Sorry, unless you start your own sovereign country, you have to participate in society. Not everyone likes promoting themselves, disagreeing diplomatically, etc. Still, we play the game, even though I wish we didn’t all have to…
I mean, there’s also nerve damage. When I practiced martial arts, it was considered a good thing when your knuckles and arms suffered enough trauma that there was less pain. 🤷♂️
It’s a Google issue because the executives… specifically chose to chase higher profits on the stock exchange. There’s plenty of private companies that make money, yet retain their soul and aren’t at the quarterly whim of outside investors…
You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...
No offense to anyone who enjoys them, but I’m so sick of the “[bad] game is good now!” narrative. Fallout 76 is a six year-old game, and was in development for several years before that. In the context of game reviews (which I care about), Release Date is important, it’s when it has the most exposure, the most sales, and when review embargos end. So if you can’t have your game fully-completed by then, you probably shouldn’t release a half-finished, buggy game. Right?
Games like No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077, and others might literally be better now than at launch… But what are we supposed to do, have reviews regularly updated to match the current state of a game? Actually, I would like that, if games journalists could do this. But until then, the game needs to be fully completed on launch, or suffer your permanent bad score…
I was talking with a friend who mentioned “taking tea to India”. It made me wonder what the equivalents are around the world. “Taking coals to Newcastle” is the UK’s.
The fact that CoD doesn’t even use real guns/manufacturers anymore makes me think this suit has zero chance. Video games do not cause violence, certainly not more than any other media!
At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator....
They are not allowed to lie in court, under oath… but they will anyway. To protect their illegal searches, their planted evidence, their bullying and excessive force, or just to save another cop they don’t even like! It’s called “the Blue Wall” and they will kill you or send you to prison to defend their right to be above the law…
There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation.
