Hey everyone, thanks for checking in over all these days 🙂
To everyone that I’ve interacted with and worked with: Thanks for building something constructive and productive with me over the past years.
This account is getting deleted in 3 days and I won’t be around on an alt. RA has become a corrupt shithole on the upper side of things, QA, DevComp and even Events Team have gotten infested with powerhungry individuals. The latest rescore proposal topic is another prime example of how without any notice, rescores proposals for active devs are now done behind chambers, while our documentation clearly states that any developer can sponsor a rescore for any dev, regardless of activity.
Be careful of the people that have nothing to lose, or in this case, have nothing in their lives but fake internet points. RA has great potential as a hobby, not a lifestyle. Unfortunately the people that treat it as the latter ruin it for the first group if they step past just being a player.
If you pay clear attention, you will find exactly which individuals prey their way into the minds of new users by trying to control PR, Reddit, Newsposts, etc and trying to make themselves look like the modern messiah.
Go outside. Breathe air. And don’t trust anyone that tries to portray RA as more than a coming together of nerds that like retro games and just want to connect over that. RA is not a business. Don’t trust anyone that’s trying to convince you otherwise. Don’t confuse professionalism and quality improvement with power-hungry control-lusted basement dwellers.
(Nepiki and WCopeland are amazing dudes and not part of the personas mentioned above, despite being in the spotlight a lot. I’m sure you’ll find out who to trust if you look deep enough)
Have a great life, and don’t forget to go out and touch grass. I’m logging out of this account permanently after this message, so if it’s gone you can assume censorship 🙂
