CW: Hardspace Shipbreaker impressions
Liking the... atmosphere. Heh. Got a real blue collar vibe. I get the feeling my debt gets a big penalty every time I get insta-cloned. Cash accumulation for the company store is slow so far, but I really like being given the chance to practice during the tutorial/training. I was starting to get the hang of the multi-tether trick in the opening movie by the time I went to bed.
@Oneironott Love you too, ottfriend!
@starkatt I mean, it's capitalism spacewalking, but yeah. its really pretty spacewalking anyway.
@starkatt I had nooooo idea :)
@Leucrotta New York, New York! This is the only version of this that apparently exists. wish we could;ve gotten the full version.
@starkatt You play as spaceship salvager cutting apart old spacecraft to salvage the parts for money to pay off an obscene amount of debt. Each shift day takes place over 15 minutes. you have to manage a bunch of things like air and supplies, fulfill work orders/quotas on each ship you select to work on, and meet the deadline to minimize penalties and costs so that as much of your labor goes to paying your debt off. As you rank up you can improve your gear and work on bigger ships.

@Leucrotta his voiceover work is stunning.
re: Working with the river tribe
@zebratron2084 There's yet another meeting on thursday, this one more locally focused and centered on corona updates. I'm re-submitting my question.
re: Working with the river tribe
@zebratron2084 I'm sarcastically exaggerating a probably inaccurate interpretation of the cluster manager's actual words, but literally on the stream someone asked him a direction question, and I heard an answer that was about .75 trumps worth of evasion. But intent vs impact applies to management, too.
re: Working with the river tribe
@zebratron2084 *A question is asked*
Cluster manager: "Great question. $someone_else, go take a look at that and come up with a system for collecting metrics so I can have even longer to avoid making a decision i could make right now using my authority as a manager and 'leader' I've got such great bias for action. 10 points to me."
re: Working with the river tribe
@Soreth Since corona, there is only one person who gets pages, and he's a manager. (the newest one) They shut down the on-call rotation, and no one wants to go back onto it until we get answers.
re: Working with the river tribe
@Soreth God i wish, but we're too easily tracked.

@Kyresti *rumbles, handlicks*
re: Working with the river tribe
I specifically asked my question referencing the tribe's own principles and how their lack of response was breaking them to force the leaders to at least acknowledge the question.
i never wanted to work for a tribe this big. there's too many overlays and stake holders to get sign-offs from. I'm constantly amazed /anything/ can get done down here.
Working with the river tribe
End of March: "We're switching to a new schedule and new location assignments to accomodate social distancing requirements while you essential employees continue to work to provide 90% of our tribe's profits. Management will be working from home."
Early April: "You all are doing so well. We're going to be providing additional compensation for your essential work during this dangerous and uncertain period. Please remember to keep following all social distancing guidelines."
April-today: "We're still working on the details for the additional compensation."
Last week: "Submit your questions for the cluster all hands" *everyone asks about additional compensation.
Today: "2.5 hours of blathering about success stories, safety updates, and just how awesome AWS is. Our morale has never been higher, even through the pandemic and the protests. No i'm not going to answer any questions from SEA because we're over. I hope you all have a safe, secure, and highly-available day"
I no longer feel bad about being late to work yesterday.
@velexiraptor Because Google lacks imagination to cover all the ways people would want to interact with their authentication systems.
@LoMakesComics A better antenna on his computer and a batter local router might help, but the best solution i think would be improvements to the whole system, so upgrading the aunt's wireless router and antennas along with his local gear would show the most improvement.
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
