  • Yes, absolutely. It is both more technically engaging and less punishing than something like Stray. There’s no “damage” of any kind, including fall damage, so there’s no game overing to worry about. The one time I managed to “die” in this game, I had found a way out of bounds and then fell into the void. The game just put me back at my last spot in bounds, no progress lost, easy as anything. The only thing that requires any kind of skill is jumping and pouncing, and even then, only because the reticle takes a little getting used to. If we’re being totally honest, this game was made by one of the original Half Life devs for his children.







  • I work at a bank call center. One time I had someone call to check the balance on an account they recently opened with us. The bank I work for is regional, and this caller was on the other side of the country. The account number they gave pointed to an expensive private school in our area. When I asked for more information, the caller said they gave someone 500$ to open the account for them, and that person gave them some checks from us with that account number. I got my lead on the line, did some more Q&A, and we determined this person had been scammed, and given fake checks. The lead said they would close the account. The next week I get a direct message from the fraud investigation team director asking me why this account wasn’t closed. I was able to provide a screenshot of the message from my lead saying they were going to close the account. They thanked me and that was it. I went to check on it, and over 60,000$ in fraudulent checks had cleared the account in that week. I’ve only been working there a few months, and I’m 60,000% sure they would have dropped me like a hot potato on the spot.
