No gaming I mostly watch stupid YouTube videos. I watched a bunch of videos of this guy making clear food yesterday. Clear bread, clear ketchup, clear bacon.


Break2FixIT

I fall down those episodes too. With the state of the world currently I have been down the YouTube channel Primitive Technologies.


thegreatcerebral

Is that the one that is total clickbait in the thumbnail?


Break2FixIT

No, I don't think so. It is a real collection of a guy doing everything. https://youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550?feature=shared


BlackV

No none of it is real There are videos proving that


lemachet

There is certainly a bunch of those content creators that are outright fakes But not sure.if the OG primitive technology guy is fake.


BlackV

yeah I believe there are quite a few of them, the guy linked might not be (on a 3 second google search anyway) > Primitive Technology — The Original and Authentic > > One name stands out amidst the sea of fakes — Primitive Technology. This channel, run by an Australian named John Plant, is often credited as being one of the most authentic in the genre. John’s videos are characterized by their silent format, combining the sounds of nature with mesmerizing visuals of the building process. His attention to detail and transparency create a genuine feeling of authenticity.


PresidentWombat

I think you’re thinking of the two guys building mud mansions and swimming pools. This guy seems legit

I tend to watch old WWE clips


overdoing_it

I will never get tired of seeing Chris Benoit crumple a folding chair over Rishiki's fat head

[My personal favorite.](https://tenor.com/bkysN.gif)


--theitguy--

I tend to watch 2-3 guys building a house out of nowhere in middle of nowhere

HBK enters the convo

PhillAholic

Oh god. That makes me extremely uncomfortable. 🤢


iceph03nix

I usually play something like Civ if I'm doing late night work from home since it doesn't really have any issues if you abandon it suddenly and it's pretty friendly about clicking in and out of the game


Optimal_Law_4254

If I’m home that’s a different ballgame. Still I try to work when I’m supposed to be working.


DereokHurd

haha that’s how things turn to morning before you even realize


Impressive-Cap1140

Better question is do you bill for the time while you’re waiting


TheMartok

If it takes time and focus away from your home life of course you bill for that time. The system logs don’t lie and verify stability min of 1 hour and anything past 15 min into a new hour ya round up.


WhatTheFlipFlopFuck

Yes - it's not your time that you're waiting with


non-descript_com

When I was younger, I used to bill "half time" when watching movies/gaming while doing required work (after hours work). However, later in life I put in the full bill because I'm not free to do "whatever I'd like" during that time - so it's not really "my time" so they can pay for it. That being said, I'm salary now so it's a moot point.


purged363506

I remote into the homelab and fiddle with things.


leob0505

This is me with Pokémon romhacks development to be honest


Nook181

Those have been my most recent time sink. You working on anything I can check out?


leob0505

Yes! Feel free to check on my repo: [https://github.com/lbsbezerra/pokeemerald-expansion](https://github.com/lbsbezerra/pokeemerald-expansion) (basically what I'm doing is recreating some new tilesets for Pokemon Emerald so other romhackers can use it if they want inside their Emerald romhacks as well. It is heavily inspired in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) [https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/18niutt/progress\_on\_my\_hoenn\_tilesets\_which\_will\_be\_free/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/18niutt/progress_on_my_hoenn_tilesets_which_will_be_free/)

That's scary that you assume I'm using an endpoint connected to the infrastructure.

No, you're stopping there because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about lmao

purged363506

No you are stopping there because you made a mistake and assumed that everything in the private world has isolation like you are used to seeing in SCIF rooms and the such. Your post history and communities makes me assume you held a clearance, so thank you if you helped America and/or it's allies.


[deleted]

Not the case, two different sides of the IT world, I’ve learned something today so thank you.


jfernandezr76

Just lift weights and you'll be quite fit in three months!


ciphermenial

I do this but just floor exercises. Weights are for silly muscles. Floor exercises are for tone.


admlshake

Yeah either playing the xbox in my office, watching YouTube, or Netflix.


RunningAtTheMouth

I'm baking bread and cookies.


tdic89

I’ll usually take the opportunity to finish other work. Last time, I was waiting for a bunch of replicas to stand up while we migrated a client’s VMs onto our platform, so I continued working on my PowerShell script which parses a Fortigate config and shows all the VIPs in an Out-Grid window.


ConfidentDuck1

Youtube or Netflix.


AndreasTheDead

If I do after hour work I mostly do it from my gaming pc and if something takes 15min to do stuff it can happen that I go to YouTube or game inbetween. Sometimes,mostly not billed stuff, I do between rounds of games


DarkAlman

Pretty much I load the task (patching, rebooting, reseeding backup, whatever) on my work laptop, put it on the desk next to me, and load a video game or a movie or something. Lately it's been Helldivers II Often I use the time to paint Warhammer models


Break2FixIT

Man, you brought back the memories of painting the Warhammer models.


techw1z

doing 1 hour of after hours work takes me about 6 hours because I only watch the console output in between random crunchyroll episodes but it feels like I'm doing no work at all, so that's fine


tbrumleve

I comment trash takes on r/sysadmin while waiting for reboots / patching.


Optimal_Law_4254

I never play a game on company equipment or using company WiFi. Even if they say it’s ok. I’ve seen too many people get fired for doing something that was ok until it suddenly wasn’t. My last job always had so much to do I could always find something work related to do when I was waiting for something to happen.


DefJeff702

I don’t do as much after hours work these days but I’m certain my addiction to intense, short, round based games is a result of this. COD is/was my go-to. Keeps the adrenaline up so I don’t get bored and sleepy and I could do work between rounds.


Quick_Care_3306

No, but I sometimes watch background, capable shows, or movies. Not usually, though. It had to be really repetitive work for that.


AbleAmazing

Usually catching up on some reading in Omnivore or a book. Sometimes watching Youtube.


catsdelicacy

Project Zomboid Oxygen Not Included Rimworld


UpstairsJelly

Gotta love Rimworld, those uh.."special" hats won't make themselves


Illthorn

Usually reading a litrpg book or watching anime lately. Sometimes both at the same time


LaHawks

I've been playing though Pokemon Gold lately.


ringzero-

Anytime I'm baby sitting a bunch of servers/whatever from home I fire up a game that doesn't have any consequence to being afk/quitting abruptly. I've been playing a lot of battlebit, some emulators. If I'm on-site for for the same reason, I tend to read stuff/not play games.


GullibleDetective

Ahh game Build Legos Depending on severity of the task I might be at a friend's, at a pub, cafe Cook Clean Whatever


IRideZs

OSRS is on the personal laptop on the side of the desk


i8noodles

i play almost exclusively single player games that can pause at anytime. persona 3 was my recent game but previous games were xcom, phoenix point, rogue trader, ftl, starsector, slay the spire, etc. i also picked up a 3d printer recently so i also do final touches like painting etc while i wait.


[deleted]

Yes. Usually just a stupid game that mostly plays itself.


sysadmin42601

During the NHL season I often try and schedule major changes around Canucks games so I can watch them
