Trying to maintain some anonymity, but it depends on the type of practice. For the kind of law I practice, we are equivalent to Kirkland. I couldn't tell you offhand for employment litigation, but I'm sure we're OK. A bit under 1,500 lawyers globally.

 

[Alienman]

You here hoping to make a case?

I just meant within the funds space. I hope your working conditions are better than Kirkland’s.

Do you have strong feelings about Erica Berthou?

Not sure I follow. But if this answers your question, as an associate in a different practice, I wouldn't stand to gain anything financially as a result of any case. For reasons stated above, I just felt compelled to post after reading Chris's account of his departure and related threads.

I hope your working conditions are better than Kirkland’s.

Sadly, we're equivalent there as well.

Do you have strong feelings about Erica Berthou?

No sir. Never worked across from her. Though I suppose it's good to see a female funds partner. They're exceedingly rare in my experience.

rhollis Where do you stand on elf genocide?

rhollis Where do you stand on elf genocide?

You are manipulated by the jews dwarfs. There is nothing to be gain from killing a bunch of tree fuckers,but think about all that gold and silver in those underground cities. What kind of barbarian are you to not go for the plunder and the beer and decide to go hiking,don't you have at least smug of self respect???

 

[ERYFKRAD]

don't you have at least smug of self respect???

Got plenty of smug, seeing as I am not an elf.

There is nothing to be gain from killing a bunch of three fuckers,but think about all that gold and silver in those underground cities

Killing treefuckers is it's own reward.

Meh,fake barbarian! Killing is its own reward for everything,still better to kill and get loot and beer than just to kill some random beasts in the forest. Also dwarf stomping is a lot more fun!

So you do admit elves are beasts.

When did i defended them? I am human supremacist! All other races should be ruled by humans,some even exterminated like dwarfs,goblins,lizards.....anything that can't be fucked by humans should be eradicated!

[Mr. Hiver]

First post. Probably violating numerous forum rules,

Nope. None.

You are all good.

In fact, thats probably the best kind of first post anyone ever made around here. Please proceed.

Wherein Chris loses the plot

QA is a skilled profession, is an integral part of any development team, and should be treated, paid, and respected at the same level of the other developers. Without this, the game and the culture suffers.

I know from second-hand experience that literally anyone with a high school degree can apply for a QA job and get one. It's not even remotely on the level of skill required of a programmer or an artist. Pay them as much as other developers and blow up budgets even more? What an absurd notion that would only make games worse.

(Additionally, QA is paid by the hour, not through a salary, so they are always compensated with time and a half for any hours a week they work past 40 [it's the law] so it's not like they have to deal with the pain of being a salaried dev who makes the same amount of money regardless of how many extra hours they work)

'muh crunch' — the sound a game developer makes when he's too stupid to realize other jobs exist and he isn't a slave to his boss

 

[Turuko]

eh there's more in QA then the simple temp testers
but i bet in this case there's a subtext and an implicit message from C.Av

The subtext is that obsidian management doesn't even know what QA stands for

So is Chris Avellone produced any significant noteworthy writing in any recent release?

Or still playing the role of brunt out junkie PR-man?

Soo second-hand experience of QA means the dude thats worked in the game industry for like 50 years doesn't know anything? What?
