Whatever. Give me a sec.

[And a few minutes later:]

He says it's for communication.

[killerapp]

wifi calling then. is this for PGO or a pet project?

[droptheious]

Sure I guess!

[Yuuki, he doesn't know dogshit about computers and wifi, that's why he came to you.]

Anyway he's not with us so I'm gonna go with pet project. It's from his past life.

[killerapp]

ill send him a bill if its more than a few hundred bucks

[droptheious]

I think that's fair. Thanks, Yuuki.

So. Uh. Question.

What're the POKEGO apprenticeships like? As in, what's the process like?

[killerapp]

no clue. i went into PUPS when i was a kid and skipped that stage. i can tell you whats involved with them but i dont have any actual experience

[infezione]

Honestly, the "what's involved" would be helpful. Didn't really get any of those details when I asked Eunie how things were going.

[killerapp]

background check (magical and normal, think the magical one is new?) and a psych eval (dont worry about that last one its really hard to fail that), six month training that CAN go longer but i dont think it usually does unless theres extenuating circumstances. your mentors responsible for being a mentor and sometimes theres special things brought up. Dan Hengs cousin has 2fa on purchases that sort of thing. youre a PUP if youre under 18.

i think thats it

[infezione]

... I was about to ask about the 2fa on purchases but it just occurred to me who else joined.

Anyway, thanks! I've been thinking about some stuff lately and... weighing my options, you know?

[killerapp]

[He did say "Dan Heng's cousin". He thinks Zhongli is Dan Heng's cousin, anyway.]

because of the bitch?

[infezione]

[It's entirely possible that entire bit of info--that Zhongli is Dan Heng's ... some sort of relative--has escaped Fugo's head.]

Yeah. Plus I didn't burn my book to get out of the Order so any other zealots that show up won't have to be on the app to know my face and name.

[killerapp]

ugh. honestly youd probably do good in POKEGO.

[infezione]

Everything I've heard does make it sound way more my speed. And I do think I'd like it.

[killerapp]

i dont know if theyd let me mentor and you probably dont want me mentoring but if you need someone to vouch ill do it

[infezione]

Honestly, even just that would be seriously appreciated. Thanks, seriously.

[illucesco]

we're gonna be looking for qa testers pretty soon. if you want experience in game development i can save a spot for you.

[killerapp]

yes holy shit. the fishing game right?

[illucesco]

yeah. we’re announcing it to the public later in march. we’re hoping for an early access release in december at the earliest, full release next year.

key word “hoping”.

[killerapp]

hoping for december, planning on march?

[illucesco]

planning on june if not later. timeline’s flexible—we want to both put out the best version of the game we can make and not burn ourselves out doing it.

[killerapp]

fuck crunch tbh

[illucesco]

yep, fuck crunch.

we also have insurance benefits + paid leave. can’t promise there’ll be no overtime at all, though we’re going to limit it and ban office work on weekends, but i can promise paid compensation for the extra time.

[killerapp]

can you work around classes and POKEGO? im mostly online but some of them have required in person days

[illucesco]

yeah, of course. we'll work something out with your school. is there anyone i should talk to at pokego too?
