shiveyarbles, do gaming w Meta Quest 3 review impressions - one of VR gaming's best options

Sounds cool… Oh it’s Meta, fuck Zuck

tha_frontline, do games w CD Projekt Red devs unionise after its third round of layoffs in three months

I don’t know how unions work in Poland, but here in Germany you should organize, when there are lay offs in your company.

Unions can bargain better conditions for the lay offs like higher gratuities (is there something like this on the states?) or create a point system, who gets laid off first (based on family status, age, the likelihood of finding another job…).

So: unions always make sense :)

sadreality,

Theoretically yes but union power has been eroded to the point where most wage slaves think they don't need a union yo bargain, we are all family here 🤡

shifty51,

If I work hard and enrich the company, they will surely share their success with me /s

aSingularFemboyHooter,

Man am I tired of being shafted for not having kids, the when it comes to holidays, covering for other staff and things, employees with kids always take priority and employees without don’t have an ‘excuse’. Extending that to layoffs is extremely toxic and punitive to younger workers.

tha_frontline,

I don’t have kids either, but to me it’s logical, that that this has to be taken to account. I mean, those are people who are dependent on the situation, it’s not like they could do anything on their own. I’m happy, that at least this is something, where humanity comes into play. And again: I don’t have children and I don’t want them in the future.

And like I said, there are also other points, like age, or how long the people are working for the company.

What would be your points, to decide if someone has to be fired? And no, firing no one at all is not an option in this scenario ;)

restingboredface,

(based on family status)

I’m all for unions, but identifying layoff targets based on these things seems like a sure way for the system to get abused. Single people and people without kids get stuck filling in for people with families already-taking layoffs for them is asking a lot.

Definitely agree on the spirit of your comment though- unionizing is pretty much always a good idea.

EdanGrey,

I feel like this would be considered descrimination

SpaceNoodle, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

You mean the Switch U? Super Switch? Switch Advance?

Swiitch

NINTENDO SWITCHTY FOUR

SpaceNoodle,

This right here is the correct answer

mcforest,

Switch Color

chetradley,

NEW Nintendo Switch 3D XLi and Knuckles

OhFudgeBars,

Switch 64, duh. :V

SpaceNoodle,

Some emoji fan already said “Nintendo Switchty-Four,” so I’m afraid you’ve been outdone before you even commented.

Signtist,

I’m hoping for Switch Advance. I’d love a throwback logo and that old “Bling!” startup sound.

100,

Boi if it has that bling and a transparent frosty blue option it’s over, I’m buying it day one. I miss my Gameboy advanced so much, or maybe I miss being a kid, who knows.

MattyXarope,

After the Wii U fiasco I’d be shocked if they called it anything other than Switch 2.

SpaceNoodle,

I’d be shocked if they learned, but relieved as well.

Back compatibility is still key for me. If they support this at a minimum, I will buy whatever HW they decide to make.

Fuck yeah, I have dropped some serious bucks on their games (mostly on deals, ngl) so I want to keep playing them on newer hardware.

@JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world avatar

That makes a lot of sense.

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w The Callisto Protocol developer Striking Distance Studios lays off 32 employees

It's always a shame when layoffs like this happen, but not surprising given the game's lukewarm reception. Hopefully, the laid-off employees can find other work and the studio can recover.

Metostopholes, do games w The story behind the Oblivion mod Terry Pratchett worked on
@Metostopholes@midwest.social avatar

Required mod for any Oblivion playthrough. Vilja is great.

warmaster, do games w Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20

lol, this game’s fucked beyond salvation.

chronicledmonocle,

It’s a Ubisoft game. It was doomed to begin with.

Dreyns, do gaming w Tango Gameworks and Hi-Fi Rush acquired by PUBG's Krafton, following Microsoft's studio closure in May

Sadly the studio had a lot of people leaving from what i gathered, tango studio may not be the same as before microsoft betrayal… But it’s a good thing for the artists tho !

I didn’t know that, but it would make sense. I imagine many had already been looking for new jobs before they knew this would happen. Hopefully though something good will come from this.

The cops should be called on Hollywood for IP abuse. 😂

hal_5700X, do games w Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow

No one wants to buy the same game again. Who saw that one coming?

rozodru,
@rozodru@lemmy.ca avatar

Braid is like Myst. Everyone and their grandma either bought it, got it as a gift, got it in a bundle, or just pirated it way back in the day. I mean I friggin have it in my steam library and I don’t know how I got it.

So it doesn’t surprise me that no one bought this remaster or whatever.

add to the fact that remasters really work if it’s of a game that is on an older console or is an older game that has a hard time running on modern PCs. Braid isn’t either of those. Why pay for a remaster if chances are you already have it and is still runs.

Yeaaah, kinda seems like people just didn’t want a remastered Braid.

_sideffect, do games w Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now

I’ve seen people say 'I played forza for 150 hours and now it’s boring"

Like dude, wtf

Semi_Hemi_Demigod,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

I probably spent 150 hours just driving around the Top Gear track in reasonably priced cars.

MrDrProfJimmy,

Well how else are you supposed to figure out which celebrities you can beat over a lap?

_sideffect,

That’s fine, because you don’t seem like you find it boring yet

Semi_Hemi_Demigod,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

Users find the weirdest bugs. Figuring out what happened makes me feel like Sherlock Holmes.

Duamerthrax,

No wonder this shit isn’t sustainable. I play standalone indie boomer shooters and 100 hours would mean high praise from me.

A_Random_Idiot,

meanwhile I got like 1000 hours into new vegas and i’m still all like “wtf is this? omg I never saw this before!”

_sideffect,

I just started my first play through two weeks ago! I played F3 like crazy when it came out but never got around to Vegas

A_Random_Idiot,

Vegas is still a fantastic game 14 years later. Not many games have that kind of holding power.

I hope you have a fantastic journey through it :D wish I could play it for the first time again.

_sideffect,

Haha yeah, I feel the same way about many great games I’ve played over the years

A_Random_Idiot,

and they get offended if you tell them to go play a different game, then.

Cause some of these idiots out there, I swear to god, act like the game they are currently playing is the only game in the world, until the next new hotness that catches their attention comes out, then that will be the only game in the world.
