Rock paper Shotgun absolutely sprinkles their British personality into everything. It’s why people like me continue to subscribe.
I prefer that.
I’ve changed my password 11 times since I worked at this job.
How do I know that? Because my solution has been password+1.
Summer2024 is their password? Jeez. What a idiot.
Mine is a proper set of lowercase and uppercase characters, numbers, and symbols, written in a post-it note and taped to my laptop.
This is the first I’ve heard of it.
Beans? Like coffee?
Ah that’s why he sued, and didn’t go through the “proper” cartel channels.
I’m okay with boomer company disappearing in the market.
Always been a fan of Japanese bikes anyways.
Oh no we have to work harder.
Do it for Yacht.
It always bothered me that Ubisoft sells micro transactions to level up characters in a single player game. Like wtf who is buying this stuff? And why?
Why pay to avoid playing a game?
Totally get it. I forced myself to play the “quests” and ended up loving just playing house. It really lacks a strong overarching story beyond killing mutated dragons and getting buddy buddy with the factions.
At my age, I’m kinda amazed how many games come out that are incredible. I still haven’t played half of the best games of 2023. So I have hope that Bethesda will do a Fallout 76 and suddenly Starfield is awesome.
If it doesn’t happen, that’s okay too. by that time, I’ll have to play the best games of 2024, 2025… Etc.
While you were over there playing your folklore Monkey game, doing your Fortnite dances, and trying to be Elden Lord, I was here studying the blade enjoying Starfield loading screens.
Core memory right here.
I love the Wario games because they were so chill. You were a invincible protagonist whose goal was solving puzzles and getting money.
There’s a tool sharing program in my neighborhood. You pay like $20 a year for access, and come by, borrow a tool/leave a tool. It’s great as people leave lots of big tools sitting around doing nothing.
I want that for computer parts and wires.
Lets pool our ps/2 keyboard adapters and VGA cords together!
And then he pushed for Universal Healthcare? We went into a major depression and his work pushed us out of it? Repealed “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”? You know how shit it was to travel to other countries under Bush thanks to the Iraq War? Do you know that minorities for decades saw the presidency as a “Old White Dude club” since forever?
People acting like they fucked around for their presidency.
I see it as two types of people.
Managers expect quick responses. They jump into meetings. They ask for frequent status updates. They’re pissed when you ignore them for a day.
Makers need time to think and create. They code for hours of uninterrupted time. They’re generating art or fine tuning a song. Asking for a status update is an interruption, and every interruption isn’t a lost moment, but a severe disruption.
You’re seeing that in the comments. Some are makers. Some are managers. We both require different things.

If you fire off a email and youre pissed that they’re not responding on YOUR time, thats a YOU problem.
It’s not about it being complicated. It’s about knowing boundaries.
Nah.
Do you drop everything to respond to everybody?
Seems miserable to be at everyone’s whim and you should reconsider.
Creatives like artists and engineers really need Maker Time to operate. They got this far in life for a reason.
I personally ignore emails with vague responses, especially if they treat email like a text message. Im not interested in instant communication via email.
For example:
“Can we meet?”
Should have answered the 5 Ws and name a time so the email is actionable. Otherwise I’ll boomerang it and reply in a few days.
It was called “Y2K if it happened”.
Crowdstrike is a dead company now.
