I’m going to say Helldivers 2 because I love liberty.




So I was a GM for a FS company’s account for an Investment Firm in Seattle for awhile, and for some reason they wanted me to pay the coffee account through my company credit card. Okie, dokie.

There were 3 floors of Starbucks coffee machines that ground and brewed each individual cup, and the hoppers on top held 2-3lbs (I forget). So that was min. 4 machines per floor, plus the C suite and catering, all the coffee we bought was from the same vendor. Now the kicker was, NONE of the storage cabinets in the break rooms had locks, so the employees were walking off with a veritable shit ton of free, premium coffee beans.

My CC had originally the standard 5k credit limit…and with everything else I needed to purchase that wasn’t going to be enough for the month, so I got the regional comptroller to get the limit increased…and then again…and then again.

We spent about 12-15k per month on just coffee (at our cost) which would translate to about 50k in sales to the company.

[Bonus bit: My CC limit ended up at a 35k limit which I kept after I left that account… nobody believed me that it was so high. I was a superstar doing openings when we needed to get new kitchen equipment that day and we rolled out to the local restaurant supply store and bought it on the card…at the end of my time with that company I was at a bitch of an account and stopped doing my monthly reconciliation report, to the tune of 6-7 months and over 250k of charges that they were screaming at me to get the receipts turned in…and to be honest I was out of fucks to give, and they made us use a new system that was absolutely a huge piece of time sucking shit].


This advice can’t be overlooked. When I was in HS I was out sick for the week we practiced the number row and man, many, many years later I still can’t blind type numbers (but can on a 10key).


I am blissfully unaware of the differences, and since I’m playing the steam deck on my TV the only HDMI cable I rummaged around for and found in our pile of obsolete cables is doing the job.


Good. The death of corporate social media can’t come soon enough.




I think about it as much as I do Facebook, twitter, and the turd I flushed this morning.





The modern corporation does not allow for innovation, its only focus is asset acquisition, stripping until there is nothing left and selling the corpse or shutting it down, all for those tasty quarterly gains for shareholders.


The amount of helldivers i have fragged with my (really ridiculous) copious amount of clusterbombs is probably up there in the order of…I’m a war criminal high.


Can’t wait for a text message from mom saying she was looking for a cookie recipe and got gore porn & some frog instead…



Next time I read about a mass killing by someone firing fully automatic digital downloads of COD in a room full of children I will come back to this thread and apologize to you.

Until then, I will consider you to be an absolute twat waffle defending the vague wording in a “living document*” that promotes profit over mass murder.

(* back in the day we were taught in Civics class that the US constitution is a living document, meaning as society changes it too shall reflect the will of the people. At some point the education system dropped Civics classes because it gave way too much information to the masses and keeps the common person ignorant & therefore keeps them in place)


Right? I’ve had the Xbox since the beginning, didn’t get the last upgrade and finally sold the One to get a steam deck.


I reached game pass saturation a while ago…IMO it turned into basic cable TV with one or two good channels (games) and stuffed full of religious & shopping channels (while still promoting the quantity of games)



As a former corporate manager: lol, no. Scapegoats are slaughtered to save those higher on the rungs.


Ah man what a blast. Had it on Xbox but really played the shit out of it on my kids PC/steam while he was away, and he came back to a high rank & everything unlocked lol.

Is there active players on Steam still? I finally just sold the xbox & picked up a steamdeck




the trend of releasing incomplete garbage that needs fixing may kinda play in to it too
