Lol, been there. But my former CTO had one that I think takes the cake:
My (now former) CTO showed up to a C-suite/executive meeting shortly after he joined the company and they asked him to sort out the fucking A/V setup (read: projector, computer to put the slideshow on, clicker to advance the slides, hooking it all up, etc). In a hotel conference room that was "bring your own hardware". With no warning.
And these chucklefucks expect perfection. We must have burned over a million on the executive conference room at our HQ. "The camera that automatically zooms into who is speaking isn't fast enough at changing targets" type shit.
We're a company of over 4000 employees. Every single C-suite/executive meeting before then they would book one of the senior members of our in-person internal tech support team for support for that shit, so they should have known better.
It wasn't some joking hazing thing either. They legitimately just hadn't fucking planned for how they were going to present their slideshow at this off site location and expected the CTO to just magic it together. Why they needed to do it offsite when they had a fancy ass overly expensive room built for conferences at the HQ? No fucking clue.
The things that come out at tech division happy hours are wild once the higher ups get a few drinks in them.
I've had to be very direct with my family that I don't fix computers (anymore, I used to do remote and hands on helldesk), I fix the deeper kind of stuff that keeps email working for an entire company, or makes sure new hires can log in to work stuff.
So it's been about two and a half years since I've played (before my daughter was born), so take this with a grain of salt. I think last big update I experienced was the addition of the Reapers's equivalent of the Athena's Fortune faction.
Unless they've changed how captained ships work, every time you log in your ship only has a basic set of resources (like 30 wood, 30 canonballs, 15 bananas, something like that). Stocking up from the outpost barrels was an every session start thing. The whole captained ship thing was originally just a way to save your ship cosmetics and adding a bunch of ship specific achievements. Also gave access to a convenient one stop sell location and some "captain" exclusive quests.
Regarding PVP, natural "emergent" PVP has really dried up since they added in the hourglass (dedicated PVP match queuing) and the ability to server hop (lose all your sellable loot and active quest progress, keep the barrelled resources on your ship). So people up for scrapping usually hop servers until they find a popular and lucrative server event happening where there are likely to be other players. There already was the Reaper's flag and emmisary to imdicate you were up for/looking for PVP too (both make you visible on the map to the whole server). So a lot of players left running around aren't as bloodthirsty.
Also, unless they changed server limits again, each server has an absolute max of six ships. It's a big sea for so few ships. Especially when we stayed around The Roar (volcanoey area at the east side of the map) we could go entire sessions without running into other players.
Man, I really hope it's still around when I have the time to come back to it. Awesome game.
Hell, forget doing anything with the office. I don't want to go back unless you have an on site private spa, massuese, catered food, and laundry service. Make it legitimately better than being at home and I'll consider it.
Instead, the blue shirted girlfriend should be: "A valuable intangible workplace benefit that you can continue offering for free after you were forced to invest in it due to the pandemic"
People applying for my position will make job acceptance or denial choices off of whether or not they get to work from home. We're already split across three "back office" physical locations when we are in the office and we're more than capable of having a conference call going in the background throughout the day for chitchat and bouncing ideas around verbally if we really need to. We didn't just survive during total work from home, we thrived. And we already have all the technical infrastructure, policies, and procedures in place to offer full work from home.
It's like if they could offer health insurance to employees for free, but decided not to because upper management can't figure out how to do their jobs when people have it.
They crawl wikipedia too, and are adding significant extra load on their servers, even though Wikipedia has a regularly updated torrent to download all its content.
I think he must attract a certain amount of viewers from the "train wreck" effect. He literally was using the stench from the sun hitting a decomposing rat corpse in his room as an "alarm clock" for a while. He has had roaches crawl across him live and not reacted.
So I can kind of understand getting some sort of twisted satisfaction that you're doing better, or having the same sort of fascination people have with train wrecks and disasters.
What I don't get is why anyone cares about his takes on anything. The man willingly lives in decomposing filth. He's clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.
Most of these trimmed down portable Wiis boot into a homebrew menu as they don't have the IR lights attached by default (the Wii "sensor" bar which is just two IR lightbulbs), needed to navigate the menu using a Wiimote.
It's a novelty. Hardware hackers have been making smaller and more portable Wiis for years, finding more parts of the motherboard they can cut off, ways to rearrange mobo parts and reconnect them without impacting functionality, discrete parts they can replace with more modern smaller equivalents, etc.
This represents the smallest they've been able to cut down Wii hardware, still have it be functional, and still have the core be the original hardware, not a general use CPU with an emulation solution running over top. It's not a commercial product meant to compete with emulators on existing portable devices like phones and SBCs.
I kind of love that Kanye had that breakdown where he released the Heil Hitler track and went to twitter posting all caps shit saying he was a nazi, and the internet's collective reaction seems to have just kind of rolled their eyes and move on. Just pure apathy. It's not shocking or contreversial, more "Yeah, we all figured that out ages ago. Fuck off."
In most public places in the US it is technically illegal to be publicly intoxicated. It's incredibly rare that anyone would do anything about it unless you're being a public nuisance or something though.
Excuse me? I didn't say fucking anything about keeping this from being political. I suggested some extra patience and room for nuance when judging the voting populace on the actions of their elected officials.
Beyond that, did my phrasing about getting your scope zeroed fly over your fucking head? Only clipped your ear maybe?
To make it crystal fucking clear:
I told you that your take is absolutely fucking ghoulish to direct at the victims and I stand by that. Go after the fucking politicians with all you fucking have, not the people who have lost their kids.
That's it. None of this fucking essay you've imagined into my motiviations. I'm done, so feel free to crazy up some more shit I never said. Have fun with it. Go nuts.
So even this instance of personal responsibility is significantly offset by the actions of a few. I'm all for doing what each of us can, but that's fucking hilarious.
I'm sure there's a combination out there that would get what I'm looking for. I just haven't found it yet, and a lot of the scene (especially what gets coverage by youtubers) seem to be focused on increasing difficulty by making individual zombies more threatening (night sprinters, randomizers, adding different "zany" zombie types) or adding environmental hazards (nuclear fallout, airborne virus, eternal winter).
You can adjust settings, and I do, but once you clear an area if you stay near the area the options are either "randomly spawn in zombies where you've cleared" (ignoring whether a zombie could actually path there or not, last I tested it) or "no more zombies". There's no built in way I know of to simulate a glob coming in from the edges of your safe zone if the edges are farther out than the limit of cells it simulates around you.
I could probably get something together with the horde night mod. Just haven't had time to tinker lately.
Respectfully: As I've already stated, none of this exists in a vacuum. You don't get to just declare shit irelevant. Regardless of your mental gymnastics, you are peacocking/gloating about having the right beliefs/voting policy in the aftermath of these children being dead.
Disrespectfully: Your belief that you can somehow claim any sort of moral highground here is absolutely ghoulish. I sincerely hope you never are denied compassion or help in your time of need by someone professing beliefs like yours.
Or maybe they're just upset that you're using the deaths of children to be smug.
There's a lot more going on in politics than "insert vote, recieve outcome voted for". Gerrymandering, simply being stuck in an area where you are the political minority, politicians campaigning on an entriely different platform than the actions they take later while in office... I could go on, but I expect my words would be wasted.
The dead girls weren't even old enough to vote.
In b4 you start running your mouth off about how it's okay to wish death on the bad people because of what they're doing to you/the good people. Two wrongs don't make a right, and even if it did, you're aimed at the wrong targets. Get your scope zeroed in properly.

They legitimately just hadn't fucking planned for how they were going to present their slideshow at this off site location and expected the CTO to just magic it together.
