Oh this could definitely be it, let the union exist, get the good press, and then fuck them hard in contract negotiations.
- Comment on Bethesda Game Studios developers form 'wall to wall' union that includes artists, designers, and programmers 3 months ago:
Microsoft has actually voluntarily recognized a gaming company union before. It seems they prefer to voluntarily recognize the unions and then fight them during the contract phase, not sure exactly why they do it this way instead of trying to stonewall the first step like most companies.

- Comment on Meta to broaden hate speech policy to remove more posts targeting 'Zionists' 4 months ago:
Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask jewish people living in occupied Palestine
A majority of Jews in the U.S. and globally also support the existence of Israel.
- Comment on Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall 5 months ago:
Because I don’t think they’re as shitty as people claim? And I understand that Bethesda isn’t just a shitty group of corporate managers, but also a team of people who have devoted their lives to these franchises.
- Comment on Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall 5 months ago:
Yes you’re reading it perfectly, Bethesda as usual actually isn’t being as money hungry as they could’ve.
People still gonna hate though, that Starfield/Bethesda hate train is way too well entrenched.
- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 6 months ago:
This is just blatantly false, if an organization is committing crimes or doing something the government dislikes then the government will sanction it, like it has done with almost every Russian Oligarch’s business, or front businesses for terrorist groups.
I’m pretty sure the whole point of banning TikTok is that the government is alleging that TikTok has engaged/can be forced to engage in abusive or illegal practices.
- Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? 6 months ago:
They don’t even care if they’re Nazis, So yea.
Do you really think the U.S government are just self declaring Nazis?
Everything you said was covered with 4 layers of hyperbole.
- Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? 6 months ago:
Don’t be hyperbolic, it’s not 1984 and you still live on a democracy. You won’t face any serious criminal repercussions for saying anything in Canada or any other democracy.
- Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? 6 months ago:
Yup, I mean I’m pretty left, but the endless politics is probs bad for the platform in the long run. We need more “normie” and hobby communities if we’re gonna keep attracting new people.

Todd must’ve liked it, it’s yet to be seen whether that’s good or not…
- Comment on US delegation on religious freedom cut short its visit to Saudi Arabia after one of its members was asked to remove his Jewish head covering 8 months ago:
I am literally employed by a progressive Org fighting for a permanent ceasefire and a Palestinian state. You’re the only one arguing in bad faith here by immediately assuming I’m pro-genocide for asking the most innocent of questions, but go off ig.
- Comment on US delegation on religious freedom cut short its visit to Saudi Arabia after one of its members was asked to remove his Jewish head covering 8 months ago:
He’s an American Jew working for the American Government Religious Freedom Commission so unless you’re saying all Jews are inherently supportive of Israel, or writing off every employee of the U.S. government as “involved with a genocidal regime” then I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about and you need to calm down.
- Comment on US delegation on religious freedom cut short its visit to Saudi Arabia after one of its members was asked to remove his Jewish head covering 8 months ago:
What decisions of his should he be reflecting on?
- Comment on The first minds to be controlled by generative AI will live inside video games 10 months ago:
If you cut out a tiny bit of someone’s brain and then hooked it up to a cpu, would it be a mind? No, of course not, lol. Even if we got Biocomputers to work, we still wouldn’t have any synthetic hardware even close to being strong or fast enough to actually create or even simulate a brain.
- Comment on Starfield's new PC patch delivers the game we should have had at launch - Eurogamer 1 year ago:
Yeah, my first build was a stealth character, I did it just fine. You’re mostly likely specing your builds wrong for stealth or wearing a million pounds of armor clanking around thinking you’re being stealthy. There’s specific armor pieces meant for stealth, which also help a ton.
The weapon modding isn’t broken. If you find a gun with a suppressor, you can take that off and put it on the same model as yours. I don’t think needing a skill/crafting to make a whole suppressor warrants the game being called broken.
- Comment on Starfield's new PC patch delivers the game we should have had at launch - Eurogamer 1 year ago:
Yeah, they could’ve done better with the New Game+ for sure, which to me isn’t exactly surprising since it’s their first main line game to have it.
I do appreciate that there are considerable differences to the story on certain replays, but it’s a slog doing basically the same thing every time. I wish there was a bit more variance.
I do think it will be remembered fondly eventually just like every other mainline Bethesda game has been though.
- Comment on Starfield's new PC patch delivers the game we should have had at launch - Eurogamer 1 year ago:
Yep, as someone who beat it several times, I agree with this. Its a great game, but is unpolished at launch like any bethesda game, 5 years from now it will have memorable gamer cultural references and a consistent modding/playerbase.
With the love of using the game engine to create entirely new games that bethesda fans have, I’m basically expecting a Star Wars/Star Trek total overhaul mod within the next decade.

How is the game loop broken?
- Comment on Skyrim’s Lead Designer On Starfield’s Origins And Bethesda’s Evolution - MinnMax Interview 1 year ago:
Ah okay fair enough, I’m not super knowledgeable about the newer software sided stuff like DLSS and Upscaling. I didn’t realize the AMD upscaling worked on all systems.
I saw tests where the upscaling performed comparatively worse on Nvidia and Intel rather than AMD and assumed that the upscaling was actually exclusive, my apologies.
- Comment on Skyrim’s Lead Designer On Starfield’s Origins And Bethesda’s Evolution - MinnMax Interview 1 year ago:
Any chance you’re on an Nvidia card perhaps? It was shipped with only AMD upscaling because for some stupid reason it’s an industry standard to ship with time limited exclusivityfor some stuff like that.
I’ve found that the mod (and probably update in the future) to add Nvidia DLSS helps a lot.
Still dumb that behind door deals between executives/sales can hinder otherwise good games like this though.
- Comment on NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer 1 year ago:
Receivers are usually the main part that’s 3d Printed, that’s the problem.
- Comment on YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead 1 year ago:
That… isn’t true at all.
Unless they’re just blatantly saying slurs, which they almost never do, the dog whistles never get caught by the moderation bots.
- Comment on Google, Netflix, Apple and Amazon are the "barbarians at the gate" of the games industry, says ex-Sony boss 1 year ago:
That’s simply not true.
Apple made 18 billion dollars of gaming in 2021
Yet Sony made over 20 billion dollars from gaming
And Microsoft isn’t too far behind either of them. Apple makes a lot of money for sure, but it’s not the most, and it’s definitely not orders of magnitude more.
- Comment on I.R.S. Deploys Artificial Intelligence to Target Rich Partnerships 1 year ago:
It’s crazy how many problems in this country can be tied back to either Reagan’s fuck ups not being fixed or FDR not going far enough.
