Yes and no. It depends on the games. Usually I wait for discounts now though. I don't have time to play every game anyways so it saves me money to wait. Even during sales, I'll stop and ask myself if I'll play it soon. If I don't think I will, I usually just wait
Such a shame it turned out the way it did, but the writing was on the wall. Every single reddit announcement thread was a shit show aha. I guess in a way they were transparent about only being in it for the money. Their actions were always consistent
Yeah, I don't personally get it. We're on a salary too, so if we're getting our work done, that should be it.
They essentially have no idea how much work we can actually do, so they're trying to force the efficiency out of us. But I think it causes people to drag their projects out because they just get more work the faster they go. They're also tracking to see how long we spend on various pages/screens. So I don't think anyone can fudge their productivity at this point even if they wanted to.
There's no incentives to work harder as our raises dont really make up for inflation(even though we know they could! We all get to see the quarterly profits, and they're bringing in millions more each year). so it's this weird cycle of distrust and annoyance between the employees and our employer.
In my personal opinion, I think the logical solution would be to have a normal conversation with an employee who isn't working as efficiently and see how the employer and employee can work together to improve things.
I know the guys at the top could retire tomorrow and never work another day in their life. I don't understand why they don't. Life is too short to waste away at an office
I can't find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.

I haven't tried it yet, but there might be a better or easier way!
I've really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.
I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn't take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal
I've heard the borders of North Korea are pretty locked down nowadays. I hope some of these guys can escape and start living some kind of normal life one day.
I've started to feel this way as well in a couple areas of my life. I'm not sure, but I think it's probably bad to feel this way? Lol.
Like my outlook for my future doesn't look good, but I also feel like I've stressed so much about it I'm kinda like...yeah ok, so now what. Stressing just makes me feel bad haha. Just keep moving forward I guess. Maybe I can correct the course at some point.
The past week has been a mixed bag!
Not really amazing, but also not the worst I guess. My work is now tracking mouse and keyboard inputs for productivity.
In other news, Youtube messed with their backend, and it might have affected the impressions I was getting on my live streams? I'm not entirely sure but impressions dropped significantly this week. I think I'm getting too caught up on numbers rather than just having fun so I gotta probably say screw it and just have fun lol.
The one thing I've really learned about YouTube and creation over the years is how much work and effort people put into their creations. I think when it comes to media we often just look at the thing at face value and forget the time, effort, blood sweat and tears that go into making things.
It's made me really appreciate stuff in general which I think is really good/cool. Especially artwork in general. I found traditional artists incredibly impressive before. But now my mind is blown whenever I see cool paintings, sculptures or whatever it might be.
It'll be okay. I remember panicking years ago when they attacked other ROM sites. The games will go back up. Maybe in another location, but they always go back up. They cut off one head and another two grow back
Hmm, yeah, I get what you're saying. I guess for me, I don't feel like I have a ton of time to actually sit down and learn stuff, so any way I can make it more fun or give myself some kind of incentive to learn helps.
I know I want to get the end result, but it's just a matter of tricking my stupid monkey brain into thinking it's just fun games when I'm learning lol. It prevents me from getting bored long enough for me to dig in and get interested
Thank you so much! I'll have to give it a go!
I can't seem to find the website where this was spread. I keep just finding stuff about the store with the same name
