The people who aren’t vaxxed and don’t mask probably are also less likely to be testing themselves each and every time they get a sore throat or the sniffles.

You might not, but your (or someone else’s) organization might use a background check company that does. I’ve absolutely had my basic-as-hell English degree flagged by a background check because I put the wrong graduation year in. And I’ve been a manager and seen similar things - the background check stuff was handled…

i’ve never scene anything structured or formal, unfortunately. being in a studio environment and working directly with other disciplines was the most important part for me. that lets you build relationships and find mentors in the discipline you want to move into. ultimately the people who move on are the ones who…

Gender affirming healthcare doesn’t just include hrt and surgery. Puberty blockers only delay the onset of puberty changes, which can give teenagers the time to explore their identity without the onset of physical changes that cannot be reversed.

But like horse armor, most will likely not change what they buy over it. So it will quite possibly end up the same way, regardless of how loud you or the majority of us here bitch about it.

The reason behind that is that you can push people to do far more than they’d normally do if they are expecting a job offering once the contract is over. The whole carrot+stick thing is extremely effective in that scenario. Lie to people and tell them that if they perform now, they can expect a pay raise and a…

The signature thing makes me do some serious self reflection. It’s sad to think about. Like, that’s the kind of thing I (a guy) might joke about with some of my close friends (who are guys). It’s something crude but ultimately harmless with a certain group.

The idea that you can make $150k in the trades is one of the most misleading and damaging interjections into this convo, partly because it’s true, for a few people. You can gross $200k as an independent plumber, late in your career, but by the time you pay for the tools, the van, the parking, the boots ($200/pair and…

Garrus is sexy, smart, and has saved my ass countless times. He might be BioWare’s best character ever.

How is it we can accept Buzz Lightyear: Star Command, but we can't wrap our heads around the same concept as a movie?

A broker. For sale by owner conventionally means there is no intermediary broker involved in the transaction (on the sellers side).

(Over) exaggerate: An exaggeration is a more extreme or dramatic representation of something. The “over” is redundant.

I dunno. Dropping a giant clown head on someone, opening a multimissile launcher, that shows more missiles, that then adds more missiles? Driving a car from rooftop to rooftop? It’s got potential. And it looks like it can be fun.

For those that have not given saints row a chance because it either looked like a GTA clone or felt like its humor too much, hear me out:

What a beautiful story of persistence and purpose of self. Good on him for finding and following it until the end. People like him make me enjoy gaming more.

People have been saying the market is on the cusp of collapsing for years. If it crashes 20% it’ll be at numbers that it was at 9 months ago. 40% it’ll match 19 months ago.

Keep in mind too, that’s “50k as average for QA.” From what I understand that includes all software QA, and there’s a big difference between doing QA for non-games software, and for games, because there’s a much bigger pool of people willing to take jobs doing Game QA because they think it’s “getting paid to play…

They mention that the $50k is the industry average via Glassdoor, at a national level, not that it’s the salary at Blizzard. Blizzard is *below* that average.

Another tech demo without art direction.
