I was at a tech conference job fair and chatting with a bunch of former game programmers.
I absolutely messed up when I asked one guy who worked on a famous game why they decided to do X feature, and if that was the reason for the game’s failure.
He looked me in the eyes and said something like, “I get orders from the business execs. So even if their ideas are obviously bad, if I don’t do it, I get replaced. After the game is released, good or bad, I get replaced. If the game doesn’t even get enough funding, I get replaced.”
Gaming industry seems so toxic.
That’s just furries with less steps
¥1590/month.
Rough $11/month in freedom dollars. That’s not bad!
Still pricey for a solo use. What is your use cases? Lurking or a frequent poster?
They literally explained their backstory.
They rub one out then reply. It’s not rocket science.
Good. At a company, you get your ass fired if they catch you using non-approved equipment on company infrastructure. It can lead to leaks and infiltration, and lost of revenue.
In the military, that’s people’s lives!
Nah Skirt Deku is work related.
Every time I see this implemented, it always seems like screwing over the end user who is trying to join for the first time. Platforms like reddit and Tumblr benefit from a friction-free sign up system.
Imagine how challenging it is for someone joining Lemmy for the first time and suddenly having to provide trust elements like answering a few questions, or getting someone to vouch for them.
They’ll run away and call Lemmy a walled garden.
It’s reporting activity, not banning people (or bots)
I switched to Linux a few years ago and you are not wrong.
Windows is a nightmare with directory organization.
Saved games can go:
Why don’t you want to vote for the felon rapist who has a history of racist comments and has taken money from corporations and foreign government over the Cop lady?
My favorite part was when Trump said nobody died on Jan 6..
Her death was so useless not even the guy she was supporting gave a shit about her.
Missed opportunity to send them a link to this post.
Yep.
My deductibles were crazy when I was in college working in fast food. Something like $8k. I was making like $30k a year.
Today, it’s like $4k. I make multipliers of that.
Harebrained games made the very excellent Shadowrun games.
I’m not familiar with their other offerings. Honestly I just wished they made more Shadowrun games.
They shut off the Crew 2 and even planned on deleting the game from people’s libraries. They’ve added micro transactions to (I think) every single Ubisoft game in the last decade. They were pro NFTs and wanted it rolled out to games. Their Ubisoft launcher. Toxic and sexist environment.
Every few years, they make a better Assassins Creed or Far Cry that moves the open-world genre forward. But that’s the only positive thing I can say.
Haha i love that stuff.
There’s a restaurant called Pho’king Good that I passed by and immediately had a bowl.
When you visit Hawaii, get it. Go all in on Hawaiian food. It’s the best!
You don’t think once Lemmy hits mainstream, companies won’t start polluting Lemmy and harvest data here?
