Some lady wanted me to betray Cyber Biggie Smalls, which I was not cool with. She asked me not to tell him she wanted to betray Cyber Biggie Smalls, which I also was not cool with so now I get a 40% cut for being honest.

Cyberpunk 2077.
Also, Jackie is cool and all, but I might murder him because of his man bun.
Apparently I am on a streak recently.
In the last few days I have finished:
DmC: Devil May Cry
Spec Ops: The Line
Watch_Dogs
And just now I have finished Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
Noticeably, other than Watch_Dogs, all of those games were rather short. Approximately 10 hours, 7 hours, and the final one took less than 6 hours.
Both the Spec Ops and Ghost Warrior were also very linear with little replay value... Well, in case of the former you could at least try going through various parts of the game using different sets of weapons, the later doesn't really allow even for that - and all the three four sniper rifles you use in the three acts handle quite similarly anyway.
Now I am installing Ghost Warrior 3, which is supposed to be an open world sniper experience, with strong inspiration taken from Far Cry. We'll see how it goes.
Ghost Warrior 1 (which I didn't finished because it was rather mediocre and the old graphics were tiresome) took almost 7 GB space on HD. The second one used the same amount of space. The third one is 56+ GB...
Ubisoft used the same voice actor from Kassandra in Assassin's Creed Odyssey as the girl Fenix in Immortals Fenix Rising.
It's especially weird because I unconsciously gave her the same hair style as Kassandra.
It's pretty cheesy and a good buy if it's on sale and you want Legend of Zelda on the Playstation.
I got it because it was the only playstation 5 game currently out that looked fun.

Physics Teacher: Which weighs more? A pound of down or a pound of pyrite?
Little Timmy: Yes!
Physics Teacher: You can't answer, "Yes!" It's an eider ore question!
2 hours of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 after me. The game is fun, though it runs in low setting a bit clunkishly. The price of new, high end games...
It definitely feels like it will be a nice scratch to my Far Cry itch.

Woo hoo! We found the edge of the world and Lara Croft Guy and I sailed off it!!!
Who cares about losing skill points when you can say you sailed off the edge of the world?

I'm sure that's some sort of achievement that unlocks a new hair style or something.

We're apparently expecting "record setting snowfall" on Tuesday.

Hey John.

Nope, it's after April 15th, the only thing I don't shovel after the middle of April (at least until the middle of October) is snow. He's on his own.

Well, my rule is if it's less than 4 inches (10.2cm) I just drive on it. Unfortunately, my driveway has a 7-foot-high (2.39m) incline on it and I already changed out my winter tires. Fortunately, I don't have anywhere I have to go tomorrow and I expect to be dealing with 2nd shot side effects anyway. So win-win.
How To Get A Call From HR:
I'm on a "feature call" where various project managers are describing their areas of the product.
Sometimes, you can talk waaaay too much for your own good.
So we're still working on removing the terms "victim" and "survivor" from our product. I don't know what the problem is, because it's standard terminology in the industry, but I guess someone thinks it promotes violence so we have to get rid of it.
Sure, you can think that. But you can't say it out loud at a VP-level meeting with 40-50 callers. Not bright...

Yeah, that's one where you just state the facts and keep the commentary to yourself.

As I deal with yet ANOTHER consumer-facing application that cannot accept hyphenated names, I've come to a very simple realization about my attitude:
If your application tells me that I've entered an illegal character, then the person at your company who coded that input field should be fired.
It's just that simple. We're not in the 1970s any more. String parsing has been "a thing" for 50+ years now. If you can't be bothered to write code to parse a string, your employer shouldn't be bothering to pay you.

I know I'm not alone or breaking some new revelation here...just one more anecdotal confirmation...side effects of the second dose are a Thing. Less than 5 hours since my shot and I'm definitely already feeling it. Started coming on about 4 hours after the shot.
That said, give me these side effects over COVID every day of the week.

I started to wonder what do you say during the interviews about quiting your recent job...
Being burtally honest that the management were unreasonably expecting impossible, doesn't sound like a good way to get job.
So maybe: "I found myself in a dead end job with no prospect for further development and advancement"?

I tell them it wasn't any one thing, but the final straw was HR telling three of my techs that they "were exposed to COVID, but you probably didn't get it, so just keep coming to the office." And then my manager deciding that sounded perfectly reasonable.
The general reaction has been "Are you f~+*ing serious?"
The best thing to answer is something like. I wanted to find a job that was more rewarding and gave me more room to grow. my last job left me feeling stagnant.
