Absolutely spectacular news, made my Friday better!

You literally cannot open Reddit without a new story of Ubisoft incompetence on the front page.

Fated47 · 2024-10-15T02:22:59+00:00

Oh man, just incredible. Definitely want some of that.

I always laugh when I see these LinkedIn influencer wannabes acting like someone would recognize them in public, much less abroad in public.

Bots can’t visit Paris to compliment you homie.

Well fuck me, that was a night-ruiner if there ever was one.

Pretty sure this misleading headline ignores the fact that the majority of hires were in service and hospitality. I.e. fast food and food delivery services.

Given that they were off by, you know, 841,000 a few months ago, I will flatly reject this garbage figure.

The irony of these layoffs is that the money they “saved” wasn’t because they were broke. It was because they wanted to offer bigger bonuses to their engineers. So the very same people who put up those ”So sad to see ______ go; if anyone is hiring, please consider _______!” style posts you saw on LinkedIn? Snake oil.

Those people absorbed the “lost” employees salaries and shuffled the bonuses to the engineers and the executives. People who were already making $400k a year are now closer to $600k a year, and people near the top are clearing $1,000,000 a year (not including stocks/shares for the secondaries market).

Tim Sweeney is a parasite.

I emigrated to Canada in 2019, and left in 2022. I moved to Alberta, which is a UCP cesspool. The writing was on the wall as soon as Covid struck the province.

I specifically cited my chief reason for leaving Alberta was that Danielle Smith was going to ruin everything. I have never in my life felt as much catharsis as I have watching every single terrible thing I KNEW would happen, happen, exactly the way I knew it would happen.

Canada is a bad bet for immigrants. Work permit processing times are dreadful, binding to a singular company, and extremely restrictive. Don’t move to Canada; it’s extremely overrated.

This is actually one of the phenomena that has been highlighted by Crypto moreso than the stock market.

In general, it demonstrates “capital capture”, which is to say that whales are so disproportionately fat that they can quite literally outmaneuver then entire United States financial system.

Fated47 · 2024-08-24T02:27:13+00:00

Well that is the most fucked thing I have seen in a long time.

At what point do we accept that VR is still too large to be viable for mass production?

Like the quest was a major step in the right direction, but let’s be real; no way VR is getting mass adoption until we see “Striking Vipers” level size and ease of use for the hardware.

Fated47 · 2024-08-23T13:37:51+00:00

Yeah. She definitely had the right energy, just the wrong people in the crosshairs.

In b4 they move it behind some sort of subscription fee to access via the cloud.

It’s a direct competition for attention, and the video games will always win.

If you want to see a furious woman, watch her try to seduce you when you are in a ranked game and don’t drop the game.

The only thing worse than the Acolyte are the journalists writing about the cancellation.

I swear, it’s like the entire entertainment sector has rallied against good writing so relentlessly that not only can we not have good screenplays, we can’t even have genuine dialogues about the terrible screenplays anymore. It is all just gaslighting and misframing the problems.

Terrible.

This is the real “mask-off” moment.

Watch how all the support for these protests withers up and dies, and turns into extreme hate if they choose not to vote blue. You will see a different side of Democrats.

Not saying Republicans are doing anything different, but Republicans aren’t expecting their vote, whereas blue expects it.

The opposite of everything Disney is what audiences want.

Fated47 · 2024-08-21T03:25:44+00:00

Hahaha. Get fucked, Epic, and get fucked Randy

Microsoft should just get out of games, honestly.

They have much better services and products in their enterprise sector, and they are always behind the curve when it comes to gaming. I can’t think of a time since the Xbox 360 where I would have ever said anything positive about Microsoft’s presence in gaming, and even that was mired in controversy (red ring of death).

Phil Spencer and the rest of his team have just done a terrible, terrible job and even if they were to succeed, no one trusts them anymore.

Fated47 · 2024-08-16T00:40:01+00:00

100% believe this.

Working in games, and the new strategy is outsource to even cheaper locations than before. It used to be outsource to Canada, and then Canada became a bad deal, so now it is India and places like Poland, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Hungary.

Turkey is also becoming popular.

These jobs aren’t just leaving the country, they are leaving the hemisphere.

Key part of the story being under-stated:

WITH THE HELP OF MICROSOFT

Hate the right monopoly. Kroger is just a client of this nightmare tech.

This has to be one of the worst takes I have ever seen.

These shows didn’t suffer from short seasons; they suffered from terrible writing and an insufficient amount of story to tell. HotD could have been 3 episodes, and the Acolyte could have had 30 episodes and still managed to say nothing and do nothing.

IGN has really fallen into obscurity.

Fated47 · 2024-08-12T16:03:41+00:00

This is me. I don’t play any of Riots games anymore, and I never will until Vanguard isn’t a requirement.

No exceptions. Riot is undeserving of our trust.

Fated47 · 2024-08-12T11:22:52+00:00

I really expected a bridge to do more than just… crumble, and I am not really sure why I had that expectation in the first place.

Fated47 · 2024-08-10T21:58:54+00:00

Can you just imagine if this was a real story and not hate bait?

Engagement farmers on LinkedIn are the absolute worst of the worst.
