alienanimals,

We live in a plutocracy run by oligarchs.

alienanimals,

Tom Scott has a great video you should watch called, “2030: Privacy’s Dead. What happens next?”

alienanimals,

The richest Americans lobbied the government aggressively to pay less taxes. They’re all skipping out on their fair share and foisting the burden on everyone with less than 100 million in the bank.

alienanimals,

I work a shitty job that doesn’t care about me. I’ll likely have to do it the rest of my life. I really hope AI doesn’t take that away from me!

alienanimals,

Putin thought he would take Ukraine in a matter of days. It’s been years.

The ruble has been hit hard by all the sanctions. The Russian economy has been weakened to divert funds to a war inept Russia can’t even finish. Russia’s infrastructure and money-producing assets like their oil refineries and rail yards are being attacked by Ukrainians as well as partisans within Russia.

Are Russians killing a lot of Ukrainians? Sure, but they’ve made a laughable amount of progress in Ukraine over the years. Look at the Black Sea fleet numbers. Ultimately Putin is fucking over Russia for a war he can’t finish.

alienanimals,

Religions should be peaceful. This ain’t it.

alienanimals,

and Scientology has been working overtime to catch up!

alienanimals,

The word “computer” should be changed to “commute”.

alienanimals,

Fuck nepotism hires

alienanimals, (edited )

People who have studied game theory will know that a corporation’s bad behavior needs to be met with bad behavior, or they will simply keep taking advantage of consumers. Low level employees are innocent, but executives are willingly making bad decisions with the sole interest of lining their pockets.

Edit Lol I guess instead of learning basic game theory you can just downvote and continue your ignorance. Surely that won’t make the problem worse.

alienanimals,

Ernest Cline is a sellout who got lucky piggybacking off the success of popular franchises. I’ve seen high schoolers write better than that guy.

alienanimals,

Shitty CEOs like this are rewarded for their bad behavior, not punished. Fuck these assholes.

alienanimals,

Fuck fast fashion that requires you to buy low quality socks from sweat shops every year. Buy high quality socks! Everyone wins.

alienanimals,

Halo Infinite’s problem isn’t that there’s a store where you can buy cosmetic items. It’s that the game was built AROUND the store. Cosmetics took a priority over gameplay, features, etc.

alienanimals, (edited )

The previous Halo games prioritized features over microtransactions. There are tons of articles lamenting all the things left out of Halo Infinite e.g. screenrant.com/halo-infinite-launch-missing-featu…

I see you were too young to have played previous Halo titles and so you immediately downvoted without giving a response. I’m sorry you’re too ignorant to realize what they stole from you.

alienanimals,

The SEC should unironically take a look at Riccitiello and their c-suite, but they won’t.

alienanimals,

Activisions’ executives should be fired.

alienanimals,

Turbo Tax is the reason why the government doesn’t just give you a number to pay. The process could be easy, but the giant corporation Intuit and their political lobbying is why it sucks.

alienanimals,

Corporate playbook:

When the company does well: Reward leadership by giving all the profits to the executives and shareholders.

When the company fails: Give the CEO a golden parachute and layoff the peasants.

GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com)

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

alienanimals,

Stupid metric by some rich asshole who is solely focused on making more money.

alienanimals,

Starfield has too many loading screens to be fun. I have the game on an SSD, but it’s still way too much.

alienanimals,

Halo Infinite has always been a blatant cash grab. A game designed around a store. I have a hard time understanding why Halo fans play it rather than Halo MCC.

alienanimals,

Best way of designing intimacy in games?

Give both intimacy options names like Angel and Skye. Give the player no indication which one is male or female.

alienanimals,

Layoffs were actually due to inept leadership.

alienanimals,

I just upvoted every Steam review highlighting the company’s shitty practices. Thanks for the heads up!

alienanimals,

“Developers hate it”. No they fucking don’t. I know plenty of game devs saving a shit ton of time with AI.

alienanimals,

Capcom President salary is ‘Too High’
