I’m not normally a “VIDEO GAME NERDS ARE UNDATEABLE LOSERS HURR DURR” sort but if you live in a large American city like New York and are standing in line for a video game release in 2023. Like I’d actually get it if this was a video game store that served a rural community where folks have shitty internet and have to…

As I said in my original comment, yeah coding is probably not one of those fields but the opening statement was a totalizing one.

I mean end of the day it’s not even necessarily about micromanaging. Blizzard’s management team may not feel that they are and if they aren’t technically capable enough to utilize their collaboration tools to effectively manage then they’ll bring people in and ultimately either the employment market will support them…

I participated in closing a large syndicated loan deal and a merger between two sizable companies during the heart of the pandemic where the closing days were just an absolute shitshow where having the core team in the typical “warroom” setup would have ensured communication happened more smoothly because all the…

I think for certain types of work, coding being one of them, that’s true. I think for other types of work the communications and collaborative tools that are out there just don’t quite cut it yet, especially if you are down to the wire on big projects.

Honestly it’s sort of wild that Nintendo is able to hold people’s attention with such underwhelming hardware. It’s really a testament to how well loved their first party stuff is.

Wouldn’t change the outcome in an NBA game but all of you are aware that taunting is good for a instant technical and can be a fine nowadays, yeah? And it’s not something the refs miss or ignore either. They’re even more strict about it in the NFL.

That’s true but also besides the point.  There’s plenty of support amongst Republican voters for many of the most basic measures and the get nowhere because those voters don’t carefully monitor what their politicians are actually doing and primary them.

people don’t want to get swept up in the net here the thing to do is to go ahead and find and punish the pirates yourselves.

In fact they probably don’t have it legally.  

If she wasn’t right we’d have long since had universal background checks and probably even an assault weapon ban because supermajorities have always favored those.

It’s not just about the court. The court is a convenient bogeyman for shifting the blame onto GOP elites.

Look, literally every statement of fact about opinions you have raised is true. Every single one.

The estate’s worth about $15 billion pounds.  Generating a whopping 2% in terms of taxable income off that estate is some weak chinned nonsense.  

Is it okay if I think

Zaslav’s cash salary is about $3MM. That $250 is an options grant that vests over time that could just as easily wind up worthless given how equity option compensation works.

Okay that’s how Holmes is trying to do it, yes, and it’s kind of an interesting phenomena to observe up close. In fact she’s not just using her children because conveniently she has them, she’s had children clearly as a tactical maneuver.  That’s pretty wild and I’m glad someone did an up close profile of someone…

In short: Chozick got rolled. Her editor told her she got rolled. And then the paper published the whole glowing piece anyway for some reason, clearly helping to rehabilitate this white collar (and white) criminal’s reputation ahead of her prison sentence—right at the time that Holmes still trying to get out of…

LOL the preciousness of referring to her as “wholesome” is what brings out the mocking.  As far as I’m concerned she’s entitled to every dollar she’s ever earned, but the credulousness with which we’re supposed to pretend she’s not leveraging the very objectification that Kotaku gets so sanctimonious about is…

It’s almost enough to make you question the whole “AI shouldn’t replace the writers” windmill that is being needlessly tilted at.
