Thinking back to the time I was being interviewed by a recruiter from Spotify, who asked me if I was in the Eastern time zone. When I said I wasn’t, they explained to me they could only hire from the Eastern time zone because everywhere else was too far away to overlap with their European offices.
Trying to cheerfully explain to them that there were, in fact, time zones east of Eastern time did not go over quite as well as I had anticipated.
Null Prof. DM is hyping up Deathbringer by saying it’s 5e with some streamlining and harshness. He also has spoken about it in the same breath as the OSR. And it’s now officially a Shadowdark hack.
OSR just means it’s printed in monochrome and looks like the art was done by Rorschach.
Well, that technical interview was a disaster. I’m glad it happened on an application for short term role. It’s a good reminder that the type of question companies say they’re going yo test you on might not be anything like the questions they ultimately ask, though.
nocturne Yeah. They just say “5e” without specifying 2014 or 2024, but I think the lack of specifying and the use of legacy terms is implying they’re targeting the original release.
Shilling for another Kickstarter I’ve backed. This one’s supporting PF2e and D&D 5e: Kib Kibones’ Guide to the Twin Realms.
A full setting, with new ancestries, monsters, items, and a new parallel progression track. It’s the first publishing project by the author, so the backer risks are maybe a bit higher than average, but I, personally, do my best to back projects that extend PF2e’s reach beyond Golarion.
Technology Connections Oh man, right-wing heat pump and dishwasher spaces must be in a wild tizzy this weekend. This is going to be worse than all of the people suddenly asking why Star Trek had to go and get all “woke”.
I’ve been on #Mastodon for a month now, and I’ve just been posting pics of my #cats
It’s amazing how quickly you intuited the rules around here.
Well, see, the thing is, if you actually review the output, you suddenly start becoming very critical of the technology, and nobody who desperately wants to be excited by it is going to do that.
I’ve been using LLMs to tailor my resume to various job postings, and the amount of editing I have to do each time is not insignificant. It’s only marginally easier than updating my resume by hand.
Randahl Fink They’re going to go where the people, and particularly the media, are. Not only are they not here, but quite a few of them got cold welcomes when they tried it out, and won’t be back.
They like their corporate ecosystem. They don’t like the rawness of the “real” Internet. This is why they all treated it like a smelly Star Trek convention before the iPhone came out.
