Stuff like this is also why a lot of companies have also moved away from pensions, one it’s expensive, two mismanagement, but it turns out that offering to pay someone for free until the end of their life doesn’t make shareholders happy, so fuck the employees right?
Weren’t they superceded by LCDs not LEDs? The whole big thing with Nixies was that you could display digits but if one filament burned out (which it relatively quickly did) the whole bulb was bad and even then you had to pump power into them and use these complicated plugs.
Enter LCDs, they take ages to burn in, you can run them off a coin battery for literal years, and they’re a dozen times cheaper to make.
Captain: “What happened? How did you die?”
Wan: shrugs
They don’t care to do anything about those
Isn’t there a whole big deal about Fred Meyer merging with them and some anti monopoly bs going on?
Yeah see it’s not surge pricing! We actually lower prices whentheresnobodyintheaisle so that the discounts are passed on to you! Also we list the lowered price in the ads and apps so when you come in you can be surprised by power of our tech! and the updated price
I think I can speak for most Americans (and as someone who owns stocks) fuck the shareholders.
First comment to get a cringe out of me as I thought of the spiky pedals. Congrats
Is it rotating weekly? If this is so common then what is the benefit of this? Like surely just keeping your employees constantly confused/off balance during their shift isn’t good
I had a job that rotated, but it was quarterly, and it was so nobody got “stuck” on nights/days.
It sucks because there’s a lot about the ending (I’ll be as spoiler free as possible) but the ending basically being “And then nothing happened” is kind of the point. It’s meant to be bittersweet, because the story is about escapism but that ultimately you have to come back to reality eventually. The ending does the big lead up of oh man there’s a big fantasy and heres the happy ever after. but throughout the whole game it repeats over and over that things aren’t as magic and wild as you want it to be, that sometimes there’s a simple, boring, and sometimes sad explanation, and at the end of the day reality is the only thing that stays.
Firewatch is definitely more of a “reflecting philosophy” game than a straight up “gamer story” game.

A smaller switch would be a terrible idea. They’re already pushing so hard to have mainstream games on the console, and those games have UI elements that can only get so small before they’re useless. You’d have to develop your UI around being used on these tiny screens, which either takes extra work or leaves big screen users screwed.
A smaller screen switch would basically be relegated to phone games, and all other games would lose a lot of detail to size
Literally the reason I started regularly using Firefox
My ringtone is the GameCube startup sound and my Notification sound is the AIM Message sound.
I prefer “affective managers” as in “that managers attitude has affected employees desire to work here”
In my experience it depends on the bar. I have a local that I like that is very laid back and relaxed bar scene, you still get some rowdy groups, but it’s not like fighting for the bartenders attention or blasting music. Perfectly easy to go in alone or with friends, sit down and shoot the shit for a few hours. Doesn’t really matter what’s in your glass.
Oh man I just had a thought. If they require an ID for auth, someone at the news agency has to validate their ID. If that person gets fired, and decides to use their ID to validate ownership and change the password on the account, malicious activity ensues.
Obviously you just mandate your game and console be always online and at that point you may as well just live stream the game to their house, don’t need to download if you never actually own it right?? Make them pay per the minute of game time and only unlock the next level after they’ve played long enough! Hell! Why even sell a game?? Just have people pay you for the right to advertise that they paid for it and charge them a daily subscription to keep the rights! Nobody owns anything but you! Art and entertainment is merely a vessel to siphon money from the masses! Purchase their souls for a hit of dopamine! Rent them their own eyes!
