- Comment on The Witcher 4's development is "more console-first", but don't worry, CD Projekt will still try and turn your PC into the sun 1 day ago:
Makes sense. CP2077 they completely ignored at release that the game was unplayable on all the consoles the suits promised.
- Comment on Driver stops in the middle of a cross ride, and starts using her phone. 1 day ago:

- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? Google says a new AI tool on its search engine will rejuvenate the internet. Others predict an apocalypse for websites. 4 days ago:
Google has been floundering since chatgpt came online. Their press releases all sound the same to me. “We haven’t had real competition for so long that we got complacent, and now we’re not really sure what to do”
- Comment on What in the... 6 days ago:
To all the young engineers here, this is one of those things that seems really funny and a great idea at the time, but lasts way past the joke being funny.
If you name your services Megatron or aragorn then be ready for business and executives to use those names for 10+ years. The joke is officially dead when you force someone 3 layers above you to demand “why did Galactica go down over the weekend, who is responsible?!”. Be thoughtful in your naming.

No leg to stand on if you aren’t providing the proof of what you said. We’re forced to side with the mod unless you can prove what you said wasn’t worth removing.

I’ll have to check it out now, I do love her.
However, off topic, does she follow the Bajoran faith? She’s wearing the earring.

- Comment on Activision Quietly Force Adverts into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Loadouts and Players Absolutely Hate It: 'At This Point It Really Feels Like Opening Up a Mobile Game' 2 weeks ago:
That’s good context, you’re right the title made it sound like they were advertising KFC at startup. But, then again, an ads an ad.
- Comment on ZeniMax QA workers have reached a tentative contract agreement with Microsoft, paving the way for better wages and more 2 weeks ago:
Good. Microsoft has been taking advantage of contractors for decades to avoid paying real salaries
- Comment on Activision Quietly Force Adverts into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Loadouts and Players Absolutely Hate It: 'At This Point It Really Feels Like Opening Up a Mobile Game' 2 weeks ago:
So… They stopped playing right? Because there are a lot of similar games without ads, so why would people just put up with it. Right?

- Comment on Jenna Fischer Says the Later Seasons of ‘The Office’ Are ‘Really Good’ Despite ‘Belief’ that the Show Was ‘Treading Water’ After Steve Carell’s Exit: ‘There Were Still These Amazing Storylines’ 2 weeks ago:
I love Jenna Fischer, but I mean, this was like the top of her career too unfortunately. She’s always going to be pam Beasley. So I wouldn’t expect her to say anything different
- Comment on Real-world map data is helping make better games about farms and transportation 3 weeks ago:
NIMBY Rails has been insanely fun. Their tagline is politicians are wrong, you know what’s best for your community or something like that. Very fun to make the transit systems we should have, and very satisfying to see ridership on those systems
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
God knows if they needed a medical procedure and the most qualified doctor was in France or China or anywhere, they would demand that they should be treated.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 3 weeks ago:
I’d like to see creators who own their rights put in contracts that the story must be told in full, and that whatever pacing is decided on (1 season per book for example) needs to be maintained. I know most studios would walk away, but I’d love for someone to have the balls to tell them that
You want to make my 10 book series into a TV show? Put your money where your mouth is and pony up 10 seasons worth

- Comment on George R. R. Martin's New Announcement Has Finally Made Me Accept He's Never Finishing The Winds Of Winter 3 weeks ago:
I decided when the show was on that I’d love to buy and read the books, when they’re finished. We’re over a decade past that and still haven’t bothered to even crack open the first. Doubt I ever will

I was going to say, wait another reboot?
- Comment on Are there any plot arcs, or missed opportunities from any TV series that were abandoned that you think should've been picked up or continued? 3 weeks ago:
Little Randy, Lucy and Bo-bandy’s kid. What happened to little random? They covered the story by saying they put the little maf up for adoption, but other than that the little cheeseburger driving kid was never spoken of again.
- Comment on Star Citizen Loses 'Integral Staff' Responsible for Server Meshing 3 weeks ago:
So they have rounds of layoffs, staff feel less secure in their role, and they’re surprised that knowledgeable and easily employable experts are leaving for more stable roles?
- Comment on Streaming Ad Tiers Catch Fire, Make Up Nearly Half Of U.S. Subscriptions For SVODs That Offer Them, Study Says 4 weeks ago:
I’ve learned to never hope for the best when it comes to consumers. They have been trained to happily hand over their money and time for worse experiences. They is no breaking point that they’ll come across where they finally stop paying, even if they surpass the ability to even afford it.
It doesn’t matter if Netflix is shitty. They’ll pay for it, because how would they go on without it? They’ll pay more for more ads, and it’ll just be accepted. We here are the minority.
- Comment on What are some of your unpopular opinions, hot takes about series, streaming services, the wider industry etc? 4 weeks ago:
Seasons 1 - Battle of the Bastards was some of the best television I’ve seen in my life. Truly masterpiece, all the way through. I’ve never seen that level of excitement either from fans, we had watch parties every year. That’s what made the ending sting so badly, was because of how good it was.
