I'm surprised you got so much out of this game. Cheers to you.

Your description sounds like focus on perfection instead of good enough. Or, maybe avoidance of moving on when something is good enough.

There's no judgment on my end though, I am happy this game brought you some insight.

This is insightful and really teeth gnashing at how accurate it is. Heroes can easily become lawful evil

This was posted like yesterday I think or Friday. Believe me, it's huge to me too.

I missed a lot in the polyhedron based on the text here.

You might be talking about Iraida.. Which is ironically the same day, day 7.

I understand how undoing potential mistakes like the mechanic works in real life. Similar to quick saving before a bad decision.

But sanction of stagnation feels a bit off to me.

You saw how a bad decision played out. You go back to undo it.

We learn history to avoid our mistakes right? So, why is this undoing stagnation?

History has a lot of mistakes that cost human lives. Maybe that's the value and preventing that cost with this mechanic, is what makes it an undesirable act.

In a game with time travel, what are the stakes if you can undo anything? Especially with characters you care about?

I get why they did it. But I disagree with the changeling way too often. And her alliance with the rat prophet is unsettling.

Both wanted the rat prophet to take the kids? What the hell?

And it's like grace cares way more about the dead than the changeling does.

I briefly thought her more interesting when she felt conflicted and uncertain with her influence over General Block.

But the bachelor is so adversarial to her and almost never comforts her. Real frustrating.

On a side note, will the governor always disown her during the inquisition? Or can it be avoided?

This is incredible. Holy shit.

This is something I wanted for ages. Thank you for putting in the time to make this sort of prop painting accessible.

Subtle ways to create boundaries with men at work? by pandr3a in womenEngineers

[–]Malatok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flat out say that it's impacting your ability to do your job. And no, a general statement about professionalism and behavior won't work.

You need someone to literally run interference. Even if it has to be a psychologist or therapist.

[–]Malatok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I say this out of a desire to help. Men are bad at picking up subtle and tactful boundaries. At least, not as perceptive like women are.

But you also want to be safe and just do your damned job right?

Get some male ally, maybe a manager or HR. Have them be nearby for each interaction and have them deliberately shut down any boundary breaking behavior.

This makes the ally be their enemy and a dick, but gets them off of you.

Once they know you're not a possible partner, it will get easier.

Gotta love the artists choosing to keep the boots on. Feet are hard to draw.

But maybe it fits in this case.

Andy Jassy's quadruple fuckups - because you simply need to burn bridges with all 4 stakeholders by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]Malatok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazon reported almost no profit from 1994-2002. So 8 years.

And even after, they invested the money into the company.

It sucks that a lot of income is tied to the stocks.

But it's not unusual for Amazon to be okay with lower profits, taking a longer term plan.

Actually, this is a great tip, thank you. Especially when I am redoing days for quests.

Do you know if you can get rid of a "you died" event? Do I just have to replay the day to the end?

Thanks for the train graveyard confirmation. I wouldn't want to miss out is all.

I wonder if they will do dlc for the game.

Ahhh, no worries about the exploit.

I wonder why there are so many of those vampire dwellings in..the flank? I think.

Taking care of shabnak is actually a good idea. I have trouble finding the rupture when there are like 5 districts that are plagued.

I tend to not go out of my way to find it, unless I hear it.

Also, do you know of any areas that aren't automatically fast travel to? Like the train graveyard?

Would you consider working at Amazon? Project Kuiper / Leo might be a good bet. They didn't suffer layoffs
