I have a very specific skill set so my experience may not apply, but I've had the best results going through technical head hunters.

Tempt to perm positions lasting six months to a year, then they decide if they want to hire you.

Yes spam away, it's not like your credit score is getting dinged each time you send one.

My only caution to this approach is that you want to be sure to research the company before any interview, don't show up and be like "Well, ya'll were the only one of the 500 I sent out to reply, what do you do?"

I went through the No Mans Sky turn around, and ended up loving the game. I always thought Cyberpunk would rock, given the team behind it.

You've convinced me that it's my next big play through.

I've bounced off this game twice, the early PS4 disaster and another attempt admittedly before all the fixes.

I have a PS5 now, so maybe it's finally time to give it another try

I have no idea why this is posted in science, but it made me smile.

I started playing bass guitar on Rocksmith about 5 years ago. I'm in the top ten on most songs on the medium difficulty, and have almost 1000 hours in the game.

I've never actually played bass in front of anyone other than my ex, and I've never really tried to play without the game.

At first I thought I wanted to get good enough to join a band, or at least play along with my family, all musicians, when they get together, but it turns out I just really enjoy spending a Friday night with a half pint of whiskey and jamming alone with headphones.

This was used to great effect in UHF with Weird Al.

You obviously didn't read my earlier response, stating that all this is the reason I bought a second, quiet motorcycle for early morning rides to work etc.

The beast only comes out for long trips, and for that I prep it the day before and park it in the street.

I'm not an asshole, I'm just a guy who has a loud bike.

As far as why not rev while riding, the RPM required for slow technical control, me getting off the patio, across the yard, and through the fence, on the Harley is way too precise to try and also manage blipping the engine to keep it running.

As far as oil and tuning, it has the right oil, and it has a custom ECU that handles all the tuning automatically based on how I ride.

One of the mufflers did fall off a few years ago, and to maintain symmetry I removed the other one.

Maybe that's why the bike is loud as fuck

When YouTube flips to a loud ad and I'm too slow to the mute button, I for sure tell the TV to fuck off and give it the finger.

For sure a few times a week.

$300 something for the system, $60 for the game, not sure how much a pair of pro controllers cost, but I walked out spending close enough to $500 for the point to stand.

US dollars, don't remember what year I bought it. I'm guessing around 2018, it was shortly after breath of the wild released.

Something around that, I don't remember exactly
