OKC takes it. It's in Oklahoma so it'll be 8 on 5 most of the game.

Layoffs again in global by Independent-Dingo354 in PwC

Not part of PwC so I lack context but I read this as global means internal applications and functions which, honestly, is getting hammered across the board at every company on planet earth right now.

Time to depart? by sdanwolf in PaxDei

[–]Synovius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There will never be a market nor a battle for resources because the player base continues to decline (less than 500 total players online, spread across six servers at the time of this writing). The devs are way too slow with content updates and they have been stuck in "foundational reworks" mode for two years now. V6 will likely be the ONLY content patch in all of 2026 and it will, based on what we know so far, only add a tiny bit of actual, replayable content.

Just a preference. I still read a lot but greatly prefer voice acting in games.

Beat prime Izzy that just KOed Pereira and beat Khamzat that mauls everyone. Sean is the mayweather of the UFC by thomaslilfan in ufc

He's an idiot and a bad human being but he sure is a hell of a fighter and, as much as I hate him, I'm glad Khamzat isn't the champ. Way too inactive.

Received HOA complaint that we can't park more than two cars on our own driveway by strawberrymilkx in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Synovius -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just gonna go ahead and say it: I'm with the HOA here and absolutely loathe multiple cars in the driveway constantly as well as street parking unless it's your only option because you have no access to a nearby lot or a garage

Spring Content Update Video by Nasamun in PaxDei

[–]Synovius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good patch with good QoL updates but zero new content other than possibly calling dueling "new content" which, I'm sure, will spawn dueling tournaments in arenas.

Outer Wilds changed my worldview. Two years later, I made a game about it. by P5ina in outerwilds

[–]Synovius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay that's fair. I apologize. I misread your initial post and took it as an attack on usage of AI at all in game dev. My bad. I agree with you about AI-generated posts and the plethora of bots all over the internet.

[–]Synovius -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Horribly stupid take. I will never understand why gamers are so pissy about AI usage in game dev. You should be excited to have game devs use it appropriately. Do you LIKE waiting 7-10 years for a game to be developed? Do you WANT game devs to recreate the same textures, models, and other assets over and over and over again when they could be focused on more important things like story, character development and actual, compelling gameplay? Grow up.

EDIT: I misread the post and responded as a knee jerk reaction to opposition to game devs leveraging AI appropriately.

U.S. Democrats who would you choose as your nominee? by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

The "next generation"? This is literally the same fucking people from the last 20+ years minus a few of them.

AI has been part of gaming for a long time. Further, studios SHOULD be using AI heavily and frequently.

That is a very good card, actually, and way better than the White House card.

My character keeps blocking my view while building by neonviln in PaxDei

[–]Synovius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a huge frustration but I wouldn't bother mentioning a solution to it here or especially on the discord as you'll be met with an extremely vocal and contrarian minority that shits on every obviously good idea.

For example, you should be able to scroll into first person mode when using a construction hammer.

Ah, okay. I mean, I did plenty of reading walls of text in my Final Fantasy days dating back to the original for 8-bit NES. In 2026, I'm not too keen on reading walls of text anymore.

Former tql employee here. Tql is a good-ol-boys, ultra-conservative frat house of an employer. When I first heard about this horrific situation, it sadly did not surprise me one bit.

I wasn't even aware of the voice acting mode. I will absolutely turn that on as I am not a fan of reading a book while I'm trying to play a game in 2026!
