Booker gets yelled at a lot so he very much knows his name well. He also knows Book or BookBookBookBook.
Hollow on the other hand does get called by his name, but he couldn’t care less. They both do get called several nicknames as well.
I personally enjoy the Curated Tumblr comm as well as Microblog Memes. Usually worth a laugh or a pique of my interest.
(Sorry I don’t know how to link communities, esp on mobile)
Don’t @ me, but I soak in the drama of Best of Redditor Updates and the fediverse isn’t quite suited to sagas like that yet.
But the guy who needed to not shit for 3 days made it over there. So that feels pretty noteworthy.
Those are words of wisdom that have always stuck with me too. The fact that your first thought can just be a hair trigger gross thing. But who you are is the reaction to that thought, and the actions you take then.
I was raised by racists and generally not-good people and I learned from an early age to lie lie lie. So recently when a friend was offering me money for something, my trigger thought was to ask for a few hundred dollars more. And just. Gosh, ew, no, no, that’s awful. I still feel bad about the fact that my initial thought was that, but the reaction that follows are where my morals actually lie.
Not an easy lesson to learn, but a very important one, IMO
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine
It’s a walking simulator with a lot of talking and a mechanic I didn’t understand. I couldn’t get into the actual game. I had found the soundtrack first and gosh it’s gorgeous. Great folk music.
I recommend the Vagrant Song, the deep south version
Mannheim Steamroller’s Up Above the Northern Lights
It’s been my favorite Christmas time song forever.
I agree that it’s the best, but I put a very close second of Mr. Mackey’s Carol of the bells from the south Park Christmas special. Ding Dong Mkay
My last one was ‘Insert WiFi Pun Here’ because I couldn’t think of a good one in the spot.
When I get depressed or stressed, I tend to withdraw hard. I’ve ghosted friends for months at a time before. The guilt that comes with a relative ghosting makes it really hard for me to reach out again and usually I instead just let go of the relationship.
But I had a frank conversation with someone I recently withdrew from and it feels like there’s still a friendship there for us both. So it’s tentative and covered in bandaids, but we’re on good terms again.
Taking the average worker from 1998 and comparing their output to today’s workers would be insane. And then compare the pay? I feel like I’d probably be mad as hell.
I work in mapping and in the 90s, everything was hand drawn. In the 00s, things switched to CAD, and then by 2010 or so our department went to GIS. We’re still using that same GIS program today but held to so much more insane standards. If I don’t have 98% first-pass accuracy on my mapping and data input, I get a talking to. If I’m not putting out 50 jobs a month minimum, I’m getting a talking to.
Comparing any of this to what some of our older staff members did in the 90s is just insanity.
And it’s a great game at that
For Dispatch-likes, perhaps other Telltale games would interest you. The Wolf Among Us was really good if I remember correctly. And the Walking Dead games were… a lot, emotionally, but good stories, the first one especially.
But gosh there’s just so many games out there. Maybe a Breath of the Wild playthrough would be up your alley.
A Hollowknight let’s play might be a bit boring, but I’m certain a lore video would be engaging.
Thomas Was Alone - that’s an older game so I couldn’t tell you if there’s any good videos of it, but it’s great.
Along similar old lines, BioShock games are good. And Dishonored in that same era/vein.
Killer Frequency might also be in the realm of Dispatch. Potentially Potionomics as well.
And any and all Supergiant games I think are great to watch or play. Loads of content in that company. And great songs :3
Heavy Rain is the best if someone’s got the SHAAAWN glitch.
I don’t remember if I’ve ever seen Womble’s Goose Game. I love this so much.
I’m a goose
12ft ladder has never worked for me, unfortunately. :/
Mine was all over the place to be honest.
Couldn’t afford college, so I joined the military as a weather forecaster - which is what I’d wanted to go to college for anyway.
After my contract, I tried to get into a college for meteorology, but because of the way some “classes” are graded for the military associates you can get, my GPA was technically too low for that program to accept me. I didn’t really have another choice for a college at the time, so I did a ton of research on bls.gov and decided to get a degree in geology.
Gosh I loved that program. But unfortunately I got really sick midway through and spent a lot of time in the hospital. What I was diagnosed with basically meant that I would never be able to be a geologist, so I had to swap gears again.
Instead I found GIS and got my degree in technical geography. Took a ton of internships that landed me with a good resume.
Now I work for a utilities company, making maps that are used internally. Since it’s utility work, we’re union and we have great benefits and flexibility. It’s really worked out for me
Seconded
Also vector pinball is very good
I tried the VR mod a year or two ago and it was pretty good except for the way that the character moves does not compute to the way normal people move, so it was making me suuuper sick. The strafing in particular was bad.
