I don’t know about your work, but at my job, there are a few things that I’ve told my boss that I’m simply bad at or don’t feel confident in doing. Sometimes being bold and honest can work in your favor. Doesn’t apply to all situations though.

My Name is Earl is one of my favorites. It just has so much feel-good to it.

You can try a spiritual recreation of this in BeamNG.Drive. They call it the Widgeon.

Hey, fella
Bet you’re still livin’ in your parents cella
Downloadin’ pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin’ “Me too!” like some braindead AOLer
I should do the world a favor
And cap you like Old Yeller.
You’re about as useless as JPEGs to Hellen Keller

But that’s just it. Whether you’re a gamer killing time at home or a monk in a cave at the top of a mountain meditating, or a frontline Red Cross Volunteer or a treacherous villain, ultimately, if you’re not actively hurting others, you are the only standard you have to measure yourself by.

Who’s to say what you’re supposed to make? If you’re supposed to make. We’re all just animals at the end of the day.

You might try looking into Taoism. 365 Tao is how I got started, meant to be read one page a day. It’s what redirected my energy. It teaches that the ultimate state of being should feel effortless and that there is a path within that will comfortably guide you to happiness and it’s all about finding that path for yourself.

The less you use the world as a measuring stick for yourself, the less you will feel like you don’t measure up.

Patrick doesn’t like the taste of cold lightbulbs.

We’ve been taught that we need to use all our potential but if you don’t gain from it, even spiritually, I truly don’t see the point.

Do what makes you happy as long as others don’t get hurt. For a lot of people, that conveniently happens to involve helping others. If that isn’t yours, then just keep looking until you find it.

You are the only one in control of what you deem “realized potential”.

I’m lucky enough to be in this position and getting to squarely tell people they’re wrong on a regular basis without masking is incredibly freeing.

HL1 is a great game, but not essential for enjoying 2.

Some that come to mind:

• Half Life 1/2
• L4D 1/2
• Portal (1 for sure, 2 maybe?)
• The Stanley Parable
• Ultrakill
• Super Hexagon (depending on your TV’s latency…)
• Mirrors Edge (maybe)
• Doom (maybe)
• Almost any 2D game

The Stream Controller is $100. Considering the quality is on-par with the PS/Xbone controllers at $70-80 and has the extra features, I doubt you’ll find one cheaper. I’m pretty sure it’s the first of its kind with trackpads as well.

I’ll throw pointlesssites.com in the ring.

Oh my god I forgot that site existed.

My friend is a ring leader for these types of guys. He knows like 15 guys with a truck and at least another 30 with arms. He’s able to get a lot of projects done around the neighborhood.

This was how we played growing up. We knew it wasn’t official, but knew it was more fun.

I can’t find the old meme of the “No Cellphone/Alcohol/Food/Smoking” sign where the guy is doing all four at once. I gave up after 10 minutes.

Isn’t this just an episode of My Life as a Teenage Robot?

Bambu is working hard to make the bottom panel a reality for 3d printers as well. Their closed-door approach is the main reason I won’t touch them.
