    The challenge drops off at the end intentionally, so you can feel like you're winning, then you can go finish the game.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Is that enough buttons to play Axiom Verge with? I don't feel like thinking right now.

    Actually, I figured it out. The frantic multitasking of doing customer service emails, taking phonecalls, triaging SNMP alarms, making tickets, making calls to notify customers, doing dispatch, locating and couriering parts, and putting in repair tickets with the providers is actually harmful...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    While I feel the pace of updates in the alpha is good, I also feel that if the single player game isn't a smash hit, this project is doomed. Not just for the money, but also for the much-needed good press.

    Yeah, that basically sums up everything. On the rare occasion I do anything brave, it's always stupid as fuck.

    I've never been rejected for any job after getting to the interview stage. Getting an actual fucking interview is damn near impossible. Or sometimes a recruiter will call me, submit me for a job, and then I'll hear nothing for 7 months. I've had professionals go over my resume, it's...

    When you say "getting a new computer" do you mean you built it yourself or you bought some HP/Dell/whatever shitbox?

    Personally, I have no development experience outside of a classroom, hence why I am stuck in IT jobs instead of being able to pursue development jobs. I get tons of offers too, for contract-to-hire support positions. Some pay a little more than where I work, and are probably slightly less...

    I need to move somewhere with municipal water. I've been without water for more than 48 hours at least 20 times in the past 6 years.

    I never use my macro keys at home. I brought my ancient logitech keyboard to work and have all 18 of them mapped to linux commands I type constantly, like cat etc hosts, various grep strings, etc.

    Yeah, that's retarded. The flip side is that I have a degree in CS, Statistics, and a masters in educational psychology, and 6 years previous IT experience, and I work 12+ hour shifts in a windowless call center where a urinal is leaking into the wall behind me, soaking into the carpet and...

    I believe "The Long Night" and 'a long winter' are not the same thing. A long winter is just a long winter. "The Long Night" is when White Walkers come down and fuck shit up.

    It makes sense that there's no religion in Tolkien's world. When magic is real, why would people need to make up fake magic to believe in?

    Yeah, that would be good, but nobody tried to help. My stepdad took what little money we got from the government to fix the house and took off with it. I got some help from neighbors, at regular contractor rates, after getting ripped off by a few contractors before that. At least they were...

    Yeah, this is what I tell myself when I want to feel better. But the problem, the root of my unhappiness at the moment and ultimately the source of my constant whining, is that I'mnotgetting my PHD now, because I'm stuck working at this job 60+ hours a week, and had to leave my fellowship...

    That was when I was like 21. We were only really poor until I was 8 or so. Then we were just like regular working poor (<24k a year combined.)

    Uh, we had basically 0 income, and I lived in government housing, until I was 8. So, yeah. After that, things were better, sure.

    I agree with this. I remember when my parents spent 4k on dog surgery that ended up killing their dog, yet didn't give me a dime for college or help me buy a car (or allow me to drive, I had to move out when I was 26 just so I could get a license.) I don't even know why I talk to my parents...
