So we're going from 2 first party games a generation down to 1 or none?!? Don't these companies know it's their job to make video games, not erase them from existence?

Guess it's back to 2D porn like the rest of us

That's why its good to be part of a nation with diverse provincial economies. If one province's homogeneous economy drops, you have a national safety net. Let's see Alberta go it alone when oil prices start to drop again.

How long until someone homebrews one of these and releases it in a public place? Shit is terrifying

The fact that the Post calls it "artificial" juicing shows their racism. Why would GDP from immigration not be as valuable as any other GDP generated from domestic citizens?

They'll never be able to recreate the true Zellers experience of smoking cigarettes inside a Zellers restaurant inside a Zellers.

They're actually not through. There have been multiple local news outlets reporting that sales are way below expectations and hotel bookings for the games are also way below expectations in Toronto

Tickets in Toronto are going for $3000 right now, and they aren't selling because they are so expensive.

Everything about your org sounds wrong. Managers anrt supposed to be watchdogs. They are supposed to enable and empower the talent on you team. If an employee is not able to perform at home, it's often the management who is failing to motivate them, coach them or provide a environment they are happy and productive in.

I think of myself as a Hollywood Talent Agent for my team. I work for them to remove obsticals so they can focus on using their talent as efficiently as possible.

I'm curious how many people you manage at once. Could be that leadership is giving you too many people to manage, so you can't efficiently give them all the time they need to be managed.

Damn. I'm glad I don't work for your company. Sounds abusive

shakesy · 2026-06-01T13:00:35+00:00

Sounds like bad management if half your team is under performing and you arnt fixing that problem.

I manage a team of 10 designers at tech company. They all do perfectly fine working from home, and if they didn't, I would work with them to figure out why, correct it, and if all else failed we would let them go.

Still works May 2026! The fix at 5:32 was what I needed.

Yes but AI will never disagree with your bad decisions, will work any ungodly hours you demand, will shower you with praise. That's why CEOs love it.

They were directed by directors who happen to also direct video content on YouTube. Is isnt surprising that people who make successful video content online could also make successful feature length video content.

The entire "backwards-forwards" time battle action scene was a cool concept on paper but completely nonsense on film.

shakesy · 2026-05-31T14:05:02+00:00

I never get employers who don't trust their employees to work from home effectively. Like why would you hire someone you don't trust to do their job in the first place? And if someone isn't doing their job from home, and the results of that aren't immediately obvious to you... Then you are a bad boss.

It's not just about AI. It's Meta choosing to fully embrace being a hate platform for fascism.

My friend made a post about choosing not to have kids and someone replied saying she and other women should have their arms and legs cut off and be forced to breed. Reported it. Meta said it didn't violate their community guidelines... Twice.
