Yeah it doesn’t work that way in tech jobs, top talent is hard to replace, sure some of the lower skill jobs are easy to fill but not once you climb the skill level.

Management makes a stupid decision, like thinking sales would last forever, management doesn’t get punished, actual productive workers get laid off, but the stock rises when management lays those people off to correct management’s mistake, and management never suffers any punishment for it. Great system, right?

I’ve been asked to come to the office twice a week. I applied during WFH, expected consistent WFH, and now i’m having to come in to give a display of “attendance theatre” as I call it.
I put over $5000 into my home office, I’m incredibly comfortable and efficient, with perfect ultrawide calibrated moniters. In the…

All the middle management feels useless, as they have no one to berate, micro-manage, or whatnot.

i imagine it feels a little like when ridiculously difficult arcade games came to consoles 30 years ago.  Some of the design decisions came over wholesale from a model where you played per play and it didn’t quite match up.

The Last of Us is mostly combat and about 14 hours long. HBO needs to fill 10-12 hours of television. The math is pretty straightforward here -- tell more story.

I don’t get why so many gamers are caught up in the false hype that is graphical fidelity...

If Sunset Overdrive was going to get a sequel, why didn’t work start on it in the five years before the original release and the time Sony bought the studio?

I mean... It’s not ideal, but there is a difference between buying up the odd game and swallowing an entire publisher of the biggest game in the world plus tons of other IP which have all quietly gone under the radar while this whole CoD narrative drags along.

There are times in which I fucking love the way the EU/UK does business.

It’s pretty callous to just come out and say that you think people you don’t like shouldn’t have jobs, but ok, I guess you can say that.

That’s not weird at all, but I think it shows up in the mid level streamers more than the big ones.

To be honest I’m starting to think these guys really have isolated themselves so thoroughly from the rest of the world that they think this doesn’t sound unhinged.

I dunno, this seems more like Minesweeper to me?

Or maybe, just maybe, it has nothing to do with not wanting women that “don’t put up with shit” and everything to do with the fact that men value physical attractiveness more than women and young women tend to be the most physically attractive in most men’s eyes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Didn’t Olivia Wilde cheat on Jason Sudeikis with Harry Styles, her work subordinate? 

At the end of the day, GTA Online just feels like a last-gen gameplay loop.

I realize I am in the minority, but I can’t stand GTA online. For me, the game is the single player story. Those who feel like I do were let down by Rockstar because they added nothing to the single player experience.

I guess that’s where the money is, but playing GTA Online was one of the worst experiences I have had…

You see “abandoned car vending machine”, I see “new, upscale studio lofts with panoramic windows”

This is Denver, after all.
