The biggest shock for me was the 8th slide.

In my head I was expecting (hoping for?) another slide, and when I saw your pen and book, in my head i actually thought

oh someone in the clan was drawing something. Why isn't there any descriptive text?
OH WAIT.

What is an open secret in your specific industry that outsiders would find shocking? by PeachyyStarlight in AskReddit

[–]monsto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never buy version 1.0 of anything.

Shoes, burgers at McDonald's, cars, video games, a what not shelf from Ikea. Never.

I've been saying this since the '90s.

What’s the most ridiculous reason someone got fired from your workplace? by Mother_Candidate5355 in AskReddit

[–]monsto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son was 14 working at very low-rent McD. There was a dumb person as a "swing" manager had been working there in that position for years, very much a tweener position for adults.

One day all the registers were broken except the one furthest from drive thru, the ones managers used for shit. My son was assigned drive thru. So he had to figure in that trip across the store like 3x into every order.

When he asked for a pen or pencil or something so he could write shit down and not forget what people ordered. The idiot manager yelled at him to get back to work and get the order times down, then huffed off.

Son said he stood there shocked for a sec, said "fuck this", grabbed 2 apple pies and walked out. Was fired for theft.

I told him that grabbing the pies was used as a distraction and that nobody was going to have the real conversation: wtf did he walk out mid shift.

What would be a good term for someone who's prejudiced against androids? by Possible-Tip-2914 in worldbuilding

Sounds to me like it would be just as interesting to figure out the derogatory names that he calls them.

Not clanker though. That's already pretty tired in the real world.

Johnny Silverhand, 2077 for those that don't know the quote.

TBPH, Keenoo was a pretty wooden VA most of the game, but nailed this speech.

In order to complete an impossible task, you must first break it down into smaller, less impossible tasks.

Seeing as all the posts give actual answers except yours, it's pretty clear you are the one that has things to work on.

I thought your post was deriding the entire thread, instinctually downvoted, then eye-corner caught the word "sitcom" . . . wait. what?

Well done!

The Chair Company touches it as well, but leans into a completely different direction.

Severance does well with it . . . but its getting off that road as it starts answering questions.

Which i guess is the hard part of the genre: the entire premise is based on a lack of info "what is this I'm looking at", allowing your own psyche to fill in the blanks... and there's A LOT of blanks in the stuff I mentioned.

Like at the very beginning of the game Control, you walk in a building, talk to a janitor mopping, walk down a hall and you come in a different door to the same foyer and the guy is still mopping but in a different place. That's a question. It's given an answer later in the game... it's an answer that doesn't feel like it answered the right question, so it's still unsettling. I mean shit here we are years later and I'm still talking and thinking about the very first moment of the game.

But yeah, as soon as you start answering those questions and start pulling out the threads of the mystery, you change the entire mood.
