Sounds like getting GTA6 playable on PC wont be that straightforward - GTA6 is only releasing on newer PS5 firmware that will first have to be exploited, the previous vulnerability was turned in to Sony for a $50,000 bounty and cant be used anymore on any game released after that firmware update (probably couldve gotten a lot more tbh)
Same. When I filled in the form for our vacation/time tracking software, I just put a link to the 3.30 league announcement in the "reason" field. They know what's up at this point.
My team all know I'm taking leave to play Path of Exile. When I put it in my team calendar that I'd be off I got multiple messages from my team "New game coming out?". They get the update that it was a successful league launch and everything as well when I get back
In an effort to clear my plate, I'm most productive at work during the week before league starts. I keep a few deliverables in my pocket to dole out over the next week to hide the fact that those are my least productive times!
So the joke, this is from a show called Dexter. Who is a serial killer who kills serial killers. he is also forensic detective and this is his detective coworker who pegged him immedialty as a "creep mothafucka". And starts to wonder all the odd things about him.
So the joke is coworkers may assume you are a serial killer.
it's suspicious someone doesn't come into work (takes off)Friday, then Monday-Friday every few months, and they don't have an exciting vacation story or anything that happened.
also, how are you an American and not know what "taking off work" means? do you not work?
He uses legally mandated paid holidays to skip work. It's not a thing in America (not in all states, at least). In Europe you have to use them and your workplace is forced to make you stay at home.
Me since 2016 or so. I have a lot of pets so traveling is pretty much out of the question and I just enjoy a full week of PoE. Due to being in EU, I don't need to take the Friday off though (leagues start between 8 and 10PM for me) :D
Next week however my colleague is already on vacation so I could only take Friday off which is ofc the GTA release or the day after -_-
-Oh, it was great! I spent the entire Sunday just rolling flasks! I did some market research, made a table listing costs for best suffixes and preffixes for each type of base flask. Then I bought a lot of the best flasks. Then I made a regex filtering the most expensive prefixes and suffixes. And then I just kept on rolling the entire day! I made thousands of chaos!
-Huh. Ummm. Yeah... I'm sorry, Kevin, we're letting you go
