The approach I strive to take with a LOT of interactions these days. 99.99% of the time, someone losing their shit at me - online or off - has absolutely nothing to do with me.

A few months ago, at the reservations desk of a Memphis hotel, I saw an excellent demonstration of the right way to handle folks like this. It was shortly after 5 P.M., and the hotel was busy registering new guests. The fellow ahead of me gave his name to the clerk in a commanding way. The clerk said, “Yes sir, Mr. R., we have a fine single for you.” “Single?” shouted the fellow. “I ordered a double.” The clerk said, very politely, “Let me check, sir.” He pulled the guest’s reservation from the file and said, “I’m sorry, sir. Your telegram specified a single. I’d be happy to put you in a double room, sir, if we had any available. But we simply do not.” Then the irate customer said, “I don’t care what the h— that piece of paper says, I want a double.” Then he started in with that “do-you-know-who-I-am?” bit, followed with “I’ll have you fired. You’ll see, I’ll have you fired.” As best he could, under the verbal tornado, the young clerk injected, “Sir, we’re terribly sorry, but we acted on your instructions.” Finally the customer, really furious now, said, “I wouldn’t stay in the best suite in this — — hotel now that I know how badly managed it is,” and stormed out. I stepped up to the desk, thinking the clerk, who had taken one of the worst public tongue-lashings I’d seen in some time, woululd be upset. Instead he greeted me with one of the finest “Good evening, sir”s I’d ever heard. As he went through the routine of processing my room, I said to him, “I certainly admire the way you handled yourself just a moment ago. You have tremendous temper control.” “Well, sir,” he said, “I really can’t get mad at a fellow like that. You see, he really isn’t mad at me. I was just the scapegoat. The poor fellow may be in bad trouble with his wife, or his business may be off, or maybe he feels inferior and this was his golden chance to feel like a wheel. I’m just the guy who gave him a chance to get something out of his system.” The clerk added, “Underneath he’s probably a very nice guy. Most folks are.” Walking toward the elevators, I caught myself repeating aloud, “Underneath he’s probably a very nice guy. Most folks are.” Remember those two short sentences next time someone declares war on you. Hold your fire. The way to win in situations like this is to let the other fellow blow his stack and then forget it.

Great museum! Easy to understand examples, text that explains what it is supposed to be, clear identification of spaces, it's the good stuff!

Sharing a look into one of our development gyms - this one is for testing and showcasing various audio systems, compiled by @vladislavzh.net Just as with combat, bot or level design gyms it's important to gather game systems in controlled environments #screenshotsaturday #y2k #indiegame

Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters just told investors that Night School's latest release, Unhinged, became one of its two most successful cloud game launches. Evidently, that wasn't enough to save the studio or its workforce.

This completely unhinged WB promo for Deep Space Nine – an ill conceived attempt to make the most cerebral of Star Trek shows look “cool” – has got a screaming rock dude wailing over a shot of Captain Sisko watching his wife blow up:

Jeff: "We're going to play a game about gay letter-writing." Avery: "Sounds good. I'm going to play a guy who would never actually write a letter because that would be really gay." ✨🎭 But for real this game was the most sad-fun I've had in ages, and I hope you give the episode a listen! 😘
