@SamuriFerret
I've been thinking along similar lines myself. The fact that new games aren't automatically superior to ten-year old games in the way that they were in, say, the 90s, coupled with the sheer volume of games released in the last decade means it's eminently believable.

I try not to blow my own trumpet too often but I've been told more than once that I've got a good track record with taking on junior coders and bringing them up to speed. On balance, I think that might be the professional achievement I'm most proud of.

Meeting rooms

Oxford are named after

locations. A couple of new 'mini meeting rooms' have been made available for 1-to-1s & the like. They're tiny. You wouldn't want more than a couple of people in there tops.
They're called 'iso cube 1' & 'iso cube 2'.😂

I've always thought it weird it's accepted that pets and animals get "put to sleep" when they get badly injured/hurt/sick but some people demand that humans soldier one until the bitter end regardless of their quality of life. By that I mean weird from both ends of the argument.
