- Comment on Lemmy's Image Problem 1 month ago:
I don’t follow the development super closely so I don’t know if those issues were resolved or not. I just remember a lot of discussion on it when I was first on Lemmy on a different instance.
not that i’m aware of, and fixing a database schema once it’s already in place tends to be a clusterfuck so i’m very skeptical it will get better any time soon
- Comment on Quality Assurance Workers at Activision Establish Largest Certified Union in the U.S. Video Game Industry with Communications Workers of America 2 months ago:
With approximately 600 members, Activision Quality Assurance United-CWA is the largest group of union-represented workers at any U.S. game studio. Workers in the new unit are located in California, Texas, and Minnesota. Over 1,000 video game workers at Microsoft now have union representation with CWA.
this is very cool, and hopefully more workers leverage the Microsoft neutrality agreement.

- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Will Have a Character Voiced by Text-to-Speech at Launch - IGN 3 months ago:
While we really dug the game (you can check out our review for more on that), there’s one odd detail that stuck out we can’t help but give its own article: one of the game’s minor NPCs will be voiced by a text-to-speech program at launch, seemingly because someone — probably Ubisoft — forgot to record and add a human being’s voice for the role.
what a… weird thing to have happen. i’m not sure what the utility of it would be for one minor NPC but this being an accident honestly strains charitability, i think

There’s… no details at all other than “it’s happening”?
well, this is a press release strictly speaking (and unions tend to delay releasing specific details of such deals anyways–although, if the allegations are correct i have no idea why they’d do this in this case).

what would you say is the stuff of note in their selection currently?
- Comment on Netflix is reportedly exploring adding in-game ads to its gaming service 4 months ago:
honestly, the thing that gets me here is–who even focuses on Netflix Gaming in the first place? i never hear about stuff dropping in their ecosystem, and so it really feels like an afterthought service to begin with that they’ve bolted onto their main business

yeah and that sounds fucking awful, restrooms which are accessible to everyone should be a bare minimum aspect of all public spaces and all businesses

shoutout to harkening to Airbnb btw:
“Homelessness is a growing problem, and some providers worry that a homeless person may destroy or soil the bathroom,” she said. “Flush provides a way to access and provide access to a clean, reliable bathroom … Airbnb was so successful because it provides something we all need — a roof over our heads — and Flush is doing the same for bathrooms.”
yeah man, Airbnb really solved homelessness and the “having a roof over your head” problem huh
