My manager will tell me, seven hours into my eight hour shift, that my job was supposed to take an hour
I think he might be bullshitting because I've been told he's an ass, but I know I'm pretty bad at it regardless
But also, like, why can't you convey any of this early on? If I had *known* that it was supposed to be considerably quicker I would've tried a lot harder.
Calvinball is a nomic or self-modifying game, a contest of wits and creativity rather than stamina or athletic skill, in which Hobbes (and on one occasion, Rosalyn) usually outwits Calvin, who takes it in stride, in contrast to his otherwise poor sportsmanship.

I mean, seriously, it's boring to just be able to say oh you can twitch-aim the fastest of everyone on the server of a multiplayer FPS, but then it's no fun for anyone else. Okay, you're the best, got it, moving on. It's boring.
For it to be fun, I, a person who sucks at twitch aiming, has to be able to have a fighting chance against you. So I would want a playstyle that suits me, and is balanced against your preferred playstyle.

I think it speaks to the general difficulty of playing heavy in TF2 that I'm more likely to go sniper than heavy.
I once hung out on a TF2 sniper server, yet I'm still no good at sniper.
To be honest, sniper servers have very different gameplay from regular servers.
But in any case, I main heavy. and medic.
I don't know when I got good at heavy. I don't know how, either, to be honest. All I know is that one day I started noticing that I had the ability to top leaderboards as heavy. Sometimes.
It's not a difficult class, but your effectiveness depends more on your team than you. And considering how pub servers can be just scouts, spies and snipers sometimes...

Yeah...if my team has two scouts, three spies, and four snipers, I switch to heavy. And berate the team. Maybe.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I don't like the four houses. I don't like how that one time it got me in trouble with my parents. I don't like that really embarrassing, self-congratulatory fan thing I saw once that will sit with me until I die. I don't like the aesthetics, and I don't like the dichotomy between magic and technology.
There are lots of things about the work that I can appreciate; grooming new performers, teaching good lessons to children, etc. But I cannot stand the text, nor the reactions to said text.

Which is incredible, because overnight stocking is literally the easiest thing.

Me as a kid: "Why can't all sports be like this?"

Something like that.

Just for fun.
i'm always a bit more defensive of Harry Potter than is probably reasonable, so i'll leave it at that.
