<Fogie> you keep changing your declaration of how many coders are going to quit
<Supernorn> digital millenium rights act extraordinaire TheNewTeddy
<TheNewTeddy> huh
<Erik> hahahaha
<TheNewTeddy> I'm a politician. I've run for office before
<TheNewTeddy> I know that what it looks like is how people think it is
<@SpyGuy> No, you're a lazyman.
<@SpyGuy> You've run from office.
<Erik> LOL
<phart> well played spyguy
<TheNewTeddy> if the goonstation admins have said they'd release the code, and that official code has vanished under some excuse of a licence something, and, then they DMCA the leak, and get rid of all leak sources online, it will look like the admins lied about just about everything
<TheNewTeddy> perception trumps reality
<Fogie> otoh a fart coming from a butt
<Supernorn> admins lied, codebases died
<Supernorn> mods knew
<Erik> Supernorn the super litigious.
<Supernorn> my hourly rate is $400

<phart> isnt ss13 literally 75% stealing code history-wise
<@SpyGuy> I have carefully analyzed this sentiment and I have reaced a conclusion.
<@SpyGuy> Reached, even.
<&Haine> not really phart
<Fogie> all those reddit and 4chan fans suddenly will turn on goonstation!!
<@SpyGuy> My conclusion is (  )  )=3



HOURS LATER


<~wonk> Urs
<~wonk> the dmca request went out before we decidd to release
<Urs> Oh
<~wonk> so it happened but after we said we wouldnt
<~wonk> so it looks bad


<TheNewTeddy> also I said this would look very bad - and everyone in IRC made fun of me. just wanted to point out I was right.

The problems with destiny

1 - Everything is cramped. It feels cramped. The map seems to have been designed to make everything feel cramped, when in reality, the map is very large.

2 - The hallways and other public access all feel extremely closed in. It is shaped like a Y or a T so there is only way one way to go, unlike the "round" shapes of other traditional maps, including the "big shuttle" that was just posted, and Butterfly, and Cog1, and Cog2, and Donut, etc etc etc.

3 - The map uses the old tileset. Okay maybe a lame complaint, but still, it helps make everything feel cramped.

4 - Despite feeling so cramped, the map is fucking huge. The long spire at the top takes forever to walk, and contains so little, but, things you sometimes want and need. Not long as you forced to walk, but you are forced to do so in the same puny little hallway.

And the worst

5 - The map was made by Haine. Haine is very nice. Why couldn't the map have been made by an asshole? Seriously. This would be so much easier if some asshat made the map, but fuck, no, it has to be someone who is actually nice.

Context

Welcome. You are here because something you said made no fucking sense. Why is that? Chances are you missed some context. Here are some examples.

"LOL Trump"
"WTF"

Clearly this person either does not know who "Trump" is, or, does not understand why you brought him up.

Perhaps you said

"Bob called, but I wasn't home, and now I'm very upset"

And this confused someone else. Someone who does not know that Bob does not have a phone and so can not be called back.

So welcome, if you find yourself here it's because you've not only said something without providing the needed context...
but you've refused to provide that context when I WTFed all up in your face.

This is my way of saying PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT without screaming at you on whatever forum, in whatever chat room, or on whatever tweet you've decided to make.

Lies

Okay so as you probably know, on the 15th they switched servers.

This was sparked by a solarium and a disaster round.
After which it was announced all servers were becoming RP.

And all servers did become RP.
Okay, I'm fine with that
But they, without warning, switched to Destiny.

I, being smart, figured out this was *actually* the transition where 1 and 5 are fixed, and asked when 5 would become non-RP, in private. Not in public because I'm not the kind of arse that would ruin this for the admins, but in private. I was told that all servers were remaining RP. Again, I'm fine with that, but I asked when Cogmap would return, and was again told it would not.

Keep in mind that I asked in private because I wouldn't ruin the fun by telling everyone.

Anyway, it later because clear that, in fact, they were doing this as they switch, 5 would become non-RP and 5 would have cogmap back.

Keep in mind that I'd accurately guessed this and would have been given a pat on the head, a cookie, or some other reward for being smart.

THIS MADE ME REALLY VERY VERY ANGRY

Keep in mind that I was nice enough to not ruin it and smart enough to guess it.

BUT NOBODY CARED AND SO I GOT MAD





...anyway can you make me an avatar to reflect someone with that kind of personality?

Their top sub count was 14,080,108, this was 7 days ago. This has been going on for a week.
They are currently nearing 13,642,000 as I write this.
They've retained 96.89% of their pre-scandal subs.

And the rate of loss is slowing ever quicker. I can't see them losing more than 5% at the end of the day, and losing over 4% is growing more unlikely.


This post is so I can give this information quickly and easily to people who claim to know what's going on but really do not, and say things like they've lost a million subs in a few hours.

I lost my job today

So, I no longer work at a computer store.

When I applied it was with the idea that I'd mostly be working up front, with customers; working the cash, and maybe fixing computers on the side. I think somehow things got a bit lost, and it was always seen by the boss that I'd be the guy working in the back, fixing computers, and maybe helping customers on side. In fact, he hired another lady who is mostly a "front" person at the same time.

Anyway, there were two key problems. One is that the store is not busy enough right now to keep two people on full time, and another is that I just don't know enough about computers to fix them professionally.

So it came to a head and my boss let me know that today was my last day. He seemed pretty bothered by it, he's a nice guy, and I don't think he likes letting people go, but I understand that you do what you gotta do. I swallowed any emotions and just spoke with him logically, and said I wanted to have him as a friend (and I do) and that I might not want to chat much with him this weekend, and he understands.

When I left the store I thought "I don't know what I'm going to do" but it quickly dawned on me that, frankly, I do. I'll be handing out resumes starting monday.

This is, quite bluntly, the absolute best time to lose this job. Because of the way ODSP works (social supports I'm on) I will still be feeling the positive financial impact of this job at the end of march, which is plenty of time to find a new job, and just when the ODSP bonuses dry up, I'll, hopefully, be getting a regular paycheque at another job.

Reason two this is a good time to transition jobs is that starting monday, a bus starts between my town and the one next door. While two times the size in terms of population, there is at least three if not four times the employment opportunities, fueled by some of the large malls, and Wal-Marts, and so on. Thanks to the bus these places, never before accessible, now are.

Reason three is that tomorrow I get my ODSP money for the month. Telling me that I am being let go today means I've not spent any of that money. Compare this to telling me a week from now, when I expect weekly paycheques to keep me going, after I've blown a good portion of my ODSP on pizza and fortified wine.

As such I am, literally, 'not even mad'.

There is, literally, no better time to find this out, and, due to the fact that the most I could really ever hope for at the store was 10 hours a week, or 20 at the best of times, I can now go and find myself a full time job; with a reference from a local small businessman on my side.

As such, when I first found this out, an hour ago, I was expecting to come home, curl up in my bed, and not want to be bothered by or bother with the outside world for a few days. Now I'm debating who I'll chat with, and how I'll have fun for the rest of the evening.

While losing your job is never a good thing, I do think that this is, quite literally - down to the flipping minute (I had just enough time to go the booze store before it closed) - the best time to lose my job*, and as such, I'm actually quite energized to go out and find a new job - perhaps at McDonalds where I have years and years of experience.

*I'm pretty sure he knows all the timings, and timed it this way on purpose; and for that I can't thank him enough.
