Back In June Or So I Made A ~20 Page Document Of Various Terraria Worldbuilding Fun And Just Remembered

Played through Portal: Reloaded recently and got hyped about Portal all over again. Anyways here’s the Announcer, Wheatley, and Virgil.

sorry about your boyfriend. yeah he went to check on the octokittens. unfortunately the purring hoard hadn’t been fed in many decades. yeah sorry they devoured him. head to toe. yeah it was in 11.7 seconds. atleast by my watch

A very tired teenage bird shape-shifter. Sadly, that’s a side-effect of spending every night (and some of his days) out exploring and trying to get away from a political family. After all, he’s never in any place to inherit power -- technically he and one of his brothers are twins and therefore the same age, but he wasn’t cut out from the start for the hard political life like his three siblings.

not to be a history fucker on main but the whole mystery of the lost colony of roanoke is so fucking funny

Chell calls Virgil out on his lie, as much as a "mute lunatic" can do so.

The next chapter of Code Refactored is posted! AKA, more of the Portal 2/PSM core-human-duo teamup no one asked for, but I’ve been itching to write more of.

me explaining to my partner on a discord call why marble hornets and the magnus archives are totally set in the same universe

he found it. the Gender Fluid

Sticking some comments/observations about terrible job listings I’ve seen as of late below the cut.

I’ve been job-searching as of late and some of the job profiles I’ve seen are just. So pathetic, especially in terms of low-balling candidates.

I saw one that I thought was particularly bold with “this internship is unpaid, but we value our mentors’ time at $6,000/month” yeah well unless your internship program’s mentoring is paying 18k to my rent and groceries, I don’t care. I certainly wouldn’t pay that much for the pleasure of learning from you lot.

Saw one particularly bold opening for a web developer (? I think it was that) that was straight up “you won’t receive any compensation for your work until the finished product begins pulling income” Hello???? People join start-ups for the stock options, pay, and environment -- here, all you are is a guy with an idea who’s getting a programmer to make it for you for free, and maybe you’ll pay them if it becomes successful down the line.

One rather shifty job listing had something along the lines of “we’re a team of three with our own discord server; join our experienced developers in developing our start-up of a unique shopping site.” They’re three random guys in a Discord server brainstorming the 10,000th shopping site, they’re not even a real startup.

And all the unpaid internships!! Occasionally I’ll see one company spam-post a dozen+ unpaid internships all at once, all being full-time and having a huge list of qualifications and responsibilities. Pro tip: if a company is unpaid, uncompensated interns all the way down and they’re all working on huge projects that the company will be making a profit off of, it’s illegal.

Special shoutout to the companies that make you take a coding assessment before they’ll even consider your resume. I’m not great with leetcode and I recognize that it’s very common in the application/interview process for this field, but I refuse to spend a few hours on an online assessment or take-home assignment that was sent out to all 2 thousand of us applying for this role, only to be filtered out afterwards not because of the results of the assessment that wasn’t even looked at by a person, but because my resume wasn’t in the top 50 or whatever (also not looked at by a person).

Also just the general annoyingness that job sites get up to. The “recruiter” agencies that spam regular job listings with their “sign up and we’ll match you with a job” stuff. And the job sites that make you create a login just to apply, and then spam you with random emails about other jobs, etc. etc.

Also the random...spam jobs, I guess is what they are? Ones that are clearly duplicates of other listings, and don’t even have the company name changed. I assume they’re just to fish for personal information and add you to calling lists or something.

I dunno. This post is written more aggressive than I feel, I’m more just vaguely dissatisfied in a I’m-not-mad-just-disappointed way. Job applications hard haha
