My shop would also do any tech repair so it was fun to work on PCs and be somewhat jealous over someones parts. It's also very relaxing to me to repair devices, fixing phones was always the best because you would noticeably improve someones day when you hand their device back to them. Unfortunately towards the end the company got bought out and then they wanted us to do sales + tech repair. They had a protection plan that covered all tech you owned except phones (which we saw the most of) - seemed kinda silly but they would breathe down our necks until we sold 10+ plans a month. Additionally, I had to run the entire store by myself (I was the sole employee) after we got bought out and they would not promote me, telling me I "lacked initiative" so that really accelerated my departure.
Other than that, shockingly enough doing backroom at Walmart. I loved throwing the truck (except in the heat) and we would listen to music and generally have a bit of a blast. They did try to cut out the music but we prevailed. Not sure if you can do that anymore though.

This is by far the dumbest thing I've ever made but I had fun making it. Currently the cooldown for moving pieces is 1 second which should (hopefully) become longer as more people make moves. Makes for some interesting gameplay.
Future plans so far may be to restrict players to only be able to move one side's pieces, and maybe a democracy mode. Not sure yet though.

Where yo' racks go?
Oh, you spent it on hoes, money, drugs, and clothesI'm guessing he means counterfeit money, but the line is just strange this way imo.
There's also my favorite example of this ever (from Lil Yachty's song Peak A Boo):
My new bitch yellow
She blow that dick like a celloWhich he tried to justify on Genius
OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I'ma let you know. I'ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that.. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man. I don’t know if you know what this is, but it ain’t that.” I fucked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don’t. That’s a flute. I fucked up. But it do sound good.
Squidward, famous flute player.

I've gotten way too used to these mods in addition to Stardew Valley Expanded that I often forget that certain things are from those mods. If you ever start a new save, I'd recommend trying them out!
East Scarp specifically has a couple "addon" characters as well, I really like Eli and Dylan as well as Rodney O'Brien. I don't think there are similar character addons for Ridgeside Village but there's already a ton of new characters in that mod. It does make the introductions quest a bit challenging though! (although you can turn off Ridgeside NPCs for the intro quest in the mod settings)

I'm also a huge fan of Outer Wilds' soundtrack, but there's so much more from that game that you'd have to search a bit for (after you beat it of course!). My favorite Outer Wilds song is by far Older Than the Universe or Reprise

What can you do if the company behind them have to change it, update it? What if they get bought out? We're breaking new (and weird) ground with these AI companions, and I believe things are only going to get stranger from here.

- Glass Animals (top 0.05%!)
I've been a fan of them since the Zaba days, so it's real cool to see how big they've gotten since. I also saw them live this year!
- Goth Babe
Discovered him this year! Very "interesting" music if that makes sense, wide variety of vibes but all generally good.
- Tame Impala
Who doesn't like Tame Impala. Bigger fan of his earlier stuff though.
- ODESZA
One of my favorite EDM acts, next to...
- Flume
Still have yet to see him live, but I'm also a fan since his self-titled days! Fun to see him grow as well.
Top Songs:
- Santa Fe - DEVOTED (top 0.001%!)
What a good song! Makes me feel like I'm driving home through the American Southwest, I suppose that's a good thing given the song is about Santa Fe, New Mexico.
- waves (Tame Impala remix) - miguel
Just a good song to listen to in the car if that makes sense. Good driving music but also good party music. What's not to love?
- Lovers Rock - TV Girl
Ok look, I went through a breakup and TV Girl kept me going, but especially this song.
- Weekend Friend - Goth Babe
Only song on my top 5 songs by one of my Top 5 artists. Isn't that fun? Anyway, really nice vibe for this song. Feels like I'm on a beach.
- Pink Skies (Demo) - Wiley from Atlanta
Super sad that this seems to be a "one-good-song" artist, but damn is that song good.
"Raw" Stats:
103,262 minutes listened (top 1%!)
6,721 songs from 4,041 artists.
April was "Vlog Shred Future Bass", July was "Boujee Clean Rap Hip Hop" (?), and September was "Van Life Beach Indie Chill"

You may need to get a lawyer. Don't sue or do anything just yet, but having a letter sent on the lawyer letterhead might scare 'em enough to get a move on.

I'd also go so far as to say we don't need to make any more comedy games as we probably peaked here. The game is just genuinely funny with some shockingly touching moments.

Google's implementation wasn't part of the RCS spec, which defeats the whole purpose of interoperability (and the purpose of a standard specification at all). Last I read, Apple (and Google) were working on getting E2EE added to the RCS spec.

cmd,powershell, orwtinto the path bar will open CMD/PowerShell/Windows Terminal respectively in the current directorySet-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource Historywill try to auto complete your commands with ones that you previously entered (you may need to Install the PSReadLine module)Adding onto that, you can press
Ctrl+Rto search your command historyPressing
Win+XthenGwill bring you into Computer Management,Iwill open PowerShell/Windows Terminal, andAwill open an admin PowerShell/TerminalFor some reason, if you're using a Chromium/Electron based app and it refuses to open, clicking the icon 3 times will make it open. I'm not 100% sure if this is just placebo but it has worked every time on Discord and Chrome (back when I used it)
