I said a dart gun!

You know, they’re the home of CHALLENGE PISSING. Piss straight up six feet in the air and don’t get wet, they receive no down payment.

At the time, it was the best paying work with the best benefits I’d had at the time. On top of that, they were a new company and were doing a lot of things right in the first two years I worked there.

And then they bought out an overseas support company and every aspect of working there tanked in just a few months.

I can’t relate on the career directly, but I went from call center tech support to manufacturing and it was the best decision I ever made. I knew the job I was in would simply never bring a day of joy to me and money doesn’t do much for that.

The real answer is that you won’t know until you take a leap of faith. I was also terrified I was making a poor decision when I switched, but now I use far more of my skillset and I’m far more engaged as a result.

It may be a complete failure and you’ll have to switch again, but if you’re unsatisfied with what you’re doing, the only way to improve it is to make a change.

I wish this had even a single grain of truth to it.

You can get Milkdrop standalone now and it even runs on Linux via Proton if I remember right.

Indeed! I’ve had a key to a lock I’ve never seen that a close friend gave me in high school that has the word ‘LIFE’ beautifully engraved on it that I keep with me at all times. I like to imagine it’s a bit of a lucky charm.

Hell yeah! This might allow me to run it on my Clockwork Pi uConsole. Feels like it would be right at home on there.

I’m in the bottom-right corner.

Definitely, totally, for sure it’s real this time guys. Absolutely, positively, 100%. No doubt, practically a guarantee. I’m betting my firstborn, my house and my bank account on HL3 Confirmed. This is definitely not cope. No sir. Nothing but hope.

It took lots of effort to get rid of them, but I see almost no ads anymore. Not on the internet, not YouTube on my phone or in my TV shows or when I’m listening to music. I’m practically allergic to them. Now when I catch an ad that made it past me, it gets a physical reaction from me from just how FUCKING LOUD everything is all the time. And not just volume, but audio compression, colors, camera angles, costumes, set pieces, all of it. It’s a goddamn assault. They all just want their little piece of your time.

::: spoiler Obligatory Bansky quote People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs. :::

This is genuinely one of the coolest things I’ve learned about evolution. Thanks for this! There’s always that step that I’ve seen brought up about fish moving to land, but I can’t recall anyone mentioning in context about the oxygen depletion in water.

It’s almost covered in Bill Wurtz’s History of the World: https://youtu.be/xuCn8ux2gbs?t=190

I’m going to cheat a bit and say the wingsuit/grappling hook combo in Just Cause 3 that allows him to glide indefinitely and at high speed.

Fine, I’ll settle for the Dubstep Gun in Saints Row 3 (maybe 4?)

Now you just need to find a way to boil some water and… I feel like I’ve heard this one before.

This might be true for indie devs, but none of the indie games I’ve ever seen popular interest in do pre-orders. They all do early access now. It only seems to be the AAA studios collecting on free hype money to take an early dip on profits.
