Short answer: Yes

Long answer: It’s an item in the collective bargain agreement so, yes!

Reality would be funnier than fiction were it not for the corpses being piled up for the sake of capitalism.

Hey man, I was a Hardforum user for as long as I can Remember and Kyle was a straight shooter. Even when he jumped to Intel, nobody gave a second thought about his honesty! The problem is that for every Kyle, we have 10 Ryan Shrouts. He was (unlike kyle) one of these writers that was consistently on a high horse talking down to the peasants. Kyle had a short fuse but you always knew where he was coming from. I don’t think lemmy users would dislike Kyle at all.

Off topic: Kyle was one of the few CPU testers besides Ian of Anandtech (much later) that recognized the Utility of running benches at 720p to remove GPU bottlenecks. HardOCP is missed to this day.

Dogshit pay for dogshit writing. Seems like par for the course.

I’d be reluctant to trust an outlet that has a story about a CIA conspiracy to promote homosexuality on the same page as OP’s titular post. Sadly, lemmy (like reddit) in general, for now, has a pretty low standard when it comes to linked news. That said, the Zionist lobby is very much a real, documented and registered (with lobbyists and think tanks) phenomenon of the anglosphere. The media bias in favour of Israel (in direct contrast to what’s happening in E Europe) is very much a product of the fact that Israel is one of the last bastions of western colonialism and a very useful lightning rod for antagonists in the surrounding countries which allows shipping through the suez canal to be mostly left alone.

The original comment is still available. At no point did I complain about diversity in games, I complained about incompetence in games and lauded indie games. I see you’re having a Quixotic moment and are arguing with a figment of your imagination. In fact, one could argue my point is the exact opposite, clumsy amateurish depictions of diversity do not do the importance of the topic justice. I understand not everyone can be as talented as Naughty Dog (Amy Henning is the GOAT) but at least something passable would be desirable. Keep fighting windmills.

Ad hominem, red herrings, 0 actual addressing my points. Par for the course.

I guess Bernie is also an r/conservative chud in your book… I’ll see ya in the next march for science based policy.

What the actual fuck is this outlet? Benzinga? Is this AI only?

Beyond inflation woes, we can thank the CHIPS act and similar for this. Biden basically waved a wad of money to European tech companies to de-localize and even staples with decades of history like CDPR took it, laid off a shit ton of people in Poland, and opened a studio with subsidized employment in the US.

And here we are again, more ad hominem, 0 actual arguments. :) keep going

Us vs them, anything to avoid actually thinking.

Yes yes, whatever illusion you created in your head to make me some kind of monstrous being because I dared question the ubiquitous distortion of the class message in favour of bourgeoisie invented flags. I’m also the boogey man on my free time. It’s funny, all the replies I got fit just in line with the ones I’d get in r/conservative every time I shared climate change evidence.

Welcome redditor.

As much as I respect that stance I really think people are being trained into this nothing burger by the media. Who cares if they ask for an account? Like, some middle management at sony wants to pump numbers and people need to give an email address. I truly don’t understand what’s the big deal, granted, I don’t buy sony games on PC so I don’t have a horse in the race. Like, I can’t play Apex or Destiny on Linux because “safety” (lol, hackerman intensifies) but the media’s race is bashing a PSN account for “reasons” when we’re being forced to use a spyware OS that enforces its monopoly at every turn? Like, it says on the blurb that a PSN account is needed, don’t buy the game if that’s not kosher, vote with the wallet. I truly am amazed at how the media shifts the narrative away from the actual relevant issues and people just fall for it.

Oh, I see. I thought they had backtracked on that.

Helldivers 2?

I hope PMCs will provide a future free of war

Are you for real? The same PMCs who instigate wars like this one to make bank?

Pausing the sony bad narrative for two minutes. Where the fuck was all of this outrage when Rockstar, Ubisoft, EA, Actiblizz and so on did the exact same for over a fucking decade? Why is sony the straw that beoke the camel’s back when theirs isn’t even the worse requirement? Shit, I still have PTSD from GFWL.

Ai, google trends in english, what else does one need? Even after I gave precise google trends inputs so that the observations are reproducible? Your reply proves my point yet again. Peace.

Both GPT4 and Gemini estimate a 3:2 ratio between articles addressing video game character sexuality and those addressing lay offs and unionization in the games industry.

I won’t continue this discussion because “Schreier’s politics come out in his writing as well as social media. The drum he’s been beating for a long time has been about labor and unionizing.” is basically what I wrote on Schreier using more words, which indicates you’re more interested in being a confrontational than engaging in an honest discussion on the topic. Enjoy the Cheeto for 4y.
