Ratatat
Fired off three job things today. Two of them sound like good fits, one especially so. It involves another Big Name Perl Dood, and I totally name-checked Boston.pm people in my email to him. I'm hopeful I'll hear something back.
Client is doing the dance of joy about the work I put in yesterday. Great, super. But now my plate is empty again. I need more clients.
When it was time to do some Volity work tonight, I instead chose to let off a lot of steam in Resident Evil 4, which I haven't played in a couple of weeks. Advanced two chapters in about three hours of play.
Happily ignoring the advice in the two non-spoiler strategy GameFAQs docs I read about weapons choices. Everyone hates the machine gun! I think they're full of it. The machine gun is hella fun. You can even kill some bosses with it, once you get good. Poopy on you, silly min-maxer GameFAQ kiddies.
Speaking of killing bosses with machine guns, Someone close to me is getting shafted hard by their job, he said vaguely but meaningfully. Multiple parties are upset at this. I look forward to seeing how it falls out. (And participating in this, to the degree that I can.)

The min-maxers are also big fans of the "Red 9" pistol, which is slow as hell and takes up about 20 inventory slots but has the biggest numbers in its damage column and therefore it is clearly the best. I powerbarf upon them.
One of the FAQ writers also advised never buying first aid spray, instead just replaying the same scenes over and over until you can do them without getting hurt. Pfui!
(I do replay scenes sometimes, but only when I clearly missed a big fat opportunity. Not to wankily max my stats.)

I am astounded that GameFAQs still doesn't have a rating system for their FAQs. I would give all those guys a thumbs-down.
