  • it’s not my job so why am I doing it?

    I never get this take. Like, back in the day it also wasn’t my job to pack the groceries into a cart and haul them to the cashier. You entered a store, like a lot of pharmacies still work today, there was a clerk behind a desk and you told them “I’d like three ounces of flour, 4 eggs and a litre of milk”, they fetched it for you. So, where are the complaints that walking through a big store “is not my job”?

    Everybody is like “no, a store is juuust right, when it works like in my childhood. Everything else is against the order of the world!”

    I completely understand all the other, technical, cultural, issues one can have with a self-checkout, but this “not my job” attitude weirds me out, somehow.





  • Would be two lists for me. One for “best”, as in they were great, gave me joy or strong emotional responses, but their replay value is not great:

    1. Enderal
    2. Ocarina of Time
    3. Death Stranding
    4. Horizon: Zero Dawn
    5. The Witcher 3

    “Best” as in can’t get enough of it and would take to a remote island:

    1. Factorio
    2. Kerbal Space Program
    3. Civ V
    4. Oxygen Not Included
    5. Valheim
