    Having worked at institutions with “no Friday deadlines” as a rule, but Monday 8/9am deadlines are A-OK, I feel your pain. The “logic” from central management is that us markers don’t have to mark over weekends and have enough time to mark before classes on Wednesday-Friday, but what’s stopping me from just ignoring the assignment marking until Monday?

    The good old Narcissist’s Tankie’s Prayer:

    That didn’t happen,

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad,

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal,

    And if it is, that’s not my fault,

    And if it was, that’s Western propaganda,

    And if it isn’t, you deserved it.




  • The Witcher 2, though it’s more of an exploit.

    If you get the sword from the Lady of the Lake in the previous game, you start the prologue of TW2 with two silver swords, one being the Lady of the Lake sword. Unequip the Lady of the Lake sword so you don’t lose it to the dragon.

    You now have a mid-tier silver sword that is good for half the game. You also don’t need to find a new silver sword at the start of the game.


  • Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Inspired the STALKER video games.

    At some point in the 20th century, aliens esentially fired some rockets filled with garbage at the earth. The fallout of these rockets created several “exclusion zones” around earth. The book chiefly follows speculators who risk crossing military cordons in order to recover and sell salvaged tech.
