse to be able to change things on any given day but those cycles are supposed to be planned, not the plans.
Not necessarily. Also depends on competency of whoever is looking at using your software/investigating and the legacy of the things you described. A whole different scenario if it's because you forgot to write something in a ticket and someone coming to call for help with docker when you have a docker setup guide they never look at.
Even in my dreams I'm an idiot
Was on this weird rollercoaster gameshow where a group of people were attempting to make me press a button to give up. They threatened me physically but I was confident they couldn't actually hurt me or there'd be a lawsuit. One of them told me they would hurt me mentally instead. I thought I'd get ahead of them with mind games and press the button as if I wasn't able for mental bullying... All the people celebrated for their victory getting me to push the button while I pleaded it was a mistake of judgement and what my plan was. Obviously they did not give me a second chance
The older I get the more annoyed I am at teenagers
I just imagined a world where for 10 years I told my child I loved them and then for them to within less than a year, stop responding and then actively shame you for doing so.
Fuck, I really wish my parents humanised themselves a bit more when I was younger. It took me far too long to rationalise that adults weren't different from me.
"Women/Girls love a man with confidence"
I've been thinking about this recently and it's one of those innocent sayings that are quite insensitive. Growing up I heard this quite a lot, usually in response to being shy about asking someone out.
As an adult it's hard to view this as an encouragement when the flip side is women dislike men with insecurities, women dislike men who feel vulnerable when putting themselves out there.
I don't believe any of the connotations that I skewed from the phrase but it's better to suggest "women love a man who are brave enough to fail" as encouragement rather, if you want a basic encouragement.
Just wanted to shar this somewhere appropriate
