Is the lover of hyperfixations and infodumps in the room right now?
The door hacking in Deus Ex Human Revolution. Each one was unique, could be solved by skill (speed and precision) or with tools (consumable items found throughout the game). It was a mini puzzle game each time you tried to unlock something.
At the time, I loved it so much I tried to build my own version but it never went anywhere.
Back when I was into forums, being active and contributing usually turned into being accepted in the community. With these Discord’s, I’ve been ignored and overlooked every time.
Being on the spectrum doesn’t help… It’s like you have to learn how to communicate all over again.
4 servers and counting… I feel you ):
So I'm not alone, then! Neat ^^
I’m on that brink between the two. My experience is that people are less likely to deal with inconveniences, especially during the ramp up period. There is a sense of immediacy that has been growing in recent years on all sides of work. Some people will feel as though demand on them increases disproportionately to the time and training provided them.
My parents always advised me to “Wait it out” if I didn’t feel comfortable or prepared to do the tasks a job required of me. However, while most places are slow to fire someone for not being up to task, there will be a good amount of pressure and expectations to succeed. Every job I’ve had, I could do the work, but didn’t know their proprietary systems or unique business processes in use. So while I interviewed well, I struggled to demonstrate my skills because of a ticketing system or set of forms required. Nobody was too friendly to someone who said they were good, but can’t hit the ground running.
Keep in mind, as others have said, that most younger people are only just now entering the workforce. They don’t know how to work, they don’t know what’s normal, they don’t know what to do or what to expect. They’re seeking a place where they can get guidance on how to be productive. Not in terms of micromanagement, but in terms of adequate instruction, offering of support if needed, and empowering them and providing them resources needed to succeed. If they aren’t comfortable, don’t feel the right vibe from the workplace culture, can’t figure something out… the patience for such things is very very thin. Not to say you should walk on eggshells, but as also said: they don’t have loyalty yet. Most young people see it as a necessary evil to work, and most companies something to tolerate, not embrace. They will bounce at a moments notice because they aren’t married to the concept of being a “company person”.
It’s a difference in how their work ethic is applied. They need that immediate return for their input. There is no safety in working towards something several years in the future if the future doesn’t exist, or won’t be kind to them. So they seek more benefits that are applicable to their daily/weekly life. I know you mentioned Europe, so they don’t face the American problem of being fired at will or layed off with no notice. But it is something to consider that there is seemingly no perceived value to staying at one place until you retire like was had in the past.
~ Just some thoughts.
LEGO Island was so awesome… been following MattKC for awhile now and was super pleased he took this on.
I had been looking into trying to remake the island in something more modern like Blender, but without reference or debug info, it’s difficult.
Hopefully this results in some newer and better ways to play. Though it will probably take a few years!
I may not be well regarded, but they just don’t know me yet.
Ah, just realized you’re on Lemmy. No worries! Basically, there’s a few different sites that are all talking the same “language”. So while you’re on lemmy.world, I’m on kbin.social, but we both can see the same posts and talk to each other.
I had a similar experience with Reddit trying to find support from the community there. ADHD sucks, and while having a positive attitude is good… sometimes you’re tired of being positive and want to just talk about what’s frustrating.
I’ve used the jump from Reddit to just… approach it more honestly. Everyone is pretty new to this mode of operation. Be you, be transparent, be kind. I’ve felt better speaking up here than I ever did on Reddit. Best of luck!
I hope so. My experience thus far between Kbin and Mastodon are very positive. ADHD, ASD, etc. seem to be more common, therefore better understood and accepted.
Everyone is different and struggles differently, but hey. Hopefully you find some friendly faces here ^^
The moment we’ve all been waiting for.
