Isn’t this like 3 years old at this point?
Hehehe it is! But I looked it up again just 'cause (plus I’ve been playing Control again on PS5 with sweet, sweet 60fps).
And it’s still really great!
My two week vacation begins NOW…almost. Just a few hours to go. Don’t have any plans other than not going to work, but I do feel just a little bit bad about it. I’m leaving my boss and co-workers in a bit of a jam but it’s often like this when someone goes on vacation. There’s never really a good time and we all know it. I expect the place to probably be in a mess when I get back but so be it. I’m gone…almost. ![]()
Neat! I’m going on a little 1.2 week roadtrip with my fam tomorrow. Packing now, and ooh 9 days is tough to think of for packing, haven’t done this in a while! ![]()
It’s not too far of a drive from where you live.
But I’m already broke and you’re trying to make me even broker. ![]()
But seriously though, I kinda want to cool out for a bit. It’s nice not having anywhere to go for a while.
My one and a half week vacation starts on 14th September, when Mortal Kombat 1 gets released ![]()

I just have been hired by my factory! That means I am no longer an intern.
Here interns have contracts with agencies for some years before proving themselves worthy and then passing directly with the workplace which means having full benefits and a contract that lasts for ever.
In my factory they do like this: they hire you for 2 months, after those 2 months if you prove to be good willing to learn and you work good they renew your contract for other 4 months. At the end of those 4 months trial they will renew you again for other 5 months. After those 5 months they will keep you under agency contract for another 6 months and after that if they are happy and you are happy they will propose to you to be hired directly by them which of course is every intern desire.
That day was yesterday for me and I am so so happy because now I have all the insurances for a stable life.
Which means I am ready to start a family because I feel and am financially supported. My work place pays very well and if I do extra days which I do a lot of them it pays even better. Enough to support myself, my girlfriend and the kid for at least 3 years alone before she can start working again.
A Message From @Clemens_IOI :
This is a big loss for the Hitman community, you’ve done great for us and I hope that we will see you more in the community.
This would explain why his handle changed on Twitter… He will be missed. He and Travis were such an iconic duo.
Still, I wish him luck on his future endeavors sans IOI!
Welp, my dad, our designated 10-hour endurance driver, came down with two kidney stones and induced nausea last night, so is now in the hospital for a bit while they get that out of him.
So, we’re in quebec for one more day than expected… hopefully, if he’s better tomorrow.
We’ve gone shopping for food and stuff today, and I think I’ve spoken more french today than I have the entire past year already. I’m rusty but its good to use!
I stopped listening to/watching this guy because he spoke with way too much uptalk. In the first few minutes of this video, it seems that he’s made efforts — conscious or not — to rein that in.
It’s one of the first video reviews that showed up for me, so I went with his review. Did watch a few more and most agree that Starfield has the best writing in any modern Beth game, the exploration being a bit lackluster since it involves going through many menus and also it’s Beth’s less buggy game. The 7s and 8s are good for a new IP.
Read the domestic review an hour ago and the feelings were pretty much the same: on the one hand great visuals and visual design plus atmosphere, probably the best writing in a Bethesda game with some really good quests, little to no bugs, and fun customization mechanics; on the other lackluster exploration with repetitive procedural planet generation (surprise surprise) and associated tedious/clumsy menu navigation, loading screens between exteriors and interiors, bad gunplay and starship battles, upscaling turning enemies into massive bulletsponges, and also some controls (particularly spaceship) clearly designed for gamepads and thus clunky on m+kb. Essentially a fun and beautiful-looking game hampered by some ancient Bethesda design choices. Got a 7/10.
Anyways, there’s a dedicated Starfield thread, so we should move any further discussion there.
Mmkay so dad’s fine, they did the surgery last night, he got discharged today and we’ll stay an extra day here, but this’ll slow our journey down east a bit. Mum can drive, but not as long as originaly planned… Will probably make one more interim stop between here and NS tomorrow.
Anxiety is high (for us all) but I’m glad everything seems to be working out ok.
He needs blood work tomorrow morning, but after that we should be off and finally making more progress on this thing…
Forgot to post it last night but we made it to Nova Scotia now. Finally, can spend some time where we actually planned to be…
Dad’s doing somewhat better. He was even fine enough to drive a bit too.
I love so many of you, omg, just lots of fuzzy feelings right now ![]()
