You throwing babies away?

You liked the drunken bum half. It just gets more stupid when the other guy’s woman is a super hero too.

The ludicrousness is the point. “Capture a creature in a ball”… How close is that to Red Dead’s lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I’m certain it was someone’s “technique” while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.

Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said “I see you’re using my method to build a house! Pay up!”

Well, you can’t patent something like that!

Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says “You’re using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!” and that one is a unique mechanic?

How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it’s a digital arrow?

Then at least use something fancy like a flight stick! The F710 makes… anything newer than the Gravis Gamepad look like luxury!

Just get the F310, like me, and you can enjoy that three foot range without batteries.

Also, WHY DID THE SUB USE THE WIRELESS VERSION WHEN THE WIRED IS CHEAPER AND WIRED?

But, you and everyone else would just say “I want this job” but they want the best person for the job. Putting up with bullshit is invariably going to be part of the job.

I said all these things to my partner when I saw the ad as well.

I’ve spent more time helping my kid write Steam reviews of the games they’re playing than this Dad did on writing a letter to his daughter’s hero.

Simple as. Don’t be surprised when the kid puts you in a crappy home to afford more Gemini credit or whatever.

I mean, the DIN hole was a standard size but it certainly wasn’t a ‘socket’ and anyone who had a Ford Focus that needed a Mercedes-Benz writing harness to plug up their aftermarket radio knows what I’m on about.

I would call IT and give them error codes and attempted remedies. They would do house calls and leave with a few rip its. Everyone in my office usually had my call IT because they (my coworkers and the IT guys) knew I’d at least tried something. If someone else from the office called IT, they knew that I was out of the office or the user was lying about something.

My office phone has a dial tone. It’s VOIP but when you pick up the receiver it BOOOOOOOPs… So I think it was last week I heard one…

Hopefully not for the last time…

My Dell XPS 13 (Windows) will kill it’s battery if you look at it funny… Or don’t look at it at all.

One time, I fully shut down the laptop and put it in my carry-on.

When I took it out after my flight, my bag was suspiciously warm and the battery was fully dead. Power management on Linux might be a joke but Dell is certainly the Carlos Mencía of the comedy club. At least I know my enemy now though. I unplug the battery to turn it ‘off’.
