@Motodrachen @Draekos fully agreed! It’s nice to hear someone else say it!

@orrery Okay. I think we're in alignment on this, then. I know i would be, at minimum, very upset about something like that being done without my input or even getting the chance to discuss it beforehand.

@orrery Uhhhhhhh.....I... is this a thing you are okay with?

@wobblewuffess I definitely will!

@Draekos @Motodrachen Oh shit that is such a better interpretation! I hadn't even heard of that being official, but even if it isn't, that's how I'm going to think of it from now on.

So about once a month, my boss sends me a meeting invite for a 1 on 1 check in. The subject is usually something like "$Orthosona/$boss_Name 1:!" with no context in the invite body.

Needless to say, the lack of information was a VERY reliable way of stressing me the fuck out and basically filling up all my emotional buffers with dread, anxiety and worry.

So I asked him to change the invite contents a little, provide some more context and make the subject a little less... unpersonalized.

Today, I got an invite for "$orthosona and $boss_name friendly check-in time" with an invite message of "Just want to meet to see how things are going and generally catch up!"

being heard and having my needs remembered and accommodated for took a lot of anger and frustration i was having this morning from other work stuff and just... disappeared it.

My boss is as much of one of the good ones as you can have in a boss. I'm happy to work for him.

@Draekos @irisjaycomics Corporate game development is likely so focused on profit and deadlines that they've chosen to ignore the distinction, or they aren't subtle enough to realize there is one. It's probably both.

As someone with a more than passing interest in making an "augmented people future" game, what sort of signifiers would most clearly express or show what you actually want from such a game?

@Motodrachen @Draekos Only if they think very shallowly about how tightly human experience and tool usage is welded together. Consider the following: Glasses are primitive cyberware augmentations. Those tiny flashlights you clip onto a hat or wear on a strap around your head are primitive cyberware.

I don't want to work today. I want to do projects. My projects. I've got a deck roof to engineer, a battlebot to build, a new desk to engineer.

I miss using my hands to create.

@LexYeen@snouts.online The interrobang went away‽

@Leucrotta Happy up-time anniversary!

@fibonacci_reminder Those would certainly be the non-Terrans I would want to meet. They'd be more likely to forgive us of our bullshit, and to be more understanding if they get here too late.

I was doing some research to try and remember where I was going with a story I was writing and found that the reality of something I thought was really fucking awesome turns out to be completely useless. Like most of my life, and humanity in general.
