I find it quite interesting that Ubisoft Montreal chose the same day as my employer to enforce 2 days in the office every week.
I’ll accept that there is a 1 in 356.25 chance that any employer will pick a specific day to enforce a return to office, but it does seem interesting that there would be 2 employers in different countries picking the same day. Is there something special about that day that makes it a special day to change where and how people work? (I know that there were events on 2001 that took place on this day, but that doesn’t seem too likely a reason to pick that particular day to enact this change)
It's a monday. So that's already more like 1 in 52. There's been like 5-20 news worthy "return to work" announcements in the past year, I'm guessing half othem have mandatory 2 days, the other half have mandatory 3 days.
Multiply that by the number of things that happen in your life where a coincidence of this level could happen and you should be seeing this kind of coincidence a many times each year.
These idiots are totally destroying work life balance but honestly, they do not care about our welfare or mental health. We are just human machines that they think they own.
What is completely laughable is how they have become advocates of the environment and reducing carbon. Yah, my unnecessary shitty commute is really not contributing! They turn a blind eye to that yo.
We recently went from 2 days to 3 days, and I chalked it up to our new CEO (old one replaced for unrelated reasons). Granted, many departments were full remote, in violation of company policy.
I’m hopeful that we can get back down to 2 days in office. However, if the industry goes for 3 days as standard, the might not be realistic.
FF7R was full game length but ended when the party left Midgar; in the original game that is a bit before the end of Disc 1.
Granted, the Midgar section was greatly expanded for the remake and it’s pretty clear that we’re not necessarily doing a 1:1 equivalence with the original game…
I think it will released into 3 parts: Remake, Rebirth and the third volume which I don’t think has been titled yet. What makes it even more confusing is that there was an “enhanced” version of FFVII Remake, released on PC and PS5, called Remake Intergrade.
I wish my 90h save wasn't borked. I don't feel like playing through the whole game again right now or any time soon. This has happened twice to me now.
I wonder how the new cyberware limits and cyberpsychosis system will affect my V if I update. I’m pretty much fully kitted out at max level and street cred and carrying almost all legendary gear where applicable.
Will I just spawn in and immediately get like… over encumbered with cyberware? Will I have to restart the game or respec V with less stuff?
I’m gonna be mad if I have to give up my Kerenzikov/camouflage/gorilla fists/hacking multi-class. There’s nothing quite like invisibly slo mo punching out an entire crippled with contagion gang while their leader crow bar’s them to death because I gave him psychosis.
I’d probably trade in the melee if I had to, but I really like having the kerenzikov since you cant equip a hacking module and a sandevistan at the same time.
And screw anyone going ‘but then how money?!’ while it infects billion-dollar business models. There’s no amount of money you can pay, where greedy suits won’t imagine taking your money and selling your eyeballs.
There is an ethical advertising system that works well: opt-in catalogues. I love Costco’s monthly ads, IKEA’s catalogue, Amazon’s holiday shopping catalogue, etc. When I need something, I can browse and create a shopping list.
My problem with ads is that it tries to get me to buy stuff when I’m doing something where I don’t want to buy stuff, like watching TV, browsing the Internet, or playing a game.
A game engine isn’t the right place for ads. Leave that to storefronts and other areas where I’m already looking to spend money.
maybe I pick this up now, never bothered much about Cyberpunk after they botched the launch and it still does not impress me very much…well winter is coming so we will see if it can compete with Baldurs Gate or Guild Wars 2 😅
Maybe it makes me a boomer, but I could not get into the remake as much as the original. I hated the real time combat. It made me feel like I could only control one character’s actions well, which made me way more detached from the rest of the characters in my party.
I really enjoyed it when I played it for the first time in its 1.5(ish) state late last year. I’ve been really looking forward to the expansion and continuing the story. I’m actually somewhat apprehensive about the vehicle combat and police because the game was enjoyable without it - even though I massively missed them at first.
Been playing Starfield and not loving it but enjoying it. Yet I keep coming back to it every free moment I have. Been years since a game’s done that to me.
I think this is probably the moment. I honestly enjoyed the game even at launch but I just laughed through all the jank. The story and world were good enough for me, I’m sure with all the fixes in place it’ll be a much more engaging package.
Apple engineer here, from what I understand most of Unity’s competitors in the we space are significantly better paying and performing. We keep hearing from developers that nobody wants to use Unity’s product because of that. AppLovin, the one named here, outperforms Unity Ads by as much as 800% in some titles, according to a contact of mine at a game studio. With a difference like that it’s hardly surprising nobody is choosing Unity Ads.
This reeks of desperation, but one wonders how effective it could be - because this demand to drop AppLovin is basically cutting off the revenue faucet for these same developers they’re now trying to extort. No Unity fees but no good income either…
There’s this one guy on youtube(www.youtube.com/), who said about business: [paraphrasing] “Sometimes things go well, and sometimes, you dry to get the change stuck between the couch cushions”. And you’re right, this pretty much does seem like a desperate move if you think about it.
Yeah, I love that analogy. When companies deviate from their core business model to try to increase revenue, it’s a symptom that the company is dying. If they’re having profit issues (which I doubt), a healthy company would innovate to attract customers, not to lock them in.
