I worked at a restaurant part-time for some extra "fun" money before COVID. Once we went to take-out only during the pandemic, everything turned toxic and I was not happy with how the management were handling everything. They told us "be happy because you're basically making $20 an hour with how well everyone is tipping" but the morale was absolutely abysmal.
I was letting these teenagers know that they were getting poor treatment and management came to me and basically said "they look up to you, you can't tell them those things. They are all going to be mad", so I quit. They were mad at me for telling these teenagers that they don't have to devote their life to this restaurant that began making record profits during one of the worst and uncertain times for many of these kids families.
Basically what I'm getting at is, if they do ask the workers, they don't want to hear how they actually feel.
Writing is definitely difficult! I couldn't do it. The voices were fine, I was just saying that it was pretty noticeable.
As for the legacy with new seasons/episodes and how I would write it.. well I don't think I would. It had a good run and I loved it. In my opinion, Futurama is just like King of the Hill, I'm not really sure it needs to come back because it already hit perfection many times.

Major's Mask made me hopeful that I would like TOTK. But it's too similar to BOTW in all the wrong ways. Just wasn't a fan of Botw for the most part. ๐
Persepolis Rising (book 7 of The Expanse) the introduction of the Laconia magnetar-class ships were always really cool in my imagination, haha. They just seemed so powerful and impossible to take on.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I'm maybe a quarter or a third of the way through it and I quite like it! It's been a slow-go mostly just because I'm not good at dedicating time to read. I recently got the audio book to make more progress while driving.
I already own the original, but back when I got it I was unable to play due to the poor control schemes since I am disabled. Now I own an Xbox Adaptive Controller that I used to play through Elden Ring pretty well. I'd love to go back and play some of the earlier games....
I respect everyone saying you should play the first game before the sequels. But my goodness, it's a clunky game. FromSoftware really got much better with the later games. If you're not feeling DS1, it will not be a huge deal to play others instead. You may miss out on some fan service or references though.
Honestly I didn't quite believe it. I had to look it up on wikipedia to realize 1998 was that long ago. I getting old. Really old. Not even a meme old. Like real actual old.
I honestly am a huge Nolan fan but could not agree more with his audio lately. I was really frustrated in the theater during Dunkirk trying to figure out what the heck Tom Hardy was saying. Tenet, at times, was also pretty bad. I still really liked both movies, but they would have been better experiences if I could have not dedicated so many resources to hear a word in a garbled mess of voice.
I'm changing my stance on the whole Meta/project92 thing after reading this article. I think the entire* fediverse should block project92 by default. Later, some instances can re-evaluate whether to maintain those blocks, once we have a better idea of what the benefits and consequences of federating will be:...
I think it all comes down to why does Meta do anything?Money. And, the timing of their supposed interest in the Fediverse is after the second notable exodus from a major social network. Meta sees more people & more engagement here which equates to more potential profits on their end.
I looked into Mastodon after the whole Twitter thing in November, but I didn't really use Twitter, so an alternative at the time didn't make sense for me. However, I was an avid Reddit user for the last nine years, so when these API changes came to light and my app (Sync) was going to cease to exist, well I took the Fediverse alternatives more seriously and realized that ActivityPub is awesome technology that is now invaluable to the internet.
I, like many gamers, grew up playing Pokรฉmon Red and Nintendo 64 and was obsessed with Nintendo products. I graduated to a PS2 and PS3 and became super into Metal Gear Solid and Call of Duty and Fallout. Also spent a ton of time with the Guitar Hero series. I loved the escape gaming brought me and it genuinely helped me relax....
This is a great point. Pursue other interests for the time being; don't necessarily stop gaming altogether though. I had a few gaming ruts in my life and around the same time I was in grad school.
Something a professor had said to the class about writing a thesis paper can apply to many things in life: "When you find yourself enjoying what you are doing, stop for the day while you are still enjoying it because you'll be excited to get back to it next time. If you stop working on something when you're forcing yourself to do it, you'll have a much harder time being motivated to continue."
It's not very profound, but I related it to the gaming rut I was in at the time but it helped me bounce back.
I'm on Android and I use Apple Music. It's very good and well worth it. This is coming from someone who still despises Apple, but my partner used Apple Music and we got a family plan.
Finally got it! You're a moderator. I expect it to be pretty limited compared to Reddit, but I'm excited to have some official Reddit people migrating over here!
