  • I almost always played solo because I liked exploring and crafting and doing things at my pace. Whenever I had a group, I felt like I was pressured to move move move and finish as much as possible without absorbing the environments or reading the matching story lines.

    I was able to finish a few of the low level instances, but was rarely able to find a group to run with and thus usually just skipped over any quests that required them. Sure, picking up some legendary gear would be nice, but I would have just loved the option to stroll through these quests on my own.








  • I think as individuals, most all of them are opposed to child abuse. Protecting children from “woke groomers” is one of their unifying battle cries.

    Sadly, their tribalism is stronger than their concern for the kids. Once one of their own is accused of child abuse, they rally to their defense. In their mind, they are the good guys, and someone who’s on the “good guy team” could never do something like that. The only reasonable explanation is that they were wrongly accused or there was a terrible misunderstanding, or sigh they deserved/ asked for it.

    Of course, this rabid tribalism attracts MORE predators. As long as they can convince everyone that they are “one of them” they know that they can get away with a few more lies than if they were hanging out with independent thinkers.










  • I’ve been on both sides of this and when you’ve spent the whole day talking to a dozen people who all seem competent enough to do the job, you go with the person that either has a little more (or more relevant) experience, or whoever you enjoyed talking to the most.

    I’m a huge dork, so if you happened to mention something like D&D or Fallout during the interview, you’re probably going to get it. (Assuming everyone is equally qualified.)

    But at the same time, I’d never mention anything like that at an interview, because I wouldn’t expect the interviewer to appreciate it.
