Because modern audiences don’t ask for it.

Marty Straton is exactly the stereotypical management full of egomania.

Git gud

Woosh…

Oh the irony…

The fact that everyone but 4 people like Taylor Swift make her music great. The fact that all but 4 people use Tik Tok make it a great social media app. The fact that all but 4 people voted for Trump makes him a great president.

Or…

Maybe…

Doom has a history and is shifting further away from it in an attempt to capture a larger audience, like the skibidi toilet crowd that needs 24/7 overstimulation and nearly has a stroke when they need to use more than two neurons to perform an action…

2016 was good enough. More of that wouldn’t alienate anyone.

No Mick no buy. Fuck Bethesda right off, those greedy duplicitous cunts. Feel bad for the team tho, I don’t believe the decision to betray Mick came from below.

It’s refreshing to see people understanding, and so succinctly posing, the shades of grey in this matter rather than the typical kneejerk black and white takes.

Only someone who was never forced to outsource critical software to low pay companies basically sweatshoping software, thinks outsourcing is equal throughout the world. Everyone loses in that chain except the C type that shows nice numbers that quarter for a nice performance number. Meanwhile shit like the one above propagates like wildfire.

Or stick it in the man, that’d work too.

Subcontracted to Indian, Ucranian and other low income countries. You get what you pay for.

They’re going to have shit value aren’t they… Poor Volta PTSD intensifies.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This type of disconnect is what happens when the media is more concerned about being in their sponsor’s good graces than complying with their obligation to their audience. Next time, politely decline Disneyland tickets and other freebies, ya know, like the code of journalistic ethics dictate…

Now, queue accusations of misoginy and whatever a loud minority of idiots does, while the overall message, that traditional outlets should not have these huge conflicts of interest undisclosed, gets drowned in the shit flinging by those with megaphones, vs the silent majority.

Veilguard didn’t fail because it had post op scars as a character option (but man, drama youtubers cashed in hard on that one), it failed because, apparently, nobody in the development team was as worried about shipping a good, well written and entertaining game, as they were with trauma dumping.

Edit: For the record, the laugh is for hyperbole, I’m pissed because this broken system results in further layoffs of people who were just caught in the meat grinder. UNIONISE yesterday!

All of this because some dude in the country with more guns per capita in the world, can’t shoot for shit.

Playing devil’s advocate, could it have been used to avoid persecution of these people now that the Emperor has returned and the crazies think they have mandate to “hunt”? There’s a non negligible chance that whoever decided this, lives in California, and thinks of themselves as quite liberal, they’re just too greedy to quit the job at Meta because that 6-7 figure income is worth it even when it means being complicit to the 4th Reich.

The United States of America, being a former European colony, has completed its transformation into an African plutocracy lead by a strong man figure, just like other European former colonies.

Also, completing the perfect profile for the average US American, it hasn’t realised the country is in North America, a completely separate continent to Africa, so the transition to an African styled plutocracy of the XX century, was quite unnecessary.

5090 -> Gen Z’s Fermi. Change my mind!

I just want this with modern security updates, unlocked bootloader and enough performance. That’s it. Small screen FTW!

MIT in my heart is Nr.1!

… In making students commit suicide for frivolous IP lawsuits…

Otherwise is like baseball world series. “American exceptionalism”

Translation: We were successful into bribing our way into the development scene to have games be unoptimised, driving sales and margins up, thus pleasing shareholders. We’re still shit at making server blades and connectors though, as seen by the thousands of cancelled blackwell server orders in favour of the older Hopper, given blackwell is a fire hazard. Thank you regarded gamers for buying our low VRAM trash so we will never be made to pay for our fuck ups.

Edit: added sauces
