Number 2 is a great point. That’s what I hate about LinkedIn and why I only use it to look/apply for jobs and occasionally scroll through if I’m super bored.

My experience in my current job are endless cold emails from salespeople who don’t even understand that I have no use for their product. I work in a field where I have to research a lot of different equipment/parts for my client, but that I don’t use myself. I had to request a catalog from one of these places which involved giving my work email address. Now I get endless emails about how they’ll ‘be in my area’ (LOL no you won’t because I work remotely across the country from both my company and my client) and they want to demonstrate their new product…which I don’t use because I don’t work in that field. Makes me laugh every time and yes it is very spammy.

Iceland, followed closely by Finland.

He would be an immediate block for me, anytime I see a sentence and not a job title under their name. It’s served me well so far the rare times I open LinkedIn.

So I played it for a while several years ago and kinda got bored with it. I got to the bottom of the mine and had married one of the characters, and my farm (such as it was) was mostly automated so not much to do there. I know there are a bunch of story moments but I got tired of wandering around randomly trying to meet the conditions to trigger them. I wanted it to happen organically without looking it up. I just felt like I ran out of things to do and there was no point to keep playing.

At the same time, I want to play it on my Steam Deck because I did enjoy what I did play!

After watching it completely through within the last few years, I can say I rank it higher than Voyager.

Also, LinkedIn

I’m more partial to The Power of Failing, but I’ll take any Mineral. Did you see the two new songs they released for the 25th?

Whatever Commodore 64 ran, back when I was a little kid in the early 90s.

Anathallo

Mineral

Neither together anymore, although Mineral did play some reunion shows in 2019.

Signs & Minority Report

Islets. First Metroidvania I’ve ever tried and I love it.

Cats. When you earn their affection you feel like you’ve really earned it, as opposed to a dog who just loves everyone.

Oh no.

Edit: In case I’m coming across sarcastic, I’m not. I loved LD probably the most of the new batch of Star Trek shows. It was just a joy to watch.

I do feel sorry for the admin staff that have to deal with it, and my ire is 90% directed at insurance. However, when they can’t even read the back of the insurance card to follow the instructions to properly file a claim, it just gets tiring.

Haha exactly! I mean, I know this is how it works, it just feels like it’s gotten way worse in the last few years.

Completely agree. Just had to vent.

I completely agree about it being the providers responsibility. The problem is, they don’t want to do anything to resolve the issue either. Other times, it doesn’t even involve the provider, they did everything right but for some byzantine reason it didn’t go through the insurance system correctly and you have to call them and tell them to process it the same way they have processed every other exact same bill from the exact same provider.

Just wanted to vent. I should clarify I live in the US (as if that wasn’t clear from my post LOL!)

So I WAS on 11 until all of the sudden my computer refused to boot with the special hardware thing enabled. Had to downgrade to Windows 10 and the mobo manufacturer’s response was ‘try replacing every other part in your PC’…sorry I don’t have the money to have spare parts of everything just lying around. 10 works perfectly fine, and it’ll give me an excuse to upgrade my mobo in Oct 2025. :-)
