Ok but I have to know if Hayley Williams “Showbiz” is going to be available on streaming platforms or if it’s time for me to finally get really weird about owning vinyl.

Recently my employer told me I would not be moving to full-time, which means I am also not making the corresponding full-time salary.
I’m back on the job hunt - specifically work in games that is remote Canada (Saskatchewan) eligible. Either event management & production or game production.

There’s a group of older (white haired) folks at the table next to me and they’ve ordered a round of mimosas. One of them just said to the other “we should count how many drinks we have on this trip” and they all laughed. Gleeful.

Being in your late 30s is sitting alone in a restaurant and realizing that at no point did you feel self conscious about eating at a restaurant alone.

I think what really pisses me off is you can say things like "Microsoft has laid off 9000 employees" and be technically correct
However, it's a lot more accurate to say "Phil Spencer is personally responsible for taking food out of the mouths of 9000 people and their immediate families."

I have basically given up finding a job in games at this point. I am working outside of games, making half of what I made working in games, doing a thing that fits my skill set but is not nearly as fulfilling as games and I assume I will just be doing this for a long long while.

Remember as you are watching your friends and colleagues get unceremoniously laid off today that last year Microsoft posted a 17% increase in profits in 2024 to $171 BILLION dollars. They do not now or ever need to lay off a single person.
