  • Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door, that way my boss can’t see me. Uh, and after that, I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too. I’d probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about fifteen minutes of real, actual work.

    The thing is, it’s not that I’m lazy. It’s just that I just don’t care. It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and the company ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing,I have eight different bosses right now!

    So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y’know, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.

    Now they are trying to offer me some kind of stock option and equity sharing program? I have a meeting tomorrow where I am probably going to be laid off.



  • In the first season they established a big difference between the show and the game. Spores aren’t really thing, it’s a cordyceps network. In season 1 they showed if you disturb the roots it alerts nearby infected to the location and they swarm. The roots were growing through the tunnels and were disturbed mid charge towards Joel and gang.

    I’m really curious how they will handle the Ellie and Dina scene later that involves spores in the game.

    They switched up the pairs for a few reasons.

    1. They wanted to give Dina more of a reason to go on the adventure with Ellie since she was also attached to Joel in this version. She is also going to be the one with the visual information on what these people look like and where they are.
    2. Since this is a bigger cast than just you as Ellie, I think they wanted to figure out how to use people more, so Tommy leading the charge made sense since they added the town attack. I’m sure he will feel a certain way not having been there when it happened.
    3. To give Jesse moe screen time early on since there’s still the likelihood we won’t be seeing him for a bit.
