I’m trying to think of a colder reception hall for hell....

Peggy Carter would be proud of this legacy.

When everyone wants to take something out of the pot, but nobody wants to put anything in....

Oh, I’m aware of his history at Activision. But he didn’t just jump into that position from no where. He has a history of being promoted specifically because of his sociopathy. He bought Activision by way of the money he made as a result of being hired and promoted when he should have been passed over -- hired and…

Cybersecurity ‘by Capitalism’ only works when their is a clear, definable, and significant monetary cost associated with failing at it, a cost that cannot be passed along to someone else. Thus far, the entire industry in the US is ass backwards, and the US’s approach to ‘improving’ cybersecurity changes nothing about…

That would be applicable if the executives took paycuts when sales take a down turn. But they don’t then *EITHER*. Furthermore, regular employees *OFTEN* get pay cuts during sales booms OR busts even while shareholders and executives get giant bonuses.

This is true. Blend shapes are essentially an advanced application of vertex animations (like those used in the original Quake), where literally every single vertex is individually animated, which makes them much more computationally expensive than bone-based character/face rigs that almost immediately replaced vertex…

The real trick is making the performance captures portable. It’s far, far simpler (which isn’t to say it’s simple) to apply a performance capture to a 3d model that is designed to be an exact duplicate of the physical reference. You can be sure that all the subtle subsurface motions of bone and muscle structures…

It’s hard to get people to care about consequences that they won’t personally experience. Like a drug addict whose overdoses kill *other* people but leaves the addict unscathed.

Thank you for reminding me that. It’s a perfect example of just how far down the delusional rabbit hole over 30-million Americans have fallen to maintain their belief in Conservative America dogma.

Once again illustrating that the only way to get ‘wealthy’ is by taking for one’s self the value of other people’s labors without earning it. The entire structure of the world ‘economy’ is built around this predatory dynamic. You want a better world? Start by tearing down the institutions that build ‘wealth’ because…

Hypocrisy — it’s the (Conservative) American Way!

Activision Blizzard’s CEO should have resigned a long time ago

The continued existence of people like Tucker Carlson is proof that there is no karma, no justice, no civilized society, no God, and no hell in which they all belong.

And they’re all known Proud Boy members — ie the Racist-Pride Group. Rittenhouse is as racist as they come, in the proud of tradition of KKK lynchings, church burnings, and so forth.

While superficially this will have some impact, Kotick and his protectors will still pull in their bloated salaries, while the employees who’ve had to put up with this bullshit will take pay cuts or be let go. Which is why the executive culture is a festering cancerous wasteland — there’s no effective way to attack it…

And you think this bro culture only exists at the top of Activision? That it and an army of apologists and sycophants don’t represent a sizable portion of Activision’s customers? You’re dreaming if you think there will be enough customer traction to change corporate executive culture, be it Activision or anywhere…

...$30 to buy or $25 to rent.

To be clear, there’s a reason why these mines are located where they are, and it’s only loosely correlated with mineral availability. Mostly it has to do with lax or non-existent environmental and worker safety regulations, extremely depressed wages and quality of living, and a local government that’s easy and/or…

Most jobs have absolutely no value to society — they exist to feed the age-old parasitism of the wealthy and nothing else. If ‘we’ got rid of all those jobs, ‘we’ would find that it takes a shockingly TINY amount of labor to keep the world running. But the wealthy need all their cogs operating their carefully…
