The CTO at my last job was pulling down millions a year despite barely knowing anything about anything, and being little more than a glorified bully. He got there via project management, after all.

I never understood the beef with FlyingSquid. Every time I heard this hue and cry about how he was abusing his powers, I asked for details, and it turned out the details were that he sent one rude message to one user, months ago, or that he liked to argue with people. Whatever. If he’s now in a bad place I hope he gets some help. Life is fragile.

Sup.

Any word on if cross-platform multiplayer will be supported? Would love to play with my nephew but he’s a PlayStation kind of guy.

That was absolutely beautiful.

I make it easy for people.

“Start at the beginning and watch in production order. A bunch of stuff happens between/during those early entries but it’s all essentially retcon, save it for when you have the context. It’ll be more impactful.”

But it’s so olllllllllllld I can’t watch this!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s my advice, do what you want with it.

I’m, uh, just gonna go back and grab a coat real quick.

The curse of Fëanor runs long

I used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.
