I'll take advice where I can, so keep at it. As for making my hobbies a job; I have actually and I hate it! I've done automotive repair for money and at this point, I'm turning down jobs to do it because working on cars is a passion project for me and to make it into what amounts to a "gig"...

A few days ago I had ChatGPT help me in writing a resume and I must say, it was the easiest time I've ever had writing a resume, which I haven't done in quite a few years. It was neat that it helped my tailor the resume to the job I was applying for. But the other thing that was really cool...

Interesting that one of the Boeing Whistleblowers says these things usually occur between 10 and 12 years after the plane begins operations, the plane having now been 11 years old at time of crash. Anyway, we'll likely find out eventually. Does not excite me that I'm flying at the end of the...

This game wasn't on my radar or at least, I didn't care about it and now I really don't. Have to wonder why they didn't do private servers like Valheim so this can't happen.

I emulate quite a lot, though usually on a handheld. However, everything I'm actually emulating could be easily done on a PC. In fact, I have my Steam Deck setup to emulate PS2, GameCube and Wii U. All that said, I don't really play them at all. If I'm playing old games, I'd usually rather play...

Steam Deck 2 will run Switch 2 games better than Switch 2. At any rate, Nintendo Mind Virus types can have their silly expensive consoles and games that won't work when they buy the next one. We're doing just fine in our niche, with our cheap Indie, Management and Simulator games.

People are ravenous for Nintendo products at any price. On one hand, I get the appeal of having a console that "just works", go to the store, buy a game, pop it in and you're playing. Certainly more streamlined than a Steam Deck or PC. Or even buy something on the digital store and you know it's...

About time manufacturers get with the times. I've been bottom venting my entire life; my wife doesn't appreciate it, but I'd rather bottom vent than spend my life in discomfort.

Honestly, the refund process is mildly obtuse enough that most people just don't bother. So many people come up against the slightest friction in life and the just give up. I have quite a few friends like this; they'd never refund something if they don't like it, because it takes that little...

Well, that's interesting to know. I actually don't mind that it's not terribly scary anymore; I love the gameplay of the RE series and the third person games don't bother me in the slightest. But I found the first person perspective really gets me tense, so I'm quite alright with things being...

News Tower looks pretty interesting. I'll have to give the demo a go when I have some time (who knows when that will be). I'm still at it with RE7, almost 4 hours into it now and am nearly done with the second area having just defeated the second boss. The game is still decently tense, but I...

I had a medical license for awhile due to my arthritis in my knees and I did buy some of the topical CBD cream and yeah, snake oil was exactly what it is. Oversharing probably, but I was a very heavy Stoner for about 8 years probably. I finally quit when my oldest was a year old and I realized...

I haven't, but it's very much worth it (to give up drinking, I mean). It's expensive, messes up your buddy, gets you poor sleep, generally just all downsides. I go through fits and spurts where I drink more and then not at all. I ended up having two beers last night, which was an alright...

I did not watch the show, but I was happy to bullshit all the answers (it was like being in school again!) to enter the drawing. Don't really need a new gaming machine, but why not?

This is why I pee constantly when I drink beer. I'm usually chasing with water, because I already drink a ton of water since I live in a dry climate, so it gets even worse. If I drink a whole bunch of beer, I'm just up all night peeing.
