- Comment on Why do people in non-tax states still have to pay import duty? 1 day ago:
States don’t control federal taxation.
- Comment on Anyone else? 1 week ago:
Eh. I’m good at my job. But I know I won’t be all that good managing people who do my job. They keep trying to force me into it anyway but she virtue of me being here a while.
- Comment on Anyone else reckon Bethesda will go the way of Bioware? 1 week ago:
Not yet.
Microsoft usually squeezes out a couple games in their studio purchases before dumping them. What we’ll probably see is them push for a fallout game being worked alongside TES6 to capitalize on the TV show’s success. Quality may suffer with that split attention from a studio used to doing one monolithic game at a time
- Comment on Anyone else reckon Bethesda will go the way of Bioware? 1 week ago:
Microsoft has an equally appealing graveyard of studios it bought up and did nothing with, in its history
- Comment on Anyone else reckon Bethesda will go the way of Bioware? 1 week ago:
Microsoft is also pretty notorious for shutting down development studios they’ve bought up and let sit around without doing anything with them.
- Comment on Electronic Arts to Cut 400 Jobs, Shut Down BioWare 2 weeks ago:
Weird, given that there’s also a Mass Effect TV show in the works. Unless that got axed in the last couple months
- Comment on Bloodborne is now on PC natively with online features like massages, bloodstains and co-op 3 weeks ago:
Stabbing things inside the range of your rifle, I would guess.
- Comment on Rep. Ritchie Torres Announces Congressional Legislation To Protect Video Game Ownership: 'If You Pay For It, You Own It' 3 weeks ago:
Making this limited to just video games is stupid. This practice spans so many industries, including cars now with remote shutoff abilities.
- Comment on AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary. 3 weeks ago:
The thing is, just getting rid of it is worse.
The tool is done, the current implementation has been warped to favor corporations. That doesn’t mean throwing out the tool is the answer
- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 4 weeks ago:
The concept of packing a lunch still escapes people, it seems. Buying lunch everyday was expensive BEFORE the prices shot up
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Q2 2027? So they’re finally admitting it won’t be this year. Or 2016. Probably not next year either.
- Comment on As it lays off developers and closes studios, Xbox gets into the movie business 4 weeks ago:
Because their foray into television had gone oh so well… Why not go bigger?
- Comment on Infinity+1 Complex 5 weeks ago:
Trying to pass off “I stole this guy’s game” as you were somehow the victim and overcame that injustice… Is definitely a vibe. Only had to boil a small lake to do it, too.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I didn’t mean to imply your game was lacking in complexity. But even this article is just ticking boxes for: bosses, loot tiers, etc. it’s all very generic sounding.
What’s your game about?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Your pitch could use some work. You described the basic mechanics of every other mmo with this, but I don’t have a feel for what sets yours apart from any other.
- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 1 month ago:
I’m sure Microsoft firing everyone isn’t helping…
- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 1 month ago:
Wow. This is what happens when you put someone without game industry experience in charge of your game division. Incredibly stupid decisions all around.
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 1 month ago:
Oh cool. The increase in entry drivers on the road over the last year wasn’t enough…
- Comment on Citizens United was never about helping people 1 month ago:
There were and still are.
You, as an individual, right now, have a limit on how much money you can donate to a political campaign.
An organization is able to bypass that by spending that money directly in support of the campaign, but not directly giving it to them. Thus granting the organization’s owners more political power than they had as an individual.
- Comment on Citizens United was never about helping people 1 month ago:
Except that’s not how they implemented it. Somehow organizing grants you EXTRA rights over being an individual. Suddenly you get an avenue to get around personal contribution limits, on top of retaining your original personal contributions allowance…
- Comment on Diablo V Teaser 1 month ago:
Microsoft wants a return on their purchase…of ActiVivendiBethesdaBlizzarKing
- Comment on Genderfluid 🚿 2 months ago:
If, while showering, your device is submerged to a depth where this distinct matters, you have way bigger issues to be dealing with…
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
Sorry I meant premium.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
My insurance is fully covered by my employer. It’s rare, but it does exist.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
Oh look! You’ve made the bribery problem even worse.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Hitting it big, In Indie terms, is making even $1 in profit, though.
Like 90% don’t even make back their budget
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Running smooth but encountering logical error that messes up the ability to play
Is different from
Sluggish performance and choppy rendering
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Except they’re not set up to be able to do that like the movie industry is.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Yeah, I went to school for it. Never broke in. Ended up with a much better and wayyyy more stable job.
Couldn’t imagine trying to get in now that every studio is owned by like ~3 companies.
- Comment on Former id Software producer says the team faced the 'worst crunch' in the series' history on Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations: 'There were days where I didn't see my son' 2 months ago:
You are not being paid overtime. Stop fucking doing that.
