its that simple
tbh, most game dev places SUCK to work at
As a self identifying Windup duck, I've oftened wondered why people don't just randomly give me money when they are passing near me. Now, I must assume they are WindupDuckAphobic.
not even valve, apparently, is that great either
if recent news is to be believed
tbh, I feel like most stories are exaggerated,
The average person is not that smart 😛
actually so true it's painful.
what she probably experienced was more nepotism that anything
yes
which is like "welcome to the real world"
my perception of "Professionalism" got ruined during my internship,
Where i could get away working for about 1-2 hours per day, still met demand
And could convince my direct superiors I was working long hours cuz they didn't understand code
that
and that most companies seem to have a vague feel of "one thing fucks up, its all over"
ye
but as for Nepotism
"Friends helping out friends"
Join their faction?
Become their friends, so that you're the next one that gets pulled ahead
I believe there are problems in riot
Imo
Plenty programers are autists
and nerds suck at dealing with women
With spagheti in their pockets
true, Beta males are a nightmare
You need to anticipate that when wanting to work there
some just can't talk to them, others see them as "inferiors", others might act normal
Or make your own company
and others think that "acting super nice" will get them a date,
And then get vengeful when you say no 😛
yep
But notice that kotaku is atacking principle of meritocracy
like, i was friends with mostly nerds in school. i was the only one who could talk to girls without effort
Somebody send this article to sargon
and i felt so bad for them
I have a feeling its right down his aley
because htey were nice guys, but they just could not get their feet out of their mouths
50% of "nerd" cases is also how they present themselves, not just talking
Yep
mhm
but a greasy guy, with one of those bowl-haircuts, and a worn/pulled shirt and big glasses
is not gonna be appealing
i once had a bowl cut and have glasses
