• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Path Of Exile 2 is so "severely overloaded" by players that Grinding Gear are hiring new support staff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s a lot of fun and challenging, will be interesting to see how it develops further through early access feedback

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s only the beginning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s great, I suppose less concentration to a single platform is a better direction.

  Is there less rage and frothing at the mouth on Bluesky? I would imagine whatever ills plague Twitter would also eventually come to Bluesky, because people are there. And people are people. We don’t seem to have a solution to the problem - which is a specific subset of people intent on harm, and allowing them direct and wholesale access to the social fabric.

  So easy nowadays to fabricate rage-inducing and follower-generating bait. No time for truth and no plan to really get there. How long before we see someone take a stab at a ministry of truth?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s up to Trump, because your vaunted checks and balances are gone.

  Think he’s going to show restraint? Insight? Empathy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think each woman has her own reasons (some people actually like traditions) but I have the impression that, globally, women are not the same as what we see online. I think today the taking of a surname does not indicate ownership or property, at least to most modern women (and men).

  I don’t think any woman thinks like that anymore, or perhaps not many, so the motivations would then also be obviously different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boeing issues layoff notices to 400-plus workers as it begins drastic cuts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the executives and management… who did this to Boeing, what will happen them while the rest are having their lives thrown into turmoil?

  Nothing, because after all, they were simply executing the mission of the shareholders (who are blameless in all of this). Maximize profit, minimize cost.

  This is simply more of that same mission. They hurt the company, we pay with our livelihood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Most people are probably experiencing the shock of what they thought the American people were vs what they are. It’s hard to understand and accept.

  As foreigners, our views are heavily affected by things like Hollywood, celebrity and visibility to the “best of America”. But the bulk of America is not that, at all. So the veneer is torn away and it’s jarring to most people.

  The only positive I see in all this is that we get to watch the US get what they voted for. Pain can be a teacher, but I doubt they can learn from it. Any and all agony from this will just be the other parties fault, always. Too much venom and malice in the politics and too little earnest substance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most Americans like and support Trump. That IS America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe the answer is “A lot of Americans”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t matter, company will just try it again later in some other way. The decision making process that went along with trying to change the monetary model under the feet of developers is still there. The greed.

  Corporates gonna corporate I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deadlock from Valve has very quickly risen up the most played list on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be the only person not playing it at this point 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Delayed AGAIN — This Time to the First Half of 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, rather this than a bad release

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space Marine 2 feels even more explosively, grimly, and hilariously authentic to the Warhammer 40,000 universe than the first game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the heads up.

  This is the newest form of slavery. Subtle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people probably do not have home lives that they enjoy, I can imagine that.

  Oh wow, this brings back memories for the original, definitely gonna try this out

  I enjoyed the others in the series for some reason, but cautious about this one.

  It’s only Bioware in name. It’s actually a normal corporate just wearing their skin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨V Rising 1.0 review: one of the slickest survival games gets even slicker⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing this now, it’s really good. I last played just after EA launch, a lot has been added and refined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I will buy anything they make next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m holding something the size of a mobile phone with no screen or buttons. Specs are that it supports up to 400mb/s NNB, or Native Neural Bandwidth.

  Fortunately it’s the newer wireless model so I don’t have to worry about cable management in my hair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those top level folks are sometimes “incentived” by bottom line targets and other end targets. So sure, you do get greedy people inside private companies.

  I don’t think shareholders driving for infinite profit is easily disregarded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is that this guy is not the head of a public company where shareholders demand massive and continually growing profits. So he acts in the interests of the consumer, the customer, the gamer. But if this was a public company, shareholders would buy shares and then demand he do something to grow that share price, so they can sell the shares later for profit.

  When that happens we see that CEOs do everything they can to maximize profits, like promising release dates in earnings calls.

  The difference between private and public companies is the single biggest threat to us all because as soon as the company acts in the exclusive interest of profit, everything else gets fucked. And most do.

  That means employees, customers, everyone. Only the 1% benefit from the gutting of everyone else.

  Think I’ll keep waiting a bit more. Give great mods time to get in.
