Someone in that org needs to be an adult and say no to pointless rebrands and brain dead consolidation. Literally nobody, even Google, is benefiting from this spastic behavior.

Yep, that. That right there. It sends me. It is so hard to hope some days, but it’s so precious too.

Sometimes the world seems so messed up that the simple goodness of hobbits and the brotherhood of dwarves hits different.

What specifically did you find janky? Except for the one CTD bug I encountered (and spent hours fixing) everything seemed pretty fair. I completed all ten main story missions with no major issues with difficulty. I died some, but was always able to figure out a way to approach each encounter that made sense and didn’t require exploits.

I’m not some elite gamer either; I’m a 41 year old dad.

Honestly felt it was pretty doable so long as you suited your tactics to the situation. This means you also have to build the skill of sizing up an encounter and selecting the right tool for it.

My problem with it was the thing that spit clocks. Took me forever to troubleshoot that issue and it was a hard crash to desktop type situation. Why that would be allowed to persist years after release is beyond me.

Yeah I don’t know about “likely” but it’s not a bad thing to have.

Come for the fantasy fiction, stay for the emotional devastation of troubled parent-child relationships!

They can’t man, it’s the only thing keeping out the vampires.

Cool, I’ma go tell my wife something we disagree on is idiotic and we’ll see how it goes. Should be fine, right? It’s not combative!

What an idiotic comparison.

.

…is incredibly reductive and combative. The world needs less of that, not more.

Be the change, homie.

In any case, do recall that many of us are in enterprise environments where we’re not the only decision makers. Plus, FOSS without reliable support contracts isn’t workable for many use cases. If something in FOSS goes tits up none of my customers will be satisfied with the great discussion I had with the devs about it and how they’ll totally get to it after Furrycon.

You might not be paying for software in money but you’re going to pay for it, one way or another.

I’m feeling stupid this morning, what were they doing with the thumbnail?

Dorn as an alarmingly competent Weasel was pretty nuts.

I can’t speak to a lot of these subgenres but power metal? Hehehe.

Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames. Not just a meme, actually a great song and very technical.

Powerwolf - Blessed & Possessed. Werewolves that work for the Catholic Church? I have no idea how that’s supposed to work but I’d read the book.

Sabaton - To Hell and Back. Sabaton writes a lot of songs about historical battles.

Powermetal has rather a lot of narrative ballads in it.

Oh, I’ve got a good folk metal band too:

Eluveitie - The Call of the Mountain. I love all the different instruments they use.

Alestorm - Drink. How the hell did I forget Alestorm? Who wants pirate metal?

Bloodywood - Dana Dan. Indian folk metal rap/rock … with a lot of English? I don’t know what’s going on here but it’s such a unique blend.

Someone mentioned Nightwish and here’s my favorite song of theirs:

Nightwish - Nemo

Dad stop.

Some people have made their ADHD (or “neurodivergence” more broadly) a core facet of their identity and worthy of pride and praise instead of an issue to be managed like diabetes or something.

It’s a coping strategy in reaction to all the negativity they’ve endured. So they go a step past acceptance into “actually no, it’s a good thing!”

Sorry bro, it isn’t. And the more severe it is, the more clear this becomes. Life demands certain things of all of us that require executive function and the side effects of ADHD like creativity and hyper-focus, are not worth being unable to remember to pay your bills, hand in your homework, or complete basic household tasks in a timely manner.

We give ourselves grace, we love ourselves as we are sure, but we just can’t start pretending our farts smell great or we lose all touch with reality.

I know it’s a meme but there’s an actual answer: because humans have them, and Dr. Soong wanted Data to feel human. That was the whole point of the project from what I understand.

Save hundreds of lives and go on countless missions to strange new worlds, but you fuck one ghost…

Ok but the snazzy office spaces don’t mean better conditions. All this shit means is corpo speak for "we’re asking 3 people to do the job of 15 until we decided that having someone crack periodically costs more than adding FTEs.
