There are people I’m friendly with, and people I’m friends with. One group is completely isolated from work, and it’s definitely not the former.

For me, the absolute last thing I want is work friends. You’re lucky I bother to learn your name.

You are the reason more people want to stay home and not babysit people who can’t make friends outside of the office. 

I’ve never made a friend at work and never really wanted to.

That’s a problem with the managers, not the employees.  If a manager can’t tell by the employee’s capacity and velocity if they’re working or not, neither of them need to be employed.  Having a crappy company culture where there’s no accountability isn’t a good reason to deny an entire generation more freedom and to…

Man using paying customers to perform open road beta tests of self driving software that is explicitly designed to disregard road laws in favor of convenience has opinions on morality.

What. A. Shock. When Overwatch 2 was announced they played up the PvE as a major feature, as soon as they announced that the game would be launching with a focus on the multiplayer first, I knew the PvE content was dead. And this basically confirms that suspicion.

Overwatch died for this, rofl. So OW2 is now just a large patch, period. Not a sequel (rofl) and not even an expansion, just a big patch after a VERY long dry spell.

In the old days, cartels and war criminals invested in art as a way to launder their wealth, but paintings take time and effort and (usually) talent. Then block chain cleverly allowed people to independently verify, without government interference, data on a collective series of spreadsheets whose faith is held in the…

Yeah all of the stuff that this can do is equally possible and easier with a simple database. Each one gets an ID and a randomly generated Uthentication Code (I misspelled “Authentication” but considering we’re talking about Ubisoft they would likely brand it like that anyways so I kept it lol) and you register it to…

NFT’s exist because of the number of people who looked at bitcoin and thought it was useless are furious with themselves for ‘missing the next big thing’ - this type of environment is what created the term ‘snake oil salesman’.

Yeah, “at least” with this, there is actually something physical to have (even though they are numbered and thus creating manufactured scarcity). The NFT part is completely just tacked on. The idea of a physical toy unlocking something in an app is hardly anything new. 

I’m still confused as to why the NFT is a necessity for this. The cube thing is silly but the idea of buying a little cube knick knack and going on an app adventure is okay. But why NFT? None of that is needed for this at all.

Aside from a map littered with icons, what open world design issue did BotW solve?

Honestly even knowing this info now, I still can’t justify finishing BOTW, I only had one Divine Beast left and then Ganon and just so many things about the game were incredibly frustrating.

Streaming might be an option in a country with modern infrastructure like Estonia, but not in third world countries like most of the USA.

This feels like a bad take.

Congratulations to Microsoft for being saved from itself, and to all the lawyers who will be involved in whatever shitshow Activision was hoping to stick Microsoft with and run away.

Sweet! Looking forward to the EU and the FTC following suit!
