Oh yeah I love that corporate mindset - there’s a major issue so let’s take even more time away from fixing the problem.
The issue is management only has one tool (meetings), and if you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail. Surely another meeting will fix it.
This feels generous given the average person, but I see where you’re coming from.
I bet WW2 museum employees aren’t even real Nazis!
I get that they’re successful, and it’d be fantastic if this became the trend. But Battlefield and Call of Duty sell consistently with much less development effort and a lot lower risk of flopping.
It looks like Call of Duty is typically 3 year development cycles, and one took only 1.5 years. Baldur’s Gate took 6 years.
Honestly I’m more disappointed that this isn’t the first time on Lemmy that I’ve seen someone delete a post and then try to make a big scene about how they didn’t like the responses they got and were giving up on a community.
Lemmy has so little content that your complaint post gets to be top of a community for a while, so that’s nice.
You’re not the main character, people are entitled to opinions, and you don’t have to care or take them personally. It’s the internet, there will always be someone who complains even if it’s entirely unwarranted.
This is one of my worries with a growing wealth disparity in the world.
The average person is starting to get priced out of any luxury entertainment because there are wealthy people with unreasonable amounts of money to throw at whatever they feel like.
There will always be rich people who can pay whatever price a company asks for.
Little known fact: Texas is one of 50 roofless states in the United States.
They just forgot to install the damn thing.
There’s a reason everyone needs to be vaccinated.
But I don’t expect you to read that because if you wanted to understand reality, you would have already.
I’m so glad the bird sex has been loud this year, thanks.
because they are secretive
The noise can be heard up to three miles away.
So shy.
They pay you. No idea if it’s worth it since I haven’t done it myself.
I would say most of those examples don’t advocate violence. Don’t get me wrong, they’re controversial, but they aren’t immediately calling for violence.
Roger Stone posting a picture of a judge with crosshairs next to her head - that was directly advocating violence.
The noise is supposed to help with their separation anxiety.
I haven’t researched if there’s scientific studies backing it, but that’s the reason.
Sure you can alter circumstances to an extent and that’s probably the best way to live life. But all the good in the world doesn’t stop a freak car crash killing you or being struck by lightning. And while being struck by lightning is used synonymously with an act of god, I don’t think it actually means you deserved it. That’s the issue with the just-cause fallacy. It takes a huge spoonful of selection bias to only notice the people who did deserve it.
In my opinion the idea of karma is a convenient crowd control mechanism to prevent people from taking action to fix their situation when they have faith that the universe will magically balance itself out.
It’s not really clear whether the variance scales linearly with weight. We only know 1 data point. It could be bracketed for different weight groups.
Oh yeah definitely still the photographer’s fault.
I just wanted to point out their strange implication that sunny days wouldn’t produce shadows. It’s pretty difficult to take good portraits at peak sunlight.
shadows were really bad on the beautiful, clear, sunny day
That part’s accurate even though they’re acting like it’s unreasonable. Direct sunlight creates much worse shadows than an overcast day with diffused lighting.

Mediocre
I guess I avoided the worst games this year!
Did Remnant 2 feel more unique than Remnant 1? I tried the 1st and fell off in the 2nd world because it all felt too similar with a handful of enemies and procedural chunks. Reluctant to try the 2nd if it’s got the same lack of variety.
What did you not like about Returnal? I haven’t looked into it much beyond the trailer, but was considering trying it out.
I think it’s just one of those miniature children. Smoked his whole life. Lad won’t get taller than 12".
