I used to make video game and tech content as a day job, from 2007 to 2020. Now I do QGIS stuff, Ignition SCADA things and water loss reduction shenanigans. I also write books that aren't very good. And I'm trying to make a game about a duck. Also, I run.

So, the scientists were armed members of the military?

Hehe, that is just like my first job.
But I just worked for someone really, really bad, not at Blizzard North.

Then again, I did pick up a chronic disease this year, so maybe that'll help.
But, mind you, if I ever win the lottery, look out for asteroids or those forever chemicals starting to kill all life on earth.

Counterpoint: he caters to racists, fascist and has blackmail material for the rest.

I get asked to an interview for a job that will uplift my entire family out of generational poverty - World War 3 is starting as we speak.
It's uncanny how every time something good happens to me, the world gets worse.
Sadly, bad things happening to me don't seem to improve the world.

I can afford to buy a pizza without having to justify or plan months ahead - Crimea annexed
I recover from basically being dead - Trump elected
I buy my first TV - Fascism starts winning elections
I can afford a vacation - Pandemic
I can afford to move - Full scale invasion of Ukraine

Wait a minute. Something seems off.
Your dad doesn't have a large spike in his head. But it looks just like him.
Weird.

I am honestly shocked it's only a 3:1 ratio.

Thanks.
It's huge. It's like "paying off the rest of the bank loan in 4 months, not 4 years" money.
It's, "I can go to good doctors" money.
Maybe even "buy my blood back" money.

Finally, enough memory for all those Skyrim texture mods.

Ooooh, that explains it, I had the other one. Pi? Not? Mor! Had the opposite effect.

I've got a giant book about a local necropolis where the remains of some Cucuteni culture people were found, among layers upon layers of others. We have so much detail about what they owned, what they wore. But we will never know their songs, their stories, their dreams. I wish we could.

Partea cu consumul nu m-a deranjat in trecut. Mi se părea ciudat inițial cs HD5850 stătea la 50 de grade idle când al doilea monitor era conectat, fata de 35 ca standard, dar m-am obișnuit. Inca sunt indecis. Pe de o parte CUDA, pe de alta, mereu alternam Radeon Geforce de prin 2008.

PCgarage are un MSI 5060 desigilat la 2200 lei. Pana sa îmi crape RX480-ul, mergea superb in jocuri, dar la producție video statea mai prost ca GTX750. Ma gândeam sa se fi schimbat ceva de atunci. Ni al 2 montoare, practic am 3, cu tot cu TV-ul pe care il mai folosesc la filme de pe PC sau jocuri

So, you're not the Stig. You're the Stig's parody news site owning cousin.

If I may make a suggestion that would be a great fit, "If I were Harap-Alb". A Romanian movie based on a fairy tale. In this specific scene,the hero fights a bear thinking it was his dad in a suit. The actor did it for real and ran very far away when they yelled cut. youtu.be/phtHVXGu-Dk?...

By coincidence, my new Unreal Engine zombie survival horror extraction looter hero shooter, The Last Days Gone Before of Us, is coming to Kickstarter soon, for just 30K$ I will make a 1000 player MMO fully interactive world and in no way run away with the money.

I've been thinking about a racing anime I saw 30 years ago and I couldn't remember much about it, apart from the general look. It would periodically pop into my head, but I always forgot about it.
Well, this is it. Through some kind of stellar coincidence, this is it.
Thanks!
