I was in a similar situation. A few weeks after I got hired, the project I was hired for was cancelled, so they “benched” me.

I spent three months being paid to do whatever I wanted, didn’t even need to go to the office. It was nice at first, but I felt useless and miserable after a couple of months.

This made me understand why some people keep working long after they have enough to retire.

IMO, the Vita is the best platform for playing Hotline Miami.

Try Soul Sacrifice Delta if you are into dark games.

If you are into action RPGs, check out Odin Sphere.

Also, a good chunk of the PS1 and PSP libraries are compatible with the Vita, so it’s worth trying out some classics. I still boot up my Vita once in a while just to play Symphony of the Night.

Smartphones. Most people don’t need to buy the latest and greatest iPhone every year.

You can get that yellow cassava in any supermarket here in Brazil. I like making soup with it.

I wonder why it’s rare everywhere else, it’s so much more delicious than potatoes and other types of cassava.

That’s a fair point. Just like Malenia being hidden away behind multiple layers of secrets. It’s content made only for the hardest of the hardcore fans.

That’s fair. I hope they tone down the difficult in the sequel. I was able to get through the base game, but the extra content is just way too difficult.

You should check out Frog Fractions

You should check out Dead Space 3 co-op mode. It’s basically what you described here.

Hollow Knight Silksong :(

Metal Gear Rising

I am optimistic about it. The old Devil May Cry anime was pretty good.

Some annoying dumb fuck I don’t even remember the name anymore. That was almost a decade ago.

Dude was a compulsive liar, he would brag about being some sort of super genius, but couldn’t even understand basic instructions.

When he wasn’t slacking off, he was failing at doing the most basic tasks and annoying other people into doing it for him.

I think he didn’t even last three months on the job. Given his lack of shame, ability to confidently lie and over hype his non existent qualities, I imagine he must be a successful politician or CEO nowadays.

I am traveling with my Steam Deck right now. Best purchase I made this year!

Ring of Pain. It’s a creepy dungeon crawler roguelite. I don’t know why, I’ve seen everything the game has to offer and somehow I keep coming back to it.

The Genesis Young Indiana Jones game. Played it a lot when I was a kid, because I owned very few games. Got so good at it I was able to beat the whole thing without dying. I loved that game.

Then a few days ago, James Rolfe played it in the latest AVGN episode and holy cow that game is absolute garbage. For the curious, you can check it out from 18:34: https://youtu.be/xPsN_rcEpu4

Over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that good managers in general are rare and the few good ones don’t go far in their careers because big companies favors backstabbing psychopaths and narcissists, just like in politics.

Happened when management started treating the IT department like crap and demanding we work overtime with no extra pay. Almost all the experienced developers left in the spam of a year.

Before I left, I told them they would never be able to assemble such a good team again. Four years later and they are still struggling to keep the department running, according to a friend that chose to stay. The few developers they are able to hire are either terrible or quit after a while.

I get the feeling the same will happen in my current job :/
