Survival Quest (The Way of the Shaman: Book #1) is a good fun LitRPG. I've gone through the other books in the series with English translations. I'm eager for the remainder of the books to be translated to English.

Flipping the major version number should be enough to communicate it is a breaking / not backwards compatible version.

It was you.

Those dreamcast VMUs didn't weigh much. I don't recall anything cool going on them. Did Skies of Arcadia utilize it a little... hrm... Nintendo already copied the playable VMU things a bit with the GBA connectors to the GameCube. It was the only way to play multi-player in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. What I want to know is can I just carry the controller around and play mini-games on it then synch with the main console later?

The solution was discovered long ago. Read Atlas Shrugged.

Forgot one more thing, you didn't see the boss using outside labor to do his job as a savings basis.

I don't understand why people want to compare his value with an outside contractor since they'd be doing the same job. I thought the objective of the exercise was to determine how much value the things he does brings to the company. If you compare with what it costs to bring in an outside guy to fix say a printer problem that doesn't help you know how much fixing a printer problem is really worth that only lets you know how much it would cost someone else to do the same job.

The only logical approach I can see is to find out what it costs the company if the the printer doesn't get fixed; but that brings us to a number that no manager wants to hear so they may be content to go with valuing the work as the price to have the lowest bidder do the same task.

I think the bottom line is that yes your job is that critical but so are a dozen or more other positions at your company which makes the whole exercise a waste of time.
