I’ve worked as a janitor in a massive Fortune 500 company’s headquarters for the last 25 years (nepo hire). For the first ten years I worked at the company the men’s room was always clean and easy to maintain. Worst you would get is maybe a couple of drops of piss dribble in front of the urinals from careless shakes, some shit stains in the bowls from greasy shits on the IT floor when they had been pulling all nighters and living off pizza, or soap in the counter when someone got overenthusiastic with the pump.

The women’s bathroom was always the bane of my existence because they would flush sanitary products, cause plugs, and would continue to use the plugged toilet until a mountain of shit and piss formed. That began to change about a decade ago when an Indian guy got hired in C suite, and slowly we started getting Indian managers on all floors. It started with unflushed shitters, but as more and more of them came in it steadily got worse. What used to be a gross, but ultimately low stress reasonably paying job has become a nightmare. The IT floor is the absolute worst.

They will not sit on the toilet and instead stand on the seat to squat. They frequently have explosive diarrhea, which, combined with their habit of squatting, means shit splatters on the seat, floors, and walls. They do not even attempt to clean the mess they made which means the next guy to stand and squat ends up stepping in their assblast and tracking it all over the floor when he walks out of the stall. They wipe with their hands and not the provided paper, I know this because finding shit covered handprints sliding down the walls of the stall is now a daily occurrence.

For some reason, despite not washing their hands near as I can tell, they frequently break open the soap dispenser and steal the giant bags of soap they are connected to. My team and I are the only non-IT employees who will enter the IT floor now, and the turnover is so high that I can’t get a single FNG to stay more than a month. I am considering leaving myself after a quarter century and my entire employment history being with this one company. I am in hell and it smells like feces & microwaved curry.

It’s been 31 hours without WoW Forever, I can’t stop shaking and I’m having severe mental breakdowns. I woke up today trying to log onto WoW Forever but the servers were down, I had a major panic attack but managed to calm down after a few hours. I couldn’t go outside today. I am nothing without WoW Forever, it is my life, it is my destiny, without WoW Forever, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. WoW Forever is the best thing ever made and I can’t get rid of my addiction to it, it is the best game in existence.

Everyone making fun of me for paying $60 to play the WoW Forever beta is gonna feel pretty stupid when the real servers go live and I’m already level 30 with full pre-bis. Enjoy starting from level 1 lol.

Asmongold leads <Olympus> into Orgrimmar, the raid falls apart and stream snipers camp his corpse, so he tells them "start jumping if you're ready to come kill me"💀

Every single one of them jumps. He takes the res anyway and dies on the spot 😭 PvE ruleset on release ?

<Olympus> has come a long way... 2019 vs 2026 comparison

[IllTemperedTuna @SeaCritDev]

For over a decade those of us in the gaming industry that wanted to do the hard work and provide the customers what we all wanted were called racists and bigots. They employed subterfuge in a million and one ways in the work place.

If you were seen browsing the wrong website, or watching a Critical Drinker video, you were put on "THE LIST"...

Slowly cut form social circles, overlooked for upward mobility and, in time, outright let go.

The schmoozers, the back scratchers, the toxically positive, the always smiling, and overly positive cannibalized the entire industry as they smiled, jocked and jeered, RELISHING in the bodies piling up of their slain enemies.

Now these DICK HEADS, all as one demand we mourn the loss of their jobs, the loss of control they held over the industry with bloodied knife.

For YEARS we had to listen to these posers wax poetic about how progressives and leftoids were the creative ones. That gamedev is predominantly leftist because leftists were the creative ones, they were the smart ones, they were the artists and the thinks.

For 10 years you SMARM FUCKS gleefully owned this industry and through every subversive tactic, collectively shat on your coworkers, your countrymen, your customers, and the fragile practice of gamedev.

All so you could huff your fucking farts, and cash easy paychecks.

Musta been nice while it lasted, the free ride is over.

Now we all must suffer this horrific decline.
