I got laid off last week. I will gladly talk sh%$ about my last company, after my references check out and I land a new job.

Until then: I am super happy with the amazing opportunity (insert lying cheating bastard company’s name) provided me. I will forever be grateful that we worked on such incredible projects…

I’m with you, dude had the get rich/famous quick mentality that does not gel in any way with a real life corporate job. A job which is, surprise, not glamorous in the least. Where if you do it right, no one will ever notice you were doing it at all. If people like him ran the world, nothing would get done.

I still…

These are the rockstars that roll in, make changes, claim everything is amazing, and bounce (from company or project). Then it gets deployed and they can yell, “Worked when I left!”

He explained to some Twitter users that the reason he quit was because he “expected the environment of a startup and found something very different.”

I mean you’ve sort of got him pegged. I’d contrast this with John Carmack who left Meta after 3+ years because he just couldn’t get anything optimized.

It’s almost as if hacking a PS3 doesn’t necessarily qualify you to completely recode the search engine of one of the biggest social media platforms on the planet.

Surprise, surprise. Sadly he didn’t even manage to learn enough to change his mind about twitter only needing to be “50 people”.

Twitter probably can’t get down to less than 50 LAWYERS, much less 50 employees. Even the idea of only 50 engineers is patently ridiculous. You’re going to need that many people to just…

Says one thing, does another weeks later.

Sounds like he learned everything Elon has to teach.

Think many are insecure deep down and know Twitter actually could be 50 people, just not overnight, but in a year or two.

There’s a huge difference between trying to find vulnerabilities in firmware and optimizing a DB script to run .00001 seconds faster. No idea what the guy expected he’d be able to add besides sucking off daddy Elon.

I think that is literally it. As a streamer he has a interest in playing to generate entertaining/interesting content, like him stomping pubbies, which is in direct conflict with other players who are trying to play a game against relatively equally skilled opponents. 

This is typical of most, if not all, streamers. They think the only content worth showing is them stomping, and not trying hard like everyone else.

This is hilarious. I love that he can’t even not stream it at all, he’ll still do it but only for a day.

“I just want to crush newbies with little to no effort on my part” is not the winning argument he thinks it is. People like him just want to run around lobbies eating up a 20-2 K/D with no effort. He wants to have fun at the expense of an entire lobby and thinks that’s a fair trade. That’s like asking Heaven GG:Strive…

“I’m not playing this game because I wanna bully people and it won’t let me” is so weak. WEAK.

This story is missing the really cool context: this episode all began with one Deviantart image by a Simpsons fan.

Nope, just making sure the post goes up before the end of the day. Figured that was more important than spending however long messing about in an emulator and trying to find a solution. It’s not really the point of the story, anyway.

I’ve never seen a screenshot of this....thing? Game? AR? Whatever it is, that doesn’t look like absolute shit. 

“I think Kotaku has gotten twice as many retweets on a single tweet than Decentraland has active users?”

Sadly the whole “squeeze every dime you can outta players” model is just too sexy these days.
