Job Question:

In two days I begin my 8-week internship for vendor management for a mortgage firm. I am expecting a 20 hour work week and this is my first real job. How work-intensive is a position like this? Am I expected to work non-stop?

If it's an unpaid internship, do the bare minimum

Henlo, this evening I am going to get very very very drunk to numb the pain of this wisdom tooth I am most likely going to have to get extracted tomorrow (Cause exposed nerves are apparently insanely painful)

Post a video game and I will tell you what I really think of it through the filter of some very expensive whiskey

I will also likely post a bunch of random poo poo cause sure why not

The good Yu-gi-oh game just got announced for Pc, PS4, and Xbox. Switch to get an update to give it feature parity.

If you like single player card games Im not sure there is better.

Fuck you say?
One of my videos has hit a sudden ridiculous surge in popularity and has gone from 10k views to 35k in a matter of a few days and I always have to tell myself YouTube runs on luck, string and dandruff because there are content creators and videos with hours of care and effort put into them that barely scratch a few thousand and a half arsed montage suddenly becomes crazy popular

I have a bunch of new subs now but they're gonna be disappointed because I don't have any schedule and I have no real desire to make another video for the game I played :smith:

The pokemon TCG game was really good and Im still sad the sequel was japan only and that they never made more. Easily my favorite pokemon game outside of Gold and Silver

just fyi, there's a fan translation. the game doesn't feature any of the gold and silver pokemon, though. probably why it wasn't localized.

Nah, its the newest one. 10,000 cards from launch of game until July 2019, and every single story mode match has two custom decks made for it for each side of the fight in addition to letting you use your own custom decks to tackle it

The only complaint I have about it is that while it seemingly weights your draws towards cards you are missing in sets it doesnt just prevent you from getting dupes beyond the three needed to max out your collection so youll be spending tons of points grinding out each sets last cards.

Is it safe to assume it just ignores stuff like attacking the moon, attacking the levitation ring, and Kaiba winning a duel through threatening suicide? :v:

It gives those duels appropriate decks for those encounters, as best as it can, but they still follow the rules of the game as it is actually played rather than the first arc where the rules are made up and don't matter. It does a really good job of translating the anime decks and like I said every match is a custom deck so the devs made probably close to 300 or so unique decks for the game, maybe more, so each match has a chance to actually capture how the match felt in the show.

Coincidentally, when you play the reverse duels and have to play against the heroes this will make you hate Yugi Moto for running a dozen variations of an infuriating stall deck and Joey Wheeler for having a bottomless bag of bullshit.

Oh I just leave whatever has been bought for 3 weeks from when I noticed I have a new avatar. If someone overrides the current one then I would not know.

Anything that lets you support yourself (and your loved ones if required) and live a happy life without it making you miserable

It took me a long time to realise that a career will do nothing but make you miserable if all you want is a paycheck and a sandwich without your job trampling over your life

I've never used my degree and I've forgotten everything I learned. I'd never give up the years I spent at uni though, they were fantastic.

If I lived somewhere that forces you into crippling debt for pursuing higher education I probably wouldn't be saying that though.
