@DEATHGIGAS
They have it listed here: https://nexushub.co.za/product/control-resonant-pid285827.html

Just keep in mind that the physical edition was delayed from Remedy's side, so releases like a month after digital.

Ironic thing. There is going to be an album for GTA6. And it will be available on both CD and Vinyl.

So clearly it's about control for Sony and Rockstar, not wanting you to own games. But you can own a CD and Vinyl. Both are crappy companies. I really want to see Sony crash and burn so hard. But the way Sony is going, it might be sooner, rather than later.

The only way to play Civ 6!

Tried with Duex ex, but the FOV was way to distracting
Fun setup, but really only relevant to a few games and some work setups

High - Bacon, toast and tea for breakfast

Extra High - My customer has re-opened and people are coming back to work. Luckily I already integrated their remote solution with the in office solution so I don't need to do any additional changes from my side, once they log in or out the routing automatically updates and routes where it needs to. I'm glad things are gradually returning to normal after this over reaction to the virus but things need to get moving quicker.

Low - The idiot BMW drivers are back on the road

Low - Balls. My Xbox 360's disc drive may be on it's way out.
High - Replacement drives can be bought but require a fair amount of working on to replace as MS ID locked each drive to each Xbox 360, meaning you have to swop the drive boards between the old drive and the new drive or the console won't be able to use it.
Low 2 - Dem replacements can get pricey.

Low - Company took away 14 days of leave during lockdown and put us on a work roster system (one day on, one day off) but I had to work every day anyway, and have still lost my leave
Low 2 - I have a massive assignment due for Uni end of this month and now the company have stopped allowing study leave, so I can't take time off to work on it.
Low 3 - Company also cut our salaries and unlike every other employer, have not applied for the UIF TERS that we are legally entitled to.

@$$hats Think you guys may have to get together to demand that they apply for TERS... Cynic me says that they aren't up to date with their tax submissions (VAT, Income Tax, PAYE) and deductions like UIF...

You can always take the step of reporting suspicions to the DOL, extreme perhaps, but if the company is not paying over what they are supposed to, then there are bigger problems ahead.

I'm not gonna bother, this is not my forever job/career, and in a year from now I won't even remember this Bigger things ahead

It seems they haven't even applied so I'm attributing it to being very short-staffed

High - That moment when one of your heroes becomes your friend on LinkedIn

Prof Stuart Russell, AI expert and author of "Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control". He did a webinar the other night on this topic and it was FASCINATING.

@Snow - it's one hell of a journey but also one that you'll walk away from with a ton of skills (not that it always feels that way!).

That said, make damn sure you're on the same page as your institution and supervisors when you do, as getting through one when you've already got a family takes a lot of juggling and compromise.

@Snow - of course.

Between the birth of my daughter, lab events beyond my control, and now Covid-19, I'm aiming for N+1.5 at this point so it's been a little wilder than expected. However, definitely gained some analytical and writing skills that - I hope - should have me set for more lab work here and potentially abroad.

Low - Still no TERS money this month yet, but HR has said it should be here next week.

High - Getting a TV once it comes through

Extra High - Managed to get another Artgerm cover for my collection and found a local presser that I can use before CGC submissions.

Extra Extra High - Got a few spec books on Miles Morales for cover price which are now selling for crazy amounts. Always great when you spend R40 on something only for it's value to hit the R2-3k mark. Makes it easier for the hobby to fund itself.

Personal low: Last night I had a relapse with... a certain online explicit video platform, which has left me feeling like a zombie today. Breaking the cycle is so damn difficult, you guys. Hadn't watched in two months, which is huge for me, and right as I felt great I had a moment of weakness. Maybe it's because my emotions are being repaired by the lack of said videos, and I need to relearn how to deal with them.

Oh well. Another day, another chance to be better, I guess.
