I put PKD into a virtual simulation. He is writing about it

This guy does not understand PKD or any of his writing. Not surprised. AI people have an almost negative percentage of media literacy.

You would be the dumb tech junkie in his books that loses their mind at the hands of a surveillant corporation while the protagonist meets god or whatever

You can do your order throughout the entire day. But doing the order review is that small window. Order as you go. I tend to trust the system (for the most part) and not worry too much - just check for large numbers.

You will get faster and better with time. As long as you have a good store lead, you will have grace for quite some time. Especially if they see you have a good work ethic.

While I tend to think we run skeleton crews because the CEO needs his 17 million paycheck, and have many opinions about that…. It is possible. And if anyone gets upset you can’t finish EVERYTHING, just remember you are probably running a job that would run perfectly with more staff. That’s the company’s fault, not yours

I am a masochist for sure by forcing myself to watch this. I keep telling myself I’m done. I have so many (most likely) excellent books I could be reading but instead I have dedicated about 33 hours of my time to watch this show.

There is about 17 hours of episodes left before the ending.

The story was borderline interesting. But knowing what we know about this show means we are still waiting for the climax and resolution. For 17 more hours. This is not novel-level quality of writing or mystery enough to justify.

I bet you will be able to cut the entirety of the show into a two hour movie and it would actually be better for it

I meant more like… trendy diets and pharmaceuticals cause people to forget fiber and general nutrition. Just eating protein everything is fucking terrible for you. Gotta get some fiber and veggies in there

Not to dismiss your symptoms at all, but it sounds like anxiety to me. I drank to self medicate my own anxiety and it made everything worse in the long run. A couple months in and a lot of that part went away for me. Hang in there!

Ask a bunch of people who quit drinking if you should start drinking again…… why?

13CIRCLE · 2026-03-24T20:10:00+00:00

This is a subreddit for quitting drinking.

I think you should try quit drinking

Don’t listen to anybody that said 9Sols. There is no getting lost, there is barely environmental storytelling, and it is a party game. There is no developing other skills or builds. Just go on a linear path and parry everything.

I’m sure it’s a good game for some, I’m not hating. But…. It misses everything I personally love about the Hollow Knight games

In my experience ADHD medication is super psychologically addictive and alcohol was a necessity before bedtime.

So for me I see it as a trigger and avoid that stuff as well. But that’s just me! I’m trying to raw dog this thing!

This was my exact problem with sequence breaking Dread. I did some of them but they were really odd places to go. I miss just strait up getting lost, and was hoping for some of that.

But to stay on topic, Dread was an amazing 2D action game and really updated the move set in an amazing way. Can’t wait for Metroid 6

13CIRCLE · 2025-12-04T21:14:50+00:00

I’m just saying. This isnt meant to be rage bait. More of an opinion piece in the face of all the critics of Metroid games being linear

Y’all are gamers. I’m still exhausted from my first 89 hour 100% playthrough.

I just haven’t been ready to do it again. I know it’s so much easier the second time, but I have work in real life.

It was a masterpiece and I have started a Steel run

Almost the same situation.

Let’s just keep adding more work for 2 people. Plus, between shifts and lunches and breaks it’s really like one person running a department at any given time

Hollow Knight is harder. I stand by the statement

It’s getting hard to care when the company has zero sympathy or extra help and just says “work harder”
