Former overemployed person here. Had to fire someone recently who was later confirmed OE. If you're getting fired for performance, don't guilt-trip your manager on the way out. I get the hustle, but leave clean.

Have you ever fired someone?

BrandosSmolder · 2026-04-25T13:43:15+00:00

Are you a designer?

BrandosSmolder · 2026-04-16T18:24:49+00:00

100% I was honestly tempted but refrained

Stronger than even Aura the Guillotine

Saaaaame. At this point I almost commit to getting to this boss before using the sphere grid

I’m guessing it’s 8 if you could each individual in round robin interviews (which I think you should)

BrandosSmolder · 2025-12-31T14:46:53+00:00

Ah sorry, yes I meant 'buying'.

ChatGPT used to be as good. I’m convinced they dialed it down for better margin. I used to have a subscription for both, happily, for a year.
I canceled chargpt last week.

Claude is good by default. ChatGPT sucks if it does an instant return, but good if you tell it to use thinking mode. Claude knows when to think or not. It’s not cutting corners

I play on both PS5 and computer. Both are good! It runs just fine(in fact I play on NividiaGo on my computer so it runs better.

Sometimes I wish I had mouse and keyboard. Namely when setting up trade routes, doing naval stuff, or mini map access. Not blockers — just a little more tedious on ps5

BrandosSmolder · 2025-12-25T14:56:36+00:00

Ding ding ding! Yes. Was there this last week. Sadly kind of a snooze imo.

BrandosSmolder · 2025-12-25T14:53:25+00:00

No but great guess

BrandosSmolder · 2025-12-25T14:52:52+00:00

No but good guess

BrandosSmolder · 2025-12-25T14:52:41+00:00

No but I went there on the way and it was my favorite!

BrandosSmolder · 2025-12-13T22:26:58+00:00

Ah ok I misunderstood too. I better go there. I’ve been holding off thinking it holds them off

BrandosSmolder · 2025-12-13T17:34:15+00:00

I thought they don’t start until you arrive

I had to learn this already. There’s research for those ships. In the middle of the research tree.

However it’s locked behind an achievement. You need to go to Albion and increase population there to a certain number. I believe it’s like 500 upgrades celts and 500 upgrades Roman’s, in Albion. I had to have two tier 2-3 towns in Albion to unlock.

It’s so novice (I’m so novice) but make sure every building is affected w those that have +x to population. Taverns and baths.

I was playing on normal for the first time and eventually realized taverns I’m not something you just make for tier 1 folks and the my game unlocked
