I think ARC Raiders is peak.

People were already getting over extraction shooters, but AR sort of came out of no where just in time and pulled it off well.

I don't see that happening again with this genre. Even AR is in a slow and steady decline after the initial hype.

When it happens, it won't be a specific event. It'll be the collapse of infrastructures built on foundations that are simply not up to standard but were allowed to happen anyway. Whether that be economical, public medical, one of the many sciences, or all at once.

People will die and it'll be tracked back to haphazard slop five years earlier.

Edit: No, not haphazard slop. Just some idiot that thought it was all magic at the time.

It won't change the fact that no one wants to use your product, Tim.

I think that's specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head...

Invertebrates? No. All out

Fish? No. Also a Hammerhead would've really sold this comic lol.

Birds? No. Though, even on the side they do often have a tilt toward frontal in a lot of predatory birds. It could be argued...

Reptiles? No.

Amphibians? No. There's no even trying to place rules on that optical chaos.

Mammals? Yeah, pretty much. Can't think of an outlier but I'm sure there's plenty of obvious ones.

Edit' Ah, there we go. Of course marine mammals are an exception. But back in land, as too are llamas. Makes you wonder...what are the llamas plotting?

I was at a trivia night and a question was, "Apart from humans, what's the two highest populated species in the animal kingdom?"

Now, I'm not the smartest brain inhabiting a future corpse, but I did do basics in school.

I say to my group, "Maybe plankton? But I don't know if there's some technicality over that being a plant or something. If I were to guess, probably ants and then flies." We agreed and went with that.

NOPE!!!

Cats and dogs apparently!!!

This didn't even make sense to us if considering just the mammals.

I protested.

The quiz master said "The question is about the animal kingdom."

"Well, if insects aren't animals, what are they?"

He dug in his heels, we weren't getting the points. And to make things even more bizarre, most other teams said cats and/or dogs to get 1 or 2 points.

We found a new trivia night.

Since the update, hitting the tick to mark messages as read in the inbox seems to misbehave. It's like it's marking the wrong messages. If I go in a different order, it works, but tapping the comment directs to the wrong posts, assuming of those that were in their slot before marking them off.

Does that make sense? It doesn't make sense. This might need to be a screen recording thing lol...

I'd encourage you to shut your eyes and listen to the musical talent and amazing lyrics—take them in depth. Then play it again and watch the excellent claymation film clip.

May as well have some Greek psychedelic rock from 1972 going solo ham on a religious narrative, right?

I want a girl who is unvaccinated
I want a girl who prays in tongues
At a MAGA rally we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she is spoken to
She wants to work on her fit, fit body
She wants to rock it with her modest clothes
She's changing her surname to whatever mine is
She's trading her career to raise our nine kids

I want a girl with a short leash and who looooooves, loooooooooves Jesus!

I was thinking about it. I donate to quite a few charities, but they specifically mean something to me. Others I don't really think about, though they're good. I guess we all have a threshold or we'd be broke and for many that could be no donations at all or just a fiver the the street guy.

My friend used to climb massive pine trees late at night in a park across his street, and place traffic cones on top. No one knew who was doing it or why. Many people thought it was the local council marking the trees to be cut down which upset residents. He started noticing police regularly patrolling the area, but he kept doing it and never got caught. It made the local paper, explaining how much confusion and disruption it was causing the police and local council. He hung the article on his wall.

Just in case you're like me and forget to pay attention for a moment and three more albums slide on by without realising. It's also excellent, as usual. Probably a top 3 of their disco for my personal taste.

It's from 2019. And, yes, it totally backfired. Even the Bern got on it https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1126606568454279169?s=20

While he's there under oath, can they get some HL3 info out of him?

American Christianity. It's like Christianity but cutting out all the stuff that Christ guy talked about.

As a professional in this field, top reasons would be...

  • Dissatisfaction with pay
  • Limited/No career progression
  • Dissatisfaction with environment/culture
  • Dissatisfaction with management
  • Poor work-life balance
  • Poor job design/expectations of role
  • Poor taining quality/knowledge management
  • Inadequate tools/systems

Edit: I should also point out we have about half a dozen ping-pong tables scattered around my work and our turnover figures were bang on average for annual benchmarking against the sector. I consider the average too high, though, and will be targeting better retention over this year. We'll need at least double the amount of ping-pong tables.
