The producer said he was speaking only for himself personally and not for the company, so my guess is that he personally liked Kojima and wasn’t involved in kicking him out. The Konami CEO and executives probably don’t share the same dream as this producer.
It’s called xenophobia, the fear and dislike of anything foreign. Some people believe that if your group isn’t dominant it will be dominated, and peaceful coexistence isn’t possible between different groups.
These people are afraid that, if the English language isn’t forced onto other people, one day other people will force a foreign language onto them.
Yes, also a running gag in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
They hired a gay actor specifically so they could shoot this one scene.
Either that, or every company has woefully underpaid/incompetent IT people
It’s this one. Cox Communications, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the US with $11 billion in revenue, recently patched a bug on their self-serve portal that allowed anyone to access any customer’s profile. The bug was that server requests weren’t being authenticated. If you entered the right info into the URL bar you’d be given a page with anyone’s customer info. No login needed.
Chess player Andrea Botez started an onlyfans page where she posted videos of herself being mated.
Do you have your languages set to both “Undetermined” and “English” in your settings? I had a problem seeing some posts with only one language selected.
I couldn’t read the OP paywalled article but other similar articles mostly cite students from low-income families struggle the most. My guess is there are now more kids living in low-income families than before, and declining literacy rates is just a byproduct of growing wealth inequality.
It’s like I’m looking at the man in the mirror

Fun game! Swap “AI” with “blockchain” and put it into a search engine. You win if you can find the same headline from an article a few years ago!
Square Enix says Embracer sales will help it invest in blockchain (2022)
I got a friend in game dev. They’ve worked for 3 companies over 6 years. None of the titles they have worked on were ever released.
The title they’re currently working on has had its funding cut (by Embracer Group) and the CEO of the studio is desperately trying to find another source of funding. Everyday they go into work expecting to be told the studio is shutting down.
Game dev certainly seems to suck the souls out of creative people who just want to make something fun.
It’s probably one of the more fair ways for people to get paid for sex work. I’ve read stories of porn actresses making $5,000 a month through big name studios switching to OnlyFans and making $30,000 a month.
I’d say even in general it’s better for people who create content to sell directly to consumers instead of working for a corporation.
A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh 😉
If you own the game you can read the source code by extracting the .exe as a compressed file. It’s all written in lua. It’s also terrible code so good luck reading it.
I took the time to decipher the mess and both Wheel of Fortune and Glass cards check what is essentially
if math.random() < 1/4
Here is the actual source code for the Wheel of Fortune check.
It’s a UK law firm filing the class action suit. They’re also suing Sony for £5 billion for the same thing. It’s just lawyers looking for money.

$19.99$14.99 (25% off)If you’re into scripting or hacking you should check this game out. It’s an interesting twist on the Multi-User Dungeon genre. The game presents mostly as a command-line interface where your goal is to seek out targets to pwn for money/points. NPC targets will have vulnerabilities you need to find and exploit in order to expose a hackable part. Once found you engage hackermode where you’ll have a timelimit to break the target’s security (mostly through bruteforce cracking). The game allows you to write short scripts in JavaScript to automate searching for vulnerabilities and cracking security.
Being Multi-User, there are other users online doing what you’re doing and you’re free to chat with them and exchange scripts. You’re also free to write malicious scripts that will steal money/points from others who don’t check scripts before running them!
The part I found cool was that the game mirrors IRL hacking much closer than other hacking games. You’ll often need to submit incorrect data to NPC targets to get an error message that will contain hints about where to go next. Ex. A webpage has “News” and “About Us” sections. You can request a section that doesn’t exist to get an error message that shows all acceptable sections: “News”, “About Us”, or “Employees”. You’ve found a hidden section! Using scripts to send a bunch of mal-formed data at a target and then analyzing which ones generate an exploitable error is part of real-life security testing.
