• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  When things aren’t balanced. It either tells me the devs do not play their game or they have a dominant strategy and don’t bother playing anything else.

  I’ve heard stories from professionals and you would be surprised how many devs don’t actually play the game they are developing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My friends and I use it as an excuse to have a get together. None of us use it to celebrate the United States or its independence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can it take months to get over being laid off?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was laid off from a place I only worked at for a month and I could already tell I was going to hate it there. The separation was mutual, but still took me 3 months to get over it. It is frustrating to lose your income and coverage, and it is even more frustrating to have to jump through the hoops of hell known as the job market. You are not alone, and the feelings you have are perfectly normal in today’s society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had this happen when using VPN. I also tried disabling ublock, but I get this behavior for 5-10 seconds before the video loads. I get no such behavior on Chrome.

  This is probably another attempt at Google degrading the experience for people not using Chrome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The right is looking for the stinkiest turd and don’t care who gets nominated as long as they stink. The left is looking for a unicorn and will not compromise for a horse that will eventually grow a horn.

  God forbid the left nominates candidates that do things one step at a time but are guaranteed success. Everything needs to be done correctly now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first step is to be kind about it. Send a message over YouTube explaining that you are the developer and kindly ask them to take it down. It is important to be very polite and non aggressive about it.

  You can also report the video stating it is advertising illegal activity.

  As others have posted, this guy has no subs, and not every view/sub equates to a purchase or instance of pirating. You may lose a few potential sales, but you need to understand this is not lost revenue as there was no guarantee they were going to buy it in the first place, and you have not lost something of limited stock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA employees "upset and confused" at return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Say it with me, now.

  Tax breaks.

  If a company has the infrastructure to support WFH but chooses to RTO it is due to tax breaks the company gets by filling seats in the office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You value yourself at negative 10k? If they paid me 100m, I would at least think about it before declining to buy one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨unnecessary expense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are quite ignorant yourself.

  Executive compensation is ALWAYS a question that is voted on during shareholder meetings. Guess who owns majority stock?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As you alluded to, the developers will get exactly 0% of the profits from that price hike. Games today are very profitable at $60. The problem is that execs are eating into those profits before pissing the rest down to the developers. There is also a really shitty tech bro culture that many game studios have, decorating their studios with overpriced and expensive tat which should have been spent on employees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is worried about men⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  +1. In addition, schools frequently side with the bully because it is easier to deal with a victim’s parents than a bully’s parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is what I am hoping/waiting for. I’ve been looking to switch to an EV for a few years now but have been turned off by the price, lack of physical buttons, and poor battery performance in cheaper models. I am praying the redesigned Leaf will clear all 3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This queue for the new swasticar⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Peak efficiency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨would getting back with an ex be a bad idea?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People can change, but don’t put your life on hold waiting for that to happen. I can’t say for sure what kind of person this is since I’ve never met the guy, but I can tell you that you will be waiting a long time if he is behaving how you described. Communication is incredibly important as a foundation for a relationship, and ghosting indicates they won’t be able to discuss things with you when things get really bad. This is a skill that is learned young and it is harder to learn it with age.

  Let that flame die out and only let it be reignited if the person makes real effort to really talk to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Monster Hunter Wilds updates fix a progress-blocking bug, but not the dodgy PC performance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this article is rage bait that doesn’t really understand software development. In software development, issues that completely block progress or functionality are significantly more important than system performance.

  Even if we disregard that fixing performance is a massive undertaking, fixing the blocker first was absolutely the right move.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is why nobody cares about GOP opinions and why most of the world thinks you are retarded. Like it or not, you live with people different from you, and you need to learn to play nice and compromise. I’m not saying to give up your morals completely, but meet in the middle and come up with something that works for both of you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the 2020 video game Immortals: Fenyx Rising doesn't infringe on the trademark of the 2011 film Immortals?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trademark generally only applies within the same medium. The point is to prevent confusion between two competing products. A movie and a video game do not overlap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which, let’s be clear, is not an inherently bad thing. Most sane people don’t want to reinvent the wheel. If you have a foundation that works and can easily be built off of in a reusable way the. You ultimately end up saving a lot of time and money.

  Now, going back to your dig, it is true that Amazon has too many similar services, a lot of which could have just been an offering under an existing service. If you offer a certification just for memorizing what all of your services do then you may have gone too far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Linux Argument.

  Non-jokes aside, there are multiple names for this. Anecdotal evidence is the primary one while confirmation bias is discarding statements (factual or fictional) that do not align with your vision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 early access should last "2 to 3 years" - it'll launch with "several biomes" and "some narrative"⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I will not partake in the EA this time around. With this type of game you need to experience it from beginning to end seamlessly. Having parts of it incomplete will ruin the experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Risk Of Rain 2 slaps a patch on the bug-ridden DLC that accidentally made the final boss invincible⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The title makes it sound like the patch was what caused the boss to be invincible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Protocol to be discontinued in Japan, will no longer release in the west.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn. Had this one on my wishlist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to play a game⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bleach, a saw, and cat litter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grassy green JRPG Visions Of Mana gets free demo a month ahead of release⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad to hear this. It tells me they have confidence in the product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my friends is looking for a job and he never gets feedback when he is rejected. It never occurred to me it could be because the legal team had a stick up their asses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I pinky promise I'm not a demon that was summoned during an unfortunate ritual⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The non joke answer is that the document attempts to prove who you say you are. The joke answer is that this is an attempt and is public info that anyone can use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GLAMour⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In software development you have contractors and product owners who forge ahead and do things without consulting subject matter experts. This often leads to spaghetti code and rushed garbage when things ultimately need to be patched.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GLAMour⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why you go to subject matter experts.

  /Software development rant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sure you can have latkes :)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Delicious and some of the most tedious foods to make.

  The secret ingredient is chicken fat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gotdamn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what else kills a human? Forcing them to give birth even if they are not healthy enough to do so.

  If you are going to make talking points at least be cohesive.
