That sounds right. I used to buy a ton even before the rebranding. Looking now, they have a bundle that has Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (currently $30 on Steam) for $20 with 32 other games, most notably Devil May Cry 4, which is still more expensive on Steam than the bundle. Crazy.

Fanatical, or whatever they used to be called had rediculous bundles and is the reason why have have almost 1000 games on my account. There were times that I would be interested in one game, and it was cheaper to buy the bundle from them than the one game on it's own from Steam.

I upgraded to the OLED model when it came out. The screen looks much nicer, has a faster refresh and longer battery life. I definitely recommend it over the original, but it is a steep price when you already have one that works fine.

Yeah, I have to wrap up what I'm working on so that I can be available for the "quick meeting" which usually means I'm doing nothing for 15-20 minutes as I can't get started on anything else. If I'm caught not doing well, I get in trouble for the productivity, so I have to pretend.

When the 5-10 minute meeting runs closer to 45, I'm out an hour I could have been working.

Not the end of the world, but when we have these at least once, if not twice a day...

When a company reaches a certain size their expected to have certain things just because other successful companies have them.

If the fired the team that writes, publishes, and distributes the company newsletter where I work, no one who does any real work would notice or care. The fact that we have a newsletter makes our company seem more big and successful to investors though.

These incessant, full-screen upgrade ads, with no way of canceling other than a small "Remind me later" tucked away in the corner, where the final straw from me switching to Linux.

"2 real friends"?

I've been at 0 real friends for so long that even the thought of socializing with anyone stresses me out.
