1) Yeah sucks. Is survivable. I'm considering a shift in industry just because I know of a path that would be comfortable and would give me time/spare cash to be a force for good outside of direct participation in medicine.

2) lil coined it, Robust Pleasure Source. She's doing exactly what you described, and she's making the job hunt less lonely because she's spending some number of hours/day doing the same thing because fuck (Insert corporate sandwich chain here).

3) I'm going to be playing on PC because I can't justify buying a console. SOOPER excited though because Bungie decided to put the lore IN THE GAME. WHAT A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA BUNGIE.

I didn't coin it. I posted complaining that my bf called me his single-apostrophes girlfirend. People chimed in with terms used in their countries. I forget who exactly, maybe Devac or ThatFanficGuy someone had an expression in his country that translated to mean robust pleasure source. Great acronym!

Beg pardon.

Actually you're right. It looks like I coined it. Thanks Devac.

Dude I would get a console just to avoid the fuckin' PC contagion. At least the 12 year olds I end up playing with aren't toxic AF.

As to Bungie and its lore, there was a bit of a long road.

    PC contagion.

Doesn't stress me. Though I do understand the drive away from 'adult' gaming.

Yeah that was a sad story. Bungie knows sci-fi and it's a shame to see them get neutered that way.

Halo suffered dramatically when they left. What was once my favorite sci-fi universe became awful science-fantasy.
