    My niece was visiting one day and her mom said not to disturb me as I was still working. She had to wait till I was done working from home. About 10 minutes later her patience was done, so she ran into my home office and proudly proclaimed to the world: “It’s OK Mommy, he isn’t working, he’s just on his computer!”

    We could not stop laughing and I finished work with a kid on my lap.

    It is too soon after Christmas for me to be this attacked by reality. I love you Picard, you know I do, but fuck you.

      It’s not after Christmas at all! We’re only on day 4 of 12!

      The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth!

      I don’t know if that’s a good idea. It’s one of those stupid “always online” games so the only option is a cheat engine, but they have strict punishments for TOS violations. You can get banned into a cheaters-only server (unless you’re one of those pay-to-win assholes who never face any punishments)

    Quick story this reminded me of:

    When I was a kid I asked my mom to play solitaire regularly because I liked the victory animations. In hindsight it must have been a nice break

    The problem is the whole program is stacked against you and the AI opponent always wins.
