  • If I can solve the challenges in your game by being absurdly single-minded, I’m a happy camper.

    Let me win by pumping a single stat or stacking a single affix. When I start a new run and decide I want to solve every problem through liberal application of ____, let me do that. Nothing rains on my parade like diminishing returns or forcing different builds to get through different parts of the game.

  • I was once made a boss over this particular employee who was better at their job than me, and much older. I made it clear to her that I had no desire to wield any authority over her and that I considered us peers.

    If my bosses knew what I’d done I would have been roasted but I feel like I made the right call. And having her respect was more invaluable than anything my bosses ever did.
