i just really picked books from popular scifi authors that i could remember on top of my head cause the alternatives during the huge books sale were mostly young adult novels or romance novels which i don't mind but the old scifi stuff are much much harder to find without ordering it online




so OG is a daed team eh

i thought that mr.gameboy team was abit decent chinese team

Alooooot more relaxing than my previous job at an actual software development company which is weird cause i have so much more responsibilities in my current job. I'm not only expected to do my job as a programmer(which is why they hired me in the firstplace) but i also sometimes do secretary work(my immediate superior is the secretary which also happens to be the sort-off head IT of the gov. agency) for the regional director(i work for the government). I also do plenty of troubleshooting and just general office assistance (just about anything IT related ) so it can be annoying when i'm in the middle of a really frustrating debugging process or just coding a complicated solution that requires my full attention as they tend to cut me off in the middle of work. I am also placed beside the main phoneline of the agency so i answer alot of phonecalls sometimes for agenda definitely not for me(like for the legal department)

I actually do alooot more work now than before (tho now i only work like 8-9 hrs a day while previously i did work 14-16 hrs a day). I feel like i'm doing work of 2-3 people but i don't actually feel like i hate my job like before. It's just exhausting but satisfying i guess

Maybe it also helps that the people i work with are pleasant and actually nice. And going home 5 pm everyday seems nice

ya im awful now (the 70 games ive played last month first since lotv) but the mm system is super wierd for sure. First it just place me against people i beat over and over. then it promote me straight from gold to diamond. and now this season its normalized to feel about right and im where i deserve to be in low diamond. T is pretty punishing to play as old/slow/bad version of me. /shrug

You can cook it over charcoal/wood be careful as this does tend to cook the rice a bit too much. Add lots of water

You can also just do in the stove (electrical or gas) just use a glassware just lower the temperature about the time you can already see the rice. It basically works the same as a ricecooker

Thanks man.

On OG i thought they lost Ana that's why they're sucking. Ana kinda filled the role of the reliable un-tiltable carry

That's some good news goody. Working more than 10hrs over prolonged periods of time leads to burnout. Generally speaking.

@ith might you be interested in this visual novel?
I've got a steam key for it from last month's humble bundle.

Cook rice in plenty of water for 10 min or so.
Drain water.
Put oil in pot. Lay out 0.5 inch potatoe slices and gently stack the rice on top of it.
Cook for 30min
Done.

For correct timings see here!

PoE is fantastic, but feels like too much of a time commitment to actually play. Like, I could play ~4 hours in the next week, and am like "might as well not even start tbh"

what i usually did was rice and water in a pot/saucepan on the stove, measure the level of the rice in the pot/saucepan with two fingers and try to make sure the water is the same level above the rice, then just let it boil until it starts bubbling, then lower the fire to the smallest possible and let it be for a few minutes, usually the doneness of the rice is indicated by appearance, there's a possibility of it sticking to the bottom of the pot tho

i just did this for the first time in over a year yesterday and it turned out just a little too wet cos i ahd just a little too much water :D
