You know, maybe i dont know enough about games as i am a casual these days, aside from baldurs gate 3 which is a fucking masterpiece, i really like the 2 (soon to be 3) star wars jedi games outcast and survivour. They are like a much easier souls mixed with the 3d prince of persia (sands of time, warrior within, two thrones) games but are very story driven. I am very excited to see what will happen in the final game in the trilogy qhen it comes out.

If you dont mind me asking, how old are you?

I grew up from 0 to mid-20s watching tv this way. As a child in the UK we had limited options, there were 4 (eventually) 5 analogue tv channels, which quite early on became something between 30 and 100 when we got "sky" tv (satellite) and that became somewhere close to 500 with some duplicates a bit later. But all of this was adverts every 10 to 15 minutes. Most programs ran in 30-minute blocks, including adverts. So either your show was 20 minutes with a break in the middle and the end to make it to 30, or it was 40 mins with a break every 10 minutes to make it to 1 hour. Breaks were about 5 mins each.

Generally this lead to channel hopping, you would watch fresh prince of bel air until the break, then swap to 5 minutes of a show that you dont need to follow like cow and chicken or a music channel and then swap back to fresh prince to catch the second half. As we got older, the breaks became a chance for talking or getting a drink or something.

Thats why i ask if you are young, because im 36 and i can remember tv being this way and not having an issue, but also feel like i couldnt go back to that way because its so much better now.

The issue is the big streaming services are all going that way and putting adverts before and even in between and in the middle of shows so soon i will be back to piracy :/ i guess.

They sound a lot like an ex colleague of mine who had aspergers. They latched on to me because they got promoted to a different team in the same office as me when i got promoted and they would not stop talking to me, and about the most inane and mundane shit. Stuff i didnt gove a fuck about

I would be polite i would answer and engage in the conversation but if it had been too long and i felt managers eyes in the back of my head i would just fizzle out and start to turn back to my screen and say something like "ok, well, i need to get on" and they would go away.

I believe they were this way because of aspergers. They could never tell when i was uninterested or when i was busy with something. They didn't pick up on social cues. They just kept talking.

I wonder if it's a similar reason with your colleague?

I never liked track 3. I skip straight to track 4 to save Time

You should know. Money is in 7/4 thats 7 quarter notes in a bar.

I guess the sad thing is, that given the way things are, i cant blame people for thinking this way. Because be honest. Would you put it past them to not do it?

I can 100% see healthcare and pharmaceutical companies doing this for profits.

And the owl turned 360 degrees, and walked away...

Wow! So wealth transcends racism?! We've done it boys! 😜

To anyone downvoting this. It's meta humour and its spot on.

What is it that a fartographer would do exactly?

If a cartographer maps out the land, would a fartographer map out the bowels?

And it wears me out....

I really dont mind sucking at capitalism.

That's like saying "you suck at giving people cancer" or saying "you are terrible at being a complete dildo"

Yeah. I am fine with that.
