As someone who has worked for numerous chaotic software companies over the years and had a couple rounds of burnout:

You can try the quiet quitting thing, combined with things like meditation and distancing yourself from outcomes (e.g. stoic thinking around realizing what you control and don’t control). That might keep you going for a while.

But I’ve personally found that ultimately there is no substitute for quitting a toxic job and taking real time off (at least 3 weeks). Your body and mind have experienced trauma and need rest.

Best of luck, friendo

Russia will release half-monkey, half-man hybrid shock troops; they'll be dancing in the aisles of Walmart by next month

Battlebit Remastered

Diablo 4

And, while it's not a video game, reading the Pathfinder 2e core rulebook

On a related note, have you heard of the Three Moves Ahead podcast? It seems like it'd be right up your alley: it's entirely focused on strategy games

Still 100% remote, and have been for over three years (software engineer). And even before covid, I was often doing hybrid roles. I work so much better remotely.

My current company is trying to press for "5% travel" to have people attend the idiotic on-site meetings, but they haven't forced me to do it

Might quit my job soon (for other reasons). I'm committed to staying fully remote even if it makes my job search harder (which it undoubtedly will).

It’s tough. You’re having a rational response to a difficult future. But there are things you can do to at least help your peace of mind. Take news breaks. Meditate. Reflect on the things you are grateful for.

Impressive

Isn't there also something where a magazine mod/owner can add hashtags to be associated with their magazine, and then Microblog will fill with Mastodon posts hitting those hashtags?
