@auspice Maybe he keeps it in his pocket, and it's more a matter of being too sensitive for the vibrate function.

Would you rather be that guy in the office with the annoying phone, or the perpetual awkward boner?

(I have girl parts, so I don't know, but I would guess I'd be more terrified of being the latter if I had boy parts.)

At least turn it down, maybe? I swear he keeps it on full volume. Like this is not a quiet ding. This is a loud AF ding.

And then the typing.
And the FB Messenger ding.
And the Discord ding.
And then the game noises as he plays whatever games between tickets.

I think he just gives no goddamn fucks about the people around him.

People who don't mute their phones in public. No one wants to hear your clicky typey sounds and your dinging.

I keep begging my coworker to turn his off.

ALL. DAY.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.

He claims the vibration is more annoying.

FUCKING HOW YOU INSENSITIVE MOTHERFUCKER?

Sega is doing it's Make War Not Love thing again this year.

With Endless Space 2.

I...am very conflicted. Very.

On the one hand, I understand it's very good.

On the other, I need to stop spending money sometime.

You should. Then we could play. I plan to pick it up.
(Because a friend keeps telling me how good it is and I do like Endless Legend because I enjoy tactics style play.)

And $20 is a really good deal.

"teenagers <something something stupid>" is what teenagers do, for the most part.

More like:

"teenagers <something something sex stupid something food something stupid sex>"

No reply. Finally staff comes back and says that won't be possible. the people in the plot don't want any more people in it.

<rubs face>

A Team: "We just want our little clique to have this fun!"
Staff: "OK!"

^ Clearly, these people have been taking the Spider-Certified Game Management Certificate Course and acing that shit.

Staff = A Team, more or less.
This guy and his wife open a game.
He will usually drop staffing to focus on his character, the center of the game, plots, etc etc. But I remember on Shadowhunters, he'd log into her Staffbit sometimes, so he was still making calls.

Basically whatever he wants, goes.

So for all intents and purposes... This guy, the Star/Group A/whatever you want to call it... is Staff.
