Japanese corporate culture is pretty crap yes. Good to know about that particular boss, though. I've been lucky, never had bad bosses - well was the one drunk that'd complain about working until 2100 when he came in at 1200... - just really awful management in some places. The former makes every day a sucky experience, the latter just draws out the misery over time

Or just warped by NA corporate culture. Complaints are more on duties rather than hours, which is fine, I think - hiring support but making them do DevOps work is a bit much. Good way to get free things like kudos and praise, at least. Sounds like something a **** boss would have on their door, heh.

Settled all the planets in Andromeda. Must have settings wrong but the game blinds me a lot - go to menu and come back to sunlit scene, white out. Disappointed to find a giant worm in the desert and just have it be background scenery though.- Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"
Best theory so far- The New Cinema and Movie Thread
Always found it interesting how they never seemed to show For a Few Dollars More on TV as near as often as the other two. As if they wanted to cover it up or something.- Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"

Well for me it's no wonder I got the grades I did. I talked to myself in the comments, pretty sure the TA's thought I was schizo..- Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"
Well he says he expects the West to turn over the needed goods soon. Who knows. Surprised it wasn't some scare tactic to get some new weapon.- Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"

Footage in that first Twitter post hurts my head. But at least there's trucks there. Also the workers were told to take Friday off, nice of the Russians What's causing you to whine about this ?- Random video game news... may the dice be with you!
Pharaoh did add the roadblocks I think, which is a big change. Half the fun of Caesar 3 was wrestling with the weirdo AI. I still feel pride at using warehouses like some sort of waystation to get around market ladies' food priority- Random video game news... may the dice be with you!

My life is defined through suffering 😛 Found some ancient text based game or something I was making when learning C#, at least I had the good sense to make as much OO as possible. Looks like I had some idea of use function pointers but C# lacks that it seems. Always fun to look at old code, well or any old work, it's like someone else wrote it- Random/Interesting/Weird
They do some fun ones, like masquerading as some tedious corpo training reminder or something along those lines. I still think the best "phishing" attempt I got was from the Illuminati just with a form that read Name : D.O.B : Credit Card # :- What You've Done Today - Dream as if you'll live forever.

Reminds me I need to take a peak at Guild 3...can't possibly be that bad, could it. Still grinding along in Andromeda, being the foreign saviour to these useless Angara that can't fix their planets. Is an "okay" experience, all said, combat is fun, the somewhat tedious Architect fights were enjoyable. I do like the crafting, grindy-ness aside, being able to augment the items and such, I dislike the UI a little but that's nitpicky. - What are you Playing Now?
