  • Yeah, it was a very wasteful system. As in wasting both my time and that of tax payers.

    I didn’t care that I was technically entitled for unemployment money. After the first three locations that I’ve gotten offered, including sitting through a job seminar that quasi-turned into a car-wash operator course, where I was surrounded by folks that were really eager to take that job offer, I’ve declined further appointments at the youth job centre and sought out IT employers by myself.


  • Maybe this is too communist for some people, but it would be nice if some government body just matched me with a job that matched my skillset and education

    I actually used government services, while unemployed, back in the early 2000s, but they were very miss. All they seemed to be focusing on was you hitting a quota of seeking out employers that they have listed for you, regardless of what you claimed to be as your profession or qualifications. Just so you can stay on the dole.






  • Laser Squad, playing couch hot-seat is what sent me down this path.

    I really liked Jagged Alliance 2, Afterlight and especially X-COM: Apocalypse. Apocalypse had such radical departures from the first two Ufo titles, which did not make it very well liked among enthusiasts, in particular the real-time battle mode. But the game had such fun mechanics and steep difficulty curve, I really enjoyed the challenge of it, as opposed to getting another Enemy Unknown clone that was TFTD.






  • I don’t understand your argument. 100% of my library works under Linux. In fact based on protondb’s ratings, half of them don’t even require me to do anything (this is excluding titles that run native on Linux):

    For the half that requires “tinkering” it literally means adding one well documented argument to the command line to make it run smoothly.

    The benefits of Linux far outweigh the cons of having to suffer the shitshow that is windows.
