  • Sometimes calls work out in your favor. I’ve been sending emails and messages to a guy for a few days with no response over his new device and remote desktop issues. When I finally reached out, he was having work done at his house and had to keep stepping away to talk to the construction workers. Got to stretch a 30 minute fix into half a day of billable hours.

    I would much rather him just follow the instructions on the email, but it’s an early Friday for me.

    Edit: got to finish up some project work while on hold and now my day is free after hitting my magical ticket hours for the day. Fuck this job lol




  • Younger millennial (wish me happy 30th in a few months) coming in. I had my niche group of PC nerds who played CS:S, WoW and L4D basically on release. We all knew we were dumb ass kids coming into a scene. We got verbally destroyed in Vent and TS servers when doing ESEL CSS and dunked on while learning boss mechanics in MMOs.

    I was always one to just want to have fun (shout out to surf_, aim_ag, and mg_ CSS maps). But I was in the trench as a plus one in a bunch of junk. I always felt like my other group of friends were out of the loop of gaming when they would just Autoaim headshot everything in sight on console COD4 and WAW, but I never got that group to try PC

    After I graduated high school I just played dota 2 for two years until I was drained from comp play, then I just started queueing/playing games without caring about my rank. I’ll check meta of what I’m playing and know a tad beforehand, but I can’t be arsed to care about a winding down activity.

    Tldr: Squeakers that played Source and/or 1.6 are adults now and are tired of comp play imo. One of my core group is still a Wow head and coaches raid clears, but we are just a bunch of tired adult stoners who dick around with FGs or rogue likes now.








  • My mother in law entered some contest where the votes had to be verified through Facebook. It was the first time I logged in since 2016 or so. The majority of my feed was AI pics of kids missing limbs, or chicks with impossibly large tits/body proportions with the description “Please wish me a happy birthday no one else did” with 40 hashtags of celeb names or movies/shows that came out around then. Mixed in was fake news bullshit or videos that had 4 different watermarks on it. Maybe if I used it more I would see somewhat relevant things, but its worse than I thought if that’s a normal feed.

    When my family adopted a street cat she liked to sit in the window and still keep a lookout on the neighborhood. We tried to let her outside, but she made it very clear she liked living with us pretty fast. A few times some rough looking cats would just run up in our yard or porch and start howling to her. She would see them and run away. Some street kitties just like the inside.
