  Oh gosh, i did that a couple years ago. We had some people leave, including my manager. I was a lead engineer. I was also leaving, I was promised a position at a 27% increase in salary. But it is a big, international company and their HR was painfully slow at getting me an offer letter. It ended up being 3 weeks from interview to offer. In that time, I just had to sit through several rounds of meetings with the COO, restructuring our group. I was a pivotal part of this plan. Finally, he had the plan finalized. And I got my letter. Handed in my two weeks the same day. No regrets. Love the new place.

  Also, that COO wad not an insignificant factor in people leaving.

  Take off my glasses. Put on my safety glasses. Don’t care if those break, the company paid for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you fell out of love with.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. Once you have a good, strong base it turns into a cozy survival game. Make a fort, decorate it with skull lamps and nice furniture. Go out, kill some mutants and dry their limbs for dinner. Plant some blueberries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you fell out of love with.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Forest. Man, I had a fantastic time in that game. Solo, and co-op. But after I beat it with a buddy, and we used the end-game artifact to create an excellent trap and base, it basically lost its appeal. The fun is in the struggle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you pretend Star Trek stopped after First Contact, it’s a lot better. I really don’t understand why they keep trying to make new trek, or who is watching it. Who is it for? It’s too fast, too action-y. Too many camera angles. The writing and acting feels like teen drama. Where is the professionalism, the decorum, the reserved nature of Starfleet? And what little humor there should be, should be dry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An oopsie occured⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going outside in this weather. Especially if I have to put pants on. They should just send a second driver to pull my Arby’s out of the burning wreckage and finish the delivery without me having to tell them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i mean⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wtf is that controller? Some kind of new-fangled wireless abomination? That’s not original hardware. And, since it is new, why did they put no effort into fixing the joystick? You’re just going to get a floppy dick stick in a few years with it anyway.

  Regular length tongue is fine. It’s just not inserted all the way in the picture.

  It’s going to take a long time to get all the shards out. They’re in there pretty deep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your teenager AND your husband⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to be dreadfully underweight before my Crohn’s was under control. I tried to squeeze in calories wherever I could. Most of the time, I had meal replacement shakes with my meals. Then, I found meds that worked for me and my eating habits backfired. Every now and then, I may slip back to my old ways by following out a loaf of bread and filling it with a container of Nutella and eating the entire thing in one sitting. Hence why I am now 246lbs.

  Been there, done that. With half and half instead of milk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would love to get an audio player on my old Powkiddy V90. It sucks as a gaming handheld. But it’s small, has a headphone jack, and a physical volume wheel. That would be awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still rocked it yesterday. It’s a great little MP3 player. I take it rustic camping because the battery life is so good.

  Daylight bulbs only belong in the bathroom. That’s the only place I want to see things that bright. Also, if there’s anyplace you want to feel sterile and hospital like, wouldn’t it be the bathroom?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Antique. I’d say mission style furniture. My father in law used to do restorations. But it really isn’t my scene at all. My ideal house would be all mid-century. But I also like more modern contemporary furniture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have an extending table, too. It’s 4 person, extends to 6. But that puts the legs right between your legs when you sit on the sides.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife’s parents have a ton of antique furniture. They’ve given us some stuff, it is out in the garage now. They see our furniture, it is more modern. My mother in law has been pouty, “oh, I guess we need to sell all this before we die! You aren’t going to want any of this.” Thank you, yes. That is exactly what I want. I know that was supposed to be a guilt trip, but that is exactly what we want. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.

  You dry your balls first, then your ass. Then, you get in the shower. After the shower, you use the same towel again to re-apply your musk. Women love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love headphones. I have quite a few very good pairs. And headphone amps. And portable headphone amps. Ive been in the hobby for about 10 years now, maybe a bit more. My hearing is still excellent (according to hearing tests I’ve had). Aside from my tinnitus, which ive had since I was a kid. Just be mindful of the volume levels.

  It’s efficiency. The subject matter is the frank n’ beans, who cares about the rest? Likewise, I would be perfectly content with receiving faceless melons flopped out of a bra.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Velma can't math.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was making grits the other day. The can had instructions for 1 serving, and 4 servings. I didn’t want 1 or 4, I wanted 2. So, I wrote a quick interpolation program on my Casio. Once I ran it, I realized 2 is just double of 1.
