It's crazy to think how not long ago interracial marriage became legal. 

See, I got used to balancing a budget fairly quickly and we actually were taught how to balance a check book in my 8th grade class (though I quickly forgot that skill and it isn't really relevant to me now, since I use plastic and online banking for everything). It's the job search I feel gets turned on hard mode every time. 

I was really thinking this time would be easier and faster because I have a Master's, two and a half years teaching experience, managerial experience, customer service experience, experience in my field, etc. all on my resume. I've been to several different career services type places and such, had promising interviews, and in six months I've found some part time gig where I barely make 10 hours each week (because I'm really good at it and can do it quickly, but still). It's like I prepared for the end boss in one game and got thrown into a Ninja Gaiden x Bloodborne crossover at the last minute. lol

I don't know if you read that "Hidden Tribes" study, but it basically said that the far left and far right are the most active groups on social media if my memory is correct, so I think Facebook and Twitter are bad places to go to avoid politics. At least Facebook has good unfollow and hide post options, which I use. Twitter on the other hand just kinda stays annoying ... 

Mike Fallek, the guest on this podcast, pointed out that school already is somewhat gameified. You've got scores with GPA, levels with 4th, 5th, 6th grades and so on, etc. 

I'm not sure how I'd fare in that future. Considering how I do in online contests, I could definitely see myself still on the lower end of the wage gap. Probably lower on the scale if anything really. 

Once again, all I can think about is how I wish real life was more like this game for me. I could use a castle. 

Hahaha if the mood strikes you. To give this SOME context, it was all about "gameifying education."

Indeed.

Yeah, I work Thurs-Sun, so my schedule is pretty weird as well. Granted, if I really wanted, I could hash everything out on Thursday, but I don't feel like it. 

I guess my brain makes things rhyme automatically, cause I saw Forza Horizon 4, but Forizon 4 is what shot in my head for some reason. 

Man, I wish you could earn money in real life as quickly and easily as in video games. I mean, in this case, you literally could if you had those kind of cars to sell, but I mean for a normal person. 

Could not agree more with NES Metroid being garbage in the modern day. Could not disagree more with slowing down in Mega Man games. I've pointed this out to people before, but I usually do much better in those games when I keep a certain ryhtm. That rythm isn't speed runner fast, but it's definitely not me thinking about my jumps much. Having said that, I've always beaten every Robot Master but never beaten a Wily Castle. Maybe I'd change my tune for the castle levels. I've just never felt like doing them for whatever reason.

I'm on Julian's side when it comes to quittin'. Most things in life just ain't worth doin'. Quit, Julian! For everlasting peace! 

I need physical game rental stores to come back ... GameFly is a good service ... when you get the game you actually want and not your 7th pick all the time. That's all I can think of with this talk of buying games. 

The PlayStation Classic library feels like a joke from trolls flooding any online polls where Sony asked what should be on it. 

Yeah, I bought SNES Classic because I wasn't the one who owned the Super Nintendo back in the day, don't own current consoles where I could access those games, don't really feel like the hassle of doing things legitimately retro by buying separate cartridges, and that would have been my reason for picking up a PlayStation classic as well, were the library decent. 

Is the Super Meat Boy guy game a remake of Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em on Atari? I remember reading about that one in an EGM special cover story about graphically sexual games. I think maybe Seanbaby wrote it?

Yu-Gi Oh is great and anyone saying otherwise is a terrorist. I'm not going to staranus.com specifically because I heard that bullshit opinion. I'll be back with my AMA questions, assuming I'm in a good enough mood after hearing that garbage.
