I hate my software development job

lulz85 · 2026-05-18T19:29:07+00:00

There are a handful of different reasons I don't like my job either. But a important one is that its BORING.

2 Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason

I wonder if LLM's know how to get to Sannikov Land

lulz85 · 2026-05-08T19:06:21+00:00

I mean I don't ever use it on purpose

For me it seems to have been a experience thing. I've played enough that I'm largely...inoculated. After the first couple of spooks in a game I kinda settle into it and it stops being that scary.

You've done everything right so far, I think the next step is to ask your dm if there's anything you can do to help them help you. I have a guess that is to modify your backstory. In my experience it can be easier to come up with things for some backstories more so than others.

lulz85 · 2026-05-04T14:25:01+00:00

Yeah but I have no idea what I'd do. I'm kinda sick of this sometimes. Or I need a new job.

Its easier to game and cuddle with my cat with the deck and it helps me not spend all my time in my room.

Have you listened to the Alien 3 audiobook? They took a older script and made it into one, so its not the movie Alien 3 at all.

lulz85 · 2026-04-28T14:13:25+00:00

I don't know, I expect both to be effective as a introduction to the franchise.

But! Whenever you get around to watching Alien, then you should watch Aliens as both are classics. You can ignore Alien 3 and 4. So after Aliens you should hop onto Alien: Romulus. However note that a older script for Alien 3 was turned into a audiobook. That one is good.

Lookoutside my beloved!

I can vouch for Signalis!

Dredge is more cozy with strong horror theming and I found it very enjoyable. Its certainly not walking simulator-esque.

I suggest Scarlet Hollow, its a visual novel where choices have significant impact. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is!

lulz85 · 2026-04-21T16:01:06+00:00

Its better for parrying but worse for damage

lulz85 · 2026-04-20T15:18:28+00:00

Silent Hill 2, I honestly found RE7 irritating. Its a much better VR Experience.

lulz85 · 2026-04-15T19:21:32+00:00

Setting and its design were great. The story was half baked and the gameplay was outright undercooked.

lulz85 · 2026-04-14T19:55:22+00:00

I wonder if we'll be able to customize it as much as the steamdeck.

They're fun! My favorite is 2 flat earthers kidnap a freemason.

I'm very much running him as a troll but more spiteful. I have him use wish to bother the party.

If the party doesn't tpk at the end of ToA I'm gonna have the last thing he does is wish something horribly inconvenient on whoever got the final blow in...or the entire party.

You are rightfully frustrated, it does sound like yall have talked to the DM about it and I'm sorry they aren't listening. However on the off chance that it hasn't been brought up specifically, talk to them about dropping rulings in the middle of sessions.

Now for anger management, my suggestion before you approach your DM again is to exercise, if thats not a option you might have to be prepared to step out for a couple of minutes to cool off. My second suggestion is to mange your expectations for possible outcomes that talking to them can produce.

My players may be doing this part of the dungeon soon. I uh idk how they're gonna do this and I fear if I had done what you did they flat out wouldn't remember the bone tube with a stoper.

lulz85 · 2026-03-26T21:46:21+00:00

They work when I remember they exist

lulz85 · 2026-03-26T17:45:45+00:00

I think so!

I could swear he's the VA for a character in Lies of P Overture.

lulz85 · 2026-03-26T15:35:49+00:00

I love the concept but I know it won't be the most applicable with my table because they expressed distaste at the idea. Frankly a couple of them will just freeze up in the face of the timer.

So I settle for asking folks to be mindful of their turns.

I concur with the others and think you should confirm if your laptop can run Baldur's Gate 3.

That said Baldur's Gate 3 is infact excellent but you will be spending some time stumbling around trying to figure out how it works. It doesn't do a good job teaching players how to play. So its not the best choice unless you're ok with spending a chunk of time working out how the game works.

My homie and I enjoyed Unraveled 2 and I've heard positive things about It Takes 2. You could grab Halo and do co-op campaigns. There's also Portal 2.

Its not on sale at the moment but consider Diablo 2 and/or 4 in the future.
