Just got an unsolicited recruiter message saying "Les, I recently perused your resume and thought you'd be perfect for this JUNIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER role"
All caps and everything. Hard to tell sometimes if these things are a form letter, a personal roast, AI slop - or all the above
Like, nothing against junior software engineers? Just that I haven't been one since the year 1998 or so.
I beg of you, websites to which I pay money, please remember my login
I’m a little sad because I think Warframe as my reliable samefood video game for the past few weeks is about to run its course and thus I will abandon it again for 9 - 23 months 😔
Like, sometimes I envy folks who can be all-in on one game like Fortnite or CoD or WoW or whatever. And a lot of games now seem tied to the you’ll-play-it-forever-as-your-only-game service model.
But, my brain seems to love only serial enthusiasms that shift abruptly. I have a very, very small set of things that have remained consistent in general.
@randomgeek my problem with that sort of thing is i spend so much time trying to remember wtf i was last doing. Nice if i cam get back into the groove though
I did manage to get through the Warframe 1999 story and the dating simulator and I built the new frame, so that’s a pretty good chunk of content experienced there
@randomgeek i will say one of the nice things the Warframe folks do is offer a 75% coupon for premium currency after i’ve been gone a long while. So, they tend to get $25-30 from me at least once a year. And they’re good folks with a good game, so it feels like money spent on fun
@Osmose I keep expecting something gacha-flavored is going to hook me, but I don't think the gacha itself ever gets me. I poked at Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero in the past 12 months, but neither kept me for more than a few weeks. @tedmielczarek
Whenever I see a billionaire on some podcast, I imagine the host could do the funniest thing by producing a shovel and taking a surprise swing. In Minecraft, of course.
A thought that just occurred to me while making breakfast - which I’m sure is thoroughly discussed somewhere on the internet, but I haven’t yet googled:
Tron is an isekai
Dang it. While pondering how Tron is an isekai, I got distracted while making espresso.
I threw out the espresso I made while cleaning up the espresso making stuff. That happens more than I’d prefer
Watching this video on a recipe for the old cafeteria pizza in US schools.
I feel like someone could base an entire hipster food cart on Quantity Recipes for School Food Service by the United States Department of Agriculture, 1988 - and I would eat there
Like, I could absolutely imagine a food cart having a run on things like "Sweet Potato Prune Bread Squares" and "Salisbury Steak" and "Turkey Pot Pie"
Tamagotchi update: still voyaging to home planet. (These batteries last awhile!)
