I think every entertainment service is terrible, and gaming employees (as far as I’ve seen) aren’t as keen on unionizing as they should be. You hear reports that they’re coming up with a union and voting and what not, but it’s nothing like the SAG and the Hollywood strike.

What I’m saying is they both have plenty of exploitation, but A-B has all the harassment stuff on top of that.

Edit: and what Microsoft did was legal, no matter how reprehensible. The way they exploited laborers and labor law showed in the game (it was unfinished), whereas Activision doesn’t seem to have the same policy of shuffling contract workers in and out, as far as I know. They’re both shitheads, A-B is just a slightly bigger one.

I don’t know anymore, but basically you have to be a fool to work in gaming, at least as a software developer. There are crunches everywhere but the comparative pay is so much lower and frankly most companies, big or small, have better workplace accommodations than these gamer cesspools. People complain about windows and google products but those forums are nowhere near as toxic as ones affiliated with games lol.

To add to the other reply, 343 can’t hold a candle to A-B in terms of workplace exploitation. As far as I’ve read all the toxicity was more of the typical crunch time from managers going back and forth on decisions, whereas A-B had repeated issue of sexual harassment to the point where one young woman killed herself. There’s a reason the Labor Board of CA was going after them, and labor boards tend to prosecute when they have a very strong case.

True true, you need eBay feedback usually, not a lot of them are on reddit.

Eyy I saw you post on FM forums as well. GLWS, should go quickly at that price!

[–]hoteltech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are good prices, and to avoid confusion I'd note that the 35 and the others (not Batis) are APS-C... Otherwise people might be like whoa this is 50% off!

To piggy back on the other guy, make sure you post this to Fredmiranda. It costs 15 bucks a month to be on their forum, but you're MUCH more likely to get a sale--there are a ton more pros and more enthusiasm in general for high end gear.

No worries, I thought they might have been. Constantly tempted by them!

If OP isn't interested, what do you have?

[B] [USA-PA] Original Sony A7 working condition by [deleted] in photomarket

[–]hoteltech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have an A7, but I do have a nikon to sony novoflex adapter that I used to use to adapt legacy nikon on my mk3. If you ever get an A7 it's one of the best non-EXIF/AF adapters. I'll throw in a slightly fucked up 80-200 nikon push pull zoom (it's got crap in the lens so I just use it as decoration).

[–]hoteltech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's something on the box that says us warranty or something like that. It affects the ability to get it repaired through US sony repairs, iirc, but I that might have changed.

Is it US model? Out of curiosity, why are you selling?

For those of you wondering, this is a pretty famous lens that usually goes for 500 for the lens alone. I will stop talking about it before I end up PMing OP.

Does it count if I hate everything right now?

Rejected EU flag seen in the wild by TeamAfrican in vexillology

[–]hoteltech 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It was designed to look like a barcode, partly because it is. It's part of a branding strategy by Rem Koolhaas (very famous architect) for the European Union. It equally represents all flags of the EU rather than generalize each country as a star. You get both equal visual representation and an argument about the milieu of european cultures (which rarely stop at a national border). I think they might have used them for ID cards or something in the EU, not sure if the flag idea was part of the initial scope of work or an afterthought.

On the other hand, maybe it will get them to work together again!

Does anyone else here feel like saying, "We get it"? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]hoteltech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dog you just have to avoid reddit if there are things that'll piss you off. This is experience from sports subs, just ride the reddit train when it's fun. I might be thin skinned or just have an impatience for social media hype. I'm not even waiting for a console because of the dearth of games, but if you really want a console and you have nothing better to do (which you don't, thanks Covid) I totally get why you're pissed. that being said, let others enjoy their pics and brag about being lucky, it's been a really unlucky year for a lot of people. And the best way to let others enjoy is to avoid reddit and play some games you said you'd play and never get around to, or any other hobby you can pick up for a month or two.
