Not to mention that studios like Larian have proven that it’s entirely possible to make a blockbuster game without teams of 400 heads, changing direction and leadership every few years and laying off the people who made the product in the first place. They really seethed at that one, so many salty comments lol.
Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.
Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.
I did, but long ago. Problem is when you’re taking ssri’s/snri’s, especially in large doses, mushrooms lose their effect. Taking psylocibin on these meds doesn’t do anything, you don’t even get visuals anymore, only a mild euphoria at best.
I’ve been depressed for three decades and nothing I’ve tried so far has worked, but I’ll be stone cold dead before they put fucking chips in my brain. /oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg
Low ball, rookie numbers! I say we go for 90%, including the added costs of re-hiring previous staff or training new ones.
So less cheaters and griefers in online lobbies? Rare Putin W.
In Dutch, there’s the saying “de een zijn dood is de ander zijn brood” which roughly translates to “one man’s death is another man’s bread”
Not necessarily the users, per sé, but the corporations who refuse to learn from mistakes.
And the enshittification continues unabated.
I low key assume this means the next strike will be using tactical nukes. This is bad news folks.
Hahah, good luck! I don’t remember like 90% of my previous handles.
Thinking wikipedia or other unbiased sources will still be available in a decade or so is wishful thinking. Once the digital stranglehold kicks in, it’ll be mandatory sign-in with gov vetted identity provider and your sources will be limited to what that gov allows you to see. MMW.
This will be mandatory before the end of the decade.
Noticed it for a single day, then ublock must’ve updated and everything works fine again. I will drop YT entirely before I watch a single shitty ad on there, let alone pay for a sub.
The effects that worry me most and are arguably the best studied are those on the human endocrine system. It unarguably interferes with our hormonal system, although it is not yet known to which degree or how it impacts each individual separately. Most likely this will go the way of cigarettes; with the world “knowing” it’s poison but not taking action until the effects can absolutely no longer be ignored. By which time it will be too late for many.
Definitely agreed on cars, but Japan’s last few moon missions had several catastrophic failures unfortunately.
I would ride a Honda rocket a hundred times before ever setting foot on anything developed by SpaceX
Fairly sure they “saved” hundreds of thousands in wages only to lose millions to billions in material. An engineer working 80 hour weeks month after month isn’t nearly going to be as productive as one doing 40hr weeks, no matter how many hours they put out. There’s actually a point where it turns negative and every extra hour put in detracts from output, not to mention long-time wellbeing and development.
That, and teachers really fucking hate being called out on something for some reason.
