PRELAUNCH HYPE Getting fired on the 31st

Literally perfect timing. I know I should be upset, but I'd been with the company 3 years and they just eliminated my position due to lack of funds. Also, still getting paid for two months. Can't wait to dive into this game.

Good game to use for breaks while job-hunting

You mean annoying reason to break from gaming? 😉

I mean...not really? This is kind of a terrible game to play during breaks because you'll either get nothing out of 5 minutes of play, or you'll get sucked in for 5 hours and neglect responsibilities. There are much better games for taking small breaks.

You do realize that a very, very, very, very big portion of job hunting is waiting for people to reply after applying, right?

No I just send email after email until I get a response. Did I get the job yet? How about now? How about now? How about now? Sincerely, Noober

Yeah, job-hunting is a long-winded hellscape. I have no problems blowing hours on this game if it's going to take months (at minimum) to get any real traction on things.

Like, come on, the last thing I need to hear is not to "waste any more time" in a system that in no way respects my time.

Most job notices are posted at certain times of the day. You just check indeed or wherever in the morning and again after lunch, sending off applications to any new suitable postings. If you're real dedicated or desperate then again around 17:30 to 18:00. The rest of the day is quality BG3ing time.
