we should maybe go... actually finish breath of the wild sometime

the game has so much content that actually doing the final boss is kind of... not a thing we want to do yet? but we're *still* avoiding spoilers for the late game and it came out years ago

this "Demo User" person hasn't turned in a *single* assignment for me to grade

Taurs.

chickens?

is it just us or does it bug anyone else that super hydlide isn't a super nintendo game

oh huh, apparently the main reason the game gear was such a battery hog was that it used a ccfl backlight

apparently you can mod a game gear to use an led backlight pretty easily and modded ones have comparable battery life to a game boy (about five times a stock game gear)

It's similarly easy to grade when they don't even try but I don't like that as much because I like people to be actually trying and learning

I like when the students I'm grading get the problems right

that makes it really easy to grade (and also means they're understanding the material, I like when people understand)

when they get it wrong, unless they just don't even try, I have to go back and figure out what exactly they did wrong to figure out partial credit

the PMD remake came out today and we need to get it but money D:

...we also still don't have the link's awakening remake

life tip: if you tell people you'll be back before leaving, you are entirely within your rights to announce your return by saying "Just as it was foretold, I have returned!"

apparently there were a ton of rpgs on the game gear, of all things??

it's amusing to me that shadow the hedgehog 100% speedruns take multiple months to complete

it just feels like we're too overwhelmed to have this kind of responsibility

well now we feel awful

made a pretty big mistake in the solutions we wrote to one of the homework assignments and now i think the professor we're taing for is upset at us

also he wants us to suspend grading until we can pick up some notes from him this afternoon and that means we won't be able to do any grading today at all and augh

this is sufficiently discouraging that

What precisely does "all rights reserved" mean anyway?

i don't knwo what to do

it feels like we can barely even manage a 10 or 15 hour work week

how are we going to survive going forward

we make barely enough right now for rent and groceries and a *little* bit of fun stuff on the side but we're currently working as a TA and being paid very well for the amount of work we do (compared to the general job market)

but we can't keep that position forever, once we graduate we go off to do something else and. what can we do that will make enough money to live but also not completely overwhelm us with responsibility
