I played Fallout 76 on PC for a couple hours last night and it was fun. Not too many bugs or glitches, didn’t really get to PVP (don’t really care to, though people tried to engage with me before I was even level 5). Looking forward to the new lore and quests.

so much for pre-loading… the @bethesda launcher decided to download #Fallout76 again when i tried to play it. 48gb on my DSL says it will take 13 more hours at current download speed.

is it a compliment to the author that i caught my 9yo staying up 2 hours after bedtime still reading a book?

how do i know? i did this, twenty years ago. i made websites for every waking hour of the day. all i did was code. then, my priorities changed and it went back to being a job.
mike susz
@mikesusz
i admire people (in a very specific way) who are passionate about coding and claim that it is all-consuming for them. but i certainly don't set that expectation for all, and i won't rely on them to produce more than others; if their life priorities shift, my project would die.

Also there’s been a lot of controversy and hatership about Dark Mode but I can say after a few hours using it my eyes feel SO MUCH better. If it’s not for you, turn it off and enjoy your day. Why hate.

when composing a features list for release notes, do you:
a.) use completed stories in Jira
b.) use closed/merged pull requests
c.) punch yourself in the face?

so using "@-here" on Slack is the new reply-all, along with the "@-here" shaming that follows.
people can manage their per-channel notification settings, maybe Slack should make this more obvious or easy?

it can get better. the only way to know what will happen is to hang on.
put your energy into being more aware. of your feelings, of your environment, of the things around you and within you that influence your mood. realize that what you are experiencing does not define you.

i’ve previously tried to encourage anyone suffering to seek help, but the reality is, professional help is only available to a privileged few.

oh one more reply - sorry, Missile Command was a video game from before you were born. it involved having to predict where a projectile was moving and launching countermeasures toward it.
you can learn more about it at wikipedia, or at your local library! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_Command

as my responsibilities move farther away from what i'm passionate about (and i was good at) it gets tougher to make the argument that i need to change focus back to (those things) because i'm no long as good at the latest techniques, since my experience has lapsed
