anonrerising | Happy Valentine's!

They mentioned in the comments of a santae-salt post a while back that they're no longer working for Santae. I don't remember which post though so I can't link it.

So bad even HE flees the ship?

Or did he get fired lol.

nayrt

my personal suspicion was bc he kept interacting with santae-salt on main lol i know CJ reads the blog and pretends not to, so probably realized it looked bad when a true staff member was commenting by name instead of anon

deserved either way, lol. Can't keep his mouth shut.

That's what side blogs are for.

They let me go because it turns out they didn't need a full time graphic designer with the current workload, as they do have another freelancer.

There was nothing to do with jumping ship or any bad blood, there simply wasn't enough work for me to be needed.

oh lawd here he comes

rarely checks this place, tho. but somehow always appears within hours of his name being mentioned.

This made me laugh way too hard

like beetlejuice but for fr

heres the post, its in the replies: https://www.tumblr.com/santae-salt/774691399188840448/if-those-asks-werent-cj-they-definitely-read?source=share

"Also fun fact - I'm no longer staff. Staff are actively discouraged from interacting with this blog in any way, shape or form. Hence, why I'm commenting."

an anon above mentioned that they suspect he got fired because he kept interacting with the salt blog and based on this comment, i think that's what he was implying?? i have no clue. it almost reads like he's saying "i'm not staff so thats why i'm commenting!" but he was commenting on the salt blog posts while he was still on the staff, so... idk

ty for the link!

Yeah, looks like his stupid ass got fired, or he quit because he couldn't BEAR to not interact with drama on main because again... he's a stupid ass.

It wasn't that. While I was on staff I didn't comment on the blog as I was instructed not to. It was just a lack of workload, where the freelancer they had hired as well was enough to cover the work needed, so there wasn't any need for a full time graphic artist.

well that's a lie

you did directly interact and comment on the blog while staff lmao. dakkokki do you realize just how much you lie?

I was told not to interact after that.
The message to not interact with the salt blog was after I messaged the blog itself.
Sorry I wasn't specific enough.

Proof to show I'm not lying.

Mate, did you really need someone telling you that staff shouldn't be seen interacting with salt blog?

To be fair previously CJ did publicly like some salt blog posts that were kissing his ass soooo... Lol.

Why do you keep coming back and deanoning, dude?

Now I gotta watch this thread to make sure it doesn't devolve into another dead horse beat off.

Are you that fucking obsessed with attention, regardless of whether it's negative or positive? Do some fucking dbt or something, get another hobby. Ffs.

I’m dumb what’s dbt

dialectical behavioral therapy / dick and ball torture

So what you're saying is you weren't as good as the freelancer.

I am not saying that? I'm pretty sure it was just because I was the newest hire and since they already had a working relationship established it was easier to keep that one than burn a bridge. At least that's my view on it.

Anyway, that's gonna be my last reply, I don't agree with how CJ has been acting as of late, it's been really ick ( Even more than before ). I like Santae as a GAME and watching it be developed in real time, but the owner is steadily falling out of favor in my eyes, especially with how he treated Haven. AI art isn't art, even if it was used as "reference" ( heavy quotations there ), and the NPC art should be put on the highest priority at this moment in time, but humans can only work so fast. ( AFAIK there's only one NPC artist, at least when I was staff there was. ) CJ should really hire a PR person instead of handling things himself because it's digging a deeper hole. I'm not enjoying the fact they're shutting down all criticisms about the site, leaving users afraid off being banned for giving their honest feedback, also the way he went about the FR thing was pretty sketchy at best.

Hilarious how you complain CJ is digging himself a deeper hole when that’s all you do here.
