What is that uniform.

The company was founded almost 20 years ago. At what point is it no longer a startup?

That’s exactly what it sounds like. I had to look up who the actress was and it sounds like she is upset about that. The unspoken communication she is trying to demonstrate with eye contact isn’t even well executed. She doesn’t look witchy at all, just like she’s holding in a fart.

Delta and Boeing just going for the high score this year.

Socks don’t move of their own accord.

Yeah this just feels like government approved passive aggression.

I’m all for the use of ad blockers but I really hope that statement was intended to be ridiculous.

I honestly don’t know. It just seems like a tiny bit of cooperation could vastly reduce the costs of game development for all studios involved.

He is baffled by the focus of assets. Thousands of people from across the world came together to create these beautifully meticulous visual details, yet nobody bothered to make sure the game is actually fun to play.

Also, I know I’m going to be gunned down on this hill but BOTW is boring. I have tried again and again to get through that game and can’t push myself beyond 10-15ish hours. It’s like everyone that is raving about it has never played a basic open world game before. It has a cool physics system but that can’t prop up the fact that the huge open world is just EMPTY and when you do finally find something to interact with it’s either 1)One of 4 enemy types that you can either use the physics engine to cheese or just whack at using the most basic combat system imaginable (and you’ll be punished for using with a broken weapon), or 2) an incredibly basic “dungeon” that involves 1-3 simple puzzles and maybe another boring fight.

To top it off the writing is absolutely atrocious, so you can’t even rely on that to drive you through the mediocre gameplay. I just don’t get it.

This is the thought that really stuck with me from the article. Even if it were through some kind of marketplace, couldn’t developers share assets for reuse across different games? You can’t tell me that an asset can’t be retextured or an animation tweaked to apply somewhere new and be virtually indistinguishable for a fraction of the cost of creating it from scratch.

You have a very optimistic view of the American legal system and it does not include nuance such as this. It depends from state to start but generally a sex offender is not legally prohibited from holding just about any position beyond teacher/day care. Some states make it difficult for them to obtain professional licenses. I do not believe any of them actually prohibits “children’s entertainer”.

Typically that would be considered the purview of the employer.

Rape of a child between the ages of 1-11. There is no ambiguity in this.

The guy was accused of raping a child between the ages of 1-11. Do you think that person should ever have anything to do with children? Being 16 does not make this excusable.

I disagree. There are still tons of games available that are amazing and aren’t developed by companies that enable shitty behavior and decision making, but you definitely have to shift through the chaff to find them.

Knowingly hired a sex offender". Well? Should everyone on the sex offender registry be jobless forever, or what is the point?

I generally agree with this point, except, Mr.Beast channel is specifically catered to and often involves minors. In that particular environment there should be an absolute zero tolerance for any kind of sex offender. That’s a no brainer. If you somehow find out after already hiring the individual the correct response is to publicly and candidly let that person go.

What an excellent description of this kind of behavior.

Hot shit it’s not often you see a frontpage cross reference on Lemmy!

Another fun fact about the game is it has a surprisingly robust audio system built in. I had a clan member who could pinpoint exactly where an enemy was on certain maps (pipeline I think?) just by the sound their footsteps were making and the direction/proximity to his location.

Also, shout-out to all the boys out there that did the precision m203 artillery bombing on bridge! I remember getting good enough to hit each of the individual cover posts. I spent so much time playing this game.

Fuck that, he can spend all the time he has left on an all expenses paid stay in one of our prisons.
