I was a patient reader and just finished the last Expanse book last weekend (it was fantastic). Now I’m having to work very hard to remain patient for this game. I may buy it just to support the franchise and play it on my own time later.

“When you look annoyed all the time, people think that you’re busy.”
I’ve lived by this advice my whole career and it’s never failed me.
The acquisition of upvotes is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better Lemmy and the rest of the internet.
It really did make my day to see it pop up here. Thanks for sharing, and glad you liked it.
Been in IT for over 15 years and this was exactly what I was thinking too. But the top is how I felt 10-15 years ago. Now, after years of dealing with the dumbest users and the craziest decisions from tech companies, I’m more Shaw than Picard.
Oh wow, I made this meme! So happy to see it shared on Lemmy, my new home 🥹
I feel like I’ve seen enough to say that this is likely real and you are probably correct. I’m struggling to figure out how to prepare for this though. Are there companies or industries that we should be investing in or something?
I joined a hotel company a couple of years ago where they offered stock options, which is good and I appreciated it. But there were a lot of people that had worked there for decades just because they felt invested in the company. Meanwhile, working conditions were absolutely awful and the culture was the worst I’ve ever experienced. And I kept thinking how crazy it must have been during COVID as the stock tanked and everyone was staring down the barrel of layoffs. Like, if your employer is your entire retirement plan then you could be in huge trouble all at once.
Florida? Been here most of my life and I just assume they’re in any body of water. They’re that common.
I ran into this as well and honestly just can’t believe it. Like, this is something my grandparent would think might happen and I’d laugh at how silly it is. Yet here we are.
I get that, and respect it very much. You care about others and the community you’ve helped create. But Reddit is now actively exploiting that care for their own profit. Reddit draws value from your community and the advice it offers others. If that advice is poor then yes, people will suffer, but that’s on Reddit for allowing this all to happen how it has, not you.
Exactly. And it’s driving me crazy how many mods are caving. Like, I get that you care about the community and want it to continue on, but will it even be the same now that you know how little control you actually have? Will it survive the next insane, profit driven decision Reddit makes and refuses to negotiate on? Just rip the band-aid off now like /r/interestingasfuck and others did and let them remove you. We’ve seen that they can’t actually replace what was lost, so let them try.
Have some respect for those of us waiting for Xbox 🥲
