• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We needed ~“3” levels of language classes to graduate in my school (7th and 8th grade effectively counted as 1 level, so it was really 4 years). You could elect to take extra if you wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I never understood his appeal. He’s just vulgar. It’s not funny. His assurance in a couple otherwise good movies really ruins it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah? And how have those reports and metrics been fairing the last generation and a half? Running a creative medium based on metrics is why AAA is in the shitter. How many studio closings are we seeing lately?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing your product is part of business…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spray n Pray⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Van Helsing at it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He did get his start in education. Given a job he was unqualified for by [traitorous] former AG Bill Barr’s father (who also wrote creepy pedo sci fi novels)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Highguard Developer Makes Layoffs Affecting "Most of the Team", Two Weeks After Launch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a really shitty way to run a business. If the game industry was set up more similar to movies, you could make this argument. But it’s not.

  Game devs desperately need to unionize. Across the board

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For brick and mortar, which has significantly more costs to make up than digital. Which is the entire point of this suit. And steam’s policy requires that no game can be regularly priced cheaper than on their platform - artificially raising prices across the board.

  It’s bizarre seeing everyone here defend steam here just because they don’t like who’s saying it.

  Lover’s pox

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the ones that are meant to be replayed over and over to progress at all.

  I like the ones that are a whole new experience each time. I’m not even sure if these are truly rogue likes, but they get lumped into them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I gave up electronics club⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But then you have to flip from the left hand rule to the right hand rule!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I gave up electronics club⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure someone has uploaded some current diagrams…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Certainly complete disarmament of ICE. Their job is investigation misdemeanors. There’s fuck all reason for them to be armed at all.

  You don’t need a gun to investigate paperwork issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought that was only for single digit numbers. Or is that a more recent convention?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’d already be in ww3. It’s an indicator, not a mechanism that does anything on its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many parents cab probably relate⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whoosh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They need to finish TES VI before they start on the next fallout. And the “announcement” trailer for that was like 6 years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Machado Offers Her Nobel, Trump Says It Would Be an ‘Honor’ to Accept It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The same reason he had fake Times magazine covers of himself made and hung up in his properties years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve seen robots struggling to handle picking up boxes for like a decade now. They’re still struggling with that. Tight spaced delicate movements isn’t in the near future, yet.

  Transportation is going to be the first industry majorly replaced by automation, not the trades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The one near me isn’t set up like a line of stools at a bar. It’s a ton of tables all over the place with some arcade/bar games strewn around. In a college area so fills up pretty easily at night

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone wants to work in games. Few want to work on accounting software and client messaging organization programs. Who do you think gets paid more despite doing basically the same thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  highly paid developers

  You’re not familiar with the games industry are you?

  Their wages are significantly lower than related software fields of similar skill sets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Processing wheat involves letting it dry and opening both ends of the barn so the hulls blow away

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A conservative think tank is suing Oregon over a new law that makes it illegal to impersonate a union representative⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “We should be able to commit fraud” is a… bold stance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't tall people also wider?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They… Do.

  Let’s not punish children for having morons as parents

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony's Naughty Dog Studio Orders Employee Overtime on ‘Intergalactic’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For short periods, like a few days, you can get a small boost in productivity. But if it goes on too long, you actually see a decrease in productivity overall.

  And most companies aren’t paying for this, as lobbyists managed to get “computer workers” onto the list of allowed overtime exempt employees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam winter sale is now live⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a civ game, so no. It’s still horrendously overrated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A can many using hand tools is producing less, and would require more people to have the same output as a company using power tools …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not avoiding the spirit at all. I’m pointing out the ridiculousness of the no-AI-at-all brigrade slapping the AI label on a game that “uses AI during it’s development even if it’s not in the end product”, because it would absolutely count this exact scenario.
