I did a business

2nd time in a row I've gone to the Jersey Mike's by my house specifically for a cheese steak and had their grill be busted. Last time I got a cold sandwich but just walked out this time. It's not FAR but it's annoying enough to get to that I was too mad to risk poop lettuce.

This is 10000000% truth. Even computer science/engineering degrees do a terrible job at teaching you how to be a software developer. There need to be way more course work on debugging and adding system features to established code bases.

The idea that there's an easy abundance of free resources to learn to code is laughable once you've done what I've done and been a VP of research at a company that helped thousands of people break into tech careers. There's an abundance of *beginner tutorials*

There are many good answers to this but the most correct is Ultima. This series absolutely dominated the early evolution of RPGs directly into MMOs with Ultima Online and then just... vanished. EverQuest wounded UO and then WoW delivered the killing blow, and the series vanished.

what's everyone else's fab examples of once massively popular and influential landmark titles in especially western games from back in the day that have just been forgotten and abandoned completely now. mine is black and white

Hopefully cutting the grass in AQI 97 weather didn't take too many years off my life, but it didn't seem to be getting any better any time soon and the grass needed to be cut.

Part of the indignity of this current era is how stupid it all sounds. Going forward, for benefits information I will need to go to something called BenXpress which sounds like a reboot of a second rate superhero cartoon.
