Now that cyle IS our product engineering team, I can finally put my feet up, and relax.
yup, it’s all me now, folks. all of you can retire early. 👍
my reign as product engineering ended today, one month shy of 10 years.
My feet are down, and I am no longer relaxing.

I AM NOT PAYING 500 DOLLARS + 20 DOLLARS YEARLY + 80-90 DOLLARS FOR A CARTRIDGE THAT DOESNT EVEN CONTAIN THE GAME DATA JUST TO PLAY A GAME, NINTENDO.
Chat is this real?
UNFORTUNATELY, YES.
how does one develop discipline in the first place. it seems like discipline requires initial discipline to develop. it's a paradox.
you have to hit rock bottom so hard that you almost die
find somebody else with discipline and ask to borrow theirs until you develop your own
SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T
it probably also wont cost 80 fucking dollars
There was this one dude at the pizza place that I really loved. He, like many of my coworkers, had a criminal record. If I remember right he was dealing an insane amount of drugs which he freely admitted to me with the adage, “Seriously, don’t do drugs, fucks your teeth up, for real.”
In general he was a very easygoing coworker and always helped balance my overload of anxiety with waves of utter calm. When I made a huge mess of milkshakes one day I was about to cry but he calmly stepped up and was like, “Don’t sweat it, the floor was clean before and we can get back to that, nothing is permanent.” I’m paraphrasing but the sentiment is there.
But my other favorite thing about him was how open minded he was. I’ve mentioned how a large portion of the staff was pretty religious, and so was he, which I learned by one day saying, “Hey want to hear a fun fact?”
He did.
“So humans evolved to always be looking for water, the shine of it was one of the ways we could find it so that’s why humans love shiny stuff, cause our brains are always looking for that sparkle.” Please accept that I’ve never looked into this fun fact and enjoy the story.
“Well, I don’t believe in evolution cause I believe in God,” he said.
This was news to me and made me instantly regret sharing this particular fun fact, but he continued, “But maybe God made us good at looking for water and now we love diamonds and shit.”
I was delighted. He could have shut down my fun fact but instead he was like, here’s how I could keep my faith and acknowledge this thing you were excited to share. It was just a lovely graceful moment that I still appreciate years later.
good news: its not $60 any more
bad news: its not $60 any more

I'm fairly certain I can directly blame Kid's WB. See also tiny toons, animaniacs, earthworm jim, bugs & daffy, and to some extent pokemon
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
