• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bosses are using RTO mandates as a way to ‘blame employees as a scapegoat for bad firm performance,’ new research finds⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My company has done 6 layoffs in the past 18 months, all because of a bad bet the previous CEO made. It’s amazing how one person can tank a company, cost 100s of people their livelihoods, and walk away with a golden parachute and a new job of equal level at another larger company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  CK3 was the last straw for me. It’s been years, and the DLC released is both expensive and lacking in the mechanics of CK2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most desturbing thing when you look up your username in SteamDB?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Only 2000 hours in 19 years? Doesn’t feel right, but I guess many of my games aren’t from Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The average persons metabolism doesn't decline until 60⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This does not agree with real world observations at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saw this on Facebook 😍⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly why dividends need to be mandatory for profitable companies if we are not going to change the tax system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Original ‘Daredevil’ Showrunner Calls Out ‘Disney Scam’ of Naming New Series ‘Daredevil: Born Again’: It ‘Resets Contract Terms Back to First Season’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, their recent stuff that’s aimed at adults hasn’t been great. Most of the Star Wars series, for instance, sucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of. In the past investors were willing to be more patient, and company values were artificially high, because they were based on potential profits rather than actual profits. That’s shifting a bit as interest rates go up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. They should take this as the warning it is, and start work on moving to an engine not run by morons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Billionaire CEO says unemployment 'has to jump' to put 'arrogant' workers in their place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The ruling class has clearly shown that the economy and the stock market are not as interconnected as they have been in the past. The markets are terribly inflated, it NEEDS to go down, or the eventual crash is going to be 1920’s bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Billionaire CEO says unemployment 'has to jump' to put 'arrogant' workers in their place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Stock market needs to go down to put arrogant Billionaire in their place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got nearly the same specs (5800x and 6700XT), and mine crashes fairly often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield, is it getting review bombed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My first few hours weren’t fun, and I nearly stopped playing. It started getting fun when I abandoned the main quest and went out on my own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield, is it getting review bombed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I told my wife I’d have been thrilled to get this game in 2016. In 2023 it does feel dated though, If they don’t update the engine significantly before their next game it may actually hurt sales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I know they don’t want to switch, but it would be worth it to make the swap to something like unreal, even if it takes a few years of customization to get the open world stuff right. Creation Engine just feels so old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s system by system, I have the same cpu and do fairly well, admittedly with it boosting to 4.5ghz. My wife has the same cpu and it struggles on her machine. It feels like the game just wasn’t tested well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, no they didn’t. They didn’t even test adequately, more than a few GPUs that meet the requirements didn’t work when early access launched.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My kid has had smooth sailing with their well below specs PC. Makes me wonder what specs they used to test the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t get past the intro mission, it always crashes, and takes my whole PC with it.
