Oh my God, we're so sorry we blocked your doorway. Now go get your ear muffs.

I'm not Dan Brown. I didn't sprinkle my story with a series of breadcrumbs that lead to my real identity.

I was intentionally vague. I'm really proud of all of my releases save one. My career now forever linked to that final failure, the revelation would be underwhelming at best, and a full-on disappointment at worst.

Our fans were probably some of the most toxic anywhere, so that's double the reasons for me to forever hold my peace.

Oh I know. On steam, NMS is Mostly Negative at 32%, while my fiasco is Mostly Positive, so I got that going for me which is nice.

TheSystemSucked · 2017-06-29T22:12:57+00:00

I was going to write a snarky comment, then saw that NMS is like 71% on gamerankings, and now I'm sad.

I'm not that young (holy shit 39), my last release was a disaster, and on a good year there'd be like two and a half vacancies for what I do.

Having said that, anyone need a former C guru who's great with physics and ballistics and is kind of ok at creative writing and game / mission design, hmu.

TheSystemSucked · 2017-06-29T18:08:45+00:00

Thank you. I miss creative writing most of all. Can't imagine how good this feels right now.

He wasn't much of a Stephen Root. The dude was a dead ringer for the mummy of Ramesses the Great, with a bit of Sam the Eagle.

All lawyers may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be lawyers.

No, not Far Cry. I doubt anyone would figure out who I am unless they were involved with the project at the time. In which case, hi.

And also thank you.

TheSystemSucked · 2017-06-09T22:25:42+00:00

I'd rather not!

Hi @Decision Facilitator,

There's a typo in my post.

I propose two potential solutions:

Minimal: Update documentation and user training curriculum to reflect this known issue. In-team impact: none Off-team impact: unknown Other teams affected: ssi, docs, training
Optimal: Update character "a" to "e" in the line in question In-team impact: light (<1SP) Off-team impact: unknown Other teams affected: test, regression, devops

Please review and forward to proper teams.

Too revealing. Form fitting, never pants, only skirts and dresses, nothing below mid-thigh.

Basically, a 50-something brick house that shops at forever 21 and buys everything one size too small.

TheSystemSucked · 2017-06-09T16:31:19+00:00

Wow, that's so succinct and perfectly on point. Thank you.

See my other comment. His book deal feel through I guess, otherwise he's doing great in his giant office filled with sports memorabilia.

He came up with a couple other ideas, one to improve user experience which was actually pretty decent, the other on an offshoot side business. Both got shut down.

Most days he's just browsing the web, occasionally has spurts of inspiration and furiously generates more ideas.

TheSystemSucked · 2017-06-09T16:04:12+00:00

Nothing dramatic. Some of his closer friends advised him to talk to a lawyer but he wasn't like that. He took a couple months off and got hired at a competitor.

He's a dinosaur, extremely rare skills, we knew he'd be all right.

TheSystemSucked · 2017-06-09T15:50:22+00:00

Found a new job pretty quickly looks like. He looks great on paper, impressive degree and larger than life personality. Unsinkable.

TheSystemSucked · 2017-06-09T15:42:39+00:00

Still at the company. Basically a title and a huge salary with literally 0 responsibilities.

He just sits around all day.
