I’ve been thinking about getting one of those little vertical displays that are like 8 inches wide for status info. I have enough screen real estate but being able to load up certain things in it to monitor would be cool.

Ahhh, that makes sense and I definitely feel ya. I just get concerned about people who have problems like that because I’ve seen folks that wait too long.

It came from a place of love, Internet stranger.

I just keep running around yelling “let me solo her!” And I don’t even own a jar hat.

Have you gone and gotten your plumbing checked? 3x/night seems excessive.

Not my term, I just happily co-opted it.

Commodore? I know they had a tape drive and the game. I had an old TI 99/4A with a tape drive and we had Chisholm Trail but it was different.

I figured they were talking about the Oregon Trail generation. It’s made up of the folks who were old enough and young enough to play the game in schools and spans across parts of X and millennials.

Right? Minute 55-60 is the 15th minute. Fuck that. If it takes that long then the team is too big for agile or the scrum master had lost control.

You’re right. The other side of that is I did a little contract work for a company that is working on software for unmanned commercial flights.

Those guys actually made me feel better. They were all super smart, meticulous, and incredibly good at their jobs. It was the first environment I’ve ever been in where I felt like I could just barely keep up. I always felt one commit away from fucking things up. So I moseyed on down the road as soon as the thing I was contracted for was finished.

It was such a cool job and they offered me a permanent place. I just couldn’t feel behind every single day for the rest of my career until my system destroyed people’s lives.

It’s a cosplayer.

I love this guitar. Why do you have to post awesome stuff like this while I already have several projects going on?

Same. Plus I rarely clarified. Back in the day if someone zinged me anyway I’d generally make a joke about their mom or intelligence using the most hurtful language I could. I do not recommend the last part.

I don’t really do it anymore because I’m a middle aged dude who can’t give a shit about anyone else’s opinion. But I remember what it was like being a teenager who was weird even by teenager standards at a time when being different was not celebrated. I recommend against doing everything I did to protect myself but euphemisms for my hobbies are one I can absolutely recommend.

A lot of games have great music. Instead of calling it video game music, which absolutely invites people to say stupid shit, just say you generally listen to atmospheric soundtracks.

Growing up in small town east Texas taught me to create euphemisms for all kinds of fun shit.

I know. However, you said something that made my train of thought pull into a particular station. So you got a useless story because that’s what I do.

And I agree with everything you said.

It has decreased my dating pool by exactly 1. My ex started doing porn and I decided I couldn’t go back.

Best thing to ever happen to me. No drunk texts and no forgetting why we split up.

No hate on people who date others in porn. It’s just not for me.

And calling it General Lee.
