so i switch between an xbox controller and a switch controller for the same game (play different platforms with different friends)

i’m good 99% of the time when it tells me to hit the A button- bottom button on xbox, right button on the switch! dont even think about it.

but if i even GLANCE at the controller at any…

yeah same for me. like i hate paying $10 a month for spotify when i really listen to the same 30 songs all year long. buying all of them on CD or digitally costs $20.

so, i just own every song.  but the 10 games i want on xbox are about $600- but theyre all on game pass for $15 a  month, and ive seen so many deals…

so about 12 years ago my $99 brand new Xbox 360 slim ran circles around a $500 gaming computer, and was about the same as an $800 gaming PC.

i later built a pretty basic gaming PC for about $500, which was noticeably better than a PS4/Xbox 1 for most games. but, over time and after various updates for individual…

I know several people making $70-100,000 who use mint. $20 a month for the best service i’ve ever had. Meanwhile i’ve met plenty of people who have $150 a month plans and make less than minimum wage.

I’ve had my mint account for years- i can understand them wanting to block spammers, but this is a really silly way to…

16 is poverty wages.  is that someone a big impressive number to you?  i wouldnt work their job and deal with customers like you for 100 an hour

i had a friend with likely autism who worked for gamestop and constantly bragged about “the discounts”.

They were 10% total.

I explained as best as i could that a 10% discount for $12 hours worked, assuming you spent every single penny on games, was $1.20 max.
A $22 an hour office job nearly doubled that discount, every…

did you never once learn that basic office jobs pay 2-3x as much for easier work? 

lol you’re mad at the dude pointing out that people licking the boot for 11 years are an issue.

get a real job you fucking child and stop blaming capitalists or libertarians or whatever else you blame for your shit life. 

Gamestop cultists continue to put up with cult behavior

Less, at 11

fixed that for ya

no matter where she works in America it’ll be more of the same. fighting to improve her own workplace is the better option. 

I never go out on black friday, but the last year before covid i had a medical appointment at like 7am across from a gamestop. Out of curiousity i stopped in, and there were maybe 5-6 people in the whole store.

When i worked a gamestop black friday like 15 years ago, we had a line out the door at that time. I asked,…

I enjoy a good scam. I like Catch me if you Can. I enjoy someone sneaking into a government building with a fake excuse. I got an absolutely perfect fake email from Paypal asking for me to type in my password and log in because i was hacked- but it was routed out of europe, where paypal didn’t have offices.

NFTs arent…

i joined the game industry with Reckoning, and left it right after. I always just wanted to make a nintendo game- not necessarily a nintendo IP, but a game on a nintendo system.

a solid 10 years after i left reckoning and the industry as a whole, the surprise-but-hinted at remake/rebirth came out on switch, finally…

a wonderful summary from ...i forget where, said Hank would have distrusted Hillary but found Trump’s crude manner, cheating on his wife etc really disgusting and would have voted Hillary out of disgust.

Boomhauer would likely just not vote, Bill would do whatever Hank did and Rusty Shackelford would have used that…

he was pleasant enough when i worked with him, but he sure went crazy later. he may have always been like that, just less public about it

Having worked on Reckoning for 2 years, I wouldn’t say the low sales were that much of an issue. As I recall, Reckoning sold far more than its budget, enough money to hold us over while we finished finding a publisher for the sequel that was already in the planning phase.

The bigger issue was that Reckoning, which was…

i met a few of my current friends at a charity event fundraiser to pay for the expenses of a game developer who killed themself rather than work another 80 hour week

they had kids of course

just another day in good ol america!

Wait, they stopped hiring single moms and teenagers with siblings?! Since when?!?

The game industry pays crap.  I make 3x as much with the same job title elsewhere. 

yeah i left the game industry when my studio was shut down and make 3x the pay with half the hours.  

wait, did the game industry stop hiring teens and moms and i missed it?!?

also, senior porgrammers might make 100,000 and drive teslas but most your artists, developers and QA are making 30-55k and are driving used Camrys

just for laughs though I’m going to show your post to 3 different developer women juggling 2-3 kids…
