very amused right now by one of my repeat clients who sadly is likely to have his last job from me because I suspect this is the last mission from him in career mode, but he's a writer who is basically george r r martin crossed with Alan Moore and so every one of his emails waxes poetic about how "modern technology has no soul" and how his editor is to blame for these constant tech issues because he "eschews the purity of real paper and pen and writing desks" and just, wow settle down Mr Moore.
like the moment he was working on it, it turned out his harddrive wasn't big enough. So I upgraded that. next job was that his psu just blew out in the middle of working.
Finally he got so pissed off with the damn thing that ... I dunno I guess he threw it at a WALL or some shit or hit it with a broadsword because the mobo was FUUUUCKED XD
And he's literally only sending it to me (I'm guessing on his editor's wallet loool) so his editor stops yelling at him hahahaa. I love this old fuck. XD
aw no. ;w; His publisher fucked him over in the end. So he's had to sell the computer anyway so he can keep working. Poor fucker.
@Nine quite a tale!
realtalk though I've been very amused by his jobs for me, like... the first one was "look I have an ancient pc - " it actually wasn't THAT ancient tbqh dunno where the dude got such a good processor for it "- and I need it upgraded so it can run [Office equivalent in game world] because my EDITOR says so [practicaly visible disdain in the writing tone]", and then... shit just keeps going wrong lol
