“It feels just like Halo”, “Apex Legends is the gold standard of gun feel and variety” - these are jokes right?

Supporting D2 for this long would have been an accomplishment if they weren’t selling repetitive DLC for the price of premium AAA full games every year. I cannot believe Bungie has been given a pass for this long. The content they are selling is not worth the cost. The fact that they’ve convinced players to spend the…

What do you think it means for something to be held together by metaphorical duct tape???

I really wish they made a “offline” destiny, where we can experience the whole story, from 1 to finish, with ALL seasonal stuff, ALL missions, exotics and everything, and truly experience everything this amazing games have to offer. I stopped playing after two or three seasons of the moon expansion, and I started the…

couldn’t we all name 5% of the people at our jobs that are doing a shitty job? If not more?

I used to work at a major game dev famous for it’s “flat” company structure and they would do the exact same thing. At the end of the year you’re put in a room with a handful of other people and presented with a list of everyone you’ve worked with over the year and then you rank them based on how impactful they were…

Hilariously for being on the block to be bought by Microsoft, this is a policy Microsoft used to have in the Ballmer era and have since dropped, because it was a such a bad idea.

My dad worked on a system like this at Boeing in the early 90s. It’s not just 5% of all employees, it’s 5% of any given team who get the mark of death. It means if you perform really well & get on an elite team & are the weakest in a team of the 10 best programmers in the company, your career is over. It makes people…

‘If everybody is hitting the work quota, nobody is hitting the work quota.’

Luke, I have known you here for quite some time. There is something you should know from a true-blooded American, this country is ruled by corporate interests. The reason it’s seen as the ‘wealthiest’ is because of unethical operations like this that are normalized narratively through corporate-owned media, and even…

Uh, no. Maybe at some jobs I’ve had, but I work in an office now full of talented, dedicated people who bust their asses every day and consistently hit targets and generate verifiable growth. (Coincidentally, it is also a place which regularly prioritizes the financial, physical, and mental wellbeing of employees.)

but are the actual shitty workers getting called out? or they don’t get picked because they’re friends with so and so all buddybuddy 

‘If everybody is hitting the work quota, nobody is hitting the work quota.’

Wow this is almost as valuable as a mint condition VHS copy of Nukie! 

Very little of what the TSA does has anything to do with security, and there have been several lawsuits from people incorrectly targeted by the list (mostly for having common Middle Eastern names), which tells me there’s misconduct.

Pretty much. Over the past decade, Sony has repeatedly used exclusivity deals to screw Xbox gamers (and sometimes PC gamers, as is the case with this Spider-Man content). It’s fairly comical that the FTC is freaking out over the MS/Activision acquisition because MS might do what Sony has already been doing for years.

I know this article is about out of context pull quotes but I always love this obfuscated 2 star review from The Guardian getting put in the middle of the poster with the implication that it’s a 4 star review like everything above and below it.

Sony: “Sorry bros. Spidey’s exclusive to Playstation. We own the rights to him in media. See? Sucks for you, lolz.”

There doesn’t have to be a good guy for someone to be the bad guy.

“But you wouldn’t know that from the launch trailer which stays upbeat on the modern-day magical adventure by taking a bunch of words out of context and spinning them into deceitful accolades.”
