I have to make do with a KB-8923 from 1990. It's pretty good though, well ahead of any other I've tried. I suspect the unavailability of anything with PS/2 ports to plug it into will lead to its demise before it actually fails. Courage!
P.S. I would have posted earlier but needed two buddies to come round and help me turn it over to see the label.
with a huge following immediately publicly shames him
Could that be a huge following that largely stems from publicly associating herself with her employer?
Seems to me she wants to leverage that association for grandstanding & bragging rights but when it goes wrong it's suddenly her personal private opinion.
You know that cake I just ate? I want another and I want it NOW!
If you don't want strangers responding, then post it on facebook, or something where you have to explicitly be accepted (I think even twitter allows this).
Like emailing it to specific people. I believe they used to do that in the old days with a neat trick called lists or something like that.
But then you won't get the ego boost from all the views and thumbs-ups.
People discover that they don't like it being dark longer in the morning during the winter.
I'm not a historian, but I've heard theories that the reason it was introduced in the first place was because of something like that. Crazy talk, I know.
The disadvantage of doing maintenance is that all other developers are utter idiots who do it wrong on purpose. The advantage of doing maintenance is it exposes you to things you wouldn't have used yourself if you were developing it.
Once in a while, you might even come across something that's useful.
What's being on the clock got to do with it? Chris Langham wasn't diddling kids in the studio. Ched Evans was nowhere near a football field. They both got fired - and the second one was even cleared on appeal.
''Like, the next rando asshat who attempts to explain the concept of branching dialogue to me -- as if, you know, having worked in game narrative for a fucking DECADE, I have never heard of it -- is getting instablocked,''
This is about her work. It's traceable to her employer. It doesn't exactly radiate professionalism, does it?
Fries, a 12-year veteran of the company was also fired, [...] âoeHereâ(TM)s a bit of insight that I legitimately hope he reflects on: she never asked for his feedback,â he says. âoeThese are our private social media accounts
Private in the public/protected sense of the word? So how come Deroir was able to read and comment on it?
Private in the sense of personal? So how come she was wittering about work[1]-related stuff rather that posting cat pics?
[1] Using the word in its broadest sense. Definite B Ark material.

Wrong.
They spend more time at work.

Debatable, but anyway...

She isn't a game dev.
She's a narrative diversity coordination operative, whatever the fuck that is.
I mean she was.

What tense is that supposed to be?
I thought that was a child cruelty issue?
I bet they have a word for that. A word. A long one.

There's little point in me getting to school an hour before the prof, or to the supermarket before the staff.
And I hear there are these things called jobs where it's sometimes necessary for several people to be there together.
Which is a pretty rubbish comparison.
It's like saying there are more soldiers in the Irish army than there are left-handed catholics in the Chinese navy.
So the solution is obvious: send all the Indians to Neptune!
I get worn out doing all the thinking.
Bullshit!

Plus they sleep all day anyway.

You get a turtle to fix it.
She brought up "being a female game dev".
So even if she didn't specifically use the exact word "chair" there were plenty of mentions of things with legs that you sit on and have a back.

Because Wired has too many big words.
You consider this relatively mild?

Have you stopped taking your meds or something?
Deroir's post (though I don't understand the half of it) is at least polite in tone.
Her post was the one with the obscenities and personal attacks.
Do you even know when you're lying?

They should just get rid of all the morons they currently have & hire the MATE team.
If it's floating it must have quite a lot of water, or it'd be resting on the bottom.
Back then people knew how to use apostrophe's.
Oop's!
You, would have, a lot more time, if you didn't, put a comma, every three words, or, so.
