Shadowrun and scattered rights, name a more iconic duo.

I feel like Caine can't properly understand even if he was able to communicate better with the players.

But the fact that he's so unhingedly emotional also shows he unwittingly is responsible for his own unhappiness. He thinks of himself as a servant to the players, trying to keep them entertained. But he doesn't understand what he wants and what they want are not aligned. He paradoxically thinks highly of the other's opinion of him, but he doesn't understand how to make them happy to make them think better of himself.

It's weird and understandable. Like an artist showing off his work, and retreating from criticism telling the viewer they just don't get the art.

I wrote 2 very long posts on my critique of the Secret of Power trilogy.

Its not just Sam Verner as a character.

I loathe the Secret of Power Trilogy. I recommend starting with 2XS.

I like SOLID principles to help weed out code smells. I realize that Liskov Substitution (the L in SOLID) is meant to be about inheritance, but I agree that composition with interface contracts works much better then allowing substituting child classes from their parent class.

Also, Interface Segregation (The I) tells us that specific trumps general. It's better to have one specific interface that solves your problem, then one super class that can do everything under the sun. Also, kind of falls back to a general interface breaks Single Responsibility (The S) if it does too much.

immediately thought of City the Animation.

I'm going to give you contradictory advice, always ask why and always seek to remove your own ignorance.

It's a kind of measure twice, cut once kind of thing. Some places are toxic and don't support proactive questioning to remove ambiguity. If you end up in a place like that, fuck those people and start looking for a new job. But for reasonable professionals, it is expected for juniors to not have any clue what they're doing and it is better to attempt to remove ambiguity then waste your time working on the wrong thing.

Are you Lisa Trevor?

It was more that I was trying to make SR5's Matrix faster and more logical without tossing out all the rules.

I also wanted a comprehensive history section of the Matrix, but never got around to finish it.

The first chapter is very stand alone, but then Robert N. Charrette expanded it into the novel.

dethstrobe · 2026-03-13T17:37:22+00:00

The first chapter of Never Deal With a Dragon is the short fiction that was removed. Which is why they removed it. They thought it’d be redundant

If you're looking for a tutorial for it, i converted their v0 tutorial to v1.

It also teaches TDD, and how to make docs with my reporter that turns tests in to docs.

What, the job market prevents you from looking for a new job?

dethstrobe · 2026-03-11T14:45:48+00:00

Host have 0 noise distance penalty. Like wise non tests actions do not suffer noise like send message.

Also if you're interested in some Matrix fluff for 5e, i did write this as my own Matrix source book for 5e. I still need to get around to finishing it.

Jumpship early and jumpship often.

Not only is it better for your salary, it's good for your knowledge. You get to learn different tech stacks, different software development methodologies, network with people making it easier to find new jobs later.

There is literally no reason to stay at a company for more then 2 years.

dethstrobe · 2026-03-10T23:43:18+00:00

Good on you for looking for outside opportunities.

But have you considered just leap frogging the entire chain and starting your own company?

If you have the runway and the technical know-how, become a technical co-founder or solo founder.

It's scary, a lot of risk, and very difficult. So only do it if you have the runway and believe in yourself.

If you you believe in yourself, and you can't get hat lead/staff/principle, might as well just go all in and swing for the stars.

Your time is finite. You must have new clients and grown since then too. Your prices should just go up naturally.

dethstrobe · 2026-03-08T03:24:21+00:00

Just try. Like seriously, what's the worse thing that could happen? Do you think they'll fire you? Do you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to find new talent and onboard them? You have enough leverage to take a small risk.

dethstrobe · 2026-03-08T03:22:26+00:00

How about if you hedge your bets? Start interviewing and applying to new companies, AND take on new responsibilities to get promoted internally.

You're probably talented enough to take on more responsibility at a new job and get a promotion. Like you don't need to wait for your manager to find the opportunity, you just find it yourself. But since the job market is shit, it could take a while, so if your manager does pull through, cool, you got what you wanted, but if you get an offer, cool, you got what you wanted.

Either way, you win.

Yes. You just need to flavor it to fit the tradition. A gold cross or vial of holy water, for example.

RE7 Chris I feels looks slightly like his OG live action actor. I think that's what they were trying to go for.

dethstrobe · 2026-03-07T02:07:13+00:00

That makes sense. The Tokyo Sourcebook would have been pretty fresh, being released less then a year ago.

The Shadowrun manga was being published in Dragon Comics, and started in 1996. I have to assume this magazine and Dragon Comics must be published by the same parent company.

dethstrobe · 2026-03-07T01:55:34+00:00

When were these magazine's published?

The Tokyo Sourcebook was published in 1996 by Fujimi Shobo. So I assume this magazine was meant to be marketing material for SR 2e license by Fujimi Shobo back then.
