- Comment on Me when I hear about Elon Musk 1 day ago:
He continues to do all he can to help Putin and sell out veterans and the elderly by attacking veteran benefit funding, cancer research, Medicare, social security…. He’s an extremely loud and proud anti-union anti-worker rights advocate, sexual predator, all-around man child who sides with Putin and authoritarian groups that do as well like the AFD. During the election he joked about Kamala getting assassinated multiple times, I could go on and on and on.
But yeah, so weird nobody fucking likes the elitist bastard… how strange.
- Comment on Tired of hearing about “The offshore team” 1 day ago:
Because just that one company has shifted to cheaper offshore work right? Surely the entire industry just about isn’t doing the exact same thing right?
- Comment on Tired of hearing about “The offshore team” 1 day ago:
Literally everyone who voted on your comments downvoted you, aside from yourself…

My company is WFH but they tell me if I move more than a few hours drive from my local “hybrid” office it’s akin to quitting. My company is not alone in this.
- Comment on Tired of hearing about “The offshore team” 1 day ago:
You had to work with Indians to realize they’re just like us? 💀
- Comment on Tired of hearing about “The offshore team” 1 day ago:
I’ve had really good and really bad experiences with contractor companies from India. It’s truly hit or miss and more often than not you don’t get the same quality of code or commitment (contractor or not)
That said, I agree with pay. They work for cheap and it really hurts the industry here at home while helping the c-suite pocket more of the profits.
- Comment on Tired of hearing about “The offshore team” 2 days ago:
Not to mention the fact that the qualifications and the ability to communicate complex concepts and information without issue (in the language used by the rest of the company on shore) are almost always extremely subpar.
Too often I’m asked questions and I give thorough examples and ask if it makes sense and get a “yes” back immediately and then the next day rolls around and I’m asked the same questions by the same people and am forced to repeat the process.
I’m told these contractors are seniors with 10+ years of experience but act like junior interns.
But hey, the c-suite sees the real incentives here! Cheap labor!
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 2 days ago:
Son has been screaming the exact opposite of this and it continues to garner them a fuck ton of cash.
There’s no way they actually believe that, the C-suite simply can’t stop salivating over the potential money a live service game can potentially provide

You’re the one taking it to gooner/sexist territory, is fans of the series now the characters and when the overall face-shop changes but keeps defining features like the scar on her cheek, it’s a little unexpected and strange at first.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
I agree.
As someone else pointed out, Geralt looked quite different in the game vs the first cinematic launch trailer.

So who knows, time will tell. Also keep in mind it’s a new engine

- Comment on Chrome’s New War: Killing Ad Blockers 3 weeks ago:
Brave has plenty of problems and chromium base is only one of them, here’s some easy examples from recent history:
androidpolice.com/…/brave-browser-caught-adding-i…
The issue came to widespread attention yesterday, when Twitter user @Cryptonator1337 pointed out that Brave Browser auto-filled a referral code to the end of the web address when “binance.us” is typed into the address bar. Binance is a cryptocurrency trading website, and with that referral code, Brave Software could earn 20% from trading fees for every account created using the link.
cryptobriefing.com/basic-attention-token-rebounds…
Key Takeaways
- Brave browser reportedly redirected its users to the company’s own referral links when navigating to different platforms such as Binance, Coinbase, and others.
- Following the incident, the price of Basic Attention Token plummeted over 6%.
- But over the last few hours, the bulls appear to have stepped in, signaling that BAT is poised for further gains.
While we’re at it fuck every chromium-based browser. Just helping google conquer the internet that much faster.
- Comment on Chrome’s New War: Killing Ad Blockers 3 weeks ago:
The fuck you mean “new”? They have been trying to force chromium based browsers on everyone in part for this exact reason
- Comment on [SomeOrdinaryGamers] Twitch Is A Disgustingly Evil Platform... 1 month ago:
It’s a bit different when you have sponsored streamers giving literal terrorists a platform (such as a Houthi pirate who posts about personally murdering every jew), and sponsored stream events at the company con that rank people from Arab to Zionist/sabra, and banning all new users from israel IPs.
It’s not just about a stance not being taken, twitch clearly has taken a stance.
This is all quite a bit far passed the whole “trying not to piss off one group or another”
I’m not saying this should be news but you’re definitely being reductive with this comment I’d “every public platform ever”.
Fuck twitch, fuck the platforming and acceptance of Hamas/houthis/hazbollah right along with the IDF as well.

Because it’s clearly a fucking 13-year-old scam, it’ll be goddamn voting age before its released
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 1 month ago:
Early access is one thing, production on this thing begin TWENTY GODDAMN ELEVEN.
thirteen years ago, that ain’t early access, that’s a fucking scam that ain’t ever delivering

Automatically assume the worst? WE’VE HAD OVER A DECADE to get to this point.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 1 month ago:
LMAO you’re the MAGA-parallel here.
Is it really “love to hate” or is it just that after a decade of failed and ignored promises and dates year after year after year nobody has any real faith. 65 million dollars in stretch goals and it’s still a fucking broken mess, endless examples.
The squadron demo fucking crashed when it was shown at the con, yet its feature complete but also not releasing until 2026.
Have you even seen the insanity that is the stretch goals? robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals
It’s all but a grift, and here you are defending the grifters. Maybe in ANOTHER decade they’ll actually deliver what people were promised (and paid for!) years and years ago.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 1 month ago:
Looks like a fun game isn’t what is being discussed here.
What IS being discussed is if this so called “feature complete” game is ever gonna come out. If its feature complete how is it crashing in the first demo they show? 2026 is a long ways away for a feature complete game.
As a dev, I realize feature complete doesn’t mean done but it also doesn’t mean an extra two years lead time before release either.
Just like the rest of Star citizen, aspirational date after date with no serious commitment. What they do release is either a little or a lot broken. This shits been going on for over a decade, but yeah it’s totally different now (but like, not now, but in 2026!)
….but it lOoKs LiKe A fUn GaMe!!!

Hey look, it’s one of those gullible marks.
“Feature complete” but they can’t release it for another two years? Hmmm…… 🤔
As a dev myself this shit is hilarious
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 1 month ago:
12+ years
hundreds of milllions of dollars invested
65+ million dollars in stretch goal funding
cool tech demo that you can play
hahahahahahahahahahaha

Classic, the person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about is SO sure that they know the truth. So much so they’re out here correcting people and handing out false info.
so the engine they are building is actually pretty good
Keep living in a false reality pal. I’m sure you k or so much more than the engine dev who replied to you
