I love him

@TeaCatherine So in short, shirtless dudes win lmao!

@Zuljaras Oh my goodness! I love him so much! I love the movie! And I love this just as! Dang your talented!

@Eel @Snatcher Thank you both so much! It never gets old to hear good things about my creations!

@Zuljaras You deserve it! I mean look at him! He really looks like him! He looks really good! Really you should feel proud!

@Snatcher Wherever did you get that idea from?

I currently am in charge of the metrology labs (measurement labs) at my company, and oversee 3 labs, 2 in Wisconsin, 1 in Indiana. Been there 12 yrs, wasn't looking for another job.

But these recruiters are relentless. They keep contacting me trying to set up interviews. So I finally did. And today I was offered a position as Metrology Engineer as a salaried employee, at a notable increase over what I make now. 4 weeks paid vacation, 3 days paid sick time with a $2k sign on bonus.

Wasn't originally planning on taking this other job. Was just gonna use it as leverage to get a raise at my current one. But... I think I'm gonna accept the offer. Been working toward being a Metrology Engineer for many year. And as someone who never got a college degree, it's a pretty amazing opportunity.

I know nobody really cares (Im just some stranger on the internet), but I'm excited and it just felt good to say it.

@JaxonH Nah bro, if your happy! I’m happy for you as well!

@TeaCatherine definitely not him mentioning it for the 100th time, definitely not.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Am I just a bad person if the first Xenoblad game I want to to try is the one with the Wifu’s? I’m going to try and get into the series, and honestly ai would like to do that with a game I enjoy visually, and character wise, I know you should play them in order, but the first Xenoblad game design wise, world wise, doesn’t look nearly as fun as 2 for me, and the last thing I would want to do is feel like I have to rush through to just to beat 1.

So I think I’m going to get two, and I end up liking it, I’m going to get one, then three, I know the order is wack, but I just want to play the one I personally think looks more enjoyable to me.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika he waited his turn and didn't raise his voice, a "nice protester".

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika more people are talking about him than the awards, which is what he wanted. Kinda like those soup painting throwers people forgot about.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Kojima would send that kid to the 6th dimension

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika The Kojima slap

Saw this in my hometown Rotterdam

Good evening.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Kojima would rip off his shirt revealing he is Solid Snake!!! and then reveal MGS 6!!!

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!

@Snatcher
Happiness... it's contagious!

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
No weekends... ever

So ya, definitely more time to game (though to be fair, when I do work weekends I always bring my Switch and game out for most of it, since there's so little to do on weekends).

BTW, you're dead on with that comparison about petting cats. Loved seeing you go off on that cause it's exactly what many of us wanted to say 😀

@reporterdavid Wow and this early too

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I think ai can get through a dough opening, I rather that then Starting a series with a game I have less interest in. I just don’t want to feel like I’m rushing it to get to two you know?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
Could you stop convincing me about xenoblade games?
Remember the other reason I will not pick those games?
According to ESRB descriptor.
Xenoblade 1 : blood, use of alcohol and tobacco, partial nudity, violence, mild language
Xenoblade 2 : language, use of alcohol and tobacco, suggestive themes, violence
Xenoblade 3 : language, mild blood, suggestive themes, violence
Xenoblade Chronicles X : Animated Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol, Violence

The contents I give bold are the things that I do not want to deal from video games. Added with other things I found such as the storyline theme, the character design, the gameplay system, etc I didn't even think those ideas clicked on me. Even there are the shirtless dudes over there from swimsuit outfits, it still didn't convince me at all.

I have ever bought xenoblade 2 in December 2017 but I only played for several minutes at the beginning part and I didn't even feel clicked with the game. Added with the waifus in xenoblade 2 that made me really uncomfortable to play the game, I stopped playing since then and I sold the game with BOTW in October 2021 since I don't want any xenoblade & zelda stuffs in my gaming place.
And I thought to myself I bought very wrong games to play before. Glad I have removed them from my gaming place.

Do I miss the games ? Yes
Do I regret to miss those games ? No
I will be happier for not playing those xenoblade and zelda games.
There are a lot of kiddie games like Paw Patrol, Race with Ryan, Cooking Mama, Barbie, etc that I like to play better than the games I have zero interest about. I would rather play those mediocre kiddie games over than xenoblade or zelda games since my natural preference is for cute looking stuffs.

Anyway, I have The Sims 4 on PS4 with tons of muscular dudes I created by myself to satisfy my guilty pleasure, so I already covered from this game.

@reporterdavid
Is that Mario movie Happy Meal toys from McDonald ?
