Woah! This guy does suck. But, why won’t your wife very reasonably tell him “no”? He’d throw a fit, but he’s asking an awful lot and giving nothing. You two will have to work more to support him… and that’s not fair. Is he going to be there for the next four years?! Does he pay some rent, utilities, and cover food? Does he have household responsibilities?
For all that is good, you need to convince your wife that this is a terrible idea.
So far I’m enjoying it! It has a soft progression limiter where you get cursed in such a way that monsters get increasingly more damaging every encounter… this goes away after you run into this person a few times.
My only concern is that I’ll feel the need to replay it once all of the content is there… which I guess isn’t too bad!
I’m on a random app and while it’s obvious if I pay attention. I, occasionally, tap the down arrow by mistake while scrolling. Usually when I do this I notice it and undo it, but I imagine it’s happened a few times without me noticing.
Just saying it’s possible it’s some donkey like me that fat fingered a downvote.
I’m a rampant clicker/tapper and I bet I’ve unknowingly downvoted more than a few folks.
Ah yeah I could see that. My family got into it for a few months and was a lot of fun. I did have pretty good experiences with randos though.
Maybe give FFXIV a try! There’s a pretty expanded free portion that lets you play through a large portion of the game. I enjoyed the gameplay and there’s something resembling a story.
Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!
I just recently started playing OW2 again after several years. I was able to unlock all of the heroes just by playing. I didn’t pay anything. My kids also have unlocked the vast majority without paying anything.
Is the only difference here that you won’t have to get to level 30 or whatever on the free tier battle pass?
Since everyone’s mentioned the standards.
I’ve really enjoyed playing Tails of Iron (metroidvania with a focus on learning bosses attacks) lately. For programming games, I really liked Shenzhen IO (You create hardware with something resembling an Assembly language and a printable manual) and Human Resources Machine (drag and drop assembly programming)
I also have a soft spot for anything from Ska Studios (I maed a game with zombies in it, salt and sanctuary, salt and sacrifice, dishwasher, Charlie murder, and a bunch of older games that are probably not playable anymore)
Also looks like everyone else forgot to mention the great game that is Undertale as well.
You shut your mouth! No one talks about my boy Tom that way. (I vaguely remember Tom Bombadil being one of Tolkiens daughters dolls and that’s how he came to be in the book.)
Thanks I had no idea there was a book. I checked out the audiobook from my library
The makers of the infamous “Back Orifice” Trojan?
I feel so old.
He wants respectable looking women and young girls kissing? I guess everyone has their niche.
I might be messing something up here… but TJ is in Fairfax County isn’t it? Fairfax county is definitely “communist Northern Virginia”
Also, you stating that “there’s more to the story” is you doing a form of what I described above…which is pushing back on the person complaining and not on the underlying rude behavior.
I don’t think this is true. I stated that the staring behavior would be considered very rude and implied heavily that whoever is staring is in the wrong. To be clear, whoever is staring is in the wrong. They should not do this.
It’s more that I’m surprised that you’re running into this issue. In my social circle, staring would be considered extremely rude and, if I complained to others about it, people would strongly agree. This is what led me to believe that there’s some extra piece of info here. For example, maybe you come from a culture where staring is acceptable or you’re young and happen to be surrounded by jackasses.
I feel like there’s more to this story. My experience is US centric, but it’s considered very rude to stare at people… and I can’t imagine why anyone would tell you “maybe the issue is you” when you complained about folks staring at you.
I will say that a large number of guys don’t realize how obvious they are when checking out someone they’re attracted to.
Any tips on not having to buy new socks every 3 months? God damn socks develop holes far too quickly.
I’m sure there’s a personal finance thing around here somewhere!
Personally, I’d work on making sure I have a cash safety net. Something like 6 months expenses in my favorite high yield savings account.
After that I would pay off any loans with a high rate. If the rate is <5 percent, it may be worth putting that money into a 401k or investment account. If it’s above 5 percent, I’d consider paying it off early. The idea being that if it’s a low rate then you can invest that money and earn a higher return than it would cost you.
Aside from that, I’d do my best to max my 401k contribution to take advantage of those sweet tax benefits. If nothing else, make sure you’re taking advantage of any employer matches.
Again, awesome work on the job!
Company currently uses IPv6! For awhile firewall rules kept biting us as we’d realize something worked in ipv4 but not IPv6 but now I forget it’s even a thing really.
I once paid for a vpc host that was exclusively IPv6 and was shocked how many things broke. I was using it for a discord bot and the discord api didn’t even properly support IPv6 …
