Hmmm, actually it appears my direct manager is also leaving and me leaving came as such a surprise he didn't want to announce until I was gone. LOL.

In the office this last week. CIO tells me to my face I can come back anytime. I don't really know how to interpret that. Is he just being nice? Is he being serious? Would I get the much higher market rate if I did return? He isn't one to just say bullshit so I think he's serious but I've never...

Sadly ghosting is the absolute norm now. A decade ago ghosting just didn't happen. Maybe like 15 years ago I guess. @Cutlery This will sound gay because it is. Use AI to tighten up your resume. Not for buzzwords but for concise phrasing and summarization of your experience. Once I did that I...

I love how silly this show is. I lost it when the badass marine guy shows up and he is smoking two cigars at the same time. Because fuck it, that's just cool.

Well entering my last week at this job. This will be the first time in my life I left a job that I actually, genuinely liked and feel bad about it. I examined this from every angle I could think of but it ultimately came down to this: Stay and become like a steward of a slowly maturing SAAS...

Pullback seems like a good time to buy some stuff.

While I fully support the "arcane archer" class. I agree than Ranger and Archer are just really weird. OG EQ Ranger sucked shit for many reasons. But the generic philosophy of a warrior/druid multiclass has old roots. If you play games like Original Sin II they do the Arcane Archer really well...

That reminds me of the original Xenogears that had a 20+ minute unskippable cutscene before a major boss fight. Took me like 10 tries on that shit and I would just let it run and walk away until the fight started. Such nostalgia!

Are you ready for the future!? https://devinterrupted.substack.com/p/inventing-the-ralph-wiggum-loop-creator

I have to write the job description for my replacement and its a Principal engineering position. Not that I care I know they can't match my offer. But I feel somewhat validated by it.

Well I am a little upset. Hianime worked a lot better than these other trash sites. Yes I know Nyaa works fine but I don't want to deal with that shit most of the time.

I'm not a gay old man from the midwest thanks. That said I am happy to be moving to work in tech but not for a tech company. This is a solidly blue collar industry where they just happen to employ software engineers as well. At this stage of my career I do value working for a company where I...

Just found out this new office doesn't allow flip flops. This is a violation of my constitutional rights! This is mostly what I am doing. Indexing the docs to the agent that I would be writing anyway.

Gay.

Yeah this is me. I need to get around to playing this more.

Make her level up by playing the game. God damn.

I love Sentenced to Be a Hero. But I find it perplexing that the heroes are by far the most capable individuals in the entire kingdom. None of the Holy Knights are anywhere near them in skill. I get that getting the Dark Souls life as a punishment forces them to serve forever and all but its...

For the sake of argument let's assume Paw is equivalent to Lower Guk and Sol B. How much traffic do you think Paw is going to get?

Modern tooling makes game creation easier. Everyone knows this. That is why we are discussing game design based on what they said and the state of the game as we interact with it. Not sure why you're not getting that. The retards here are correctly identifying that there currently exists...

If you like puzzles Myst was appealing.

Okay lets just look at Guk and Sol B. These are absolutely wonderfully designed dungeons. They have stood the test of time and remain great dungeons. Great loot, great aesthetic, genuinely prime MMO design. For the sake of argument let's hope they have 5 dungeons of this size and quality...

I have genuinely loved working at this company. I just outgrew it and don't want to wait out how long it will take to create the role above me for the 5th time. I have been the first person in every single role I have had at this company, as I was like the 180th employee. While it was full on in...

While P99 is an okay example anyway its still a shit example of "real world adoption" because it is managed poorly and its a niche retro game. Longterm nolifers were always its audience because its totally free and they have no jobs or anything. They dominate that game yes and its a bad idea to...

This is an interesting discussion because if we look at history here. Blizzard not only listened to the EverQuest poopsockers, they hired them and made them content designers. Which of course led to runaway success. When the next contender for MMO tried to replicate this by also listening to...

Everything aside this discussion ignores the herd of elephants in the room. The metagame in the early 00s was limited to computer savvy people capable of information sharing outside of the game. In addition to advanced computer skills like packet sniffing that is simply beyond the average...

Casuals will not care if Uber Big Cock Dragon is permacamped by poopsockers. They will care if generic class quests similar to Robe of the Lost Circle or whatever that requires no raid/end uber content is permacamped by poopsockers on top of them taking everything else too.

I am way too old for that shit lol.
