I also watched Severance.

I think most people would be appalled at how much software is essentially duct-taped together. Not just games. “If it compiles, it’s good. If it runs, it’s perfect” right?

If you think “threatening to kill someone” is the worst thing any of the people on the board have done, then you’re pretty naive.

Imagine in 2022 thinking a YouTuber purposely uploaded a 240p video because you’re so insecure to admit it could be something on your end.

“yeah, gee, either a dude who rebuilt his own watercooled ps5 is uploading his million viewer videos at 240p, or maybe there’s an error /w youtube or something on my end”

Check your browser or the video again, it’s available in up to 2160p.

Ehhh, let’s not over-correct here. I hate American corporatism with the heat of a thousand suns, but public interest and investment in companies is a good thing, the people of your land *should* be interested and invested in the businesses doing business in their area. It just needs to be tightly controlled and…

So let me get this straight, you think removing the public’s ability to directly influence a company and reducing their accountability to both the public and the government would result in better treatment of its employees?

Yeah, there’s 15 employees and no shareholders to appease. It’s a lot easier to be benevolent when there’s plenty of money to go around and no one is breathing down your neck about the impact of missed deadlines on ROI.

To be fair, it’s easier to not care about delays when you are an indie studio that created a bestseller.

Goalpost successfully moved out of the arena with that one. We went from specific physical depictions to subjective opinions on what constitutes sexualization.

Overwatch has at least 5 stiletto-heeled characters with nipped waists btw. Maybe 90% of Blizzard Entertainment’s female designs are like that. Assassin’s Creed has those too, so it’s hilarious you listed those games. I haven’t played most of the others, though extremely ironically, Horizon’s main character actually…

I mean, they name common errors after other animals (Mongoose, Anaconda, Alligator, etc). It’s not a stretch they they name toolsets after animals maybe too?

I mean, you don’t know and I don’t know what Bungie named their toolsets internally. 

The issue is that totally ordinary people that make mistakes (you know, humans) tend to lose sympathy for people when none is extended to them. We each deserve grace... until we don’t (of course).

Wanted to see Wipeout. Was not disappointed!

My guess honestly is that the majority of the tech-focused individuals who do QA wouldn’t have any idea what a bonobo is (I certainly didn’t before this controversy) so they just didn’t realize it was an issue. If I was in QA and this passed by me, I’d see no issue with it, unless part of the QA process is getting the…

I will say I am actually disappointed launching/landing on a planet is not player controlled and seamless. the Outer Wilds (NOT the outer worlds) was able to do this on last gen hardware without an SSD so I find it a little disappointing we are not going to see something similar on stronger hardware.

So you are paying $15 bucks a month to access hundreds of games, and Gamepass essentially always gives at least 30 days heads up when a game is leaving. There is literally a section called Leaving Soon. If you only have an hour a week to play games, then maybe a subscription service isnt for you. You sound like you…

I disagree, it’s a great martial art for de-escalation and low-intensity conflict. Look at professional bouncers, the more skilled ones never throw a punch the most they need is a joint lock to get leverage to march someone out the door and get them out of the place, and then they call the cops if you try to come back…
