Mannnn. Outer Wilds is so freaking good. I had put it off for a while, but then last year I decided to go through it. It managed to be the perfect game at the perfect time. Raw intrigue and fascination turned into somehow helping me cope with the loss of my sister and dad who I had lost very recently at the time.
I get the productivity shame as well. Like if I mention a game I play, then someone is piping up with a fence they fixed or something etc etc.
It seems like you’re getting your femininity attacked as well which seems so strange. I just thought we would’ve learned by now. Like in our generation (looks like we started at the same time) I was teased (to say the least) a lot for my “nerdy” interests but now it’s like most of it is vogue. It’s dumb that we would repeat that with a specific gender.
I don’t know if it’s of any use but the majority of my lady friends game. Thru mostly also tend to be quiet about it unless nudged. That is to say that you’re not weird, just awesome.
Wow I’m a little surprised it’s grown so much so fast.
I guess anecdotally it’s not terribly surprising? 30s. Busy af. However my gf has been straight dragging me through Terraria, Cosmoteer, and seems like Battle Bit soon. She had a lot more flexibility with her schedule so I’m just trying to keep up.
Weird but awesome
Holy shit can confirm. Am also fighting off some burnout or depression or both?
Get called out for being slow, yet their “fast” development time seems to be related to the projects we have to keep revisiting as they keep failing publicly 🤔
Like yea it needs to be delivered, but do we really want to be so careless with employee and customer trust? Also, wouldn’t there be value in keeping things structured well enough to be consistent with our delivery times?
I get that it can be polished later but later never seems to come. The tech debt just keeps stacking and I find myself being the only one scraping up the turds.
I feel like I’m being gaslighted sometimes…
