I feel this in my very creaky bones! I, too, have fond memories of playing EverQuest on a 56k modem and thinking how cool it was that I could play with people from all over the country and world. At least until someone picked up the phone and got me killed mid-fight! Ted wasn’t all that right with his choice of targets, but his assessment of our broken system back then was spot on, I agree. I wish technological improvements since those days didn’t come with the side of techno-fascism that we see today.

It’s called TypeWise and takes a little to get used to. However, for someone who absolutely hates digital keyboards, I like it the best of any digital keyboards I’ve used!

You are me. I am you. Old enough to be burdened with the memory of a world before the internet, doomed to watch the death of freedom because of it.

If you want to order a list that would otherwise be alphabetical, use numbers before the name. I do that for Steam categories, as well as other places like dropdown lists where I can control the content of the list but not the ordering of its display.
- 01 - Horror
- 02 - Loved
- 03 - Good
- 04 - Alright
- 05 - Needs more play
- 06 - Unplayed
- 98 - Disliked
- 99 - Hated
Doing this has helped me stay sane in some situations!

My FiL gifted me an art calendar from 1998. I was confused at first, then he said the calendar days of 1998 are the same days for 2026. So now that’s a thing we all know now!

The latter. She was loathed by almost everyone. We had a new FTE position open and a student hire (higher ed) applied and got offered the position. He was a fuckin’ rock star at this shit. Real personable and great at tech?troubleshooting.
He had a 1-on-1 with his Team Lead, who was cut from the same cloth as the interim director, and asked him how he felt things were going in the department. He laid out thoughtful points of ways things could change to improve morale, didn’t even mention the interim director or blame anyone for specifics. She didn’t like this new hire telling her how things could be better and he got fired by the interim director. Since he was a new hire, he was on probation.
It was fucked. Dude had been a student worker longer than the interim had worked in her previous finance position! She probably would have fired me had I been on probation as well!

At my company, at the first position I held, I was an FTE at a help desk. Management thought it was a good idea to mix it up and put people in change of units that were outside the expertise of those holding positions. Some shitty lady from finance, with an MBA, became our boss. She had this sort of mentality about time.
Previously, I’d stay until the job was done and not think anything of the time I was losing. I liked my job and helping people. She decided one day, when I left about 15-minutes to make a doctor appointment across town, that I had done something wrong and needed to work my entire 7.5-hour shift. She wanted us to note everything we did and document it for her review.
She fucked up. To comply, I wrote a program to track when I locked and unlocked my computer and log it with date time and show the running total of the time worked per day. I stopped staying late. I stopped returning from lunch early if I knew we were busy. People stood at the counter waiting while I finished incidental things at the end of my shift to prevent any late departures. I made sure to never leave early, but I never stayed late or took walkups near my 7.5-hour day.
Malicious compliance is my favorite kind of compliance!

After working with my therapist, I also understand them to be normal. I appreciate that I don’t have these kind of thoughts anymore about my son!
- Comment on yeet 4 weeks ago:
This hit a little closer to home than it might have to others. When my son was born in December 2019, one of the first nights I had him alone so my wife could visit a friend, I found myself unable to keep him from crying. At one point an intrusive thought of yeeting him down the stairs popped into my mind and horrified me. I wept alongside him and felt terrible. Told my wife and later my therapists about it.
Even though these thoughts can be normal in high stress/mental fatigue situations, it was still unnerving. Usually, my intrusive thoughts involve only harming myself. I felt comfort knowing that I would never act on it.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 month ago:
GoG was the first game platform to release a fully functional, clean, and well rounded experience, enough to get me to send them an unprompted, positive feedback to their devs. I really digged their user-centric approach and feature set. I am hopefully optimistic that their services remain at or better than current. However, it is 2025 (almost 2026) so I’m expecting another shoe to fall, even if all parties have a history of being solid players.
