    sarah got an expansion of responsibility a few months ago

    a guy chose to leave rather than work under her, because he thought he should have been the boss (which I get)

    she was on a call with him to try and find out what stuff he's working on that she needs to know about before he leaves

    he's screensharing, opens up his inbox -- 14k+ unread emails

    hi pixelstix tell us about yourself

    i am sitting here at work supposed to be having a 1x1 with my boss but he is busy so he will "ping me"

    Hey y'all,

    I've been a PA reader for enough years that I feel old (27 isn't old I guess but it feels that way based on millenial standards... I don't understand Undertale for example). Basically I've tried to parley my borderline unhealthy love of gaming into a career, which means I test games for Compliance and dream of making my own throwback CRPG someday. These days primarily playing on my PS4 since my gaming laptop fell victim to a rogue glass of Coke.

    I don't usually get involved in forums but I figured I'd throw my hat in here and commune with like-minded 1337* playerz.


    *I am not 1337

    Hi pixelstix!

    You don't have to be 13 to understand Undertale; what is this nonsense. It's an ugly, kinda unfun, but unexpectedly emotionally moving little gaming experience about killing monsters and feeling bad about it!

    Most of the people in chat are in their late 20s early 30s, from what I can tell, with a few younger and several older.
    I am pretty new to posting on this particular thread, and it has been a very welcoming and rewarding community experience so far; I recommend it.

    They say credeiki's heart grew, like, a size and a half that day.

    I reside in the Montreal, Québec, where our Fearless Leader Justin Bieber Trudeau is 'from'. I assume I'm closer to Hockey Guy? I wouldn't know, my only contact with hockey is the sweet sweet Schadenfreude I get to experience whenever our home team loses.

    Technically you are insanely close to @21stCentury and also me since I live in Moncton, New Brunswick. So welcome to [chat] fellow Canuck!

    Oh haaaaaay :3

    Thanks for the sentiments. I knew I was right coming to these forums. And my amazing time management skills mean I only have some slightly tedious busywork left to do before I go home, so I can dabble here for a while.

    So what games are you QA'ing right now? It's OK you can tell us. Penny Arcade has a blanket NDA with all publishers and developers so go for it.

    Also @pixelstix you will find that [chat] is organized primarily by tribal affiliations and you'll want to either put your lot in with the Wendys or Five Guys crews or fight someone your first day or become someone's bitch your first day.

    The Cake 'n' Shake is a small local business in my recently gentrified neighbourhood, just around the corner, that sells nice sandwiches, lovely cupcakes, and delicious milkshakes

    and their signature item is one of those cupcakes blended into a milkshake, which sounds perhaps silly or gross, but actually adds a really nice rich texture to the milkshake along with some interesting flavour combinations.

    they are a block from the local brewery that makes really amazing saisons and sours.

    walking home is dangerous; it is almost impossible not to find yourself pleasantly accosted by some bearded, plaid-bedecked hipster handing you 3000 calories in a reclaimed, artisanal container

    why ever rock candy

    Iranians use it instead of sugar in tea sometimes it's called nabat
    The Nabat Confederation of Anarchist Organizations,[1] better known simply as Nabat (Набат), was an anarchist organization that came to prominence in Ukraine during the years 1918 to 1920.
    ...
    During the actions of the civil war, the Bolsheviks found it expedient to create an alliance with Nabat and Nestor Makhno because the Bolsheviks did not have a significant influence in Ukraine.[8] Nabat was in fact so popular that in October 1920, a delegation of the Red Army proposed to the General Assembly that they arrest Lenin and the other Bolshevik party leaders. Nabat refused the proposal on ideological grounds, since anarchists do not desire arbitrary power.[4] Despite being allied with the Soviets against the counterrevolutionary White army, Nabat severely denounced the Bolshevik regime as being authoritarian. The Bolsheviks tolerated the anarchist groups during the actions of the civil war, but quickly turned against them as soon as the threat from the White Army was taken care of and Bolshevik power consolidated.
