To add to this, if you’ve already connected to internet, you can disconnect with the same shift + F10 trick to get the command prompt open and type “ipconfig /release” to get rid of your connection.

Literally 90% of my problems are because billionaires exist. My rent is too high, groceries are unaffordable, my car is one dashboard light away from breaking down. All of these problems are solvable with the money that billionaires extract from my labor.

And working until dead, don’t forget that. Big factor in the whole depression thing.

I actually really like the SNES game, it is objectively not great though. You can’t even save, so emulation is a must unless you can dedicate an 8-10 hour sitting to it.

Particularly that it switches between top-down outdoors and a pseudo-FPS indoors, and the claustrophobic interiors and darker music give it a lot of charm.

I mean, I really don’t. I’m not particularly gung-ho about being male, but I don’t think I’d be happier as a girl because my problems stem from socioeconomic stresses, rather than anything to do with my gender perception or body image.

I think the seven seas be particularly fine this morning, arr.

Who has time for hobbies?

Yeah, lucky bastard has a wall behind him instead of a hallway.

I bought a Blahaj the other week and my god it is so soft. I’ve been cuddling with it every night since.

Sounds like the company needs to increase its bus factor. Luckily, I can help the company by not doing any of this nonsense, to pressure execs into hiring more staff so that the team is robust enough to weather a catastrophe.

You wouldn’t shutter a studio that produced a critically acclaimed game and then tell your remaining employees they need to make more games like that one.

“I’m especially good at defenestrating!”

The crazy thing is, I enjoy washing dishes. I just don’t want to do it 40+ hours a week and still not be able to afford to live.

Well yeah, but have you thought about how doing something might impact profits this quarter? Unacceptable!

But can it handle AAAA games?

…A sphere obeys.

Yeah, I think that’s something worth expanding on - lots of people actually like work. Nobody likes working 40+ hours a week and still not being able to pay the bills.

I really enjoyed the actual work I did at Subway. The only things I didn’t like about it were the rude-ass customers, the fact that I was getting paid shit.50 an hour and the manager was a creep and a prick who was constantly late with checks. Two of those things go away if everyone’s paid enough to live no matter what they do.

I don’t mind doing dishes, I just don’t want to do them for 40 hours a week and still not have enough to pay my bills. That’s the biggest thing I’ve come to learn after 15 years of nonstop working - it doesn’t really matter if I like what I do or not, because at the end of the day, I’m barely making it, and that takes a much larger psychological toll on me than whether or not I find my job meaningful or fulfilling.
