Shacknews LoL

Proud to announce I’ll soon be joining 2K Games Las Vegas as a QA Lead! Thanks to everyone here in the Take Two family who SMed me a couple of days ago when I was considering the offer. The insight I got from that was very helpful with making my deification!

However I will be making a 2700 mile move at the end of June to go from the Boston area to Vegas which should be an interesting experience hahah!

Been going through some shitty stuff and even had to get a part time labor job to help pay the bills, de stress(so My eye issues doesn’t come back) and keep My game dev alive. So yes, My project is still active and Corpses ‘N Souls will be released in the future.

My main reason I have not been around is that I have had to deal with some medical issues(again) and a local political shit storm with our Mayor and municipality. The good news is that stuff seems to have been solved(it’s been a nightmare) and We have won the case(so I can sleep again). On top of that I have had to deal with some crazy depression and found My self gone full on Dark Side and it has been really hard to get out of that due to a bunch of stuff that has been happening. Just think of Me on a good day at Shack when I am fully juiced and then flip that to a extreme negative, angry and full on mad Man evil(it’s hard core and no one should see Me like that).

With that said I have been in the shits and had no energy to make others feel good(been in a full shutdown state) and did not want to make others feel bad with My burdens since I know everyone is dealing with their own shit and the whole COVID and other world shit. Basically, I just isolated Myself till I recovered. The last months have been the perfect storm but it is clearing up now.

My work has kept me alive, sane and it has been going really well and My part time job even allowed Me to make an upgrade to My comp. I hope to be back next week and maybe even for a bit on the weekend and hope I can hang out again, talk about video games and tech and provide some massive video game juicing + positivity to get everyone’s mojo at 1000.

Anyways We will have to all catch up I just wanted to say Hi and let those that where concerned know that I am alive. Some short comments:

Biden to ban special bonuses for appointees, expand lobbying prohibitions in new ethics rules

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-ethics-administration/2021/01/18/56a9a97a-59bd-11eb-a976-bad6431e03e2_story.html

The biggest shift is the new rule that will ban incoming officials from receiving compensation from their previous employer for taking a government job, a practice that has been a flash point for government reform advocates and Sen. Elizabeth Warren
...
For departing administration employees, the Biden rules create a prohibition on lobbying the administration for at least the length of Biden’s term and add a one-year restriction on assisting lobbying efforts.

That is an effort to crack down on lucrative “shadow lobbying” jobs, in which former officials go to work at law firms to help guide lobbyists without making contact with government officials themselves.

This is like the Anti-Trump, except instead of waking up each day to a fresh new hell, the president is actually doing reasonable/good things? This is going to take some getting used to.

Oh yeah

Update
Good news. Mrscords surgery went well. Looks like any cancer that was there was removed.
She’ll have to have radio therapy in the next few months just to be safe.

I’ve been kept busy and on my toes with cooking and cleaning and looking after her. The kids have been amazing. My daughter took over the clothes washing and has just kept at it without having to be asked/told. My son has been just as good helping out as well

As much as this whole thing has sucked I’m glad we live where we do as so far all up it’s only cost $7k all up. I would hate to think what it would have cost if we weren’t in Australia.

Going to be some tight times ahead and the NAS repair is on indefinite hold as I just don’t have the funds nor time to fix that thing. I just hope that if/when I can get to it that we don’t lose any data which we shouldn’t but we won’t know until we know.

Im back to work from Monday but still WFH until at least end of jan as the kids are on Xmas holidays until feb 2

I hope you all had a great new year Nd are all staying safe. Staying sane and staying well

"I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.

Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.

We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath."
