    They did hound me but not because of the job itself. My manager was a (white) Nicaraguan grandma who had spent her entire career working deep in ancient healthcare databases. She had 5 grown children and was widowed. Seriously the nicest grandma persona you can imagine. The problem was that she...

    I've been consolidating my account sprawl into Fidelity this year. Resulting in about 3/4 of my investments now being in my Fidelity account. The other 1/4 remains in my original Etrade account that I opened forever ago and that has been my main stock trading account for years for personal...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    For whatever reason I absolutely cannot play games while drinking or high or anything. I simply lose all interest and want to go outside and walk around, talk to people, etc. But it always sounds like a good time.

    Over my time working at CVS when I was practicing the art of overemployment they gave me like $130k in stock between RSU and ESPP. I had been sitting on it for awhile now as I quit CVS last year. All told CVS was quite generous as you got bonuses and RSU. But I was getting tired of working two...

    Cursor has been good enough for me. Just the $21/month sub for my personal projects. At work I also use Cursor. They have an axiomatic rule of you can use Claude or Cursor but they will not give you licenses for both.

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    Its just tired for MMO specifically. It was never a genre where your skill in the game meant you could win or lose PVP. It was almost entirely gear and your time spent progressing. Certain classes like Rogue have a good PVE toolkit that is also perfectly suited to ganking. Which most people are...

    PvE Horde is where most of us are ending up. Remember there are not servers as such here. Also its the Ragefire Chasm equivalent. It isn't like RFC was ever an interesting dungeon. It just just a winding cave. Much like Wailing Caverns!

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    PvP just isn't remotely as organic of an experience as it was in 2007. It's hyperoptimized and ultra magnified for gay ass streamers. It isn't two players of equal level questing in the same contested zone and crossing swords in some cave full of evil Orcs, its deliberately targeted. If it isn't...

    I like the tactile feel. No other reason. I had a bare university science desk as my office desk for 8 years. Like I said, I like leather, I like it's feel, and I like that it develops a patina of getting worn in. I could just use my bare desk, but I don't need to.

    Turtle didn't really become popular at all until it had been out for like 5 years and had the same amount of development behind it. I don't knock Blizzard needing to find their footing here. Their absolutely militant policy on bots and RMT will be sorely missed however. Turtle's custom...

    I don't even mind PvP in general. It has just become really sweaty and degenerate in Classic variants. PvP out in the world now and again was fun.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Needed to replace my big mousepad I got in 2018. I was reminded about this after seeing the merch store for Monsters and Memories. Buuuuttt I didn't want anything they had. As I am a full on Texan at this point, I really like leather and the patina it builds up in boots, wallets, flip flops...

    This is a bad take to me. Racials do not make or break the fucking game. I don't even care if some races have better than others. If you choose to play a character you hate just because of the racial you are a retard and deserve it. I do understand that if ALL you do is PVP it does change...

    There is no substance retard. The arena you complain about isn't even in the game and is wholly speculation. Which is why you are a dooming retard.

    The amount of doomers about every nitpicky thing for this game stuns even me. Like, yes Orc racials are currently a tad strong. But if you read any of this mindrot the world may as well be ending because Alliance warlocks have no chance against horde characters now!
