Every major tech company that has laid off devs and will absolutely continue doing so. Smart devs gain insane amounts of productivity out of it, and that’s only accelerating.
Entry-level hiring has plummeted, with no signs of that changing. They don’t care what happens in 5-10 when they need new mid- or senior-level devs. It won’t be their problem by then.
I tried exactly one and it wasn’t even bad, but there was literally nothing interesting about it.
Careful - criticizing FlyingSquid in any way tends to lead to a ban.
Still something like half the time of a gas stove and a quarter that of a coil
I have that exact one and it’s not great, tbh. Spend a little more on something nicer - the extra might mean the difference between starting every morning angry and not
You believe some forms of art shouldn’t exist at all just because a small percentage of people can’t experience it? Watercolor as an art form should be abolished? Music without strong bass shouldn’t be allowed? All paintings must incorporate strong textures?
Absolutely wild.
You gave lots of examples that accommodate these disabilities, and that’s awesome and obviously I support that!
What you aren’t arguing for anywhere in this comment is that every artist be required to do these things. Somehow game developers are exempt from this grace? You called out watercolor but don’t appear to be angry at watercolor artists like you are at game developers. Why are all games required to accommodate all people, but other art isn’t? Why is that where your line is drawn?
Video games are the only art medium where people find it acceptable to gate-keep the art from the unskilled or the disabled.
Yes, deaf people are famously well-accomodated by music, and paintings are always very accessible to the blind. Games are the first medium to ever be inaccessible to people.
Don’t want the game to be too easy? Don’t fucking turn down the difficulty. Saying “I don’t want the game to be easier” is really just saying “I know I don’t have any self-control, and would inevitably turn down the difficulty when I hit a roadblock.”
You’re complaining about players opinions, but I’m saying the artist is not required to sacrifice their vision for accessibility reasons. Not all art is for everyone, and that’s fine. You don’t have to play every game.
But my artistic integrity and vision!"
No, shut up. Your vision doesn’t mean squat if my experience with the game is annoying to the point where I don’t even care
Nah, miss me with this bullshit. Not every game is for you, and it doesn’t have to be. An artist is not required to water down their vision because you’re picky.
How on Earth did Death Stranding get 7 nominations? Crazy
lol, wat
Even if there were literally no other competitors, GOG holding 1/6th of the market share (your words) absolutely precludes Steam from being a monopoly.
but they do have enough market power to be considered a monopoly
Bullshit. Being the most popular platform does not automatically make a monopoly, this is armchair lawyer nonsense.
lol, what? “Bubble” doesn’t just mean something is expensive
Every headline about this Windows AI is dumb FUD because turning it all off is trivial
Is it actually trivial, though? Does that trivial change turn off all of the various instances of AI scattered throughout the OS?
Do you actually believe they won’t release new things under different flags, and that you won’t have to play AI whack-a-mole every update?
People can safely use Windows 10 online for the next decade as long as they follow basic online safety.
This is a fucking braindead take. A few months, a year, maaaybe? But a decade? No chance in hell.
It’s easy right now for companies to pretend layoffs are caused by the shit economy or tariffs.
it’s called ecofascism and you’re gonna love what comes next.
…did you think “eco” meant “economy?” 😂🤣😂🤣
My fiancee is against it (one of them is only 5, so that’s totally fair) so I get to be the cool (step) dad any time she’s got a work dinner or travel 😁 this has, completely seriously, greatly accelerated our relationship, lol
