A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.
It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It’s just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.
I think you touch it to different things and see what happens, if I remember my absurdists.
Just do your best.
That’s the petrolarchy speaking 😞
I loved it and didn’t finish it either, only I don’t even have an excuse. Maybe I just got stuck.
First time with one of these? They are pretty cool, yeah
Is this a Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell reference? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jonathan_Strange_and_Mr._Norrell
Pretty accurate to the story, now that I actually read it.
Haha yeah, I remember we disagreed on something, but now I can’t remember what. Can’t have been too fundamental, anyway – see you around!
I think most people see these illustrations online these days
That sounds very healthy.
Oh hey sugar_in_your_tea - I’m starting to recognize you from a couple of other comment threads in this community :)
I was thinking illustrator, like those who draw the often semi abstract drawing what go with magazine articles.
They thought the party was going to last forever, so they ordered a bunch of jumbo pizzas and kegs
I mean it’s more like they paid themselves a bunch of bonuses and hired super duper growth hacking experts or whatever, and now they can’t pay for them, so god forbid they cut from the top
Have you heard of synarchy? An actually secret society controls the world via so-called secret societies (the ones you’ve probably heard of), even those with seemingly contradictory goals. Of course they’re so secretive that you’ve never heard of them.
Just kidding I’m paraphrasing a conspiracy nut from Foucault’s Pendulum (good read, but very Noun heavy).___
Yeah for this reason I worry about illustrators and concept artists. Those used to be dream jobs, now I’m not so sure they’re even jobs anymore.
I agree that the game falls apart without challenge, but the challenge will vary by player, especially those of different abilities. So while I wouldn’t use them (until I get older and slower maybe), I support the addition of optional accessibility options in Souls games. They aren’t a fun little experiment anymore - they’re a proven formula, and I believe it can survive tweaking.
I agree with the person you were replying to, and I am glad that the Souls formula isn’t the norm (I’ve played all of them, and haven’t finished a one)…
But the Soulses get a pass from me personally, because their whole thing is about being present in the moment and overcoming what appear to be unbeatable odds. It’s the closest thing in modern gaming that gave me the feeling of being crushed by, and overcoming, the first Airship level in Mario 3.
That said, I’m not against accessibility option in a Souls game, so long as they’re optional.
Nice. Seasonal worker? I dream of taking off a huge chunk of time rather than a few days here and there
Gross lol
