  • Damn I hope you got paid! I meant legit troublemakers like stealing stuff but no one could prove even though we all knew. Not doing work to expected quality. Causing drama within the group.

    At least the stories I’ve heard my company is pretty good about medical and mental issues. I know they kinda forced my old boss into early retirement but they made sure he’d get long term disability until actual retirement which was like a decade away. We’ve kept in touch and he’s happy as a clam with how it turned out.



  • I think my job is unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but sort important to the company and at least at the end of the day I got something done.

    I do enjoy my job the hard days go by fast and usually feel like we accomplished something. The easy days I can fuck around or work on projects I find interesting. Most days I learn something new at the very least so that’s good.

    I’m sure I could make more somewhere else but I make enough as it is and somewhere else I’d probably have to work a lot harder on less interesting stuff.








  • Analogue is shitty about supply. I understand they are a small company and can’t make an infinite supply like nintendo, Sony and Microsoft can but their scarcity market is insane. I checked the reddit and it seems like its a lot of fanboys and scalpers that scoop up all the units and leave few for the rest of us.

    Luckily I’ve been able to score an NT, Super NT, Pocket and 3D without too much trouble and now I can actually play my old cartridges on modern TVs again. I learned my lesson with the pocket though and waited until the colored versions came out for the 3D.







  • I worked with a dude who loved “ramen” but had never had it from a restaurant. He didn’t seem like he knew how to cook particularly well, and I’m not sure if he’d ever even left the suburbs he was born in.

    One day he was talking about how excited he was to go to a real ramen shop over the weekend. So next time I see him I asked how it went. He sighed and said he got a veggie ramen because he found out the meat ones were “made with bone” and he was grossed out by it. I could only say “of course, that’s how you make good soup.” Then I had to explain how you make stock or split pea with ham soup, etc. I think I ruined soup for him.
