This is hilariously silly, putting that on my Steam Wishlist hahaha

And it’s your fault if it happens to you, because we sent you EMAILS telling you it was going to happen!

Microsoft and Apple are both privacy-disregarding monopolistic megacorporations. The difference is Microsoft is slowly degrading in competence and their PR machine is no longer able to compensate

That was a good game, I used to destroy everyone at local split screen

Hopefully one day they remaster it in high refresh rate, 4K, on PC… but I’m dreaming, that’ll never happen

Much flatter in the northwest (Amazon Basin?) than I thought

Where you’re at now sounds particularly bad, but having worked fully remotely for a few years myself, it definitely isn’t guaranteed to be better for your work-life balance. It’s difficult to separate the two spheres for one thing, and you can still end up in a situation where you may get requests, messages and pings come through at any time, constantly.

I’ve worked for roughly half a dozen employers so far. In my experience an employer may SAY they value employee work-life balance, that’s no guarantee they actually will. They may also genuinely believe they prioritise it, but still fall hugely short of what other employers can offer.

Fuck burnout culture though. Also fuck teams that celebrate “heroes”

Yes and in fact I do. Unfortunately it doesn’t help with the sense of “rigidity” of the schedule and how draining it is

Yep, my experience exactly. It’s mostly because I can define my own hours when working for myself. But also - When I’m working for someone else there’s also a nagging feeling that I’m pissing away my life force if I go as much as a single hour over.

Yeah, that reminds me. I should take my stuff off it

Working “full time”. I love what I actually do at work (generally) but like… doing it 9-6 five days a week is so fucking draining. It feels like working defined hours for the sake of working in those hours. Obviously for most jobs the hours spent working do matter, but for software development it may actually be counterproductive as being tired fucks up your productivity hard

Pretty sure the word you’re looking for is “yaoi”
