Oh man this just awakened the memory of the “Big Dawg” stores. Actual stores that were ONLY big dawg merch shirts, hats, and pants.

First comment to get a cringe out of me as I thought of the spiky pedals. Congrats

Good. Let’s go, round two baby, ride this wave all the way to the bottom

Is it rotating weekly? If this is so common then what is the benefit of this? Like surely just keeping your employees constantly confused/off balance during their shift isn’t good

I had a job that rotated, but it was quarterly, and it was so nobody got “stuck” on nights/days.

“No it was about states rights”

“States rights to what?”

In universe I want to guess they added pressure to the back side of the system to balance out the water vs air pressure since it’s part of the training system. That said, it was probably just movie magic bs.

I mean to an extent, it is a self fulfilling prophecy. Whether or not it’s the case, it’s often felt my men that they have to be the breadwinner, or at least the point of strength. They can have people around them that tell them otherwise, but if they don’t feel like they measure up then that’s what it will be.

People don’t often just commit suicide because they’re like “I guess this is how the math works out”, they felt, or were told, or told themselves, that things can only be better if they’re gone. In every case, they won’t be, but that’s where their mental journey led them

Not to belittle it on either side but I do wonder what causes that disparity. Is it that men plan it more thoroughly or have access to more dangerous methods? Do women choose methods that, unintentional or not, can be backed out of more easily? Are women more likely to report a failed attempt than men? If that 2-3x factor is true, then why don’t we see similar numbers of idk completion? I hesitate to say success because it is very much not a success to commit suicide, there are always other options, even if they’re not perfect.

It sucks because there’s a lot about the ending (I’ll be as spoiler free as possible) but the ending basically being “And then nothing happened” is kind of the point. It’s meant to be bittersweet, because the story is about escapism but that ultimately you have to come back to reality eventually. The ending does the big lead up of oh man there’s a big fantasy and heres the happy ever after. but throughout the whole game it repeats over and over that things aren’t as magic and wild as you want it to be, that sometimes there’s a simple, boring, and sometimes sad explanation, and at the end of the day reality is the only thing that stays.

Firewatch is definitely more of a “reflecting philosophy” game than a straight up “gamer story” game.

A smaller switch would be a terrible idea. They’re already pushing so hard to have mainstream games on the console, and those games have UI elements that can only get so small before they’re useless. You’d have to develop your UI around being used on these tiny screens, which either takes extra work or leaves big screen users screwed.

A smaller screen switch would basically be relegated to phone games, and all other games would lose a lot of detail to size

Literally the reason I started regularly using Firefox

I prefer “affective managers” as in “that managers attitude has affected employees desire to work here”

In my experience it depends on the bar. I have a local that I like that is very laid back and relaxed bar scene, you still get some rowdy groups, but it’s not like fighting for the bartenders attention or blasting music. Perfectly easy to go in alone or with friends, sit down and shoot the shit for a few hours. Doesn’t really matter what’s in your glass.

Oh man I just had a thought. If they require an ID for auth, someone at the news agency has to validate their ID. If that person gets fired, and decides to use their ID to validate ownership and change the password on the account, malicious activity ensues.
