I can count on one hand the number of games I’ve finished in the last 4-5 years. Off the top of my head

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Spider-Man (PS4) Red Dead Redemption II L.A. Noire Middle Earth: Shadow of War

I struggle to finish story-heavy games - Lemmy.world

I’m not sure why exactly, but I just struggle to finish basically any game where there is a heavy focus on story. I seem to get about 90% of the way through them and then just stop playing abruptly. I think sometimes I do that because I just play too much in too short of a time, so I burn myself out on it unintentionally because I’m just enjoying the story so much up to that point. Other times I seem to be able to tell where the story is going and I don’t like it, usually because it’s tragic and I don’t want to experience the tragedy I know is coming; It’s like this sense of dread overcomes me and I struggle to continue. Other times still, I seem to just know the end is coming and I don’t want it to end so I put it off and then forget that I was almost done with it. Does anyone else do this? I feel bad for having not finished a ton of different games, even the ones I was really enjoying at one time.

Wikipedia is amazing

Wikipedia is amazing - Lemmy.world

I feel like not enough people appreciate the simple fact that Wikipedia is essentially the most well-organized and complete collection of human knowledge in existence, and furthermore, it’s available to everyone who has access to the internet for free in dozens of languages. There are tens of thousands of individuals collaborating every hour of every day to collect knowledge and share it with the rest of the world purely out of the desire to document and teach, and millions of people spending hours in the Wikipedia rabbit hole learning about subjects that they would have had no opportunity to without it. Wikipedia is amazing. It’s the modern Library of Alexandria.

Unemployment after getting fired

Unemployment after getting fired - Lemmy.world

Hello /c/adulting My wife was fired recently without warning. She has filed for unemployment and had an initial interview with the unemployment office today. They claim that her former employer told them that she was “not doing her job” but I have never heard anything from her regarding performance issues. They also claimed that they “talked to her about her performance” and she claims that they never made any attempt to correct her performance and was unaware that they were unhappy with her. What does this mean for her eligibility for unemployment? Is there any recourse?
