Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Yup - I get my wife the Green fosters beer because her neck game is crazy after she drinks 2 of those - Blue ones she just complains about my commitment to kill a purple dragon (not really - they hurt her tummy)

I think its memory loss

we tied an onion to our belts, which was the style at the time.

But we didnt have those big onions, because of the war. All we had was those little yellow ones.

Dang

I just died in a dream.

I had just started sleeping when i found myself going to the last floor in the building i live (11th).

Then, while climbing, it desacelerates then starts falling.

The dream me did notice there was no way to survive a fall from the 11th floor so i just let screamed “daaaang”.

Then i just stopped feeling the fall. I started to wonder if this is how we die? Simply lose any sense in the body, like we are a mind floating in the void. Way more peacefully tham what i expected.

But then i figured that i was dreaming, so i just needed to wake up, and i did. Then im here talking about this creepy nightmare here.

Or maybe this wasnt a dream but another dimension reality? So that my conscious, fading in that alternate reality, just fused with my current mind?

Farewell the alternate reality me. I will keep living on for us two.

Or maybe till the next elevator crashes into the ground then we migrate to the next dimension Panta, repeating the cycle till there is none left

I've been having rough 3 hour spurts of sleep, followed by half an hour of blowing my nose/drinking water or juice/nasal spray etc. Then back to sleep.

My dreams have all been disjointed short ones recently. Maybe I'll have one where I massage Panta's paws.

I haven't more than 2-3 hours of sleep at one time in a very long time. ***sucks.

If you jump before you hit the ground, you wont die, everyone knows this.

Kaffy putting the kaff in Kaffeinated! (sorry to hear that man, damn)

Funny enough, i actually thought about this in that dream.

But then i thought: “how would i know the right timing? I cant see outside of the elevator!”

Doubt panta would let you off the hook without sexy times.

Lol, not sure if you knew, but his profile pic is of a character from Samurai Shodown, aptly named "Nicotine Caffeine", who is the head of "Koka-in" temple

:/ I guess my physics professor was right, you should memorize formulas and practice doing them in your head. your life could depend on it!

Today was the department meeting. Probably a hundred physically in the place.

After the meeting, there will be the happy hour.

Thing is though, i joined the team near 3 months ago.

I barely know my close colleagues. The only one i know better is my manager.

So, a unexpected this or that for you.

Would you go to the happy hour

Or

Would you just go home after the corporate event?

Well, my answer is going to home after the official meeting.

Unfortunelly im feeling too out of place here, with so many people around but barely anyone i know.

I wont prolong this for more unknown number of hours, specially with so much work to do

You failed the test.

2d sprite art is beautiful, NEO GEO was an amazing piece of hardware

I actually did not know! I was making what I thought was a rather silly joke :D Unexpectedly it has layers!

Breaks my heart that SNK is giving up on 2D, their 3D stuff doesn't do the 2D legacy justice.

But so expensive!

Yeah it is a very expensive hobby to collect AES (console) and even some MVS (arcade) setups, I used to have a very nice home arcade setup back in the day, but I had to sell it when I was younger.

This is a real headline.

Asteroid the size of 2.5 chinchillas impacts over Russia, no damages reported - NASA, ESA
Jerusalem Post

NOT the Onion.

P. S. Panta how do you expect to get to know anyone if you don't go to a function DESIGNED to get people together to talk or just BS?

Well, missus, i expect to know people on a day to day basis because i do work at office 2 days per week.

Not when they are drinking their *** off while i stay sober because i dont like alcohool

Plus, my company is heavy on the DEI aspects.

One ambiguous comment should be enough for you to be classified as a humanity trash so i dont really think its worth exposing myself to that.

It should be also damn tiresome constantly validating every word you say or actions you do.

You just glimpse at your manager ***: “you filthy horny dog”.

You make a comment about someone is hot: “you filthy machist ***”.

You use some word that can imply color: “you *** racist”.

You say you like women: “you homophobic nazi”

Now an actual example: in the meeting some guy made his audiodescription.

“Hi, im black”.

I swear the first thing i thought was… what? I must be blind because i generally see the guy around my place, and never even crossed my mind he could be classified as that.

But then again, im ingenuously judging someone else by its color, what is exactly something that would put me in a tight spot at work.

I actually didnt think weird he would represent the DEI, but because he had a SUS mustache, not because of color.

Oh, here im again being a scum of society.

I need to be locked in the basement so people dont discover im the second coming of Hitlercat

I feel these days if a fighting game has no kick *** special moves with expressive cutscenes then it doesn't produce enough spectacle for casual audiences in esports.

I feel that may be why fighting games move to 3D so the camera can rotate/zoom for cool super attacks.

Le sigh….

It was supposed to be a simple job: open a nested menu on the screen showing some data so users can select it to make their lives easier.

Implement menu, implement mock data, test.

Everything seems fine but…. Where dafuq is the menu?

Oh, damn, the damn menu appeared BEHIND the modal screen.

Well, it should be easy to fix, right? I mean it just need to appear in front of the modal.

Internet solution: “you need to extend this unknown non-intuitive class, create a component of it, inject in the actual component, add boiler plate code that sounds gibberish, then it should work”.

Then i saying…. Wtf? All of this just for a damn small feat?

Dang, and here i thinking it would be an easy day, but not. Adding small feat will force me to create a spaghetti in an already bad code. I gonna spend the rest of the day thinking if i spoil even further this spaghetti or if i try to refactor a bit to maybe make the code more intuitive

A lot of those "socialising" things companies do are forced fun exercises. Let's go to a retreat for the weekend with all the people you work with every day but it's not work, it's "fun".

Yeah, no.

Imho, unless youre aiming for a promotion, the stakes are just too high.

On the other hand, if you do aim for a promotion, participating in those events is a must. You need to be visible to the others, do some virtue signaling, etc.

AFAIK the transition was more about development cost, at least in the case of SNK
Adopting cinematic supers naturally followed because every mainstream FG is doing it (even Tekken added supers)

well yeah they hired a dog in a suit, that is pretty diverse thinking.

All the more reason to partake in the socializing. The biggest virtue signalers need to see your virtue signal beacons, or theyre gonna assume you're a bad evil nazi bigot.
