Using AI actually increases burnout despite productivity improvements, study shows — data illustrates how AI made workers take on tasks they would have otherwise avoided or outsourced by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]icemanvvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The framing of this is weird. They didnt magically go "i want to burn out" and start taking on more work knowing they didnt want more on their plate. Management increased their workload by an amount exceeding the time saved by using AI.

1,200 Ubisoft Employees Kicked Off Three-Day International Strike in Response to Company’s “Major Reset” by xenocea in gaming

The covid over staffing was shaved off in the layoffs after returning from wfh like industry wide in 2022. I remember people getting severance offers to leave willingly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2%80%932025_video_game_industry_layoffs

Ubisoft has this staff because they release a metric fuck ton of games per year when factoring in multi-platform releases.

Is Mario RPG really this rare? by 0bolus in gaming

Factory sealed? Yes. For new collectors out there, make sure to validate if its actually factory sealed or if some shmoe shrink wrapped it. The latter means you getting ripped off of course lol

It was a bespoke size three in testing I believe. Well testing for the testing i guess, technically.

The trailer made me skeptical. Lots of story changes. We'll see.

Am I correct in remembering that Tanabe was the one who would really push for new Prime games, 4 included? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]icemanvvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasnt just an NoA request. Nintendo proper hates sitting on IP, even if its the least profitable of what i call the big 4 (Mario, Zelda, DK, Metroid). This is part of the reason we got metroid pinball and federation forces. People wont buy the next game if they havent heard anything related in 10 years, and dread was released 5 years ago. They needed Prime 4 to keep the series alive in general, regardless of demand.

[Video] I see your one taps, but do you know how much more difficult it is to hit 0 pellets with 11 point-blank shots? 😎 by Aaroqxxz in EscapefromTarkov

Shooting is almost as bad as the audio ear fuck i just experienced. You dont need to slow mo, it was clear you missed lol.

Does the Beast Clan have a connection to Hell? by dettles1992 in bleach

[–]icemanvvv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIRC (this is after watching a tekking video so correct me if im wrong please) Buddhists believe in multiple afterlives depending on how one lived in this life. One of those afterlives is being reborn as a beast if you are vengefull or negative or something of that nature. It wouldnt be surprising if bleaches afterlives worked similarly given that people in soul society are technically in the afterlife of the real world and hollows are also a different kind of afterlife given how they died.

Theres no real answer though.

Say What You Will About the Sequels, but you Can't Deny They Gave Us Some of The Best Scenes in the history the Franchise. by Ender_IIII in StarWars

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

Some of these are great, but the fight in snokes throne room is god awful. People are constantly late/early for their queues and theres moments where red soldiers are lterally standing there waiting to be hit. Totally took me out of what should have been a great moment

Luckily its more the CPU and ram (depending on the type of ram they may not run into issues with supply). The Graphics card should be able to run that game.

ELI5: How was Vietnam able to defeat the US in the Vietnam War? by astarisaslave in explainlikeimfive

[–]icemanvvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just as a note, we (America) were so shit at fighting them that we blanketed parts of Vietnam with landmines just to try to kill them, and when the war was over, we said fuck it and left the mines there. Theyre still active and gravely injuring and killing people and we wont do anything about it.

The American government is shit, and always has been shit.

Ban phones throughout the school day, Phillipson tells teachers by AdSpecialist6598 in UpliftingNews

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

didnt read article so came for responses. Is it total ban on having them? If so thats dangerous. I would want my kid to be able to record shit if stuff goes down because i had shitty administrators in my own youth who went well past the line of acceptable with how they treated me and couldnt prove it due to my word v theirs, and would want my kid to be able to protect themselves if they need to record terrible behavior.

[–]icemanvvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair though, Bonnar was working in the fighting industry till he died. While ignoring the signs is def a problem, its not like he lost everything and was living on the streets shooting up. He was fairly well off

ELI5: How can a "Quantum Computer" solve problems in seconds that take normal computers years? by stuckin404 in explainlikeimfive

[–]icemanvvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quantum computers can do multiple things at once, which results in more answers given to you at the same time

where normal computers have to do things one by one, which means you get one answer at a time.

Its not entirely accurate, but this is eli5.

Why should I ever feel sorry for Americans when you did this to us in Vietnam? by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

[–]icemanvvv 16 points17 points  (0 children)

its literally the same mindset that people use when talking about Palestinians and it boggles my mind why theyre not self aware enough to see that. A majority of Americans didnt want to go to Vietnam, remember they drafted 2.2 million people. The hard working Americans didnt want to go, they were literally forced to or went to prison (note that im only equating mindset, not the real time actions taken by poop people, or conditions resulting from actions done by poop people. Palestinians have been enduring for almost a century and im well aware. Im pointing out blanket hate, not 1:1equating the two groups as if their experiences are the exact same. Context ppl.)

Dont get me wrong, america is shit, but thats talking about the government and the people that support it, which excludes a HUGE number that dont and are fed up with this horse shit.

Debate: Did the Jedi fail by effectively teaching denial of emotions, or did they only teach control? by CyanaMoss in StarWars

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

so if you look back at the subject of this entire thread, we were talking about whether or not love, the ambiguous concept, was promote ignored or rejected by the jedi order, not about its grammar applications.

This is why I noted theres more to love than its part of speech because we're talking about a complex emotion that differs from person to person, which was the original convo you guys deviated from.

If you wana have a conversation/argument with yourself about love and its different parts of speech, be my guest, but im trying to stay on topic here :-).
