After more than a year out of work and over 400 job apps I finally landed a Technical Supervisor position at a big game studio. I've been riding high all day, the day went by so quickly.

So this is what it feels like to be happy, huh? Not bad.

My whole life is about to change for the better.

That's fantastic - congratulations!

I hope it goes really well :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Just 3 am realization that I've dedicated the entirety of my teen-adult life to this hobby. Maybe some regrets financially but at the end of the day it makes me happy, I think. Thanks everyone.

Even if the passion eventually fades it will be something you remember forever. Life is all about minimizing regrets, so if the positives outweigh them you've succeeded as a human being.

I was shocked and super happy to see the Nintendo Direct today where Master Hero Soccer Guy talked about the history of the Neo Geo. I REALLY hope this means future partnerships between Nintendo and SNK (I'm a bit of a Neo Geo fan myself). Totally caught me off-guard  ;D

Did that like 4 years ago, it promptly got cock blocked by the GH gestapo. I would not write "(they kept spamming: easy game, ez pizi, get rekt, etc.)" What game is this? Never have I seen such civilized spamming.

$100 in cash?
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Sadly no front lawn, otherwise he would be further away and less annoying.  Looking forward to laughing at him soon too - he couldn't get a four wheel drive rally car to go forward in a bit of snow (too many revs, wheels spin as he slides backwards :))) so he has no hope with this car.

Nope, it is still a special tax on people with poor math skills. That said, I play from time to time myself.

A kid at work won $5K last summer and bought a car (which he promptly wrecked). I went in and got something like 3 winners on the next 5 cards I bought, but since then it has been near-solid losses.

If you believe in a lottery God, then maybe he is like a drug dealer sucking you in to get you hooked.
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

A hot cup of tea,

a light rain,

the colors green and white together,

laid back relaxed music, (Lofi, medieval, classical piano, Joe Hisaishi, dungeon synth)

a surprised and sudden smile from someone,

lots of small things really bring out that happy in me.

Just came back from wigwam pods - it was a nice getaway from work and usual life.
Wooden small pod with beds and bathroom, fire pit in th front, having some sausages and marshmallows over the fire.
Fishing at one day, didn't catch anything, but just sitting there and watching the float makes me happy :)

Still have rest of this week off, so will chill out and rest.

Yes, that is quite true. Children ARE like plague rats too, always bringing things home with them.

However when you've been working from home for four months with a three-year-old, the risk is worth it. Plus our nursery is taking it super seriously with the masks and distancing.

Me? I've only left the house four times in four months.

When you get takeout fries and save the napkins, then later when you go to use one as a tissue it smells like delicious french fries.
Or delicious chips as some might say.

When you make a video suggestion on one of your favorite YT channels and then they actually use it for a video. It's like high quality content created just for me!

I've bought an AEK in near mint condition. The seller never opened the switches (Orange Alps) and I did, and they're almost pristine.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Just ordered a NK65 Entry Watermelon colorway, this makes me happy - it was a toss up between purple, cartridge gold, and fire.  The new limited colorways are awesome and can't wait to do a build with it.

Having parts incoming for a build all arrive on the same day always makes me happy. Especially if it's right before a weekend  :thumb:

Same day, or within the same week for me.

I've got caps delivering today :p
