I am one of those oddities that prefers working in the office. I would much rather be at home, of course, but I have the right combination of adhd and fatigue that means I can’t be productive at home.

Plus I am fortunate to live a 5-minute drive away from my office.

But shit, even I don’t want to be expected to be in the office every single day! And that’s working for a reasonable company and not some crunch mode dev house.

I still think there shouldn't be a crunch in the first place. People can wait. You can just not post a release date. Just make it easier on yourself and take the time to make a better game before all the libretube headlines are "GTA RUINED?"

Oh yeah of course. But who can be bothered to be decent to a bunch of other humans because some rich dudes that never talk to us really want a 12% return on investment this year rather than a 10% return. As always, the answer is money.

Also, hello other me! I have a beard though, so I must be the evil one and you’re the good one. Damn.
