Girlfriend, you say?
Girlfriend, you say?
Sure, sorry was heading to bed when I wrote that last one and forgot all about it. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/life-sim/former-dev-from-sunken-sims-competitor-life-by-you-alleges-the-team-had-the-rug-pulled-from-under-them-despite-outperforming-the-company-s-internal-metrics/ Edit: also, the latest conspiracy is that EA payed off Paradox interactive to pull the project…but that is pretty fringe and far fetched.
Some interesting info coming out from the shuttered dev about this debacle…
Was really hoping this one would help get more competition in the Sims game spot. What EA has done with the sims with the nickle and dime content purchases really turned me off to EA. The game itself was enjoyable.
Any one else notice that we keep having ‘news’ stories about peoples opinions? I was watching the actual news (don’t do that much lately) and the 80% of their ‘reporting’ was getting peoples hot takes on what happened. Like, wtf do I care what some random fuck who was filling their gas tank up while you were on site ‘reporting’ thinks about some kids stealing shit from that gas station?
It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.
Overspiced!? Umm…no. No it is not.
Compared to a lot of other pics I’ve seen on here, this is pretty tame. I actually kind of dig it… I’m both too old and too young to fall out of bed anymore though…
Huh, this wasn’t even on my radar. Well, like the rest of the folks said, we can hope!
Yeah, good idea. I did. Not sure if it’s even possible with the lemmyverse though, as I have yet to come across a well organized ‘page’ like that yet.
I found this one, and checked it out a few times. It’s not where it needs to be. Is there a way to maybe sticky or have sub-topics specifically for things such as builds, or quest faq, or things like that? I think maybe some nesting or stickied topics would help. Some type of sub-categorization inside the actual (not sure what we call these, topics?).
I don’t have one, that’s why I’m trying to look for one! But when I find a good combo I will be posting it, yes.
Yeah, I’ve run into this here. I posted a question to one of the posts asking why it was such a big deal, and all the sudden I’m a corporate defender. I don’t think this is a reddit, lemmy, or anything issue, it’s just internet and echo chambers. If you don’t reply with a “OMG YES SO TRUE OMG” then you are a dissident.
So, for my two cents: REDDIT was my go to for very biased but usually non-corporate info. For example, Baldurs Gate 3. In the past, I would research ‘BG3 builds reddit’ and just check out different builds people tried. It was always much better than going to a crappy corporate owned ‘gaming mag’ type website, where most of them just copy/pasted info from reddit anyway. It was a pretty good repository for info like that, and reddthat (or lemmy I guess) has not reached that level yet. I tried doing some searching on here for bg3 builds, almost nada.
Eh, who knows. You can buy a news story now so we’ll never really know much of the truth. I know I haven’t been back, and I don’t even care about API stuff, I just disliked the way the CEO was so dismissive of what the reader/user base wanted.
As opposed to figuratively a discussion forum for talking about whatever you want?
You know what’s crazy is I am pretty sure I remember that thread…
Morally wrong? lolwut? Please don’t ask the internet moral advice…
Your angry reply is cute. I simply didn’t know he was bi. Almost like this is a TIL thread. You can move along and stir a pot somewhere else, internet troll.
