…I really need to get tested for ADHD. This community has single-handedly convinced me.

Between this and Israel, the American military industrial complex is well fed and well employed. “More war” they say

Took me two reads but it made me snort. God damn that’s clever.

My reaction to it was weird. I was kind of digging it for the most part in the beginning thinking I’d get hooked like I did with Ori.

But that never happened and somewhere mid game it just felt like it was dragging, the characters felt stale, and it seemed difficult for the sake of being difficult instead of clever. I struggle enjoying games that require perfectly timed button press combos. I even went back and tried it again like a month ago and had the same experience.

That’s not a knock on the game, of course. It’s a huge fan fave for a reason but it’s just not my preference.

I visited a few out of mindless curiosity and ignorance. I have no idea wtf I read and now the FBI is after me…

For something that I really hesitated to post, that was really encouraging to hear. Thanks!

I hated Hollow Knight. I decided I wanna try Sekiro and I’m waiting for it to go on sale (who knows when). But this? Man I want to play this. It looks incredible and has amazing sound design.

I know that feeling all too well. Funny enough, I’d thought about going into software dev because I thought it’d let me work alone more comfortably. Along the way I found a way to learn dev but apply it to my job instead, making me pretty unique at what I do. It lets me innovate, do deep research, and work on my own while being pretty openly anti-social. Luckily I have a boss who sees the value in me.

I can’t tell you the number of once-interns and junior managers, stuck-in-a-rut folks, that I’ve quietly influenced to senior or higher positions. It really does feel incredible! I call it “leading from the back.” I’ve been wanting to write a book on it - the introverts and individual-contributors who quietly (and happily) influence without being seen.

This would make an incredible stop motion. The mind reels with story potential.

How…how does this become a habit?
