onlooker

I hate talking about work. I also listening about work. I don't exactly enjoy my job, so I try not to waste my free time thinking about work, talking about work or, heaven forbid, doing something for work. However, my friends talk about their jobs all the time and it's painful to listen to.

I told them as much, but the topic keeps popping up. I'm just not that invested in the specifics and minutia of their workday. I either lack the knowledge to understand their work process or, more often than not, just don't care. That is, unless something bad happened and they want to vent, I'm okay with that. But I still get looks, as if I should be interested about their job. Which, I'm sorry, I'm just not.

Am I being unreasonable in trying to steer the conversation into a topic that isn't work-related?

This is probably not a meme, so apologies for that. I do find it funny, though.

Here's what the cookie selection window looks like:

Post was not made by me, by the way. I didn't leave (or join) PINE64, it's just the title of the article.

Because according to this they must now reveal user details.

So I recently got this board game. It's sort of, kind of like Magic: the Gathering. You play as a so-called Phoenixborn and you have a set number of hit points. When they reach zero, you lose. There's a bit more to it than that, but that's the gist of it. Alas, it's kind of hard to get a match going with my friends.

Then I came across this neat webpage dedicated to the game. It is:

https://ashes.live/

What I find neat about this page is that it links to not one, not two, but THREE resources where you can practice playing!

• Option 1 (free): Ashteki. Play against a human
• Option 2 (free): Felt Table. Play against an AI (what I mostly use)
• Option 3: Ashes Reborn for Tabletop Simulator. The mod is free, but like the name implies, you need to own Tabletop Simulator on Steam first.

As for the rules, they're near the bottom of the page at the Files section. There are also other resources like youtube tutorials and premade decks and stuff. Anyway, just thought I'd share.

This is hilarious. Blizzard created Diablo Immortal with the express purpose of getting their foot into the Chinese market. Then some genius at Blizzard had the brilliant idea to make a post on Weibou (a social network in China) to make fun of Xi Jinping:

Welp, there goes that Tencent money. Couldn't have happened to a nicer company, too.
