Our company is emphasizing this. We just promoted a girlboss with zero technical background to CTO after the last one retired, but she is basically a clone of him in that she has no technical background and latches on to whatever trend she reads about from skymall magazine. And now every other...

Kirun sounds like the typical middle manager need to look busy type. In manufacturing and service industries, they have a place because the people who report to them are mouth breathers most of the time. The vast array of knuckle draggers working in those carries need someone who can crack the...

Look for a state level gov job if you can. Fair pay, remote work, and fairly stable. Not the ideal thing, but it can keep the lights on while you hunt for the long term gig you really want. As woman who is not a drama bomb there are going to be some options open to you that most of us don't...

Condolences, but get ready. You have a non zero chance of getting pulled into raising those kids by your wife.

I agree with his broader points, but he has more or less lost the plot on his cause. Kind of the same path I went down with Wormysyar. Got so wrapped up in the tolling that he forgot what point he was tryiing to make and stopped reading the room. Taking battles into this part of the forum is...

On topic, yeah no kids here by choice but marriage is both the best thing and hardest thing life has to offer. Even if it all works well, its tough and takes effort. Its rare as hell for a split to be equal blame, but in any breakup there is always a little bit of blame on both sides. Bare...

@Nirgon This is not the forum space or thread to pull troll antics. Stow that shit for the POL section or Amod will drop the hammer. Even the Welcher and Felcher know not to screw around in the Grownup forum area.

Yeah if the show "improved' on anything, its in quietly dropping the Gigantor Roid Monster Abby angle (an likely tranny). The kind of resources to create a roided out monster young woman who can punch out Zombros with her bare hands is simply not going to be available 20 years after a societal...

Well even the biggest monopolies fall down the shitter (literally) if their customers get fed up, especially if you are providing a product to another enterprise organization rather than to general consumers. Happens fairly often in tech compared to other industries, actually. Like outside of...

Well once again the managers think they see a way to cut people to push up their stock and bonuses, heedless of the long term impact because if anything bad happens they just golden parachute to the next company to destroy. They have tried every angle to make the replace whitey with Poos thing...

Another thing I have discovered in the current year environment is that if you are the one white dude who snuck in the door and are even remotely good, you are mostly bulletproof. Reason being is many companies have so many DEI hires who checked a box while having zero skill (or H1B1 Poo...

Developers can get away with this shit because there are a lot of useless meetings they can just ghost and tons of dead time because management cannot organize time for shit. And at the same time, companies are loath to let someone go who knows how the shit works, because letting a Dev fuck off...

I was in a clan called The Fighting Amish back in my X-Wing vs Tie Fighter period. Flew Z95s, A Wings, and Interceptors mostly (they did scaled kills so if you could fly something fast worth a shit you were not worth much to kill and could rack up huge scores taking down the fancier shit) and...

This. Had a SB 64 Awe Pro (was also doing music comp on my PC) and had a pair of 3dfs cards SLA'd with passthrough from the old Matrox Millenium 2 card for standard graphics. So much work to get it all to play nice. I used to hand build all my PCs but I don't think I have touched that shit in...

Yeah Doom 2 was a modders paradise and had so many great custom maps made by the community. I remember a Hoove Dam one that was flat out amazing. It was also one of the best early coop experiences in gaming at the time. Side note, why not just make a modern Hexen or did ID Soft let the...

You asked for examples where he wasn't just playing.Danny devito and I provided them. Does your doctor Title require researtification periodically?

Throw Momma From the Train, Jumanji one and two, Big Fish, The Rainmaker, Hoffa, just off the top of my head. He often plays himself in the part, but he can act very well when he so chooses.

DeVito actually can act and is likeable. I get the writing did her no favors, but derpface McPronouns is simply unlikable and it has almost nothing to do with her appearance, see recent Snow White movie debacle. And there are plenty of likable young child actors out there who are not charisma...

Thats the problem. Everyone is fundementally broken these days, even ourselves. You just need to be patient and wait until you find someone who's damage lines up nicely with your own. But its worth it to keep trying and I bet the kids are happy for you taking some at bats.

@Koushirou I think it boils down to men just want to solve problems (so they can shut down and decompress) while women just want to vent (an not actually solve the problem). I believe this is down to how we are wired, but gay couples seem to also end up in this dynamic in some form or another...

The underage lesbian bi racial carpet mucher simulator was part of the DLC and technically part of the first game's storyline. The mall shit was cringe as fuck and let to the "Ellie is gay, by the way." meme. The other half of it was her sneak sniping a bunch of canables and infected at a...

Yeah black strong woman was basically his prototype for Gigantor. He pushed for that character to be in UC4 and when Amy resisted, he used that as a basis to force her out.

Sarkeesian had a hand in wrecking this franchise as Druckman was a disciple of her bullshit. The core story elements had already been hashed out for the first game by Amy Hennig (who was lead on all the non shit Uncharted Games) before Druckman forced her out and took over for "not being...

Cyberpunk hits a little too close to reality.

The minute you realize Druckman wanted Abby to be the hero the entire time you will understand all his shitty writing choices in both the game and the second season of the show.

And yet the Marvel Netflix shows were able to be hugely successful, as well as The Expanse, Strange New Worlds, most of Stranger Things, and so on. So it is possible to do this kind of stuff without a balooning budget, at least when the Kathleen Kennedy Klan are not involved. And I think the...

This is why Soccer fans and NFL fans are completely incompatible. One gets excited by over an hour of stalling, flopping, and only a couple points scored. The effort in this show is amazing, but the pace is glacially slow and has been since the start of season one. That works for a setting...

What Khane said pretty much. Their goal is to just get as many Poos in the door as they can no matter what. The idea is if they can convince other upper management types that the complete ineptitude of the Poos is offset by their lower cost. Meanwhile the whities he is pushing out will be...

Yeah looking at that screencap makes me laugh, too. Ignoring the whole where did these bitches get eyeliner and lipstick in the post apocalyptic trope (the games got this right, but most shows hand wave it), check out the jacket on her box munching pal. New off the rack, not a hint of grime or...

Yeah a lot of the Bill section was the gameplay crawl across town and starting the truck at the end. Most of the lore bits were tucked in written notes left around by Bill and his pal. The interactions with the trio were good for filling in some back story and kind of building up Ellie (not...

How could you like that? In the game Bill being gay was completely subtle and understated. Most of the interaction was getting the car battery in a town packed with zombies because Bill owed Joel a favor from his raiding days. It was about the intense crawl through town and into the school...

The big Zombie seige was their attempt to hand wave Joel getting ganked by gigantor. Same bunch of faggots who defended the second game are coming out of the woodwork to defend the second season of this show. Sorry, this is shit and everyone knows it. Lets ignore Joel's demise and all of the...

I decided to NG+ with my kung fu character. Palm Blast trivializes a lot of boss fights, but against some AE spamming bosses that move around constantly (Bayle) I bust out the Tree Spear with the big holy shot. Powered through the main game enough to open the expansion plus Ranni questline for...

The show where nothing happens is back...... And Luna is doing a low rent Pedro Pascal impression just in time to put off people who actually pay for entertainment instead of stealing it. That aside, the pace of the first season was way too glacial, ESPECIALLY the three episode prison arc, and...

Most of these companies are so fucking far behind on their kickstarter fullfillment that they could have finished their shipping a year late and still had time to spare before Trump ever took office. To those companies (especially Peterson Games), I say first fuck you for trying to save a buck...
