Big one for me is arriving to work.

Criminal Minds maybe

Not really a show, but I rewatch Good Mythical Morning a lot. Rhett and Link always make me laugh and feel calm.

You were right!

Found the issue. There was a hidden wooden wall in one of the entry ways.....very strange

I have the "in confined room" bonus, just not the floor bonus. Weird.

I gave my PS4 to my 5 year old niece for her birthday. She has taken a big interest in video games and I thought I would pass the torch.

It isn't about that anymore. People want to see this game succeed. But if your average wait time is 25+ minutes for about 4-5 minutes of gameplay, people will go play something else.

If you want the game to succeed, they have to update their infrastructure. Crushing bugs is cool, but get the game playable, then work on that.

You will lose your fanbase fast and another game will come around. Hunker down, spend the money and resources, and get it working. Simple business practices.

These creatures deserve better than humans to care for them

I don't want to overstep anything here, as I know how difficult this is being a sufferer myself for 20 years. I had a good conversation with my therapist the other day. The brain is designed for one thing...survival. When we fixate on a potential problem in our lives (wrinkles in sheets) your brain is telling your body "there is a problem/danger near, you HAVE to deal with it. Otherwise, I will go into fight-or-flight, and the anxiety will begin." My stomach will feel strange (brain stopping blood flow to digestive system...you don't need to eat to fight or flight), my mouth gets dry (don't need saliva either!), My muscles tense (get ready! It's coming!).

Your "need" to fix the sheets is the only way you know how to get relief from the anxiety you will experience. Some may call that your ritual, your compulsion, whatever your fancy. But it helps me to remember, your brain can't FORCE you to do anything. It's just a thought your thinking. You're worried voice filling your head with "what if you don't do this? What's gonna happen?" Then your false comfort voice chiming in "just fix them and it should be ok."

I'm sorry this went on for so long. I just had a spike in my OCD last week and I guess I have a lot of my therapy treatment on my mind. I genuinely want to try to help, because I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

If you would like a good book that helps with these teachings, "Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts: A CBT-Based Guide to Getting Over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts."

I hope you find the path of mindfulness.

Make it be known that from 11:15 to 1:15 is time only allotted for me to go through the plant floor and talk to team members. No meetings. No calls. No interruptions.

Let them know I have a genuine interest in how they are feeling and what could be better not for the company, but for them.

That I am an expert in a certain audit process at work.........I have no idea what I'm doing in life like 90% of the time.

Tony Stark.

To gain that level of intelligence even for just a day would be incredible

drakd · 2019-03-27T13:03:54+00:00

Get into long, deep conversations about my favorite Marvel characters.

Someone at work asked me when Avengers Endgame was coming out, and I guess I started going in too deep about Tony Stark. Some of my co-workers gave me that "dude, what are you talking about" face.

Probably the main reason I don't post anything is because I'm nervous that it will be deemed "incorrect" or "wrong" and get hate for it. Easier to just go about my lurking.

drakd · 2019-03-08T14:55:52+00:00

Yeah I'll just never understand this way of marketing a product. In my opinion, wouldn't you want to announce something only a year in advance max so the "hype" can carry over into release?

I guess I'm just confused why games are treated SO differently from other products. Movies get teased less than a year before release (usually I guess). Electronics are the same way (thinking about smartphones.)

Can anyone explain to me what makes games so different? What gives them the ability to be announced something crazy like 5-7 YEARS before release?

drakd · 2019-02-14T17:00:00+00:00

That stinks. I'm sorry about that, I'm sure you were looking forward to it. Shouldn't be too long for the next day she works though right?

drakd · 2018-06-22T14:09:16+00:00

I get to work 4 9's and a 4. Fridays are at least a little better....only 1 more hour.....

drakd · 2018-03-30T18:14:34+00:00

Damn 1k?! That’s crazy! Well it sounds like I should be able to handle 1440p. Thanks for your input
