Sub for any gaming related content!
Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little โ ๏ธ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
No, they kept all the middle managers on so they can schedule meetings and give each other raises.
So much snarky hate from baby coders but can you imagine if you had to be a person and pick up the phone and actually talk to your customers. Or actually manage your own time and stay on task?
The horror.
"I know what will help these idiot coders manage their time better: more meaningless meetings with middle managers patting themselves on the back"
I love how you judge them all by stereotype in classic tech bro I know better than you peak form.
Perhaps if you'd get over your density, you'd realise that a lot of developers (myself included) do manage our own time. That take of yours isn't it. You may want to reconsider.
Yes, the most successful companies are always headed up solely by devs and engineers. Got it ๐.
Ah, my hopes were too high, it seems.
I've probably been coding for longer than you've been alive, champ.
