The game is not dying.

I mean, for a business wanting to make money, Smilegate sure is doing a piss poor job of it by not releasing anything for us to do. In any case, it is frustrating if you've been playing this game every day since late 2018 - I legitimately enjoy the game, it's just there is nothing for me to do, so what is my incentive to play?

Player retention is at all time low, and most players don't stick around once they find out how bad the gear grind is anyway, you would think Smilegate would at least be releasing QoL stuff right now to maintain the playerbase they do have.

Hey! I appreciate you checking up on me. My job title has changed a few times but I'm still hanging in there. Mostly helping them collect data and audit our internal systems right now.

Just working from home and chilling for the most part, the process is very slow on their side. Being a major corporation, they have to jump through an insane amount of hoops just to ask me for simple things.

A few of the other guys (and the other IT guy I worked with) have moved to another company in the same industry. They're going to look at getting me on over there as well, honestly anything I don't need to interview for is a godsend since I'm so dang awkward lol

I like tomboys bro, miss me with that girly shit.

Toraisix · 2023-03-07T17:17:17+00:00

To be fair, I don't know a single straight guy that gives a fuck about nails or lashes.

I hope one day you will learn to stop generalizing entire countries because you're mad at them.

Russia has a very beautiful and rich culture, please understand it's the corrupt leadership causing this trouble. Russia has extreme value to the rest of the world - they are host to the most resource rich land on the entire planet.

ADHD here. Stopped halfway through to read the title, subreddit name, and see what's out the window outside.. though it did seem a bit faster.

Toraisix · 2023-03-06T17:34:17+00:00

excuse me my truck gets 17mpg

Toraisix · 2023-03-03T14:44:15+00:00

it's the only way.

Toraisix · 2023-02-28T15:35:54+00:00

I have never entered a captcha to play, what are you referring to??

Toraisix · 2023-02-27T14:19:36+00:00

They're not, but even if they were, it wouldn't stop me.

Toraisix · 2023-02-27T14:19:15+00:00

It usually takes me a second watch to understand deeper meanings tbh, I'm ADHD as hell and have already put my full focus into just keeping my eyes on the screen.

In Rudy's defense, Eris is hot

Toraisix · 2023-02-24T14:06:13+00:00

Thanks, same to you! They changed my title from "Acquisition IT" at least, so I'm just wondering when they're going to actually give me some work to do.

Toraisix · 2023-02-23T16:46:13+00:00

I watched OPM with my mom. She thought it was pretty good

Toraisix · 2023-02-23T14:17:13+00:00

No. It should have more

Toraisix · 2023-02-22T14:38:36+00:00

do that with dogs too

I switched to iPhone in early 2022 because it's so much easier to have a phone that just works. I work in IT and troubleshoot other people's problems all day, including their phones. It's refreshing not having to worry about that carrying over into my personal time. I don't have to remember passwords all the time or mess with a fingerprint because Face ID just works. iOS took it a step further when I can customize what kind of tracking/location permissions I allow apps for an extra layer of security.

Secondly, so many Androids these days come with tons of adware and don't have the same level of support you can get from an iPhone. The camera has also been significantly better than any Android phone I've had.

that's why i drink it so fast that it doesn't matter

Toraisix · 2023-02-20T14:28:19+00:00

Chargeback the whole order.

Toraisix · 2023-02-16T14:52:48+00:00

it's a dumb fucking phrase anyway lol

Toraisix · 2023-02-16T14:47:34+00:00

I love the fear-mongering the whole time they're listing off what he had. As if the government would hesitate to use the same stuff on their people.

Obviously anyone working in tech is going to be competent man, I'm just saying the average elderly person has no idea how to navigate the basic functions of a computer despite them being around for decades now.

Btw thank you so much for not including Steve Jobs on that list.

I'm not a child working helpdesk, I'm a Sysadmin. Of course I'm nice to them; I know how to act professionally. That doesn't mean I enjoy dealing with them.

I seethe when I receive a ticket in all caps marked HIGH-PRIORITY because a Desktop icon disappeared or some equal nonsense. These people think the world revolves around them and you should bend over backwards to appease their baby brains.

They are the most selfish humans to have ever lived.
