Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".


Rules (Click to Expand):

  1. Follow the Lemmy.world Rules - https://mastodon.world/about

  2. Be kind. No bullying, harassment, racism, sexism etc. against other users.

  3. No spam, illegal content, or NSFW content (no games with NSFW images/video).

  4. Please stay on topic, cRPG adjacent games or even JRPGs are fine. Try to include topics / games that have a strong roleplaying component to them.

There’s a name for that phenomenon where executives have no experience with the actual product the company produces. Experience decay? Experience gap? This is gonna bug me until I find it

Two phenomena: The Perception Gap and the Leadership Gap

Perception Gap: A leadership team who's understanding of an organizations inner workings does not match that same understanding within the organization itself. (i.e. Amazon bathroom breaks)

Leadership Gap: The basic skills required to run the business are completely absent from leadership members, or who's scope of duty is misunderstood by leadership, adding unreasonable expectations. (i.e. EA project heads not knowing how dev environments are... developed)

Thank you, this would have bothered me for days.

There’s also “institutional knowledge” where you fire everyone with experience who knows how the company works/runs. The remaining company then repeats past mistakes and spends huge amounts of money reinventing the wheel.

No manager knows what the devs really do, it irks most of them and they always try to fake that they do (but they don't. Stop it it's always awkward.).
