I would watch the gently caress out of a Dune movie with the same aesthetic as BR2049. No I have not seen the 1984 Dune movie.

lynch's dune is the absolute sickest aesthetic and it would completely suck if they copied blade runner for the vaporwave idiot bros

You know, i would've thought the 20 year right wing grift thing she's been running for 20 years would've paid off better for ol' Ann.

Glad the dying alone, unmourned and unloved thing is still right on track though.

The human I work with pretty much never comes into the office but still manages to make dealing with him impossible. He's one of those incredibly talented developers with 0 interpersonal skills.

I know the feeling all too well. It really makes work miserable when you have to deal with your day to day drama on top of dealing with an adult who behaves like a self entitled child and is still employed because he is just really freaking good at what he does. It sucks so bad.

quote:

It was only $200. I can spare that. I haven't bought a video game in 6 years. I deserve it, I earned it.

...

Finally. I had Gilgamesh. I had maxed out all of my unit inventory. I had to spend time to fuse units, I got my first Excalibur that day as well as some other great TMRs. But I finally had the Genji Golve and I could now make Chizuru strong enough to share with others. She could DPS at 350 attack and more! I could beat all the content with ease using her and Luneth. Yeah, I spent $700, but I would stop now. I had enough. I didn't want to be caught spending money I shouldn't on a video game. It was enough.

....

Noctis, Prince of all Trades came along. I got greedy. I pulled again...another $300. I got off easy there. I was again in the lead. I was on top. I had the best attacker, best support, best all around at everything. I didn't need anything else.

...

It was my birthday. The Brave Frontier banner was back. The Scyth weilding Queen Elza was back. It was my birthday and I wanted Elza. This was the first double 5* banner I ever tried to pull on. This was the first banner I pulled on after the guaranteed 5* base for Rainbows was announced. It was my birthday and I had to have Elza. I have to get what I want on my birthday. I charged $1500 that day to get her.

I was sick of my actions. I de-linked my card again. I now had a balance of nearly $4000, including other non FFBE related purchases. I had to find a way to stop. I transferred the balance to a new, zero interest card. My family was going on vacation and I needed to be clear to help with expenses. I had some cash saved, I was paying down my debt slowly, I had a plan, I was still in control.

....

Wait....WTF did I just do?!?!

Did I just really spend $2500 to get a little animated piece of code? What is my wife going to think? What will my kids say? I tell them I don't have much money to spare, I dutifully split my paycheck 3 ways, household expenses, savings and my spending money. I can do what I want with my spending money. I just won't get anything for myself for a year or so, pay this back to my card a couple hundred at a time.

...

I have never spent more than $1000 on my wife at one time. I spent $16,000 on digital garbage in about a year. If she decides that she will not divorce me, I owe her more that I could ever repay. I am not playing anymore. I will not get Cloud. I will leave 500K lapis in an account that will stay idle. The "friends" I have will drop me as my days since last played increases. I will not get to beat Marlboro. I will not see how Chapter 2 plays out. I will not have any 7* units. FFBE is over.

I became a gambling addict over a game where there is no return, no reward, for spending my money.

I Flushed $16,000 down the toilet over a game.

So a guy I used to work with and I were chatting the other day and he told me that he knew of a job opportunity and for me to send him is resume. So I did, it's a company in the industry but not a competitor of my current company. He told me today that he sent it over and told me the guys name. I realize that I recognize the name so I go to linkedin to figure out how, assuming I knew him through work channels.

I do.

He knows the manager that's two levels above me. How does he know him? They were loving roommates in college and have been best friends for decades.

I hope the guy has some bit of professionalism and doesn't tell my manager that my resume is out there.

There are a lot of folks unhappy with the movie. And it seems to be for basic movie reasons, not like, sperg-lord level inconsistencies. Still going to go see it theaters because doing that with friends is an experience, but my expectations are low.

Also TGIF my friends. I have a date tonight but I'm definitely going to be working late today because our company switched to a new accounting system. I'm in a video conference watching one of our managers try to learn and teach us the system in real time. This of course is cutting into me actually doing the work I need to get done.

My last company had their Christmas party during the middle of the day and they would take us out to lunch, but they had a strict alcohol policy that if we consume any during the party we could not come back to work, and would have to take vacation for the rest of the day if we wanted to get paid for it.
