There were other mid-project orders too. I remember being told to name the towns and make a map. Up until then, I'd been using real names like France and Germany for the countries in the game. Then they told me to come up with original names. Their reasoning was something about unique worldbuilding and original place names being part of Enix's identity as an RPG maker.But that didn't really click with me. In the end, I fudged it by giving things random names like the Silent Forest or the Temple on the Ocean. For the map, I literally took a real map of Europe, flipped it upside down, and handed that in!
A conversation with Vodafone's completely useless chatbot, TOBi, in which it says it's sorry it hasn't been able to help me, asks if I'd like to speak to an agent, and then when I say yes -- PICKED FROM A LIST OF YES OR NO, NOT EVEN TYPED -- it says it can't understand, because it's a piece of shit that deserves to be slung into the cold, dark, merciless void of space.
