I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

FACT: Movies are lying to you – beating up an inanimate object is not an effective way to deal with anger. Usually it just makes you angrier.
COROLLARY: Beating the shit out of an inanimate object is, however, often a very effective way to deal with *anxiety*.
CONCLUSION: Anxiety is punchable.

and
"yeah my coworkers use claude all the time. they keep committing crap that doesn't work and now i spend half my time fixing it"

Making references to 30 year old Sierra and LucasArts games are so overdone and played out, especially since there are 20 years worth of Wadjet Eye references that nobody has made yet.
While i agree i’d also then like developers to stop with the „a throwback to 90‘s… etc etc“ nonsense and stop including meta jokes about three headed monkeys and whatnot of 30+ year old games nobody remembers. We‘re also partly to blame.

I am really bad with maths. The idea of doing complex maths makes me literally panic. But! Weirdly! I like numbers! I like tracking things with numbers. Spreadsheets are nice. Number go up. Number go down. I can see that. It speaks to me. And a graph? Numbers but in a picture? Ooooh! I LOVE a graph.

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.
