  • I’ve gotta rep one of my all time favorite party games to this day (ported to PC) Worms Armageddon. They’ve had several sequels, but I believe that was the last one to use that particular physics engine, and every game since has just felt a bit… Hollow?

    Also +1 to Paper Mario - S-Tier RPG, best of the whole series IMHO, tho the GameCube sequel TTYD is deserving of a very close second. I wish so bad they’d make a return to badges and acquiring new buddies and buddy upgrades throughout the game. The oragami king battle mechanics did not do it for me, and with it being the core mechanic of the game just soured my whole experience despite the rest of the game being pretty solid.





  • Never take time for granted - expect you’ll have less of it than you want or need.

    It can really help with getting priorities straight - whether that’s with work or with your personal life. Where is it exactly you want to spend the most valuable and limited resource you have? Your time?






  • Any company taking 2FA seriously will either compensate you for the requirements to fulfill that security, or provide you with the devices necessary. I used to work at Duo. I currently work for another company that does more or less the same thing. Your company’s security team will do whatever it takes to get you compliant because not doing that is on them and not you.

    It’s honestly wild for a company to allow an employee to be on the verge of locked out of critical services and not be resolving that on their own. They have the metrics in duo to be able to see that you have no viable device to 2FA with.





  • If there’s one thing I’ve learned having and caring for many cats over the last 30 years, they’ve all got their quirks. Some were over eaters that would throw up almost daily. Some would be grazers and do just fine with their bowls full all day and night. No answer is going to be just right for every cat.

    If you have cats that eat at different paces, you might just have to feed them on a schedule in separate locations. That was the only way we could handle it when we had the same situation.



  • I am a lazy launderer and my partner has loads of clothes of various fabrics.

    My trick that has never let me down:

    wash everything on cold

    When rotating to the dryer, indiscriminately pick out any tops that don’t feel like regular “t shirt” fabric, pick out all bottoms that aren’t obviously cotton, pick out all wool, pick out all dresses, button up shirts, skirts, or “full body” garments as regardless of what fabric they feel like they tend to be more sensitive to the heat.

    The rest can go in the dryer, but hang dry all the stuff you picked out.

    I might end up hang drying more than I need to, but it beats the hell out of checking the tag on every individual garment.
