so recently our cat has found out that sleeping in my mothers chair is very fun
and she has gotten so used to it so quickly that my mother has to run to the chair faster than the cat so that she can even sit down, and when she does sit down my cat decides to lay on the table

the call of duty fandom is fascinating and horrifying. the series is clearly tom clancy pulp that serves up this alpha-bravado gritty hollywoodization of "modern" war, complete w right wing conspiracy. but when they start exploring near-future settings, players go "cod is supposed to be realistic 🙄"

In Super Mario 64, parts of Lethal Lava Land are actually made out of leather, which simply appears to be stone due to the low resolution of the textures.

That got me an answer, at least: it was nothing to do with me and everything to do with the studio’s ontologically evil c-suite acting without thought or care to whose lives they ruined. And they *had* ruined mine. I’d end up being unemployed for 9 months as the game industry burned down.

Lot of replies on this one saying “you dodged a bullet” and uh no I’m pretty sure I got hit by a very large bullet that made me bleed a lot and nearly die instead of I guess the apparently much worse bullet of “making 240k/yr after bonus”
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
