Keeping knowledge well-documented is kind of a losing struggle for most projects and organizations I’ve seen, I guess (it’s me! I’m part of the problem!).

Our entire knowledge base at work is in a sloppy unstandardized OneNote. If we can’t get it right when we’re being paid to, well…

So I get it, I’m incredibly easygoing about a lot of stuff and this in particular. All I’d wish for is a little softpedaling the communication in a scenario where things have to be adjusted due to game systems or setting with something like this : “hey, sorry, this hasn’t been clearly documented and we’re working on it, but can you adjust your +job accordingly?”

And a little less “hey noob” tone.

Anyway, this is all rather petty. I’m petty.

@SpaceKhomeini
Is there a link to the thematic stuff/correction you’re talking about?

Nah I’m a vaguebooking bitch.

Seriously though, I’m going to avoid naming names or places at the moment simply because I still keep getting haunted by the ghost of a certain Metro staffer which makes me paranoid. I’m going to assume someone just had a bad day (or I genuinely misread tone) and move on. The world is full of assholes and I’d rather not potentially be one more right now.

But I wanted to gripe for five seconds, about the sort of thing which has been a real peeve of mine for decades.

start delivering pronouncements about theme as if I’m a complete fucking dumbass

Ah, the curse of prior knowledge. “I know this, so everyone knows this!”

Someone fishing for TS.

This isn’t a MUSH peeve, really, but somebody just used a PB of a character on a teen drama I used to watch in the 2000s, where this guy played a teenager. And he’s now gotten to the point where you can use him as an ‘old man’ character.

And for a second I was like wait…that can’t be right…

And no, the actor is exactly the right age, it’s just been 20 years and we’re all old now.

@Third-Eye why would you personally attack me like this

@Third-Eye Did you know that Chace Crawford is nearly 40? My next alt.

GF

@Third-Eye Last weekend my sister said to me, “Thirty years ago doesn’t mean 1970,” and I’m still a little mad.

Roz

@GF WOW. Time for no contact, smh, that’s so rude.

And things like this are why I don’t speak children if I can avoid them.

If I did, there would be a lot of five year olds getting “YOU SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH” yelled at them and just… nobody needs that. Nobody.

Minus the being five years old part… I absolutely need that. On a pretty regular basis.

FYI, we’re closer to 2050 than we are to 1990.

You’re welcome.
