What doesn’t get you any energy at night? Yep, solar.

In the last 5-7 years they’ve gotten ranges to 300 miles, with Rivian and Lucid looking to 500 miles within the next 2 years. So you don’t think in 15 years automakers won’t be able to out-range ICE engines?

I thought “Need for Speed: Payback & Vampyr” was one single title.

Well, you’re also missing that it’s paid overtime in this case...

most of the comments in here are people who have never and will never work in software development, crunch is a fact it happens on a vast majority of projects because people are easier to move than project deadlines, especially if the deadlines already been moved before.

I don’t think it’s even possible to do something creative and not have “crunch” time at the end of the project. I don’t know a single art student/programmer in college who has ever finished all their assignments way before the deadline, nor graphic designer or anyone in the industry. Every creative underestimates the…

Barring further evidence of ridiculousness, I don’t know if I’d call 6 day work weeks the last month to month and a half with OT pay as being inhumane, or some serious transgression. Its not great, not fun, but nothing that hasn’t been experienced by anyone working in an industry with certain periods of burst…

So normal weekly work + an extra day of overtime time pay for maybe 6-8 weeks (and probably due to the pandemic than anything else)?

It’s a “work saturdays for a month or so” level of crunch, not the cancerous “70 hours for 18 months” level that gets thrown around by other developers. Even if they worked at 100% until then, it’d only add, what, 1-2 weeks of work onto the project? It’d still be November, but with so much money already tied up in…

Debates on crunch aren’t so black and white, especially within the industry. Being more humane about crunch, and paying the overtime is pretty important; myself and my peers haven’t experienced the extreme toxic crunch that often gets reported on, nor none of us lost the drive to make games. I hear all the time that…

This doesn’t seem like that big of a deal compared to what we normally hear about though. They’re having people work Saturdays for a while, which is a pretty normal thing for businesses when its needed. It doesn’t sound like they’re telling people they have to be there for 16 hour+ days or work 80+ hour weeks.

Normally I defend their selections somewhat, but this one... this one is pathetic.  It’s clear they’re trying to stick with a Halloween theme for it, but the only game of worth up there is Costume Quest...That first XB1 Title looks like it’s a trash “indie” game like you’d see on the early days of the 360's catalogue…

I liked this line to open it up:

The basic Xbox One controller was excellent, glad they didn’t reinvent the wheel. 

Why does ANYONE want a dedicated share button? Ugh.

Hotshot Racing is another one that came out earlier this month. It’s basically a love letter to 90's arcade racers like Daytona USA and Ridge Racer.

Yeah, my dad is always spouting thinly-veiled right wing talking points about how he’s “been hearing” that a lot of people are just abandoning California because it’s so difficult to do business there. And I’m like “oh, you mean the California with so many jobs that there aren’t enough houses for everyone, keeping…

Costing the taxpayers money, and tying up the courts, only to fight a losing battle while padding a bunch of lawyers' checkbooks.

Michigan lawmakers making life harder for Michiganders?

They aren’t choosing to give Tesla a different set of rules. They are being forced to because they lost in court. Rivian will probably win too but they will need to drag the state into court like Tesla did.
