I bent my wookie!

That’s my favorite Isaak C. Clark quote.

I like how the QA department for Mythic Quest is always just two people. A game as supposedly huge as MQ would need way more (unless they mentioned outsourcing QA and I never caught it).

Outside of a few essentially third world countries that I could save up a few grand and bribe my way into, there really aren’t any countries that are too keen on accepting Usians for citizenship. You might have better luck if you have a doctorate and speak the local language fluently.

I had a buddy that expatriated to South Korea years ago to teach English, but I think last time I checked in he was still juggling work visas and had no real chance of being a citizen.

I could be wrong though, I haven’t checked in on him in a while.

It’s the tool that you use to open the SD/sim card slot on phones.

I keep one in my wallet along with a safety pin, hairpin, hair tie, and a twist key from an old fashioned roll top anchovy tin.

Any one of these things have come in handy a surprising number of times.

I feel bad because when I game watch videos on another screen while the game is muted on the other.

Hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars wasted on voice acting and sound design. Most of the stuff I play isn’t immersive, though, more narrative driven/puzzle based.

I found Kyle “The Yellow Dart” Smith, everyone!

Ia! The black goat of the woods with a thousand young! Ia!

I once worked with a Kaylee, but she pronounced it Kali, like Cali-fornia, or Kali-mah…

Took me a month to get that sorted in my head.

I was briefly married to a Georgia, but the family wasn’t Southern. The fathers name was George and that is also what he named his first son, so his first daughter was Georgia.

Never have understood the phenomenon of fathers passing down their name, you’ve already cursed your child with the family name, why make things harder on the poor whelp?

I’m imagining the fiercely polite scowl he would display if served a latte.

That thing you like doing that makes you feel better? Stop it.

Instead do this thing that is tedious/boring that you never look forward to.

Eventually you will fool yourself into enjoying this boring/tedious task and trick your brain into releasing dopamine when you perform it.

Not true! It could also be because one or more of them didn’t pray/pay enough!

Similarly, the people called ‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ in the US do not have Dutch ancestry for the most part. They were German and referred to their homeland as Deutschland, locals anglicized it to Dutchland, hence ‘Dutch’.

In our next class, we will discover the interesting history of the Jerusalem Artichoke…

My mother had a doctor that refused to move forward with knee surgery because she was so depressed and refused to do therapy because it hurt her knee so much to move around.

I guess I understand, why go through the trouble of surgery if she’s just going to be a bummer couch potato afterwards and never change her ways?

But at least she’d be a bummer couch potato whose knee didn’t threaten to give out on her whenever she tried to do laundry in the basement.

If I take my car in for new brake pads, don’t refuse me service because the transmission is on its way out.

Slappers only!
