- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 13 hours ago:
Everyone wants to work in games. Few want to work on accounting software and client messaging organization programs. Who do you think gets paid more despite doing basically the same thing?
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 13 hours ago:
highly paid developers
You’re not familiar with the games industry are you?
Their wages are significantly lower than related software fields of similar skill sets.

- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 2 days ago:
Except Nvidia’s product works. It’s the shit software they decided they needed Nvidia’s product to run that kinda does something but not in a real world usable state, that’s the issue

They… Do.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 week ago:
You’re saying this as a comment on an article about how drastically sales have already dropped due to the price increases…
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 week ago:
Fiduciary duty does not require they tank long term profitability for short term gains. That’s an idiotic believe you have.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 2 weeks ago:
aren’t legally obligated to kill long-term viability for short-term gaing like publicly traded companies are.
Public companies are not obligated to do this. This is caused by the stock options that CEOs/other upper management gets. They want to maximize their gains on their could of years they serve before jumping ship to the next company.

Keeping prices above what people are willing to buy for, while the majority of their business goes bust, is not a recipe to stay in business.
- Comment on The whole Trump administration can be summerised as "aliens vs predators" 2 weeks ago:
This wasn’t an explanation, it’s pointing out that it’s a bad, and actively harmful comparison
- Comment on In-universe G.I.Joe was just theater put on by the Military Industrial Complex to justify bloated defense spending 2 weeks ago:
So…a standard episodic cartoon for children.

Except the aliens were also bad guys in the movies. Not real life.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 2 weeks ago:
I mean, this got her a 0. It’s not considered a good essay even here.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 2 weeks ago:
They did defend the grade. The university folded and went the appease-the-right-wing-assholes route instead of standing behind the well reasoned grading
- Comment on Sony's Naughty Dog Studio Orders Employee Overtime on ‘Intergalactic’ 2 weeks ago:
For short periods, like a few days, you can get a small boost in productivity. But if it goes on too long, you actually see a decrease in productivity overall.
And most companies aren’t paying for this, as lobbyists managed to get “computer workers” onto the list of allowed overtime exempt employees.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is now live 2 weeks ago:
It’s a civ game, so no. It’s still horrendously overrated
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
A can many using hand tools is producing less, and would require more people to have the same output as a company using power tools …
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
I’m not avoiding the spirit at all. I’m pointing out the ridiculousness of the no-AI-at-all brigrade slapping the AI label on a game that “uses AI during it’s development even if it’s not in the end product”, because it would absolutely count this exact scenario.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
Bad analogy. Communication is part of team development. If you’re pitching ideas, redefining requirements or requesting additional assets, you’re developing the game…
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
If you’re sending emails related to the development of the game you’re developing to other people developing that same game, you’re NOT developing the game? What kind of bullshit mental gymnastics is this?

Yup
- Comment on I'm gonna need a walk-in shower soon enough 3 weeks ago:
No one said stalls. And any motion involving taking a step is walking.
This joke is getting away too much analysis.
- Comment on I'm gonna need a walk-in shower soon enough 3 weeks ago:
Aren’t all showers “walk-in”?
- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 3 weeks ago:
It’s common in the US. Our priorities are… Misaligned.
- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I dunno if a year is enough to connect this singular dot.
1869 is also the year the US intercontinental resolution was completed, which would seem to be a much bigger connection to an element allowing travel than the guy who made the periodic table.
- Comment on Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, do you use any Microsoft products at all (like 98% of corporate software development does)? Everything from teams to word to visual studio has copilot sitting there. It would just take one employee asking it a question to render a no-AI pledge a lie.
- Comment on Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' 3 weeks ago:
No one [intelligent] is using an LLm for workflow organization. Despite what the media will try to convince you, Not every AI is an LLM or even and LLM trained on all the copyrighted shit you can find in the Internet.
- Comment on I get junk mail from T-Mobile & Verizon offering services that when I call them they say my address is not available for service. Both offer those services to my neighbors. How do I deal with this ? 3 weeks ago:
Often the people who decide to take on such an annoying unpaid position do so because they want to abuse the power.,
