I was wondering anyone was interested in a Warhammer General Discussion Thread. There has been some threads in the past but no one "come here to talk about anything warhammer" thread so I thought it would be neat. Just a gauge of interest before I commit myself to making the OP as I do know we have some players on the site.

Actually, it exists! There's a thread dedicated to Warhammer armies, both painting and collecting. Though, no one other than me has talked in it since September. Warhammer (both fantasy and 40k) is pretty niche as a hobby, so it's not surprising.

For the Warhammer thread would it be just limited to tabletop?

Because I don't play tabletop at all but I would love to talk about 40K lore or even the videogames.

TSM loses to worst team in the league and is still in the top 10? I get that it was like "close" or whatever, but being ahead of other teams like IG and Samsung Blue seems odd to me. Wrong even.

Coast is not worst team in league. XDG is, and in current trends, they look stronger than EG and Curse as well. They're probably tied with Dig for 4th in terms of current performance. Some of the top teams even expected them to be like top 3 before season started. They clearly got skill, it's not overly surprising to me that they beat TSM.

I made Tacos at 1 am. Then the construction crew came back to the shop and wanted some. So I made 20$ and can have more tacos tomorrow!

Night shift is so incredibly boring I can't even focus on trying to read a book

. I'm like 200 pages into Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind and I enjoy it but I'm afraid to keep reading right now because of falling asleep.

Should have brought my 3ds X_X

What do you do exactly? QA for like road side cameras at toll booths right?

It's QA/IT/SYSADMIN all in one. It's not just the cameras its the tolling equipment too. The sensors in the ground, the systems that read your tag, everything. I watch all of that. There's like 15 different things for each lane at any given time, with more if it's a manned lane (Someone taking your money).

I also fix customer based issue should they have an issue with their Audits of the cameras (The people in the manned booths like to steal.). There is a laundry list of things I do on that side.

Then you have the actual server/database work I do, where if the DB doesn't get the information it needs to all the Tag Readers in a certain time people get charged wrong or not at all. Which is kind of a big deal when the government doesn't get it's money.

Mostly the same stuff with redacted "calling people for shit" powers. Starting at ~9pm I can only call the on call guy, and only if the issue is "Revenue Impacting". The difference is that there is just a small quantity of shit to do at night because I'm the only soul in a 1 mile radius awake.

It's awesome the first day or two. Tonight I realized that I'm going to need more than just reddit for 8 hours. If nothing breaks then I have nothing to do other than the standard "Checks" of every corridor. So it's reddit and a super computer that doesn't have the ability for streaming video.

I'm stuck to watching twitch on my phone, but I can go to every porn site under the sun if I wanted to. I like my job though. So I don't.

Maybe, I'm TECHNICALLY not supposed to do that either. I might just get a Tablet or something and use that for the same functionality. I only need it to play movies/netflix or whatever, simply because I'm not going to be gaming while at work. We'll see though.

Not like you're going to be doing anything else at night.
Also, on a level 1 to 10 on creepy scale, how creepy is it being alone in an office?

Eh, It's more creepy in the parking lot than it is otherwise. My car is parked right outside the window, but the door way has a motion sensor on it if something goes by. It turns on every now and then due to the wind, but it makes you look.

There is something like motion sensor lights turning on in people's offices for no reason sometimes. I just don't really think about it too much. If the power goes out I'd prolly panic like a little girl. Zombies man.

Ugh, I hate night shifts. Hope I never have to work it again... after a while they just destroyed my soul. Also I read somewhere that people who work nightshifts live like 3-4 years less on average so the thought that the job was literally killing me was always in my head. Not sure if that's even true and it's probably only concerning like 30+ years of nightshift or something but still.

And you should find a better book. Terry Goodkind just gets worse and worse after the first book.

Most people who do night shifts try to keep their "normal" schedule, when the reality of it is you need completely switch your schedule around to prevent your body's metabolism messing up and you getting really sick. For example, you can't eat breakfast at breakfast time. You'd need to eat it at dinner (6pm or so), and dinner at breakfast (around 7am). Otherwise you can get physically ill doing night shifts over long periods of time.

I've just been kind of "Snacking". Lots of nuts and trailmix to appease my hunger during the shift, Generally with Subway on my way to work at 8pm. Then something light in the morning when I get home about 6am while i unwind before bed at about 8-9 am. I've noticed I'm much more tired, but I think that's mostly because of the fact that normal humans tend to want to BE ASLEEP when it is dark out.
