Yep, I work in games and this year has been fucking brutal.
Most of my contacts/acquaintances on Linkedin are “between jobs”.
Luckily I have some freelancing set up, but this thing is killing me. It’s not easy to find another (remote) job when half the people in the industry are competing with you.
The CEO should be hanged by the balls, just one disastrous decision after another, what an incompetent moron.
Thing is, considering when it started I’m pretty sure it must already be old without even being in beta.
There’s no way a game that began development eleven fucking years ago is based on a tech still relevant in 2023.
Yeh ffs I hate this kind of prodding by self proclaimed social justice warriors in a context where it has no sense whatsoever. It makes them look stupid, and diminishes the issue in places where it actually is an issue.
Mikklesen response:
“Well, first of all, the film takes place in Denmark in the 1750s. We do have a big plotline about a girl of color who is being subjected to racism, which was very rare, any people of color in Denmark… almost nobody. She was probably at the time the only one in the entire country of Denmark.””
Diversity shouldn’t be a pre-requisite for a story.
It takes place in 2023 New York? Cool, there should be diversity.
It takes place in, say, 1450 Saigon? Diversity would look artificial and out of place.
“Albuquerque police Chief Harold Medina said he won’t enforce it”.
I’m not American, what prevents the governor to say “cool, you’re fired motherfucker”?
Fucking hell what a scam.
I honestly find it super hard to believe this.
Come on, it’s a hand held, have they manged to squeeze a gpu the size of a ps5 into a Switch? And how do they cool it? Bullshit.
Also, Nintendo hardware has always been, by choice or not, at least a generation behind Sony and Microsoft, I really don’t see them changing that any time soon.
Well, yes, but not in a country where private property of any kind is more sacred than human life.
I wonder how much Naked Painted Viking Guy will get.
…are you seriously comparing someone who fought against slavery to someone who burned a place where women receive health care?
Fucking hell, enough internet for today.
“Flames moving a mile a minute”, fucking hell!
Fucking hell this is super weird. I was going through my comments history, and one of them was "what’s a boomer shooter?"in reply to someone who mentioned the term a few weeks ago.
Since it wasn’t replied I looked it up like a minute ago, and came across this very article.
The very first thread I clicked on after I came back to my feed was this one :0
Sorry what’s a boomer shooter?😳
And all this considering that in order to write a country song you just have to arrange the words country, road, mama, Virginia, truck, beer, boots, tan legs in a slightly different order.
Oh yes, I really look forward to a future where people like Trump or Rupert Murdock live forever.
Yes, as opposed to religious literacy. Which, on top of being pointless, can easily be pursued in one’s own time in places of worship instead of public schools.
Wow, I thought Europe would be much, much less, smh.
I agree with you but I want to add that how Enterprise developed was a damn shame.
It was shaping up as one of the best series, the thirst for wonder and discovery, the curiosity and human ingenuity. It was one of the series closest to the original ST spirit.
Then 9/11 happened, and it turned into a weird mess with time travel ,a huge war in the middle and all that crap.
Such a shame.
I’ll save this as the most retarded thread I’ve seen on this site so far, the paradigm of shallowness and stupidity.
When someone will make a stupid thread in the next few years I can link to this and say “well, at least it’s not as stupid as this one”.
Fucking hell, they are the most alien looking animals on the planet, they’re amazing.
