  • Sounds like they need retraining or firing then. They need to learn some CRM skills.

    I shopped around and recently got a new CRM that works better for what our company is doing, and helps keep tabs on everyone’s workload and time tracking and it’s so good.

    And I’m not even managing anyone, my department is a one-man army. It’s just really really nice to be able to hold yourself accountable, take relevant notes for future reference, and see what workload I have every day. I’m still busy and stressed to fuck, but the load off my brain trying to remember every single job I have is phenomenal.

    I don’t need a meeting or a phone call or an hour standing at anyone’s desk, I just open a dashboard and go ‘Cool I can see what’s coming, whats been done, whos working on it, and all the documentation and logging I need to be informed about how it effects my work’ in seconds.











  • Sounds good! I’m going to start now.

    Unfortunately not anymore. I joined the course in the hope that I could get a career in 3D modelling and sculpting.

    They didn’t really talk about 3d until the second year when they hired a new tutor, and that tutor was just no help at all. I remember asking him all year to help me model a car, I really wanted to make a Nissan GTR and a Lamborghini Gallardo in 3D, and showed him my progress and what I was stuck on. His only advice was ‘do it in NURBS’, and nothing else. The cars never got finished.

    Then in the 3rd year, I was promised a work placement and even a student exchange program in Japan. Instead, I got the email address of a busy 3D modeller who didn’t reply to me once.

    The university didn’t care about me or my goals or my education, they just wanted my money. It really killed my dream and my passion for the job. I still keep tabs on all the cool things people are doing in the industry, but the prospect of joining them died with that course.



  • It was not the only true sin of cyberpunk. I played on release on a 3090 and it was bland, felt rushed, full of bugs, and the city felt hollow with things spawning in and out breaking immersion. It just wasn’t a fun game unless you stuck to the rails, and even then it felt half-assed. The intro where I’m rushed into the city and then they just skip over all the character introductions with a cutscene really left a sour taste in my mouth.

    They hyped it up to be this living breathing city with ultimate freedom and they simply didn’t deliver.

    Starfield, however, everyone knew they were using the same old engine, with the same old game design, it was just going to be Skyrim in space. And it was.
