No, the classes are not “coming back”. Classes with no weapons restriction are only half of what they were before.

Damn that’s ugly.

It should be a tough, relevant watch. We probably need more stories that hammer this point home. I work with ppl that still say “I don’t believe in the vaccine”, and that’s in the face of other co-workers getting sick 3-4 times over now. It’s both infuriating and exhausting, but they are brainwashed, plain and simple.

Whether you need a case or not depends on a couple things. Are you prone to dropping it, and how do you typically carry it around? I have only dropped my phone maybe 3 times in well over a decade, and I tend to by pants with a dedicated phone pocket.  The only reason I have had a case for my last 3 phones is because…

Does it? I get the “need to work > 40% or 50% of the project” requirement, but getting sidelined by people who worked a quarter what you did on the project doesn’t sit well with me.

(Of course, so many people left, I wonder if that was in part to avoid making it look like 1000 people worked on it rather than to punish…

Companies be like “you worked 9 months on the project but left before launch? Well you’re not getting in the credits. Meanwhile see this baby that one of the programmer’s wife birthed during production of this game? Well here’s its name right there in the credits!”

I think this is exactly the point. Words on a screen cost studios nothing. If it ultimately doesn’t matter — why omit anyone? Just because it’s a practice that is practiced doesn’t make it an okay practice.

On the one hand this does kinda suck, on the other, consider the potential value of NOT being in the credits for Callisto Protocol.

Since when should the solution to a company doing something shitty be “get used to it”? It doesn’t have to be this way, y’know. You could organize and fight for actual change instead of continuing to go without credit.

It sucks to see someone break away from a gaint and crappy publisher and continue the same lousy practices in their own business.

Yikes.

“just ignore it and it’ll pass over time”

It’s not really “looking for reasons” when Rowling has very publicly made those statements…but this is all spoken like someone who probably has never had to deal with comments like these directed and them. Must be nice. 

People aren’t “looking for reasons” to be angry. People are rightfully angry over transphobia, and this game is based on the franchise created by one of the world’s most visible transphobes. And fuuuuuuuuuck you and your stance of “ignore it and it’ll go away”. That’s not how social change works. The trans community…

 Amazing you were able to type something so stupid while gargling Putin's balls. 

‘Russia joined the conflict’? The whole ‘civil war’ was instigated, organized and managed by Russia.

‘Narrative towards peace’? Translation: ‘yielding to Russian bullying in the hope that somehow they will be pleased with that and will not start again in a few years’.

I don’t understand the beginning of this article. How is Russian’s invasion of Ukraine not felt all over the news still? Sure, not every article is about events within Ukraine itself, but everything on the front pages are direct consequences to Putin’s unjust war. Is it an American perspective?

A significant number of the Unity Developers where I work - work in Ukraine, I’m always low-key worried about them. I’ve given training sessions to people with air raid sirens sounding in the background, had presenters dissapear during meetings due to sudden power outages, and had people tell me “I’ll try to do that…

We have a couple designers that work from home in Ukraine... and it makes me beyond sad that they’re in a position where they have to confirm they’re still ok at the start of a zoom session.

an artist isn’t the style or product they output, its the creativity they bring to the table. AI generated art literally cannot replace that.
