Are you sure about that ? I don’t know that much about these kind of dynamics because I am not a soulless capitalist ghoul, but I remember reading that Kotick actually did that kind of stuff mostly by himself and was quite good at it (which did translate into more money being made, which probably kept investors happy and cemented his position)

Oh look it’s the thing everyone said would happen way back when Activision bought Blizzard

Well, if dodos had a Glock they would not have been hunted to extinction now, wouldn’t they ?

audible C++ programmer disgust

Can unfortunately confirm

It’s not uncommon to see people expressing disdain for other distros. I feel like it’s tongue in cheek 99% of the time though

Obviously this is because of Marxist professors or whatever it was Elon said and not at all because conservatives seemingly saw the handmaid’s tale and decided that it was an instructions manual

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

Sounds like he was this close 🤏 to realizing that politics isn’t sports nor entertainment there… Although to be fair, his base certainly seems to treat it that way

I mean, considering how some of them can struggle with ice cubes, you’d need one hell of a (consumer grade) blender to effectively get rid of a body

As a professional gamedev : good. Except if they aren’t tackling similar issues in online gambling (am at work so I didn’t read the article)

But just know that I’m order to set it up, you have to login with your account on their computer at some point to enable the family sharing feature

I doubt it, because I think that’s literally how it used to work

We have one at work (office cats ftw). I don’t know the model, but knowing the owner I’m positive they didn’t get a cheapo version. In this case it’s worth the money because it does a fairly good job at mixing the litter which seems to help quite a lot with the smell (it gets noticeably better a few minutes after it’s done its thing), since no one is gonna empty it during the day.

FOMO can be a bitch for some people. The fact that it is so widely exploited in tech/videogames is no coincidence

This is gonna make a lot of Europeans mad.

Source : am french. I love me some Americano, but the default here is the espresso. You can also get a “long espresso” which is basically a diluted espresso, and is still not the same as an Americano (and this is where my coffee knowledge stops, so I’m not sure what the differences are exactly). I also have some Italian family and they would probably disown me if I said that the Americano is the “default” black coffee

Yeah, me too, but I was on my phone

The absolute irony of clicking this link and being met by an ad for some gacha game featuring ample-chested anime characters

So-called risks taking executives/business people when they could take a risk to benefit their employees without hurting their bottom line (and possibly even increasing it):

legally mandated one day off

As a french : what the fuck, Japan ?

Wait there’s a free and easy GitHub script ? I bought an OEM key for 2 bucks like a sucker

Presumably he could have just said no. Maybe he actually wanted to visit the last place where his family was alive
