Usual quiet Christmas at home helping my mom cook. NYE will be spent as always, watch the fireworks in Stormwind in WoW and then go to bed

So the hand grenade issue I've been handed is not an issue any more because they wanted a post mortem and it hasn't happened since. They were shaking their cage about this all last month and this one, but suddenly it's ok. I get the sense the guy just wants to go on vacation early.

Just means they are with the big boys now that they are getting them. Internet's only been lazy memes in either praise or condemnation for years, too late to let yourself be bothered by them. The guy making a game of sorts in a day or so doesn't really seem like it's a meme, though.

I liked that faked tweet of him pardoning Cosby, because it is something he actually would do.

Title was tongue in cheek, the guy says doing so helped him appreciate the task they had at hand making it, as well. Poor CDPR, people being so mean to them.

Ah yeah forgot I played Wasteland 2. That was also pretty good. Hm, I need to play more awful games, feed the rage.

Reminds me to crack open that Unity book I bought.

Went back to managing Brno in FM as I can play that game while at work. Think I will have to embrace my inner Mourinho and play utterly boring, yet effective football as my players are all morons and I can't get any with intelligence to play for me.

Pretty much just went through unplayed things in my library Surviving Mars - this was great fun, although I have a game breaking bug they've supposedly fixed. Even playing as lazy I was was rewarding, there's more micro to do to squeeze efficiency out. Arma 3 - enjoyed the SP campaign, although got lazy and cheated my way to resolve the story. Probably a much better experience than people who played on release given the amount of years and patches. Offworld Trading Company - Another one I enjoyed but didn't hold my time too well, but might just be me. Economic warfare is a nice idea and change though. Deponia series - This was so so, hateful protagonist but the story was not too stupid, didn't laugh once in all the three games I played but the puzzles were acceptable. Disco Elysium - Maybe game I had the most fun in all year, didn't think it would catch me but was a happy surprise. Planet Coaster - Not much to say on this, I guess I just find it okay. I have no eye for designing pretty parks so I end up making stuff that meets mission requirements Cyberpunk 2077 - Only new game I've played I believe, found this enjoyable, at least enough to hit an acceptable dollars spent to hours played ratio. Do feel the draw to play it after I've done the story, so the game can't be too bad. Either that or WoW has trained me to like Skinner boxes... Shadowlands - This has been enjoyable, Cyberpunk's sort of jarred my progress through the story so I am a bit behind the curve which is a bit annoying. Torghast was not a good idea on their part, most chore like experience in the whole expansion or the entire game recently.

Not necessarily, your work is not your company's and projects are massive. Way late on this and speaking of people working at "bad" companies in the 90s but the creator of DirectX died - https://venturebeat.com/2020/12/07/friends-remember-microsoft-renegade-eric-engstrom-who-suggested-a-directx-console/

Still struggling to get up on time for work, new year's resolution will be that. Guess I need to start shifting alarms around to surprise myself.

Felt sort of silly to see him not dead though, 3 guys blasting at him from near point blank. Well at least I can get the hateful Devil ending.

Saved Takemura, huzzah, Now to re-finish the game.

Parody metal is better than metal these days

Misread Riots as Rotis. Thought we were dealing with a food snob here.

Try as I might I can't not have one in my PC. I guess I will really need to access that DVD of DBZ episodes I burned in 2009. Some day. Sound card as well, but that is more defensible.

Actually, they'll probably make a series about it. Looks like everyone else is getting one anyway.

Well, yes, assuming they've not been laid off, they are actively trying to leave their "bad" company. But as for why people would seek a job at a company with a "bad" reputation - people need money and experience so often you have to take what you can get rather than waiting for an ideal post. Wouldn't think it would mean they are stupid or anything. In any case the CDPR complaints seem pretty typical for software companies, management rushing things, etc. . Always interesting to note how large the scope of projects are, that people can be deceived by management as to the state of them. At least compared to one old workplace management is not run under omerta, so they have that going for them

Okay, odd hiring practice to me to hold that against a worker especially as if they're interviewing with you odds are they are trying to leave anyway.

I guess, a lot of what makes their employer is out of their hands though.

For the rank workers though, would their reputation really be hurt by this ?
