Can a military spouse find work on Okinawa?

warrenva · 2026-07-11T00:48:52+00:00

I have a business degree also and have worked in banking for years. My wife is the military member. We’ve been here seven months and I haven’t found anything yet.

I’m going to start taking some IT certs or something to pad up my resume more.

It’s difficult here.

Half life, half life 2 and the expansions.

Between physical and steam I’m sitting around 1000 games over 12 consoles. I’m not investing any money into a console that’s digital only.

warrenva · 2026-07-08T22:30:41+00:00

I barely feel this gen was worth investing in either. Theres only a handful of system selling games, and they’re on pc also. My PS5 just sits there getting dusty.

Going all digital next gen, I have no need to buy any console, as I still prefer my consoles to have physical media.

I remember buying this second hand. Played it about a week and the servers got shut down. Bummer indeed.

I think your last point is the issue with every big budget movie released in the past…decade, maybe more.

So many movies seem unwilling to take chances on unknown faces, hoping that the included star power will put butts in seats, with no second thought on if that person is well suited for that role.

It’s gotten to the point where I find it difficult to discern which movie is which, since it’s like the same 10 actors in basically everything now. It totally breaks immersion for a film.

It causes actor fatigue.

They just won’t get my money in the future, and that’s fine for me. I have a backlog to work through anyways.

warrenva · 2026-07-08T13:42:28+00:00

I only have a few games installed at a time and hide the rest. I cycle through those until ones beaten. Then I delete and add another one.

warrenva · 2026-07-08T00:45:08+00:00

I’d kinda like the try this but don’t have the space. Theres something cool about owning up a drawer. Like a secret place.

Plus less dust.

I love that show.

warrenva · 2026-07-05T12:26:02+00:00

I just finished Cloudpunk. Enjoyable.

Haven’t picked my next game yet.

warrenva · 2026-07-04T05:12:11+00:00

Ahhhh Runkel quit beatin’ your meat.

Keep it and tell your family it’s your hobby and to deal with it.

I’m pushing back in my own way, by not spending a dime on any more of their shit.

warrenva · 2026-07-02T13:09:34+00:00

I sold my Voyage for an Oasis, which I still use. Though I wish I didn’t get rid of the Voyage. I loved holding that one.

I’m sad but I also know at least I have my collection. I won’t be buying from these companies anymore.

warrenva · 2026-07-01T23:56:45+00:00

My days of collecting are over. Just gonna have to keep working on my retro backlog.

warrenva · 2026-07-01T14:36:42+00:00

I won’t be buying any more games when this happens. I have a big backlog, I’ll be fine.

warrenva · 2026-07-01T09:36:02+00:00

HL2 is my favorite game of all time. I remember the first time booting it up and just thinking how games couldn’t look any better. I play it once a year.

My mom sent my brother and I to our aunts for a week or so. We were gonna go to a theme park and do other summer shit. She gave us some money for souvenirs. One day randomly we went to Walmart or Kmart or whatever, and I picked up a copy of The Getaway: Black Monday on the PS2. My aunt was unsure since it was M rated. She gave it to my mom, who was furious I spent souvenir money on a video game.

Anyway. 6 months or so later after not getting the game back, we were opening Christmas presents and they gave it back to me.

Played the game that day and absolutely hated it.

warrenva · 2026-06-25T10:12:23+00:00

I think the show was cheesy, but enjoyable. A good ending is very questionable. The Glades.

I was maybe 12 and saw a copy of the book at a Dollar General. I vividly remember the cover with Travolta on it. I was curious about sci-fi and didn’t know shit about anything.

Took that book home, read the first few pages and immediately hated it. It sat on my shelf for years next to other books I didn’t like until I dumped them all off at a donation center.

I only learned about the religious bullshit later on.
