  • Just finished last night, ohh boy what a trip this show was. I liked how the show started with the survivors already used to their environment, like they had been there for months. Really got imaginative with the different ways the characters interacted with the plant and animal life, like the scene where Ursula is staring at the flower. Some parts reminded me a lot of a Rick and Morty bit where Rick just invents something using the resources at his disposal.

    Highly reccomend this show, would love to see another season, which is why I have also been suggesting this show to anyone and everyone.




  • Just got this game called Tunic on PS+, currently the free game of the month. Went in thinking this is pretty cute, wonder how long I will stay engaged with this obviously kid targeted game. Turns out, it is about as in depth with the creepy lore and map memorization as hollow knight. The combat can also be quite difficult, it’s an isolated camera so hard to compare to hollow knight there, more dark souls like but much more limited in enemy depth or player abilities.

    Thoroughly enjoying it, good progression of skills and unlocks. It has a very unique way of guiding the player through the game, you find these pages throughout the game that when put together slowly form an old school game guide book. Everything from upgrade guides to area maps have to be found, the weirdest part is 98% of the words are in a fictional language and only very specific words are translated like the name of a boss or area. I’ve reached many areas in the game where I know I need to do something to that alter or rock or whatever and I just give up and wait to find the page that shows a picture of it and try to figure it out from there.

    Overall a fun game to figure out, it’s the first I’ve played since Subnautica where I am refusing to look any game guides because I want to figure this out myself.









  • Our hiring manager just flat out sucks at his job, rarely ever see him interviewing people and I know of several coworkers who have dropped their friends resumes on his desk and he never follows up with these recommendations. One of his main jobs is to keep in contact with our student co-ops and let them know their start dates after each semester, he doesn’t reach out to them and actually dodges their calls. Now here is the real shocker, he is untouchable because he is the former owners son.

    So, I noticed the past few months he’s been interviewing a lot more than the past few years, pretty obvious because he gives a building tour after each interview. I was talking to my secretary about it and she told me he got a real ass chewing because current ownership found out, after the fact, that his request to work from home ALL OF DECEMBER was actually a request to work from my vacation house in Florida, dudes barely older than I am and he just lives life on easy mode.

    Edit: Hope you see this, Fuck you Kyle!


  • As someone who holds both left and right views depending on the issue, I understand wanting to lean conservative. Social programs, better infrastructure, and higher taxes make sense when you can trust your government to spend your money wisely. The problem is they don’t and people in government are incentivised to not do their job efficiently because then they would lose funding or their job entirely. And lately, the right has no concern over lowering taxes for the average citizen or increasing government efficiency despite that being one of core fundamentals of the party.
