when will we be freed from studios using historically inaccurate hairstyles and armor in favour of something that would look more cool and appealing by today's aesthetic standards

Earlier I had a game with an Ashe and Cassidy duo who were engaged in what I can only describe as a Lovers’ Quarrel.. They spent the first half of the game fighting with each other, spamming “NO” at the other and jumping to their deaths. Honestly I was mad but it was also funny as hell. At one point the Cass went up to her and said “I’m your huckleberry.” To which she replied NO. and he promptly turned and jumped off the map

oh, when Orym looked right at Imogen, days after his talk with Fearne abt what to do if she switches sides, and tells her, "I'm not worried about you." and Imogen didn't insight check him, or push into his mind; she just believed him. and I believed him as well, even though it could have easily been a lie, and then Liam confirmed that Orym really did trust her when he said that. he really did believe that Imogen would stand by the Hells, and she did. she looked her mother in the eye and she didn't waver. and it's not specifically because Orym trusted her, but his trust really does mean something to Imogen. she sought him out that night for a reason.

and now the solstice is still happening but things are so different, and Imogen is one of the most vocally opposed members of the Hells to Ludinus, and the Ruby Vanguard, and Predathos. they're bad. they need to be stopped. she'll kill her mother, kill herself, if that's what needs to be done. her questions and her doubts are gone- or at least, hidden away.

and if they are not, if she's suspicious in any way, Orym has personal orders from the wise and benevolent Tempest (and she is wise and benevolent, is the thing!!) to remove her from the situation however he sees fit. to "do the thing," in the parlance used in Orym's conversation with Fearne, a phrasing acknowledged as vague even at the time. Orym, who loves Imogen, and who shows her kindness and empathy, and who stared the fathoms of nuance and pain defining the actors in this conflict in the face and rejected it in favor of revenge just last week. Orym, who told Fearne she would have to "do the thing" because he couldn't - I always assumed it was because he knew he couldn't match up to Imogen on his own, but it could just as easily be that he couldn't bear to do to her what he thinks would need to be done. Imogen still doesn't know they had that talk. the leash has been held so loose that she didn't even know it was there.

lol ok well I wasn’t sure what I was going to say in the exit interview meeting even as I was signing onto the call but I ended up being quite blunt. I didn’t call out my lead specifically but I was just like: the job I ended up doing wasn’t the job I was hired to do. my efforts to take on work aligned with the job I was hired to do were either directly thwarted or back-burnered for 6+ months even when I had white space on my calendar. there was significant lack of clarity around roles and scope of responsibilities within our team and that meant I was often sitting around waiting for small tasks to be delegated to me piecemeal by my lead (I didn’t throw her under the bus directly lol I was very much like ohhh idk just something about the way we delegate work was confusing!). I felt most fulfilled/productive the one time I was entrusted with a substantive project where I had a lot of agency to make decisions and implement my own approach… but most of the time I was just waiting around each day or each week for the next small disconnected task to be doled out.

anyway he was very receptive to all of this and actually expressed similar frustrations with the way our team seemed to keep getting pulled into these random projects that had virtually nothing to do with learning or development. I offered some ideas on how to set the next person up for success… and was pretty directly like instead of having a lead and a direct report who only handles things delegated by that lead I think this role might work better if the two people on the team had their own clearly defined domains of responsibility and were able to freely pursue their own projects without stuff getting bottlenecked due to chain of command issues. so like who knows 🤷‍♀️ but I hope I can leave things a little better for the next person.
