Google is using artificial intelligence to summarize employee comments and questions for the forum.

Well, isn’t that a good start?

Anyway, the TLDR “answer” from CFO Porat is “We were spending too much”, while Pichai’s answer is “We hired too much people”. Way to dodge the question, assholes.

Alphabet’s full-time headcount climbed to over 190,000 at the end of 2022, up almost 22% from a year earlier and 40% higher than at the close of 2020.

So they had around 135k employees in 2020. Why the fuck did you overhire, then? Just to lay off and show off to investors as someone who increased profits in the most asinine way?

Pichai then joked that leadership should hold a “Finance 101” Ted Talk for employees.

Yeah, nevermind me, Sundar Pichai, earning way more money year after year while you’re all begging for raises, it’s just finances, you guys!

Unless Sega pulls a Capcom and adds Denuvo way after the release of the game

This is the first time I’ve heard about these stripper coffee shacks. I want reviews (since I doubt I’ll have enough money to ever visit one)

I don’t think that’s the case, otherwise Microsoft wouldn’t go all in on making gamepass “the best” game rental service and cloud gaming. They want people to pay for gamepass, the games are just bait

This is straight up c/BoringDystopia - it’s cheaper to produce new shit than to repurpose it.

Great idea, how about you describe it in so much minute details it bores your goddamn mind? Can’t do it? Sorry, then you’re not cut for being the idea guy, you’re fired.

If the fucker can’t do the above, he’s what programmers call a client: an asshole who thinks too highly of himself and his ideas and will annoy everyone every time he changes the goals.

You know, Hi Fi Rush is a good game, yet Tango still got axed because “fuck them”. Larian wasn’t nimble with BG3 either, they were thorough

I see no mention of Emil Pagliarulo’s head rolling. Still worried about Elder Scrolls 6

Fuck you, Microshit.

Another way to put the message of that blog: think of it like making minigames for WarioWare. You have to think small and you’re free to be silly and experiment. Metaphorically speaking, a minigame is a very nice looking and tasting candy and usually goes better when you eat one, not a dozen.

I think one artistic area that understands this very well is drawing. You don’t start by drawing full scenes with lots of different shading and colors. You start with sketches and simple geometric forms. Then, you learn shading, which can turn a triangle into a cone or pyramid. When you get to drawing characters and people, you’ll usually spend a good deal of time on eyes alone, then facial expressions, possibly without the whole head.

Now with Funky Mode!

Keep in mind, underpowered hardware means lower price, which means more sales. It worked with the Wii, it worked with the Switch. I fully expect people to bitch about the Switch2 being underpowered, using “ancient” stuff from 2020-21

Or Ultra Switch, as a throwback to the 64’s name before it was officially announced, which also means lots of Ultra games.

Don’t forget to call the opposing groups of said terrorists “freedom fighters” (1986 newspaper)

Imagine being firebombed because you’re a shit neighbor (this is what I understood after a glance on the wiki page about MOVE, the two times the police went after them, it began as complaints from neighbors)

There was an armed standoff with police,[8] who lobbed tear gas canisters at the building. The MOVE members fired at them in return, and a 90-minute gunfight ensued, in which one officer was bruised in the back by gunfire.[38] Police used more than ten thousand rounds of ammunition before Commissioner Sambor ordered that the compound be bombed

Fucking hell, 10k rounds? How?

You’re grounded. Go curl in a tarball in the corner >:(

Is 🏴‍☠️ an option, or are USA (MPAA, RIAA, etc) claws too deep in 'straya and kiwiland?

Those fuckers are still here tho, all friends with the admins. Fucking fuckers

Obviously! Do you think the corporate overlords would entrust AI code to filthy human programmers?

I’ve tried progamming a bit on the phone, but fuck me with a pineapple, that’s an exercise in patience, all the things to make typing on a screen easier will work against you

ICastFist, 22 days ago

That’s just business as usual

Space is also filled with planets and moons containing several isolated, human built facilities, which is very realistic

/s

ICastFist, 22 days ago

Which is why smarter devs either keep all the action in space, or limit it to specific places in specific planets. Besides, do we really need to land on literal hellscape planets like Mercury or Venus?

Emil Pagliarulo is the actual head responsible for that piece of shit that tries to pass for a story way more than Todd. He’s also the asshole responsible for the main story of FO4.
