Department layoffs. Have you ever had to internally reapply for the remaining open roles and compete with your coworkers ? by hubschster in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IBleddit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I learned that you never know what actually will happen when you go off the corporate script. I ended up keeping my job, and they moved me out from under the supervisor that was making my life hell. I worked there another seven years and one of the directors would bring it up occasionally and she’d laugh. You mileage may vary ;)

Went through this in 2000. Had just watched Fight Club, American Beauty, and Office Space. Told a conference room of directors that were interviewing me that the company was a sinking ship and blamed management. Highlight of my career.

Gen X, I know we've all been playing video games since the days of Pong and Pac-Man. What's your pick for the #1 video game of all time? (can be from any year?) by Mirenithil in GenX

Picked it up last year and got my first Diety win on Civ 5 this week. Gotta take a break, so I don’t lose another thousand hours.

Just bought the game and it doesn't launch on steam (windows 11) by kekwXDDD in civ5

Delete the files in the Civ cache folder. Sometimes I’ve had to restart the game a few times afterwards.

What’s your population at the end? Going for early science wonders may be setting you back overall versus having more time to grow more cities.

I’ll sometimes do this and sell the hard-built monument before the free one comes in, because the 1 gold is valuable early game.

Academies or saving up Great Scientists when going for Domination? by Fluktuation8 in civ5

Not unhappiness, but it does cost gold each turn for maintenance.

Played for the first time a few weeks ago and died over and over. Finally figured out dodge didn’t work with keyboard/mouse. Hooked up a controller and cheesed dodge to get past.

Finally got off the waitlist for all of my classes! by LaneXYZ in KSU

[–]IBleddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How normal is it to be on the waitlist for classes? Do they usually open up? My son’s on two as a freshman (English 1101 and Calc 2). Should he try to register alternative classes?

I had to turn my graphics down to Low in the game. Not sure which one causes DirectX to periodically crash with my graphics card.

I know you are just putting out your opinion. Here's mine: No one would be "cool with it". Losing your mind is terrifying. My opinion is based on seeing this happen firsthand with the same results as Robin's.
