    It’s an absolute joke that fans of SC say ‘when you get a clear server it runs perfect’, because it doesn’t. I’ve been in a brand new, freshly populating, rebooted server. The game runs like ass, the bugs are still everywhere. it’s just a badly made game and the design ethos is “we added more time wasting for realism!” (when they’re pretending not to just be ship salesmen)

    Also, haven’t they STILL not decided on the final flight model for the game?




  • 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.
