You cannot change it once created

Red dead is the only game I’ve laughed out loud and literally cried at the screen. It’s a masterpiece.
- Comment on how good are you at lying during job interviews? 2 days ago:
You kind of jumped from one thing to the next, as an interviewer nothing super jumps out yet, but for clarity maybe tell us how this part went specifically, what did each party actually say?
Why I think the second job rejected me: I was assigned to 2 coworkers who started prying inquisitively about my job experience and expectations. I told them I don’t want to go back home with back or leg pain or feeling broken, I don’t mind doing my pause after 7 hours of working and not 4 but I actually NEED my pause, one every day, I also told them I don’t live to work but the other way round (this is nursing).
That just feels like two separate conversations and we’re missing some key info. No judgements, if you said something we’ll tell you, but I won’t judge.

I forget who but a comedian said it well. If we were intelligently designed it was the first design. Why would they ever put the advertisement park right next to the sewage system?
- Comment on Bethesda planning a Starfield space gameplay revamp to make it more rewarding 3 days ago:
I’m right there with you. Starfield was… meh. It was fun for about 25 hours and then dropped off immensely after that. I was so disappointed in the half-built systems. You can make your own spaceship! But you can’t really do what you want with it. You can assign members to different ships! But they won’t fight alongside you or help you in any way. You can colonize planets! But you can’t do anything there except a very rudimentary and limited crafting system. You can explore! But each transition to a new planet involves 5 loading screens minimum. Explore the future of humanity! Which is apparently only 5 real settlements.
It was not the AA experience they promised us. Honestly it was closer to Outer Worlds for me - a fun game, wasted some time, but not worth the 8+ year hype.

- Comment on Andrew Callaghan | Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan [1:26:38] 1 week ago:
Yeah, and he also apologized and has tried to make amends, and then still is putting himself out there trying to do good things. People are complex, can do both bad and good - and we definitely shouldn’t demonize someone trying to repair themselves.
- Comment on human geography 1 week ago:
We had an issue in my college town in the Midwest. Someone almost got expelled because he called out loudly a ground squirrel, which in his local town they called… Squinnies.
This was in college, which hosts many Asian students and he did it in front of them. I believe his phrasing was pointing in a general area and yelling something like “look at all the squinnies”.
Now, to many it could definitely be misheard as “squinties” a derogatory term. He got into a lot of hot water and if I remember correctly, a professor who studied local dialects actually knew the term and was able to save him.

- Comment on We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them 1 week ago:
Freaking YES. Movies need to spoon-feed a bit and so does TV, but you have a whole medium that lets people be as confused or not and that’s a great thing. If a player doesn’t care, there are options to not dive deep, if they do they will. My first playthrough I was confused what the genophage was. I heard bits and pieces but was genuinely confused. You know what I did? I walked over to my crew mate who mentioned it and asked him! Why is that so hard, the unknowns al_are_ the suspense! It’s what keeps me playing.
Compare that to mass effect Andromeda where they introduce it by having two characters explain it at length in front of the player. This event that would be on par with WW2. So natural. “Hey friend, I was just thinking about WW2. You know, that war that involved the acid vs the allies fought between 1939 and 1945 in which we saw a fascist leader march across Europe?”. Jesus hell have some respect for your players, stop fucking spoon feeding us.

Profit is more important than rail maintenance. UP (who just bought Norfolk Southern), BNSF, and CSX have all proven that.
It’s well past time for rail infrastructure to become part of the public ownership again - same as the interstates and airports.
- Comment on Help. 2 weeks ago:
Don’t forget that in the US we also have built our towns and cities to be isolating. Most don’t walk home from work, pop into their local bar/coffee shop/park to see their neighbors and then finish their walk home. We get in our car alone, drive home where then going out means getting back in a car, and stopping on the way home means figuring out drivers and parking and meetups.
We lost our third places and now we wonder why we don’t know our neighborhood as well
