#wasting company time

[tellnotalespod]

I have now officially been ✨terminated✨ (made redundant) so I can finally confirm without repercussions that it’s called Wasting Company Time because 99% of TNT S1 was written, recorded, and produced on company time 😌

The in-universe line about Leo ‘wasting company time’ by making their notes at work was added purely so that if my manager ever found it, I could be like…. noooo don’t be silly. I’ve never wasted company time in my life. It’s a reference to that one line of course. (and now I don’t even have to add ‘for legal reasons that’s a joke.’)

I’m hoping to make self-employment work full time, but if you see this post get deleted it’s because it didn’t pan out and I need to look employable again, so mind your own business

also not sure how I’m feeling knowing that thousands upon thousands of dollars and manpower have been spent on a rescue mission for four days straight when the submersible probably imploded as soon as contact was lost and has been sitting on the ocean floor this entire time lmao

one piece 1116 spoilers

When Vegapunk mentioned the Pirate King's crew knowing the truth the whole time, I hoped we would see Rayleigh,

and we did!!

but didn't expect him to be such a mess - even Shakky saying he usually doesn't get this wasted, it's interesting. When we saw him every time before, he was very put together and calm.

It must be painful and nostalgic to hear Vegapunk talking about the past, their crew and Roger, and then Rayleogh saying (similary to what Roger said at his execution which Rayleigh said he couldn't stand to attend), that the new generation has to seek out the adventures and the truth for themselves - repeating his words.

argh!!! the pain!

also

"Those who knew the truth just laughed" WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

Anniversary mini-sode idea: Vergilius hands Dante a "bonus" (read: the anniversary rewards) from the company as a reward for exceptional adequate work, then tells them to piss off into their office for an hour so the Sinners can fill out a manager evaluation form. The responses are technically anonymous per company policy but basically no one even tries to hide who they are in the responses anyway, so when you read up on the full responses in Dante's Notes later, it's labeled by Sinner because yeah, three guesses who wrote the response alluding to a different Color Fixer in every answer and imploring Manager Esquire to remain steadfast in the pursuit of righteous justice.

Also, can we talk about magic? i suppose they wanted to make the game more luring to new players, but magic used to be rare, closed under the lock and feared. Mages were feared and cosidered dangerous. Tevinter was an execption, not a general rule. How come people forgot only ten years ealier there was a regular war between mages and chantry, the very reason Inquisition was formed? Why is there magic, anciet elven magic behin every corner? It feels like reboot.

"It feels like reboot"

Because it is a reboot 💀 Or at least, it's the first step towards one.

Explaining how magic is seen in Thedas, all the different opinions and fears and hopes people have about it, would have been impossible in a single game clearly aimed at luring new players in. They put all the major pieces of explanation in the codex (one part of it is filled and complete since from the start of the game, because it's basically a catalogue detailing everything about Thedas), and let you play as a mage to your heart's content, with no strings, no responsibilities attached.

They tried to preserve some logic in Minrathous - there's mention of how Tevinter's families try to breed the perfect mages to rise in power and influence, so that's good. But you also see a "Noble" mingling with a "Civilian" among the fishermen, and telling her she shouldn't waste time and money on making things better for the poor people. What the hell is she doing there, then? Why isn't she in Minrathous proper, drinking wine and looking down on the poor districts?

Just around every corner, a few feet away from the closest tavern, Venatori are constantly putting up blood magic barriers. The same in the Necropolis, with the Venatori making camp just one door behind the main hub where the Mourn Watch is stationed. Everyone performs rituals, the Circles are barely mentioned, a Forbidden One is hiding behind a door in the Necropolis' main hall and no one ever noticed it before, not even Emmrich.

Statues of Fen'Harel and the Evanuris, elven relics and elven contraptions are hidden everywhere - everywhere. To show how vast and influential the elven empire was? That was probably the devs' intent. Does it always make sense? No. Is it for gameplay purposes, to fill the map with puzzles and stuff to find like in the 2000s? Obviously.

In Inquisition, there was an entire area of the Hinterlands ravaged by the Templars and rebel mages. The refugees were scared of walking the roads to find food because there was wild magic flying around. Rabid templars crazy on lyrium roamed the woods, and the Chantry was powerless.

Elven ruins were scattered around with sense, with a purpose, barely visible among the vegetation, forgotten and avoided, or almost forced to fuse with Chantry's buildings (just look at the Emerald Graves). There was a logic behind the NPCs' and props' locations in the world.

Here, there is simply no logic or consequence to anything ever. The Black Divine is never addressed, as far as I remember. Dalish clans have lost any distinction - the only elven faction you meet is that of the Veil Jumpers, which is a weird cocktail of elves who all know how bad the Evanuris are and random humans and Qunari. Yes, there are humans being allowed to guard ancient elven artifacts in a Dragon Age game. No, they are not called shem. Yes, they all get along swimmingly.

The Crows are not slavers and dangerous figures anymore - they're actually the heroes of Treviso! They treat their fledgling Crows with care and respect, no torture involved. Where did you hear such a preposterous idea? Zevran? Who's Zevran?

Taash says the Qun isn't a prison. How is that possible? They sent assassins after Bull when he defected. They hunt Vashoth and Tal-Vashoth if they dare leave, and if a sten loses his sword, he cannot return home, because his brethren would kill him, as "to a Qunari warrior, the sword is the soul."

So yeah, this was definitely supposed to be a reboot for Dragon Age, just like Andromeda was supposed to be one for Mass Effect. That's why everything falls flat.

Patches and printing!! I want some colourblend floss in this purple blue on the rails.

Playing around with carbon paper tracing cause I didn't want to sketch direct onto the lino. I'm editing the skull, the weight on it just isn't right.

Watched Alien 1979 after going to see Alien Romulus during the week; I give Romulus a firm 6/10. Massive points off for an obvious reason, and lack of emotional investment in characters - but an alright space-y monster movie.

so could I get the Christmas special? XD

For christmas Scourge receives: confusion. Christmas wasn't really a big thing on Moebius, not because it didn't exist, but because all the stuff it's about doesn't really gel well with the worldview over there; what's there to be happy about? Generosity and love? In Moebius? Your christmas present is not getting a knife in the back, how about that

So as a result Scourge isn't entirely sure which christmas traditions are normal and which ones are this new dimension being weird, but even with his lack of experience, there's still plenty of stuff he's pretty sure he's never seen at christmas before. Why are we pulling these small decorations until they crack and break open. Why do they have stupid little gifts and shitty jokes inside. What do you mean the day after christmas is also a holiday, what the fuck is boxing day? Does it mean he has official permission to beat the shit out of people? What do you mean boxing day has nothing to do with boxing? Why the fuck are you setting food on fire-

He is however delighted that he receives presents. At the same time as Sonic, too! And he's absolutely forcing Sonic to wear the silly little paper crowns from the christmas cracker the second he realises Sonic hates wearing them. It takes a lot of struggling, and maybe he has to resort to impaling the back of it on Sonic's quills, but hey, a victory is a victory no matter how long it takes. Even better, now Amy insists on taking a group photo as "a memory of their first christmas together" aka "proof that Sonic failed to avoid wearing the paper crown at least once". Doing mushy friend stuff may make his skin crawl sometimes, but he can tolerate it better when it's for the purpose of irritating Sonic, and thankfully, Amy loves doing "nice" things to irritate Sonic. He's also very interested in hearing the story of the time Sonic insulted Father Christmas to his face then swung him around by his beard

That being said, every single year he says if he has to hear one more carol singer, he just might lose it, and it's down to Sonic to distract him with insults and kisses when more inevitably turn up. Christmas is far from his favourite holiday, bit too jolly and full of yucky goodwill for him, but the freedom fighters and Sonic especially have made him learn to tolerate it

Heyyy it's that time of month again when bills are due, rent especially... so uh, I'm just gonna, uh, put this big fancy link to my latest patreon post here! .w.;

Have you ever wondered what Kilroy would look like as a pokemon? If you would like to find out, and see my progress shots making this pic, and also see, oh i dunno, several years worth of other secret drawings and wips of other stuff I've worked on, consider tossing 5 United States Dollarydoos my way! I would super appreciate it, and hopefully my hellish limbo-esque job search will finally be successful soon so I don't have to keep shilling my patreon every month! .w. Yeah!

i have to say its a strange experience taking classes on branding and marketing while being vehemently anticapitalist and scorning the economic system

[perilegs]

i'm in part charge of recruiting people for my department at work, and for our hiring offer we were about to write "minimum of [x years] of experience required," but i remembered how people with audacity will apply regardless of what it says, but that wording will push away potential employees, especially women, who are considerate and value the time of both others and themselves, and think they can't apply if they have, let's say a few months less experience than what we required, so i asked it to be switched to "around [x years] of experience required." and it's such a small change but it makes a big difference. and man idk what my point is but often it's good when you listen to people and their problems, so you might come up with low/no effort ways of helping even if it's just a little bit, instead of going "well that shouldnt be a problem, you should just act/do/etc. different"
