Environmental consulting. It’s a lot of office work, but there is still field work that can fall outside of the normal hours, but usually not by much.

I wonder if it’s because they had 10 million ready to go in June for launch so most people who wanted one got one then. Especially because it’ll never go down in price, why wait until the holidays unless you have kids?

I love mine. The FPS boost alone in Zelda and Pokémon made it worth it for me. Cheaper than the GPU I want for my computer too. Then again, I went all in on the Switch in 2017 after skipping the Wii U, so more performance is fine with me. I do wish there was more stuff announced, though.

Do they… do they know what the C in CES stands for?

Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. My ADHD thrives on a normal fixed schedule. Emergency field work is always a mental exercise.

GTA VI will be delayed again.

This was my issue. The two times I posted real, actual questions that I needed help with, and tried to provide as much detail as possible while saying I didn’t understand the subject,

I got clowned on, immediately downvoted negative, and got no actual help whatsoever. Now I just hope someone else had a similar issue.

The only game like this I really play is Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. I refuse to pay real money, so I get two packs a day. It’s good for a 15 minute burst of… not quite dopamine, and then you’re off.

Similarly, Pokémon Quest is a game that falls exactly into this category with a charge system that depletes after every short level and reacharges once per hour, to a max of 5 in the beginning. I played it when new and then just recently went back and played it quite heavily, again. That is until I accidently undid something that took me a week of RNG to get, so I quit.

Generally, I hate the mobile game charge system, though. At that point, I’d rather just pay for a full version. And paying for charges is not the same thing.

Basically never now, thankfully. My old job would send me out to the field where a lot of the day was spent waiting for things to happen. Luckily those things often involved loud noises, so I’d be woken up and didn’t miss anything.

For more context, I work for an environmental company where part of our work is overseeing the importing and exporting of soil (dirt) and stone (rocks) from jobsites. Depending on where in the state you are, it could be a 3 hour round trip from the jobsite to the quarry/landfill. I’d bring a folding chair, or just sit in my car near where the loading/unloading was.

For import, the dump trucks would roll in and then just dump their whole load. The noise came from the tailgate slamming shut after the entire truck was emptied. It would wake me up every time.

Then for export, a bulldozer would be dumping rocks, concrete, or soil into a dump truck. That was usually pretty loud itself which would wake me up.

According to the weekly dump logs (lol), I never missed a truck.

I would hold things up to the landline phone in an attempt to show my grandparents things.

Funnily enough, the future came full circle.

I try to play a game once a day. Days where I can’t feel weird. Even if it’s just a puzzle game for 15 minutes, I try to play something every day.

Right after I learn about how much of a failure Copilot has been, and they do this. I’m not surprised, but man.
