That's twice they listened now

First to UI improvements, and now to problems with required training. We're supposed to take a suite of courses about various aspects of the organization, and some of them have video sections. I hate the pivot to video--I can read much faster than I listen--but fine, sure, whatever. The problem is that my computer now is a tiny box with no speakers, so I couldn't actually listen to anything. I still passed the one course I took with 100% because it was about finance and I do all the budgets, but I didn't want to trust to my pre-existing knowledge, so I wrote in asking about transcripts. They didn't provide that, but they did come over, notice that I have lightning headphones since I have an iPhone 7, and bought 3.5 mm headphones for me to do the courses.
Good for them. Transcripts would be better for accessibility reasons, but the typical corporate response would be to tell me to watch it on my own time at home. In our current cyberpunk dystopic hell, I'm glad I actually got a useful response, even if much of the material the response is for is pointless.
I found a horror manga on Tumblr that I really liked. It's short, with a twist. I've included it and a translation below:

I'm looking forward to Super Mario Odyssey coming out this weekend. I took a long weekend because I had a few extra vacation days that I needed to use, not even realizing that it was the same weekend as the first new 3D Mario platformer in years. I'm not going to get absorbed into it, though, because I'm only going to play it while![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
schoolpsychnerd is around. We played through all of Super Mario Galaxy together, me controlling Mario and schoolpsychnerd shooting stars at my enemies, and since Super Mario Odyssey has a similar low-stress co-op mod, I want the chance to play together. I also still want to play a couple horror games before the month is out. I've spent the whole month playing Trails in the Sky SC and Stardew Valley.
Autumn in Chicago has truly come. It's been rainy and cold, down to 8°C right now, and the leaves continue to fall. This is my favorite time of year and it's distressingly short here. It'll already be colder next week, down to freezing next week Monday morning. I'd better enjoy it while I can. 🍁
