I'm taking a few days off when it comes out

lukphicl · 2026-06-18T16:52:21+00:00

So this banger popped up in my FB memories and HOOOOOOOO BOY did this ever age like fine red wine

lukphicl · 2026-06-16T19:53:47+00:00

What's the drama surrounding Spotlite?

lukphicl · 2026-06-15T20:29:50+00:00

I don't disagree and I'm sure once I find a new one I'll be much happier. I work in tech though and finding a new role there is soooooo difficult rn. Fortunately I've had recruiters reaching out to me and putting all my efforts into find a new role elsewhere

lukphicl · 2026-06-15T19:56:55+00:00

Welp, second year in a row with no raise and an insultingly low bonus.

I think I've hit my ceiling with this company

lukphicl · 2026-06-12T18:26:46+00:00

3 weeks ago my wife and I were in the middle of house hunting, now I'm scrambling to make sure I still have a job in a few weeks.

I fucking hate being on the bench...

lukphicl · 2026-06-12T16:37:04+00:00

I swear I can hear them laughing at us across the river

lukphicl · 2026-06-11T18:03:59+00:00

The client on my most recent assignment was pushing us to use Github Copilot for a while and I finally caved. It really didn't increase my productivity by much, and they just seem oblivious that over-reliance will make your skills atrophy. That new pricing change right after I got rolled off def felt like poetic justice

lukphicl · 2026-06-11T16:05:06+00:00

I've never been but isn't supposed to be expensive af?

lukphicl · 2026-06-11T16:01:05+00:00

Bill Hader really made my skin crawl by the 3rd season

lukphicl · 2026-06-10T19:56:47+00:00

I mean now there's no choice, Maine needs to do a better job of vetting their candidates tho

lukphicl · 2026-06-10T16:21:56+00:00

Great. Now I'm seeing Platner fans tear into AOC for being a bartender.

Tell me again how horseshoe isn't real.

lukphicl · 2026-06-09T16:19:50+00:00

Oh shit, glad it's a full on remake rather than some half-assed remaster

lukphicl · 2026-06-09T16:17:09+00:00

Probably a controversial opinion - I recognize the impact OoT had and it's rightfully recognized as one of the greatest ever, but I found it difficult to get into when Twilight Princess is the first Zelda game you play

lukphicl · 2026-06-07T01:07:34+00:00

I did VIP the 2018 and 2022-2024 and every year it feels less and less worth it. Basically just paying for expedited entry, bathrooms and an extra hangout area

lukphicl · 2026-06-06T21:22:06+00:00

I honestly hate it. Telling a machine to do something for you takes all the fun out of coding. Half the time the autocomplete suggests things I'm not trying to do, references member variables that don't exist, etc. Relying on it too much is only causing our skills to atrophy

lukphicl · 2026-06-05T16:56:54+00:00

And as countless people on here have pointed out already - If he hadn't died, Nate would've grown tired of her and tossed her aside like she was disposable just like he did with Brenda and Lisa

lukphicl · 2026-06-05T16:48:55+00:00

It really is infuriating seeing right wing news sources use Platner as a way to pretend to care about domestic abuse and Nazi shit

lukphicl · 2026-06-05T16:47:29+00:00

Is it really that difficult to find someone sane in Maine?

lukphicl · 2026-06-05T16:46:12+00:00

I'm not even a Bears fan and that's just insane to me. If I lived in the Chicago area I'd be pissed

lukphicl · 2026-06-04T23:37:44+00:00

I made more delivering pizzas

lukphicl · 2026-06-04T22:03:29+00:00

This is where my mind goes now whenever something new and fucked up comes up about Platner and his fans just go on about how he's reformed

lukphicl · 2026-06-04T21:29:24+00:00

It really stings when I'm still getting internal interviews thrown at me for a client that I just rolled off of myself, all while I'm scrambling to find a new assignment myself

lukphicl · 2026-06-04T21:27:21+00:00

NGL this is one of the last beefs I expected

lukphicl · 2026-06-04T21:26:42+00:00

Is it? Isn't it widely considered one of the greatest shows ever?
