maybe i dont have the 'growth mindset' necessary to work in the industry but my first thought upon reading this was "kill yourself"

So I watched this video about collecting rejections as rocks in a jar and I couldn't help thinking that I wish I had more rejections which is kind of weird but

When you job search these days, it feels like screaming into a void. You almost never get rejected, you just don't hear anything. I find it weirdly difficult emotionally because you can't help hoping that maybe you will hear, and I've gotten interviews 2 or 3 months after applying so there is precedent. You aren't able to emotionally dismiss any opportunity, because who knows?

I would much rather have a rejection and close the door. Given how all this shit is automated anyway, how hard can it be for the company to send out an email saying the position was filled? My last job hunt (about a year ago), I had two interviews in the same week and received an offer from the second one. When I emailed the first, out of courtesy, and told them I was withdrawing from consideration, they told me they had already hired someone. Can they not even email the interviewees? The lack of consideration is astounding to me.

And then HR people have the audacity to complain that people will skip interviews without notification, who treated whom without basic human decency first?

do you think there is any elitism regarding tattoo application in cyberpunk? cause we see v's tattoo being applied automatically by a ripperdoc but i have to assume that tattoo artist is still a job, if even a dying one that's slowly being replaced by machines. like even today we see artists fighting for their work and the integrity of art in general versus ai, and i know in the tattoo community there have been similar things happening re: robotics/automated application within the last few years (look up BlackDot tattoo) and i just want to know what that community is like in 2077. there must still be old school corner tattoo shops right??

cost of living crisis bad yes but sometimes I think about the calculations about that one ancient tunic and think ‘well it’s nice that 1 bland outfit doesn’t represent the equivalent of $38,000 in labor anymore’

Some pro-AI people have been calling anti-AI people "luddites", which some anti-AI people have taken to proudly wearing as a badge of honor. Because, as they will explain, the Luddites were right to smash the looms that were automating their work, as they were defending labor and fair wages, just like anti-AI movements are doing now.

Of course, once you've made that argument, you need to either follow it to the logical conclusion of "and therefore using AI is no worse than buying a T-shirt from Walmart, because we've all accepted that textile workers losing their jobs to automation is fine if it makes clothing cheaper for the rest of us", or you need to be really, really, really sure that every stitch of clothing you're wearing was ethically sourced and made exclusively by union workers making a living wage.

Idk cause it's like obviously taking inspiration from the things that worked in other games in your genre is fine and good and expected it's just when it becomes something that starts to detract from the identity of the game YOURE making

Like animal crossings botched attempt to introduce crafting and pseudo-farming mechanics...i appreciate that they Tried Something Difference but I just think...in an attempt to satisfy people who want something different out of their gameplay, they both went too far and not far enough with it, and it's the same with new Story of Seasons games

And broken record but this QOL shit is important if you're going to make crafting and resource management a core part of your game you have to fucking give players ways to make it easier on themselves into the late game. Even when the grind IS the fun it isn't fucking fun to sit there and manually craft one item at a time. This is known. This is known. How the fuck did ACNH not known this

[ID: a three color drawing (black, white, and teal) in the style of Seth’s illustrations from the Lemony Snicket series All The Wrong Questions. Five and Viktor (both about 13) are seated at the counter of a diner, talking. Luther (in his 20s), who is a patron seated next to them, looks concerned about what he is overhearing. Grace stands behind the counted holding a coffee pot and gazing into space. A missing poster for Ben is taped to the counter. In the mirror behind the counter, a reflection Diego and Patch (both 15) are visible in a booth. End ID]

i really should leave time between art posts for them to breathe and accumulate their fair share of notes, but also i need something to do while im waiting for my onions to caramelize.

In this installment: Five and Viktor meet over breakfast to discuss business, Luther is a Concerned Citizen, Diego and Patch also meet over breakfast to discuss business but in the background, and Grace is NOT a robot and this diner is NOT fully automated no sir. Also as usual Ben's face provides some ambiance, thank you Ben.

I finally achieved Perfection in SDV for the first time!!! I'm extremely happy and proud of this, it was so fun and I did everything myself, I didn't even pay for any golden walnuts to be found. Next I think I'm going to download Stardew Valley Expanded and get perfection there but using the Joja route, because I've never done a Joja run before and I think it would be fun and interesting to try
