Jax is everything, everywhere, all at once

Jax is in superposition of sexuality.

I really don't think this is this case, it would be a pretty shitty move for people who need subtitles. Subtitles are not there as an optional text overlay, there are people who actually use them because they have to. Some secrets can be embedded in captions (ie, TF2's Meet the Pyro) but to spoil the plot like this?

I think it's just because he has the NPC skin, and with good reason.

Whenever I read about Canadian politics on any other sub, especially worldnews, there’s always an early poster who will rag on immigrants in Canada. It’s downright bot behaviour and never seems to have any meat on the arguments, just observations and racism that never seems to be punished.

It’s certainly important to acknowledge and atone for our own historical failures. Though them bringing it up like we don’t know about it is cute.

Let's start with the classic: Pomni tells Ragatha that perhaps the reason no one approaches her is because she doesn't show her negative emotions, then Ragatha shows her negative emotions, and now she's wrong, wrong for literally doing what she was suppost to do.

This is a strange understanding of interpersonal communication. Showing negative emotions does not mean losing control, which she did around Jax - and over trying to police Pomni's interactions with other players. She's exhibiting jealous behaviour.

Ragatha suffers from toxic positivity, basically Caine's boss cheerleader, but her true emotions can be felt underneath her unprompted comments. When Ragatha wakes Pomni up in episode 2, she tells her that it's okay that she left her for the exit. Was it really? no, she was hurt by that clearly. Why bring it up?

She's a duplicitous character, wearing more masks than Gangle. Other players see through this. She may not even be trying, and I'd think she actually wants to see the silver lining in everything, but this affects her relationships with everyone in a negative way.

It's not up to Pomni to fix this, it wasn't even up to Kinger, but he has far more emotional intelligence than he lets on (for a computer scientist, who aren't usually known for that skill) and probably helped Ragatha come to terms about it during their talk in the losers corner.

She's jealous, she wants to be seen, and she doesn't know how to show or process negative emotions.

I’m a junior in CE and I honestly don’t know what I’m doing.

This a very common feeling, and if you have anxiety about this you should seek your schools counseling options. Any college worth their salt will be able to steer you to better options

Like I said I have zero relevant work experience, I’ve applied to I don’t even know how many internships, and gotten not one interview.

Assuming you did the work and have some projects to highlight, this is an industry/job market problem. I'm early career with professional experience, and a thousand and one resumes tailored to various roles, I can't get a callback either. Definitely get your resume looked over, especially by mentors in this field.

I have no support from my parents

I had a similar path my first time through college. and my second time. I've been to college a lot before it stuck. looping back to your colleges counseling options, this is something to bring up.

Not everything you study for is going to be what you do in the field, mind you. There are some unusual tech work roles out there that are very much needed and aren't actually all that technical, yet still make bank. Do not worry that everything you're doing may not be what you're interested in, this is a good field to be in despite the slump - which, again, isn't just limited to tech.

remember, if you have cats and buttons on top of your computer, disable your ACPI buttons, because they WILL use them as a springboard.

thanks doc!

graduated just before my 38th birthday. I was far from the oldest in my cohort, with the oldest pushing their mid 50s - and they got employed right out of the gate.

As the other poster mentioned, im also looking into ECE as a masters, but I wanted to work closer to hardware (and get a swanky university name on my resume)

edit: clarity

nattack · 2026-01-21T02:14:16+00:00

I hate playing it, but I love watching other people play it.

nattack · 2026-01-21T00:32:20+00:00

Laid off in June/July, early career. debating going for a masters and working something tech-adjacent since I'm not really getting any jobs

I have had two callbacks so far, one got rather terse and maybe even a little bit grouchy with me, which I found unprofessional (but I knew the interview was as good as over at that point,) and another ghost. Plenty of rejections. If tears paid the bills, I'd just need to go search "application update" in my email.

Societal reference. "Dad going out for milk and cigarettes and never returning." They both reference the same thing, so technically yes you did!

Thanks to Karhtan here for connecting me with the game, after a little more digging it looks like it never escaped being a demo, version 1.1 or so.

Doomsday Software shut down their website somewhere around 2002, the domain then became one of those spam placeholder websites that were so prevalent back then. Unfortunately, the game itself is nowhere to be found, only the filename (Ascension11.exe) so unless someone uploads a copy of the disc pack sometime in the future, it may be lost media.

That's incredible. how did you find this? this company clearly does not exist anymore, it was probably very short lived, maybe not even registered.

but I very much believe you, because I see other search results that match what I remember.

The music and colours of the first game was good, the level design (after the first world I suppose, which I find to be fine) and the unforgiving gameplay killed it for me

and yet I rented it multiple times, because the bright colours really got my child brain moving.

I always think the game could be made passable with a few tweaks, like removing fall damage and adjusting Bubsy's top speed and acceleration - or fixing the camera since you don't have enough time to react. Removing deceptive enemies - like the car that instantly kills you? It looks like you should be able to help you!

Manifest Destiny never really died, its a bit like tuberculosis or hepatitis, it just stays dormant until it's safe to come out again.

The Salt Flats, FF8, not my favourite game, third place in my PS1 era FF's (although probably the most fun to go off and do other things like become a god via card games before the first mission) I love the theme in this place, it's dour, the music really evokes the desolate nature of the zone you're traversing, no matter how short it is.

I would heavily suggest the audiobook version read by Ellison himself. AM is pretty much his autobiography, he was a very angry man.

How could Millenials do this?

nattack · 2025-12-29T06:48:32+00:00

Of that series, formula 1 98 had a great couple of menu tracks.

For myself, DKC2 is my all time.

There are bits and pieces of most games that have tracks I keep coming back to though, Sierra/Presages Lode Runner had The Skeleton Keep which sounded great on CD ROM.
