  • Across three different organizations, I’ve watched five members of IT fired for their arrogance. If you’re interested in doing this, simply hire an attorney, bring the smart person into the room with the arrogant idiot, and make it clear that someone in that room is not going to work for the organization in two weeks, and then explain the situation.

    I don’t understand this. What happens when you do that?





  • Yeah, I went back to finish this game after 20 years of having not beat it. It definitely has a lot of major issues. The original literally does not use the standard control scheme of X button to confirm. It was worth it to be able to say I finally beat it after all these years, but it is 100% one of those games that make you realize that some old games were not polished or refined in the slightest. And also that translating from Japanese to English was apparently just not as well-tread ground back then.

    And yeah, fuck Orlandu. You spent the whole game raising up your other swordsmen? Lol get fucked






  • Yeah, I feel like it’s heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

    • I’m trying to think of how to quantify a “Have 0 debt” option but like, post mortgage or something.
    • Establish a friend group
    • Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
    • Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
    • See a historical human-made artifact in person
    • See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
    • Visit your country’s capital
    • Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends






  • For real, I think I’ve gone through the “It sucks that never came out” -> “They’re still working on that?!” -> “It sucks that never came out” cycle like three times. The first blog post is in 2018 and it states then that it’s been in dev for several years. It’s never going to see the light of day, or if it does, it’s going to be a conceptually outdated, buggy mess that’s barely duct taped together. It’s just so incredibly hard to dev for that long across multiple engines without it turning into a disaster.

    I’d love to be proven wrong, though…
