You take a step forward and delight in the flustered Dean taking a step back. Nervous, isn't he? "The robes in which Campbell was found. Describe them, please."
A look of genuine fear flashes over the Dean's face before he recovers himself well enough to lie. "I've never seen anything like them before, I assure you. Campbell was not a religious man, especially, certainly the University itself does not countenance any ... esoteric ceremonies on its property."
You wonder if the Dean himself ever dons such robes. Still, Campbell was doing something in his office, hardly big enough for a ceremony involving more than himself and, perhaps, a helper.
"He was wearing a somewhat garish symbol when he was found, on a necklace." The Dean reaches into his suit pocket and withdraws a photograph. You cast your eyes over the image of a grotesque shape, all writhing coils and sharp teeth. "Ghastly thing," murmurs the Dean. Note that you have a photo of a strange symbol on your character sheet.
You pluck the photograph from his fingers and study it intently. After a minute the Dean coughs again, and you look up, giving him your widest smile. "I'm sorry, Dean. I forgot you were there. You may go now. I'll call on you if you're needed, or if I have further questions."
Outrage vies with a desire to be gone from this ghoulish location, but not for long. The Dean leaves, muttering oaths about shameless women these days, leaving you with the photo.
I look at that and the base stuff like an actual salary, insurance, and stuff are good ideas.
The payout money thing is a lot but then I look at TI champs.
Some of the folks in recent TIs who won the players got a few million each. Like most of Na'Vi are full on multimillionaires by the time they were in their early 20's.
The base salary/bennies is probably way better for the scene, especially for international players (if it applies to them equally) than huge prize money. Though huge dota prize money is still amazing.

huh
so I mentioned to my boss that our Michigan office was somewhat disrespectful of my time last week
he tells me, yeah that's a known problem with that PM
and then says go ahead and fire back at him a bit if you want, just don't say that he said I could do it
and now I'm wondering what to do

And this is season 1. If it takes off the pools will increase.

Turning it into an actual job plus the forced savings account so they have stuff after they retire is a great idea to not completely fuck some of these kids.
Path of exile is fun but weird, I'm sure I gimped myself already. I do like molten strike? I like hit and a bunch of fire balls fall out. I do wish I could change my base clothes though, my duelist lacks serious style.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Yeah, I just get massive analysis paralysis from that game.
I just end up finding some skill that is fun to use and then google a build that uses that.
Really I know blizzard has gotten flack for some of the cost for their pro-esports shit but let's look at this:
1)Players get a salary like real players not treated like they are some sort of property. This is a huge thing.
2)One of their most successful tournaments leads to Blizz paying for the team's college. Like we know this is a game and some folks make it but seriously bros we are going to help secure your future here.

The game is very complicated Preach. Here are some quick tips for you.
*Watch some beginner videos on skill linking and general poe nub vids.
*Dont get too attached to that character. But play him until you hit a wall and then try to figure out where in the tree and with the gems it went wrong.
*Consider picking out a build from the official forums. Make sure it is one that says budget and is well written. Some are barebones builds but the good ones will describe everything about the build. Use these to learn interactions (make sure they say 3.0 though).
*Dont try to use more than 1 or two actual damaging abilities. Supplement the one or two with totems, curses etc.
Have fun its a deep game. More than just set it and forget it like diablo.

If you can't fall back on "the boss said it's ok" don't do it.
I mean I don't think he was suggesting I go scorched earth or anything.
Also, it occurred to me that we haven’t had any further discussion regarding the Memo. I assume it’s been submitted to MDOT by now. Do you anticipate any comments or further requests for work coming? Please let me know as I have some vacation coming up and am trying to plan my time as well as I can to avoid any additional long days the night before a vacation. At the very least, we should have a discussion about why we think the ½” doubler plate results in an increase in the gusset plate stresses.
gentle enough?

Hmm I'm already using like five skills.... Oh well I'm going until it isn't fun.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Also one thing I was thinking that Blizzard could also help enforce is that winnings are placed into a trust for the kids who win it.
You get the money. It goes into a trust. At the age of 25 you have access. Till then you receive a monthly stipend from trust on top of your salary. No one else can touch the trust either.

That is fine to learn what they do and what you like. It took me awhile to get past the drought of my builds failing over and over again in the game and to play it as a main-ish game.
What put me over the hump was to find a skill I like and to find a build someone already did that looked fun and learn the bits and pieces of it all as I went along. Like Echo said.
I think I might be bad at being nice and comforting to people. I should probably just revert back to having a frozen heart and then I can move back into my ice tower and then I can have metal claws and stuff

Yeah I'm sure that's where I'll go eventually. I already find myself not using a lot of things, but there's not harm in leveling up the gems when I don't have other gems to put in I wouldn't think. Eventually I'll probably drill down on some skills and use those. I would love to work some kind of dual wielding riposte build since I went duelist.

I know LoL is technically bigger but I am pretty sure DoTA2's payouts are way bigger.
Also when you realize that the 20 million total prize pool is like 1/4 of the stuff sold by Valve, Valve made god damn fucking bank.
She was headed out to the field and told by her Hazops manager that she can't go out in the field if she's pregnant, it's not considered safe.
A: She is not pregnant and there is no reason to suspect she is.
B: The hazops manager is her boyfriend's ex-wife.
imagine not having any kind of context for that money.

Hmm, he's doing this in Processing apparently. I should dabble some more with that.
actually playing games for subsistence or barter is probably older than money

Max Verstappen started driving in Formula 1 at 17. He's 19 now (Mayyyybe 20? I think still 19) and is one of the hottest drivers in the sport.
I can't imagine what his life must be like. He's basically a rock star in the sport and he's still a teenager.
EDIT: Keep in mind that F1 is the premiere worldwide racing league. The elite of the elite.
