  • As you should be!

    After quite a long while working with someone to this capacity, it would be strange not to be on first name basis, but I haven’t worked with you.

    I’ve been on the internet for a very long time, and it takes quite a bit of rapport to build before I’m comfortable giving out my first name, let alone my full name.

    I definitely understand where you’re coming from, just a stretch at the start for me personally.

    Really love the admin team though!









  • Sys admin here for quite some time.

    This is pretty typical in our field I’ve found, because that’s what it takes to move up in this field.

    Non-CS just believe the “oh you work with computers? So you must know how to hack Facebook” logic, so they have to either say they don’t know how and look stupid, or just rattle off some absolute bonkers shit that uses acronyms and such above the non-CSs head.

    This eventually bleeds into their reality and becomes a character trait.

    It’s more a human/culture problem than a CS problem but I get what you mean :)











  • Hi. System Admin millennial here.

    You would think that’s the case, but in my experience it’s not.

    Millenials were around during a major shift/evolution in general home computer use, so we’re much closer to understanding the “flow” of tech, even if it’s older. Gen-Z tries to think in smartphone or tablet mode.

    Younger Gen-Z are the same as a blue collar boomer: when the company I work for hires a Gen-Z employee, I spend a ton of time with them the first few weeks “fixing” their “broken” machines. Most of the Millenials that are hired can do the general troubleshooting themselves.

    I will agree with the music bit though.


  • This is the first cod I’ve skipped since Finest Hour released on ps2. I knew COD sucked. Every hardcore COD player knows it sucks.

    I guess it was running on nostalgic fumes. Warzone was only fun because of the lock downs, it really wasn’t that good either.

    MW2’s weird ass gameplay choices (red dots not showing on map when firing, perks not being available right away, garbage ass maps) was the last straw.

    Hoping Microsoft gets their shit together with the series in the future, but the series may finally be dead to me :/.
