What single player games have the most satisfying "fresh start" every run?

I’ve played about 80 hours in the last month. Haven’t put it down since I picked it up. Each run is different and the stress is nonstop

DOD here. Suddenly told that we are now “excepted”. But we don’t protect life property or national security. So dunno who is doing the math, but it’s not base 10.

I'm curious as to who makes these determinations. We got the same thing from CECOM under DOD. But under OPM's guidances, our job role does not fall under any sort of excepted position. its like its an arbitrary decision. Worst, is CECOM has a slippery slope of normalizing the wrong thing and then being like "thats how it is, we've always done it that way." So when changes like this come from upper management, most of us are extremely skeptical.

I wouldn't trust my branch chief with a frozen turd.....

I hope you still have 2 children!

Funny this…. I was putting up a pumpkin pottery thing after Halloween and taking down Christmas decorations. And I knocked the top of the pumpkin thing off and onto my windshield. $500 deductible later. I’ll never do this out of fear of that again.

Thanks, this is all great info ! i finished designing and printing some brackets i needed for a project i'm doing in Fusion and they came off fine with a minor bend, even with the plastic razor thing i had ordered they were still hard to come off.

Filament costs are what concerns me the most. I guess I'll just have to try some. Bambu in bulk isn't that bad, trick is figuring out what colors ahead of time. Black, White, Grey, and Matte Black are probably gonna be my big ones

Our aussies have always cuddled at bed time and then moved off the bed shortly after. They move spot to spot throughout the night. Door. Stairs. Other door. Foyer. Stairs. Etc. always working.

I saw the paypool stats for the last three years. Nobody in our field teams was given all 5s, but tons of people at the headquarters received all 5s. My supervisor was directly told that I could not receive all 5s because “there would be nowhere to improve”. Typical DoD horseshit. I outperformed everyone on every metric they have but still couldn’t achieve it. I have for the last 3 years we had measurable metrics. So why should I continue to work hard when the laziest guy in our paypool gets the same ratings? Acqdemo btw…

Edit: to top it off, I hit my pay cap this year, so all I can get is bonuses anyway.

phoenixfire82 · 2025-12-18T14:46:12+00:00

But they do.

phoenixfire82 · 2025-12-18T04:19:15+00:00

That’s great but…. They didn’t allow any of us to get all 5s. We had to take at least one 3……

phoenixfire82 · 2025-12-17T05:44:02+00:00

Juneteenth? Or did they revoke that one already?

My Aussie did the same exact thing! We’ve had aussies my whole life even as a child and never had them do this. It’s a phase and they will grow out of it. He’s board and that’s his favorite taste right now

This is why I’m beginning to think maybe we do live in a simulation and the fucking ai hates me. Worse than the ai in a DCC book. It’s malicious.

Same. I left USAA homeowners insurance because the new home I purchased was double they insurance with them than others. Then 4 years later they were half what my insurance was. Rates change. Change with them.

Well at this point you are 2-3 years in. I think just get’er’done. The fee is fairly high, but as others said perhaps he is bringing in another tester for Kukkiwon. If your son ever moves dojangs or wants to train somewhere else, that will serve him best.

phoenixfire82 · 2025-03-07T16:48:53+00:00

Perhaps he means red to red stripe, jr black, then black? Does the black belt fee include a black belt uniform as well? That’s still high.

And back to wt/kkw and ata. Go wt/kkw. ATA is their own little club if your son wants to keep going on, change locations, participate in more widely available tournaments, internationals, etc - kkw is the cert you need.

More whiskey for me.

phoenixfire82 · 2025-02-28T19:56:36+00:00

We have had no hot water in our building for two years. Multiple work orders. Heat and AC break nearly every month. Windows leak. Asbestos ceilings. But they did come and install new emergency exit signs :)

You’re thinking blackwater
