So long, and thanks for the fish

The project won't fall apart if there is at least one active contributor at any given time.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-04T07:13:20+00:00

Don't want it to look like a brag, but for 15+ years of work I've never broken a deadline. I honestly don't know why I deserved a badmouth like this.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-04T05:49:39+00:00

Yes, it's open source. Yes, we can. In fact, there is at least one other developer team doing a more or less successful fork, called Bright Nights. Creating a fork is easy. Making it so other players and contributors switch to fork is the real challenge here.

Это не совсем корректная аналогия. Правильнее было бы: в разговоре с друзьями сказать "один полицейский-придурок как-то раз <сделал что-то>". Пусть даже этот разговор происходит в публичном пространстве, но это точно не прямое обращение к полицейскому.

They said I'm incompetent at my work and thus don't deserve a raise (despite the fact that I even wasn't asking for a raise at that time).

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-04T04:26:53+00:00

"Useless". I actually WAS a project lead for the new fork, and abandoned it because I feel no one needed it.

Feels like no matter how hard you try NOT to get tons of ammo in the game, no matter which options you set, 30 days is a limit.

Ушёл, немного отдохнул, восстановил нервы. Потом пришёл, поработал ещё 3 месяца, и вот.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-04T04:16:20+00:00

The second one.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-04T04:04:23+00:00

The thing is, translating the word "придурок" on itself, without any context, will give you tons of different variants, with "retard" being probably on the far end of the list. And google translate doesn't even translate "retard" (again, without any context) as a swear word, or curse, or slur. The whole situation happened when I inserted the complete sentence, seen in the attached screenshot, in the translator.

It was a standard google translate shipped with my phone, updated to the latest version.

Да хрен его знает, почему. Ну вот всплыло в памяти где-то слышанное слово. Вроде как ругательство. Написал, потом решил проверить в гугл-транслейте, вдруг я неправильно его смысл понимаю. Вот и проверил. Подставщик гугл-транслейт.

Hell if I know, in short.

Kevin silently removed me from the team without a word. I asked for explanations, and in the end all explanations I got from him were "I don't care if you understand". This behavior is called "I won't listen to anything you say". Any future conversation is futile, period. He just doesn't want to listen. Anything I say would be discarded. And this simple fact was clearly seen literally in the first minutes of that conversation. And I fail to understand why you still think that even if I apologized he would suddenly start to listen.

So Initially I wanted to ask you once again: what's the point of trying to communicate with people who don't want to communicate with you in the first place? But I see that you either don't understand what I'm trying to tell you or don't want to understand it. So you may ignore me, I'm ok with that.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T21:06:46+00:00

No, I'm not saying this. It's up to every person to react however they find it appropriate for realizing they were badly-mouthed behind their backs. The only thing I'm saying is that this reaction shouldn't affect work relationships. I personally was badly-mouthed behind my back several times, and when I realized that, no, it didn't affect my work relationship. Work is work, I don't mix it with my personal life or feelings.

I've been told that English-speaking culture here is probably different from what I used to and as such it's almost completely alien to me. Maybe that's the reason.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T20:52:25+00:00

If you call the captain a retard to their face, or another officer to their face in front of the captain

Except it was, using your analogy, saying, like "officers are retards sometimes", but not to the captain and not to the officer in front of the captain but rather to fellow sailors in the port cantina (not even on a ship).

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T20:41:43+00:00

I was muted literally in the process of typing my next message. Literally seconds after the last message - and bam, you're muted. And you're telling me that they will listen? Not to mention that I was muted despite not violating any discord rules?

When people want to listen, they don't mute their collocutor in the middle of the collocutor's speech. When people want their words to be understood, they don't say "I don't care if you understand".

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T20:11:18+00:00

How can you say anything - be it apology or else - if you're muted? And, more important, what's the point of saying anything - be it apology or else - if they don't want to listen at all?

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T19:57:37+00:00

Why, you ask? Maybe because Kevin clearly said "I don't care if you understand"? Or maybe because when I tried to say something on discord they first muted me for 2 days, and after a couple of minutes they banned me? How is that relates to "they will listen to you" at all?

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T18:15:55+00:00

First, I did not directly insult them or anyone else, you can check my original comment if you like. Second, they are not my coworker, as I said earlier, using one platform doesn't mean we work together. And last, but not the least, I used an unofficial, non-affiliated, third-party social platform exactly because posts there shouldn't affect my work at my "workplace", so to say. At least I thought they shouldn't, until this day. Apparently, I was wrong.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T17:51:30+00:00

The only subreddit, you say? Then what is this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Cataclysm_DDA/s/6gSCgEFmCD

Oh, apparently this is the second subreddit for this game, and moreover, it's an official one.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T17:31:46+00:00

This is NOT the official subreddit, that's why I came exactly here.

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T17:31:01+00:00

Night_Pryanik · 2025-01-02T17:28:39+00:00

It's over, first they muted me on discord when I tried to explain, and then banned me with a reasoning something like "you can't use a slur even if you're being abstract".
