It is worth keeping in mind that, while Garrus did go Vigilante in ME2, the change in location does a lot to soften the harshness of that concept. He’s not running around the Citadel, with established laws and a police force with restrictions put on it in an effort to prevent abuse, he’s on Omega, a place where there…

where the human and asari LIs are basically one note tropes where most effort was in the cutscenes that were the most a non-18 rated game could get in terms of depicting people doing it, while the more alien choices such as Garrus and Tali are far more interesting as individuals where their actual “romance scenes”…

Oh, fuck off with this bullshit.

Anthony Mackie probably could after he takes your invitation to Falcon Punch you :D.

Yeah, when my company went through layoffs some years back, it was mid-week, not on a Friday. People are more likely to call in sick or have vacations planned on Fridays, after all, and doing it on a Wednesday or Thursday means that more of the office, and more of those that are to be laid off, are there to get the…

If its not a regular thing, sure. But a lot of companies just do it as a yearly thing in conjunction with discussions about bonuses, raises, and/or promotions. They’re annoying as hell, but if everyone’s doing a performance review at the same time, just like they did last year, it probably doesn’t mean anything other…

Firstly, short-selling creates a downward pressure on a stock, as a result of people selling it off as the initial stages of the shorting process. Its unclear what the price of the stock would be without the short-selling.

To be fair, the stock was being heavily depressed through overly-aggressive short-selling. Hedge Funds were short-selling the stock like the company was going out of business in the next two years, when the company still had enough revenue coming in to stay alive for several years yet.

Same. It’s feeling like 100% nostalgia-porn, but at least its not really trying to dress it up as anything else, so hey, why not see it when it hits a streaming thing?

I imagine that she doesn’t have a particularly large role in it, so she wouldn’t have to be on set for very long.

I get what you mean, but think about it this way: In this context, “hack” means someone getting permission to files, programs, electronic assets, or whatever through illict means.

Prestige. Cartoon shows just aren’t real cinema, you know? Who cares that the nature of the universe and story require things that are supremely difficult and expensive to pull off in live-action, it’s not really worth respecting unless its in live action!

Ugh, it really can be. I was lucky, I spent a year in Activision’s trenches, including some of the most mentally crushing work I’ve ever done, then got lucky enough to get hired by a smaller publisher who specializes in smaller live service games.

Yeah. I can imagine that QA was having troubles during development stemming from mismanagement, but the problems with CP2077 are way, way beyond that.

Why? The CEO in question for the article is the CEO of a QA testing company, after all, seems relevant.

Or someone that’s on the verge of being promoted out of QA, yeah. But still, there are experienced QA testers that don’t bounce around from project to project out there.

Also the idea of requesting veteran testers is hilarious. This whole fucking industry treats testers like cattle. Working for one company as long as I did is more rare than it should be. Most of QA lives on contracts that expire at unknown dates, they don’t get the opportunity to be “veteran” testers.

Oh, I do get that part of it, wanting to protect a language is important, its a critical building block in a culture.
