Peggle extreme came w/ the orange box but was removed from everyones libraries for some reason. However, its back on steam and you can get it here for free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3483/Peggle_Extreme/ if you had peggle deluxe in ur steam it may have been nuked when EA took all their games off steam, but now they're all back. Also you get peggle deluxe and peggle nights for free with xbox game pass.

i feel like there's a lot of societal pressure on people to accept meetings but as an autistic person who doesn't feel hardly any pressure to conform to social mores I can tell you that you have nothing to lose but your meetings decline all meetings unless you personally would get value from them! And if they're mandatory and more than 20 people are invited you can accept and then just not go, noone will notice! its free real estate!

uh that needs a qualifier. a bad way to deal with too many meetings is to ignore meeting invites and then deal with a shitload of slack pings 7 minutes after the hour and eventually texts "are you there??? we're waiting for you" Only decline meetings if you don't have any visible input and can't take anything interesting away from it.

i don't mind them because at this new job, i never get bullshit meeting invites for things like "Q3 OKRS for B2B High Tech Vertical Sales Presentation" and everything on my calendar relates to my job and helps me do it better and i don't despise the people in the little windows on the zoom call. blessed i suppose

In my experience that ratio of useful:useless meetings is pretty good when you're starting a new job, but trends towards useless the longer you're there the rate is definitely dependent on the quality of your workplace
