I work in a CS job and I'm noticing companies don't really hire permanent staff they prefer to get boatloads of temporary resource from agencies and consultancies. My team is 4 people big and the 4th person took us like 3 years of begging to get approval for hiring. Yet we onboard entire armies of contractors and throw them out 6 months later year on year.

Maybe the consultancies are hiring. But its a miserable job to have. If you end up in a consultancy/agency we may end up passing by eventually haha

They take a long time to make and are manufactured and sold in very small quantities. Tabletop sim and discord is usually the way https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2652586902

I think this is the real answer. Crypto was a pure grift. AI allows companies to steal other people's labour in the form of gen ai in order to fire even more people and its already in full swing and claiming jobs.

I really liked dear esther when it came out. Oil rig game is very enjoyable so far

We so like having a permanent pathogen! I got shingles when I was 14 although my experience fortunately wasn't that bad

I have a theory that this stance on immune systems and disease is just thinly veiled eugenics. The discourse has been around for a while but covid makes it more noticeable quite a lot of people hold the stance that having a "strong" immune system is a moral good and having a "weak" immune system is a moral failure. That disease should intentionally be spread purely for the purpose of killing those deemed weak.

In my head I want to eradicate disease, because ain't nobody needing that shit but in their heads they want to eradicate people with weakened immune systems by promoting disease to spread. And it feels like this is actually has been the mainstream way of thinking for a while.

Anyway thats my ramble

Oh another thing did anyone have parents who would intentionally spread chickenpox? Like you could eradicate the disease by idk not intentionally spreading it but it seems to be the norm that the disease is inevitable.

For those bad at lying the best alternative is to provide as little information as possible. "I'm not coming in to work today I'm unwell" or variations of.

Infact its a good method even for those good at lying. The less information given the less it can be opposed or challenged

Store bought hummus and toasted pitta all day every day until i die, aint nuffin easier. Just needs a toaster and fingers

Being contrarian is universally annoying so I'd suggest just never do it unless its an obvious joke thing. For mansplaining I did this a lot and I have a hard rule that I don't give advice or explain anything unless directly asked. Took a lot of getting used to but its pretty easy now.

Sometimes i find typing out my comment then deleting it is enough to satisfy my brain. If i end up posting something stupid i go back and delete when I've cooled off and hope no one saw it lolol

Wow that was bad. 2d it runs fine on ultra preset but in VR it chugs. Managed to run smoothly on medium preset but then the game looks cursed and lower fidelity than dirt rally 1.

Even on ultra the graphics just look weird. Granted it was rainy but it just looks wonky.

Might see if i can tweak it but first impressions aren't great.

Edit: So i tried all three games just to compare, WRC is by far the worst presentation, it looks like the TAA doesnt actually render with depth so adds this weird shimmer in front of everything, game is blurry as hell. Dirt rally 1 and 2 look great in comparison idk wtf they did but it aint good. Played all settings on high, DLSS set to quality (doesnt look that different to off), foveated rendering set to 1. Just looks really bad

Apparently it got added in April, has a separate launch option for VR. Will try it out

Bought WRC yesterday but haven't downloaded it yet. Whats the prognosis doc will it run on a 3080?

The worst thing a biker has ever done to me is be loud. Car drivers constantly try to remove me from the planet for the grand crime of crossing a road. Car drivers need to be crushed inside their car

These freaks would cry about Meryl from mgs4 if they actually ever played the games

Needs a VR headset. For me its pretty much mandatory, in 2d even with hundreds of hours racing i still crash into walls and misjudge corners and with VR that problem just disappears and I suddenly just start cornering perfectly.

Currently playing lots of GT7 and Dirt Rally. Dirt Rally is my comfort game, when I play I enter a trance and forget the universe exists. Can't wait for the racenet servers to be shut off rendering it unplayable!!!!
