๐๐Was just heading to bed when I looked over on my shelf and noticed my Dreamcast with the weird custom lid and modem cover looks even weirder in the dim blue light emanating from the Christmas star decoration hanging in our living room.

I got laid off today, the first time in my career. When AT&T merged a bunch of companies (HBO, Turner, etc.) under the former Time Warner corp umbrella into a single entity WarnerMedia, we knew the new company would look to consolidate. It was a bit of a surprise given where I was situated organizationally, but a bunch of us were given pink slips. Because I got rolled up in a broad organizational move, itโs easy not to take this personally, so Iโm glad for that. I had seen some friends struggle emotionally before.ย
My wife recently got a new job,ย and sheโs still within the new employee benefits enrollment window, so at least I donโt have to worry about getting a new job quickly for health insurance reasons. For the first time, I wonโt be the primary coverage member ๐ย Lots of new firsts.
Before folks feel too sorry for me, I am in a good position. First, I am grateful for an extremely stable career experience so far. Iโve experienced my share of company re-org and changes and always landed into a great place. The fact that this is my first involuntary job change is quite the feat in a 23 year career.ย Second,ย Iโm also grateful that we will be given a nice severance package to ease the transition into the next gig. Third, Iโm in an industry that is very robust and still hiring. And lastly and most importantly, God is good, and He is the Shepherd of my life. In Him, I find peace and rest.
I share this news here because I like the I/O community and wanted to open up more on a personal level to foster better relationships. Also, Iโll have more time to spend on the monthly challenge, so you have been warned ๐น๐น๐คฃ๐คฃ

FINALLY after like a year, cut my hair....I didn't go anywhere, got nice Remington hair clippers, didn't even use an attachment, did it all myself with the bare clippers right down, all even, took like maybe 10 minutes? OMG FEELS SOOOO MUCH BETTER! ALL THAT HAIR fit in a single little sandwich baggy, funny how hair compresses like that. Now that I have the clippers though I do not plan to EVER let it get that long again! My wifeย loves my hair like this.....she says Hi.... R

It is funny how often I forget to fire up MAME to compare the arcade version of home ports, soooo many great arcade classics at our disposal in MAME. It is always interesting to see how different the original arcade version is since those were typically designed to challenge you to keep trying while consuming your coins and so home versions though maybe not always comparable graphically sometimes made up for it with additional features. I will definitely check out the link you mentioned. All these arcade games at my disposal, literally thousands so no matter how many times I fire it up even after all these years there is always something new to check out or great classics to re-experience. Puzzle, side scrolling shooters, racing, fighting, obscure Japanese and even clone and knock off games, though I COULD do without all the Mahjong titles I don't need. ย ย ย -
