after careful consideration of the management decisions that brought us here, we concluded that 1600 layoffs of low level employees is the solution. those who stay will crunch harder for the same pay to make up for any lost labor so we can keep churning out slop that definitely has nothing to do with our crisis.

this is great. i thought they kept making slop because it’s giving them a return but I’m glad people are catching on.

wow didn’t even know that. they certainly are hiding it well.

can you educate me a bit about what’s wrong with that?

I’m guessing the lucky one gives you 5% less probability of cancer

oh. going through their profile certainly suggests that way. it’s weird to call that “diverse IP”… but weird is pretty on brand for that crowd i guess.

what do you mean by diverse IP? Ubisoft has notoriously done the exact opposite by eliminating every distinguishing characteristic of their games and converging all of their designs into assassin’s creed with another name. Ubisoft has one of the least diverse portfolio of any AAA company, and that’s saying something.

the only good (and diverse) things that come out of Ubisoft have been from a small team inside that somehow missed all the rituals to sell their souls to Asmodeus so they keep making bangers like Rayman and the recent Prince metroidvania.

what

i can’t believe the country whose biggest exhibit is of all the artifacts it’s stolen from other cultures would be so inconsiderate to other cultures.

obviously fake. in reality no one asks and the conversation just starts with the voice message

yeah whenever someone says “this is…” or “is this…” what follows is always …

so it’s true

playing it on my desktop. the game is gorgeous.

well my expectation is that it’s going to be shit, and I’m afraid they’ll have a hard time to even meet that.

they don’t have good writers. the last time they did they made Morrowind. oblivion was uninspired. Skyrim was their last hurrah. a game saved by environmental artists and side quest designers. the main story was mid. the gameplay was jank. the characters were mostly bad.

starfield had no vision, no direction, awful writing, forgettable quests, terrible characters. i doubt 6 will be any better. maybe a little because it has decades of lore and world building that might carry it somewhat. but I’m not the least bit excited.

billionaires who talk like this should immediately be committed. he’s clearly far gone, just fucking take him away.

yeah, you’re right but they’re two different cases. notice how when it’s right you don’t pluralize it with an -s because some adjectives have a form of a plural noun, so they don’t have a singular form: “a poor” or “a black” is just yikes. you can find words like “rich” as plural nouns apart from the adjective forms in the dictionary. you might find “female” and “black” as a noun for people too, but they should be marked offensive either directly or in usage notes.

so that’s the distinction. “black” or “female” don’t exist as plural nouns like “the rich” or “the blessed”.

interestingly enough there are exceptions. there is no plural noun “the gay” but “gays” usually isn’t offensive as a noun, but also “a gay” is weird and offensive. language is complicated.

males and females is still psychotic if you’re not specifically talking science like biology, statistics, etc. adjectives as nouns are rarely a good sign in general; it’s almost always derogative.

also boys and girls would be fine except most people who use (or claim to use) boys do it in familiar sense only. they’d never call a 40 year old jacked man they don’t know a boy, but they’d easily call a grown ass woman they don’t know a girl. exceptions are some phrases like “big boy” or “my boy” in endearing sense but that’s not how “girl” is generally used, which is a substitute for “woman”.

this has massive “name all of their albums” energy. people should be allowed to look how they want.
