  • I feel like a lot of corporate bullshit is designed to exploit young and/or naive people. In my early 20s I happily worked until 10pm on projects in the office.

    Late 20s I’d become a (junior) company director and helped hire people*.

    After that I studied contracts with a fine-comb. Refused to sign for a surface-level great job with DRP Group cos they expected me to sign a contract without seeing the company employment manual.

    It’s why companies prefer employing younger people. They often don’t know their rights. They won’t know about thins like employment tribunals.

    After people have been company directors or freelance they often don’t want to go back into employment. There’s a reason for that - they know it’s a shit deal!

    *The older director ‘coached’ me to look for younger employees (easily manipulated) and not women in their late-20s to early-30s. Because we “didn’t want to have to deal with maternity”. Is it sexist and ageist? Of course it is, but how’re you gonna prove it?














  • I remember showing Ocarina to my dad and excitedly telling him it’s the peak of gaming and nothing would ever beat it’s graphics! Think I completed the game in 26hrs non-stop without sleep.

    I’ve seen it since and it’s so blocky I struggle to see how I ever liked it. So I will appreciate the memories instead. :)

    The N64 controller is my favourite ever controller. Bizarre shape but I had so many hours racked up on it in my teens that it holds a special place in my heart.

    Which Roguelikes do you like? I’m the same - hate them all for being overly difficult. Except original ADOM which I played constantly.
