Being a caregiver is relevant work experience if the job you’re applying to is for caregiving, or at least something semi-related like the medical field.
But if you’re applying for programming or sales positions it’s entirely irrelevant.
If you get any amount of work from recruiters they always call your references and/or your past jobs.
I’ve given a handful of people permission to use me as a reference and every single time, that person goes hunting and will work with 2-5 recruiters over the course of their job hunt and from each and every one I’ll get a 20 minute call where they grill me about the candidate. It’s kinda exhausting as somebody who isn’t in charge of hiring/firing.
I saw some “review bombing” on his game Heartbound.
heartbound is his game. It’s not published by the company he resigned from. It also isn’t just people review bombing it for some unrelated reason. His game has been in early access hell for years with no sign of ever releasing to the people who’ve backed him and paid for it. And after he started getting all this attention, various developers have been digging into his code and finding out that’s it’s coded horribly, and the chances of him finishing the game with the way it’s coded are low. And in PirateSoftware fashion, he’s been having his fanbase brigade, harass, threaten, and abuse the developers who criticize his coding instead of praise it, which has only made it blow up even more. It’s not review bombing of the reviews are legitimately criticizing the game. The fact that they’re so recent is because Pirates poor behavior is putting his game in the spotlight.
So my take here is that he was worried that reaction would spread to the other studio
Your take would be wrong. He didn’t say he resigned because he was worried about the publishers games getting potentially review bombed in the future. He said they had been review bombed, in the affirmative. Which was yet another PirateSoftware lie.
I disagree, but I don’t know much about him.
Well this keeps coming up and it’s getting really weird that you keep making the point of “Here is my opinion on something, strong enough to believe others are wrong, even though I’m ignorant to most of what’s going on here”.
Perhaps before you make any more assertions you should just go and… figure out what it is you’re talking about? I don’t mean to be rude but your opinions just mean less than nothing when they’re admittedly based on ignorance. Ive explained a lot to you here and it’s not even close to all of it. Before you go defending him more, you should see what he’s actually about.
I don’t think he’s been swatted. In fact, a lot of the “backlash” that Pirate has complained about has also been debunked.He said he had to step away from his role at a game publisher because people were “Reviewing bombing all of the company’s games”. Somehow he didn’t realize that game reviews are public and in the case of Steam reviews very detailed. People went right to the Steam reviews and found that literally none of the games had been review-bombed.
On the contrary, since the backlash started he’s been calling for his fans to brigade and mass report anyone who criticizes him, live on stream. He filed a lawsuit against a guy who made a game and put a cameo of Pirate in his game as a cockroach wearing Pirates signature wizards hat. (A cockroach is the wow term for people who do what Pirate did)
As for the resignation, generally companies don’t like to have people who are ongoing, unapologetic public menaces to be the faces of their company. Any consequences Pirate faces are all of his own doing. If you’re going to be a public figure, you have to understand that you’re going to be held accountable for your behavior by somebody.
Isn’t that par for the course for streamers/youtubers though?
No.
I’ve seen people claim to be “indie game devs” when they’ve never actually released a game, or if they did, it made so few sales as to be little more than a hobby.
That would in fact make those people indie game devs. Thats not a high bar to meet. Pirate likes to word it as if he was a game dev in the industry, and often leaves the context of him just working in QA out. As for the cybersecurity role, his role dealt mostly with the human aspect of the business. Compliance, awareness training, etc. the most active things he did were social engineering phone calls. Yet he has explicitly calls himself “a hacker”.
- they’re all working their way to the boss together
You’re missing a step here. 3.5. He chooses not to use the items he has that would have restored his mana. Which changes number 5 a bit as a consequence.
he gets roasted for not helping out, and
explainslies that we has out of mana and couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to (Even though he could have. He just didn’t want to)
Maybe he’s as bad as everyone says, but I haven’t seen enough actual evidence of that.
Well you have done a pretty good job of focusing on just two of the things he’s been in hot water over, and avoiding all the other evidence that’s out there you haven’t seen. So yeah I wouldn’t want you to jump on a bandwagon without any evidence, but at the same time you’ve explained that you haven’t seen most of the evidence. So I’m not sure what the point of you weighing in here against the people who have seen all the evidence, from a perspective that hasn’t seen the evidence is.
There are hours and hours of video, photo, and written accounts of other events so I’m not just going to recap it all here for you, but it’s all out there for you to find. One of my favorites is when he’s playing another MMO on stream and a dungeon run his party does is ruined by someone accidentally pulling an extra mob. Pirate proceeds to be a huge dick about it. He doesn’t give the person who pulled it the benefit of the doubt like you have to Pirate. At the end of his rant it’s pointed out to him by his own chat that he himself was the one who pulled the mob lol. After which instead of apologizing, he then says he’s not sorry about what he did. He’s so unabashed about his view that only other people make mistakes.
None of those substantiated the existence of an Apple-made back door.
The WoW thing wasn’t about being selfish, it’s just one of a dozen or more incidents of him being a narcissistic bully who screws other people over and can’t take accountability for anything.
And nobody is giving him too much shit for simply being a nepo baby. The Blizzard thing is about him being a fraud who’s been caught repeatedly lying and misleading people about his credentials and work experience in order to appear like an expert. He uses his time at Blizzard like a magic wand to expel criticism, going so far as to misrepresent what he even did at Blizzard to appear like an authority when people criticize him.
The backlash against him has been well earned by bad behavior over a long period of time, most of which involves him treating other people poorly for his own benefit.
PirateSoftware is being harassed for a whole lot more than just his SKG misinformation campaign.
Worth it to note that you don’t need an app to do this. It’s very common for cops to work off duty private security for retail stores, in uniform, with a full ability to make arrests.
WW1*
Tolkien was a soldier in WW1 and his experience as a soldier would have had an effect on his writing, especially considering the Lord of the Rings books were written before and during WW2, which he’s also denied had any influence on them.
Depends on the game. For very linear narrative heavier games that are glorified visual novels, like SOMA for example, yeah probably.
For most games though no not at all.
They sorta look like they have the exact same focus
The problem isn’t really CSS, it’s that each theme has its own components with their own rules you have to learn. There’s no real standardization even within one kind of SSG.
It would literally be much easier to just write everything the old fashioned way by hand.
You can tell OP is a younger Gen Z by this post lol.
It sounds like a stupid question but if OP isn’t 30+ it’s perfectly understandable to not be aware of the former ubiquity of self hosted blogs.
SSG are really a pain in the ass to work with, especially if you want something other than the standard theme.
Port scanning in and of itself is not really abuse.
Being a script kiddie that’s abusing AWS abuse report process on the other hand…
That’s sounds truly awful lol
PS5 has plenty of console exclusives, they’ve just been porting them to PC after awhile which technically makes them no longer “exclusives”, even though the only console you can play them on are PlayStations.
