- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 2 hours ago:
Honestly curious why you believe otherwise. Termination without cause is absolutely allowed, and again, comes with legal provisions for the employee. In Ontario, Canada, for example, this manifests in severance pay.
I’m not super well versed in EU practices so perhaps it’s even more strict but fundamentally if a company cannot afford to retain an employee they must have the ability to let them go.

You can’t exactly force a company to employ someone. Even in a pro-labor-rights country the employer would be free to terminate. The termination would come with all sorts of employee benefits of course.

You lost me at crafter. Zero interest in that kind of gameplay.

RV There Yet isn’t really that chill. It’s also highly frustrating at times.

It is exactly replacing work. Your argument is easy to extend to teams of one solo developer who has finite time and money and it’s easy to see the appeal of AI in general.
I’m also in the AI isn’t that bad camp but it’s pretty clear here they used AI, and rightfully disqualified.

I think both of you are right but also wrong. It’s called “whatever you want” and there is no universal name for the practice. If you’re not using your PC for media, it certainly isn’t an HTPC.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 1 month ago:
Persona has a unique look for sure. Some AAAs do look neat, but it is very, very, rare. On the whole they don’t come close to the indie scene.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 1 month ago:
The indie scene is where you’ll find the most creative takes. There are some truly stunning styles that mainstream games would probably never try.

The fact that two pieces have four sides makes me irrationally angry. You could have achieved balance and reduced cut count by one.

You probably smell really bad. Olfactory fatigue might make you think otherwise. Just shower and moisturize. Find skin friendly soap.

- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 2 months ago:
I’ll only address journalism as it relates to video games/reviews, but my opinion is that there are better ways to communicate information about a game than reading about it.
For me the big one is simply seeing it played. I’ve read beautiful reviews of games that when it comes time to play do not click for me. Watching someone else play it gives me way more context and appreciation. My go to for this is simply youtube. I skip the middle man entirely. I get a wide range of videos from different players in an easy to access format. Others I know use twitch to similar effect. As the options for providing this information grow, older media lose footing. I’m not surprised at all. I’m not sure we should lament it, truthfully.

Risk tolerance is definitely a thing and I’d argue being all in on the s&p500 is already poor diversification. Global broad market etfs would fare better. The worst thing to do regardless of tolerance or portfolio is selling at crash.

Precisely. When comparing against home ownership, people often only consider the mortgage.
