Really off topic but I just found out some jobs ask job applicants what they do for hobbies outside of work on job applications. Like wtf? Why do you care what I do outside of work? I'd leave that blank I think or throw it away and apply somewhere else if they asked that. Feel like that's asking for too much.
The story I read said they passed over a job applicant for the job because they played video games in their spare time and the boomer interviewer said I don't want to have someone working in this company that goes home and plays games.I've never seen that question on an application form before but I have had that question come up in interviews. I think some companies really do care what you do in your free time but I think in most cases, I think the interviewer wants to see how you are in casual conversation, probably to gauge how you might act around other coworkers. But it being a question on an application form is weird.
That sounds like something that’d be exaggerated for an article. Not that it’s impossible and I’m sure it has happened, but I imagine it’d be rare especially these days - and honestly if a company is so backwards and ridiculous as to have that be a reason they’d pass over someone I wouldn’t want to work there anyway.The story I read said they passed over a job applicant for the job because they played video games in their spare time and the boomer interviewer said I don't want to have someone working in this company that goes home and plays games.

Then again there is definitely some truth to this, too. It’s all nonsense but it can’t hurt to lean into that some. Just try to be as natural as possible and keep it fairly truthful and grounded, though.You definitely need to target your response depending on who it is you are talking to. I generally don't talk about gamed in interviews. I found that playing sports, cooking, music, and film (but not that TV) are generally safe answers. Some interviews want to know if you are striving to become better or learn something with your free time. It's mostly BS but some interviewers want to know that you are doing something "productive or meaningful". With a lot of older people, they just see games goofing off so they don't like that as an answer.
Yep. Some businesses around here did the same thing on the day it was announced that he had lost, so like.. par for the course.This regarding you know who? Doubt that will happen where I am at, but who knows anymore.

Sifu runs perfectly on Steam Deck with a solid 60fps. Really having a blast with the game so far.
Someone brought up The Boss in here already, so why not run with it:So, is this the Nintendo or the Springsteen General Discussion Thread? xD
i saw some flags at half mast earlier today which i assumed was the weekly scheduled mass shooting flag lowering. they should just lower them permanently saves you time at this point.This regarding you know who? Doubt that will happen where I am at, but who knows anymore.
...I kinda hate that I'm at a point with this country where I wouldn't expect people to lower flags for a mass shooting. But ya know, maybe you're right that's that's what they're doing. I should be less cynical.i saw some flags at half mast earlier today which i assumed was the weekly scheduled mass shooting flag lowering. they should just lower them permanently saves you time at this point.
The Wii is older now than the SNES was when Wii came out.Woke up old as shit.

US giftcard.Good day everyone!
We have approximately 36 hours left until our time together with me steering this madhouse comes to an end, but I just want to thank you all for taking the time to shitpost and rockaway the days with me here in this little corner of the internet. We’ve laughed, cried, vented, and shared about neat things we see and what’s in our lives. It’s been a pleasure getting to spend time with you all as your captain.
However, while I’m captain I’m taking these last few hours to do the opposite of gatekeeping: forcing everyone to like what I like! Hooray! What fun! I know you’re all cheering behind your screens, and to thank you for your excitement I’m gonna raffle not one, but TWO eShop $5 gift cards! One is for the US eShop, and the other is for the Canada eShop. To the rest of the world, I can only offer eternal love and gratitude if you do share a response; it’s only because I won a US gift card three years ago I can’t use myself and a Canadian card I can acquire easily
What is your favourite Bruce Springsteen song, and why?
It can be an original by the Boss himself, or his music being covered by another artist (Bastille, Mary J Blige/Kendrick Lamar, David Bowie, The Hold Steady, Juanes, Neil Young, Eric Church, Sting, etc.), or Bruce covering another artist (The Beatles, Prince, Lorde, AC/DC, Bee Gees, etc.), or even performing with another artist (The Killers, Dropkick Murphys, Bleachers, Tom Morello, Bob Seger, Paul McCartney, The Gaslight Anthem, etc.). It can be a studio version on an official album release, a demo/outtake, a live performance, a remix. If you got a memory of this song, or the lyrics speak to you in some way (or they're goofy enough they make you laugh), or typing in your favourite artist and finding out they covered Springsteen at some point and you enjoy it, that all counts! Throw in a link to the YouTube video/Spotify where you found your performance as well so I can also enjoy it with fresh ears and put myself in your shoes!
HOW TO ENTER: Quote this post, and at the top let me know before your answer which raffle you’re entering whether it’s the US or Canada eShop gift card. I’ll keep track in a separate document, and anyone here can enter so long as you can still post in this thread(/you can redeem the gift card ). I’ll do a draw after and let y’all know who wins in ST19 and send codes via DM!

Nintendo killed Mario 2 years ago.
First drop bears, and now drop fools?Aaaand April has officially started in Australia.
Brace yourselves, Fools will soon start dropping.
Don't give up hope yet, there's still like 14 hours until you're technically wrong.Thanks for great ST @Brofield!
With the month ending, a long bet comes to an end as well. Sometime last year, @mazi and I made an avatar bet. The premise was simple: will there be a new, more powerful Nintendo Switch released by March 31, 2023? I voted yes, and mazi voted no. Clearly I lost this bet lol.
I think we agreed to a one-week avatar change (mazi feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken). So please mazi, let me know what I will be wearing as a badge of shame for the next week!
how's this?Thanks for great ST @Brofield!
