Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    I haven't gotten a bonus lately at my job (because government bonuses are a mountain of paperwork for bosses) but I have been getting loads of respect lately and got a glowing work review.

    I am appreciative but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit resentful because I am still having major issues of "You're doing this because I lost weight. I was just as valuable a year ago and you overlooked me like a hideous troll you FUCKS."

    GUUUUUUUUUYS

    SOMEONE CALLED ME OUT ON MY SHIT NOW I HAVE TO GROW AS A PERSON

    WHINE MOAN BITCH

    Don't grow too much, if you get any bigger you'll break your chair

    Edit: I don't mean this don't hate me

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    Dancing is fun. I am not the best but I can dance well enough to have others dance with me. I wish I remembered how to swing dance, I only have some basic movements still.

So I check my little mailbox at work and I find a pay slip in there. I bring it to my boss to see if he can explain what's going on.

    so i've realized i'm super cowardly as a person

    like my instinct is to run away when i'm uncomfortable or don't like something.

    it's why i break up with girls at the drop of a money hat.

    People will think this about you, yes. The snap judgments they make based on appearance alone can be advantageous or hurtful. It's up to you to game the system.

    If you are height / weight proportionate and know how to dress yourself, you could literally be President of the United States.

    No you know what? Fuck it all. Eddy, how would you like to be a write-in candidate in the GOP primary on May 29th? I caution you, you may only get one supporter.

    This happened to me and instead of a bonus they actually confused my billing rate with my pay rate, so they payed me what they charge our customers.

    Needless to say, they didn't let me keep it all. :(
