Having worked with SE in the past (I was part of a smaller company they owned), I can say it is the most soulless, rapacious, clueless bunch of morons I have ever worked with in an industry that has no shortage of those.

Make no mistake, Keffals isn’t a saint either. She caused a dogpile on a black trans person for daring to disagree with her. She’s advocated for trans rights, yes. But it’s given her a MASSIVE ego. A lot of the trans community can’t stand her.

Keffals had the thumbnail of Destiny up on her stream for over 30 minutes with the F slur on the screen beside him. Both showing banned people and having slurs on screen are against Twitch TOS.

Literally no one above said anything bigoted yet. But I guess you are trying to get ahead of them.

Well, he says he’s searching for Capital-T-Truth so much that it sounds like crooks when they say “gonna be honest with you”. Yep.

I also think he's got the thin skin of an academic and an authority figure. So much of where he went was wrapped up in antagonism towards students who dared to criticize him for something trivial. Instead of taking the hit he turned his sense of intellectual superiority over his students into a whole crusade.

Red Dead Redemption (the first one) on series X is awesome with the backwards compatibility enhancements. I played it on xbox one before the more recent enhancements and the game was awesome.

Rockstar: “GTA Fans, what would you like in a GTA remaster?”

It’s actually not that surprising. Sony has always been outwardly hostile to its own legacy. They just don’t see why people would want to play old games, especially if they could just sell you a remaster.

Is Zenimax not under Microsoft’s insurance policies and stuff? https://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft/microsoft-says-employees-will-continue-to-have-access-to-abortion-and-gender-affirming-care-anywhere-in-the-u-s/

“Lifestyle” is a word that many queer people find delegitimizing...

Yep, don’t vote for the Democrats.  It’s exactly what Republicans want you to do if you’re not going to vote GQP either.

Funny how all these people who claim to be anti capitalist and anti ceo and anti corporation now want corporations to be responsible for their reproduction. It’s hilarious what mindless tools people are. Have fun being corporate slaves. 

“In spite of Leder’s comments intended to “reassure” employees about the company’s stance on reproductive healthcare, employees remain frustrated by what they see as an unwillingness to be clear and specific in its commitments.”

I’ve been part of two large corporations (Amazon being one of them) and HR is usually a pretty good bet. HR was broken at Blizzard for sure but I have a feeling Microsoft has a fairly competant HR department. (Look at the advances they’re making for employees first. Stopping forced arbitration among them.)

The Dreamcast seemed to do everything right. I loved it. I was reading video game news at the time, and I’ve still never really understood what happened.

People don’t understand that you can praise Saturn for being a neat bit of technology with a collection of solid and fun games while also acknowledging that it was an abject failure outside of Japan.

Totally agree.

Yeah, one of my first thoughts after hearing about the acquisition was that MS is too big, too mature a company, and too risk-averse to put up with any of the BS that happened on Kotick’s watch. I could be wrong, but I bet MS wants a highly profitable video game company, not a near-constant HR headache (if not…
