Press Start – Biomutant

Biomutant feels like a AAA game made with the small design team and on a limited budget. I made it through the character creation process, the opening level, and out into the wilds.

I have to decide whether to go with the Jagni tribe or the Myriad tribe. One tribe wants to cleanse the world; the other tribe wants to save it. Which tribe should I go with? Better yet, if you’re playing, which tribe did you choose?

Lack of Communication at Work

Lack of communication slowly rots an organization from within. No one knows what is going on nor what anyone is doing. The silence invites questions of:

  • What is going on?
  • Do we have enough work?
  • What is everyone working on?
  • Am I doing a good job?
  • Am I going to be fired or let go?

Without knowing what projects are coming up, without proper feedback, the employee’s themselves rot from within. A once useful instrument dulled from a lack of use.

For more than a few months now, I’ve sat in the midst of a non-communicative environment. No one seems to know anything except for the upper management. The “upper management” in my case is two bosses. They have meetings with one another; they know what work items are coming up. Their communication however is not being shared with the rest of the company (me and another employee).

This lack of communication has made my workplace stressful. At the end of the day, I’m exhausted from being in the environment… and I take that home with me.

I long to feel creative again. To take on creative projects. To write.

There is the saying: “Fake it until you make it”.

I’m done faking it.

I’m just trying to make it.

And the lack of communication in my workplace is rotting the company from within… and my soul.

What We’re Playing – 4/20/21

I pull into my driveway and park my car. Making sure everything is turned off/good to go, I gather all my things and exit the vehicle. From out of nowhere, “Hey Dad, have I told you about what I’m doing in Sneaky Sasquatch?”

“Umm…”

“Today in Sneaky Sasquatch, I became a police officer. You see, I used my radar gun to catch bad guys.”

It has been like this for awhile now, which is how I know that a game has gotten Wyatt. I don’t know too much about Sneaky Sasquatch, but I do know that it is good enough to catch my son’s attention.

So much so, that Wyatt was asking the other day if the developers sell tee-shirts–They do! Head on over here.–. I think this is a first for him.

When I have had time, I’ve been dabbling in Cozy Grove. Think Animal Crossing, via Apple Arcade, but more of a hidden object game with clues. I’m loving it so far!
