- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 2 weeks ago:
This is just TOS enforcement, they updated their TOS in October. From the article:
Github updated its acceptable use policies in October 2025 to forbid “sexually themed or suggestive content that serves little or no purpose other than to solicit an erotic or shocking response, particularly where that content is amplified by its placement in profiles or other social contexts.” This include pornographic content and “graphic depictions of sexual acts including photographs, video, animation, drawings, computer-generated images, or text-based content,” according to the terms.
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 2 weeks ago:
I just buy whatever games come out that strike my fancy. It’s an industry problem that can only be solved by unionization.

This has become standard practice in this industry now. The play is to work for indie companies or bust.

I don’t know what to tell ya. This country sucks and always has. I’m just hoping this is things getting worse before they get a lot better.

My favorite hotel is the “C’mon inn” in Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, etc. It’s a small family-owned chain that charges about $100 per night and has rustic decor and always has a pool and a bunch of jacuzzis. Amazing service, tasty breakfast, low price, and I’m not feeding some gigantic corporation. It’s a matter of finding the smaller outfits, I tell ya.

I mean, I am an engineer who does customer-facing work… it’s not been my experience that sales and marketing people are this bad. I suppose maybe I just work for an exceptionally chill company, but wow, that really sucks.
I’m sure you’re just venting, but be sure to monitor your attitude going into work because this kind of resentment, if held at all times, will drive you insane.

Wow, tell me how you really feel about sales people. Jeez.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 3 months ago:
Developers very seldom communicate in a way that pleases their company leadership. There’s a reason support, sales and marketing people have jobs. If companies didn’t need them, they would cut them to save cost.
However, the developer should be able to put down their changes and whomever is in charge of communications should be using the change log as a chance to communicate to end users the changes in a friendly way. Not this nonsense. LLM could do it but it, but it’s best to have it written by a person.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 3 months ago:
Or that the person writing the changelog is in marketing and knows that end users will be seeing this as communication directly from the company. Marketing people tend to foam at the mouth when they see a chance to “connect with their users”.

No I’m talking about things that happen in the city I live in

This happens all the time in cities. The good cities take it as prompting to perform a traffic study and determine whether a crosswalk would be safe there, then implement one if possible. This happens in Seattle sometimes.

The point isn’t that you’re a leftist; it’s that we’re both leftists and we disagree on effective political strategies, and engaging in debate with you is pointless. I sincerely wish you well.
- Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole 6 months ago:
I don’t think any amount of discussion with you on this subject is going to change either of our minds on the federal government. I’m just gonna assume you’re a leftist and have your own approach to getting shit done that I’m not engaged with and wish you a good day.

You might not be saying that if/when someone who represents your interests gets into power. Remember, we got the ADA, Civil Rights, and more through widespread protest action. Things will continue to happen.
