As a 46 year old dev I’m starting to look that way too.

Exactly what I thought too.

Sounds like all she did was toss it in a drawer for 10 years, so very tenacious of her.

How do you pronounce gift?

Not me thinking Anime Leaker is some kidna new kink I hadn’t heard about.

Calling a restaurant, in this economy?

Yep! Huge red flag.

Yes yes.

so how would a smart person react to this?

I would just start working the same way they do. If you’re the only one with that work ethic and picking up their slack you’re probably enabling them to be lazy because they know it will get done. If things stop getting done in a timely manner someone higher up may notice and do something about it then hopefully everyone will have to start contributing again. Also might be worth talking to your boss about it.

I’m not sure how common this situation is, but I’d assume different places have different work cultures. Looking for another job is a good idea, hopefully you’ll find a place that’s a better fit.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. My mom had ankle surgery earlier this year and used one for a few weeks while recovering.

I used to play Halo 2 all the time, still have my old Xbox and disc, I should dust it off and give it a go.

He’ll drag you to his layer if you don’t keep dirt under your pillow.

Fend off the dirt man.

You may need a bigger house, or less cats.

I came to terms with getting old a very long time ago. Being able to play games at a high level requires hand to eye coordination and dexterity that sadly degrade as you age. It’s not surprising that top players are younger. It’s exciting to hear that a younger generation is picking up a game from my early adulthood. What’s even more wild are the ones competing in games like Tetris, a game from my childhood.

The first game I ever beta tested.

Interesting. I come from a family that wasn’t very physically affectionate, and I hug most of my friends every time I see them.

I started going to raves shortly after high school in the late 90s. The culture is all about love. I hug all of my friends (male or female) when I see them. I tell them as often as possible that I love them too.

Probably pretty low. Firmament was released a year ago and still doesn’t have the PS5 version even though it’s listed as a platform.
