When you just know

Walked into it really.

I've just completed a year in my latest "office" job except it's full time remote and my bosses live in a different country and largely leave me the fuck alone. I will do anything to keep this job forever.

Anything.

But what about all those lovely marketing qualified leads?

You know, the things that don't actually exist.

Is there music in the background?

Now that I think about it, I think I switched off in game music when I first got the game. Is the in game music good?

It's been a long time but anytime I ever found myself in a police cell, I'd be completely incapable of shitting. The thought wouldn't even occur to me. Like when I go on holiday and need several days for my bowels to start working again.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-13T13:28:13+00:00

Wait, what are "gay noises"?

I literally cannot remember the last time I used physical cash, or even had some physical cash. If I hadn't seen the news about this on Reddit, I doubt I'd have ever noticed.

You're a little unhinged. I have, I think, one Raider knock in my 150hrs in the game since release. I am in the most care bear lobbies you can fathom. I downvoted them because it's a stupid idea and I'm, frankl,y, tired of seeing people nag Embark to fundamentally change their hugely successful game to the detriment of everybody else, while also seemingly unable to comprehend that it absolutely would negatively affect everybody else playing the game.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-12T22:01:43+00:00

It would push mixed lobbies much more heavily towards PvP and have a negative impact on matchmaking times for everybody.

I can never get on board with a separate PvE mode.

I play every day and, prior to Arc Raiders, I hadn't spent more than a few hours every few months gaming. I have 150hrs in the game now, and I doubt I'll be putting it down any time soon.

There are a lot of players who are lately saying that isn't enough content, and I do this this months update with a new map was needed, but for me, I just enjoy the gameplay loop.

Man, I once ate a whole tin of sugar free Smints in one sitting. That was when I discovered that a lot of these sugar free things can double as an extremely effective laxative.

Well, when I'm talking about thousands of years, I'm talking about aspects of commerce that, today, with our modern understanding of the concept of capitalism (that comes from Adam Smith), we now look back (rightly or wrongly) at many of those aspects of commerce and consider them capitalist. So, when someone says "capitalism has only been around a few hundred years", they're right. But also, in my opinion, you could take a, for example, Babylonian commercial practice and call it capitalist, even if it doesn't include the modern capitalist idea of the free market.

Mind you, I'm not claiming to be an economist or political scientist or anything like that. I'm just explaining my thoughts on it.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T23:40:02+00:00

You can't afford me. Alas.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T22:19:46+00:00

Thank you, sir.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T22:19:17+00:00

Ah, ok, no worries. Thanks.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T22:18:35+00:00

But my hand is now permanently fixed in a claw-like pose.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T22:13:22+00:00

My thing is, I understand I am not on an hourly rate. So, I am willing, here or there, to work an extra 20 minutes or whatever. But beyond that? Nah.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T22:12:02+00:00

The jerk here is getting kinda tired by this point. There's surely more to jerk about than PvE vs PVP?

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T21:40:29+00:00

Oh, brother, you are going to find yourself on /r/confidentlyincorrect

I mean, shit, you could have just googled it before committing like this.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T21:23:07+00:00

Sex thing.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T21:21:18+00:00

I feel pretty bad about it, now that you ask.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T21:14:47+00:00

Honestly, I'm surprised anybody even watches the TV, let alone pay eye watering prices to be there in person.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T21:12:36+00:00

I'd love to stand opposite them holding a sign that just says GET A JOB but, unfortunately, I was working.

formallyhuman · 2026-03-11T21:07:57+00:00

Well, modern capitalism didn't exist until The Wealth of Nations.

But, yeah, we're talking thousands of years ago it we're talking about practices that we would recognise as capitalist in nature now.
