My wife’s standing at her company’s IT dept skyrocketed during COVID lockdowns.

Why? Because we were both working from home, and aside from helping her with basic troubleshooting, I also helped her formulate her tickets better.

Turns out, tech support folks like it when a ticket has concise info, instead of “screen broke”.

Finished my first a BG3 run, blind. Was considering starting a second run, with “perfect” choices (and mods) but it seems that patch 6 broke quite some things.

Gonna spend time playing “dad games”, then. I don’t know what’s so appealing about those “X simulator” games, but I can absolutely get lost in them.
