  • When I find myself remembering one awkward thing, I know chances are good I’ll remember the others…

    So a trick I’ve found is that when I remember one thing I purposefully recall the others, since it’s not a ‘surprise’ it won’t be so bad. As I remember them, I misremember them intentionally so that they’re less embarrassing. This works for some insane reason.

    Don’t know if it’ll work for everyone, but give it ago next time your blooper reel kicks off!











  • I have our bobtail trained to attack on a very specific whistle command.

    Whenever I do the whistle she comes a running doing her little chirps looking for shit to kill. I point and she attacks. She’s pretty terrible at it.

    She and her sister from another mister will also corner stink bugs and keep them locked down until my wife or I notice and I dispose of it.





  • hoho

    I had just figured out how to fix a bug that broke our in house reminder system. My smug ass put hoho as the commit message for figuring something out that the previous guy couldn’t. Of course it came back to bite me in the ass THIS WEEK when the system broke again in a similar fashion, but I couldn’t remember what I had done.




  • Felt the same way about it. The plot device of the character potentially becoming Keanu really broke all motivation for me. Why would I complete the main plot if each mission made the infestation worse? I made this character, why would I be interested in watching them become someone else's Gary Stue? I wanted to be my Gary, not theirs.

    The story would have been much improved by dropping Johnny Mnemonic Silverhands and instead having the partner, whose name escapes me because I only got to know him through 2 missions and a 30 second montage of us getting to know each other, as the ride along personality. Instead of him taking you over, he's fading away and you have to save him.

    Throw in a heroic sacrifice from your semi AI partner at the end or a plot twist him into a villain Tyler Durdening your ass while you sleep and it could have been something magical.
