Engineer. Retro console modder. Pen and watch enthusiast.

  • Oh gosh, i did that a couple years ago. We had some people leave, including my manager. I was a lead engineer. I was also leaving, I was promised a position at a 27% increase in salary. But it is a big, international company and their HR was painfully slow at getting me an offer letter. It ended up being 3 weeks from interview to offer. In that time, I just had to sit through several rounds of meetings with the COO, restructuring our group. I was a pivotal part of this plan. Finally, he had the plan finalized. And I got my letter. Handed in my two weeks the same day. No regrets. Love the new place.

    Also, that COO wad not an insignificant factor in people leaving.

  • They aren't my sunglasses, they are my regular glasses.

  • Take off my glasses. Put on my safety glasses. Don't care if those break, the company paid for them.

  • No Oakleys, can't do it. Not that I give a shit about brands, I just love how comfortable the Airdrops are. No nose pads, straight bows that grip to my bald head instead of uncomfortably wrapping behind my ears. Crazy lightweight.

  • Awesome! Love your period hardware. I have a complete XP setup, but I would love a 95/98 setup. No more room.

    I did install 86Box last week, though! And installed 98SE. I was also partying like it's 1996 with Microsoft Hellbender!

  • Nah. Once you have a good, strong base it turns into a cozy survival game. Make a fort, decorate it with skull lamps and nice furniture. Go out, kill some mutants and dry their limbs for dinner. Plant some blueberries.

  • The Forest. Man, I had a fantastic time in that game. Solo, and co-op. But after I beat it with a buddy, and we used the end-game artifact to create an excellent trap and base, it basically lost its appeal. The fun is in the struggle.

  • My parents had one with "points of interest" pre-programmed into it. Tried to go to a casino, ended up at an abandoned barn.

  • Thanks! It definitely elevates a game of Yar's Revenge.

  • I made one a few years ago with some arcade parts. It's a little bulky, but works. And, hopefully, shouldn't break.

  • I see some water there. Backpack inflatable kayak?

  • If you pretend Star Trek stopped after First Contact, it's a lot better. I really don't understand why they keep trying to make new trek, or who is watching it. Who is it for? It's too fast, too action-y. Too many camera angles. The writing and acting feels like teen drama. Where is the professionalism, the decorum, the reserved nature of Starfleet? And what little humor there should be, should be dry.

  • Finally, I'm normal. I'm so happy.

  • I'm not going outside in this weather. Especially if I have to put pants on. They should just send a second driver to pull my Arby's out of the burning wreckage and finish the delivery without me having to tell them.

  • Wtf is that controller? Some kind of new-fangled wireless abomination? That's not original hardware. And, since it is new, why did they put no effort into fixing the joystick? You're just going to get a floppy dick stick in a few years with it anyway.

  • Regular length tongue is fine. It's just not inserted all the way in the picture.

  • I worked at a sugar factory. Beet sugar does not require that step. It's quite an interesting process. We did use formaldehyde at one stage, though.
