Activision's QA Department already unionized.

I wonder if Microsoft buying up so many gaming companies will actually end up helping the unionization movement, they bought all these companies and now the union has one big target instead of a bunch of medium sized ones.

It's objectively not. It was great back when Oblivion came out

It objectively is for their use case. What do you want them to do? Switch to Unreal? Switch to Unity? Switch to any other pre-built engine? They can't, none of those will work for their use case without major modification.

Want them to create an entirely new engine from scratch? I mean, they could do that, but that would involve throwing away 20 years of innovation and experience on this product and would delay any projects massively.

Want them to massively update their engine? They just did with Starfield's Creation Engine 2.0, which fixed or improved 90% of their engine issues and is a massive overhaul of their original engine.

This is a company that recently sold for several billion dollars, they've undoubtedly had a team investigating what they could to do their engine for at least a decade, and they've decided that this path is the only realistic one for them.

But I'm sure you know better than the large team that does this for a living. /s

It would be pretty much a copy/paste fix in the engine. They have just opted not to.

You either misunderstood the comment you're replying to or don't know how the unofficial patch works or both.

99% of what the Unnofficial patch fixes have absolutely nothing to do with the engine. For example, we'll use the Skyrim Unnoficial Patch, easily the biggest and most popular. It fixes literally nothing in the engine, it fixes certain models not having textures wrapped correctly, it fixes certain meshes or textures having small errors like clipping, it adds a new flag for a town that didn't have a flag in the original for some reason, the absolute closest it gets to an "engine fix" is fixes for different scripts that sometimes fire incorrectly.

Literally none of these are engine issues or fixes. Sure, they definitely should've fixed them before releasing the game, but it's not like these are engine issues that have somehow persisted for 20 years. They're very small bugs with models, textures, and scripts, which are all individual game issues, not engine issues.

I'm not sure if truer words have ever been spoken, and I'm not sure if there's a way to fix it..

SHOULD HAVE BEEN BERNIE. YOU STOLE OUR FUTURE TO PRESERVE YOUR PRESENT PROFITS.

I'm not sure we should be so pessimistic yet. They blocked a candidate but did nothing to kill it's popularity. As long as we don't succumb to Fascism within the next four years, there's still a massive base of voters that would vote for a socialist in the '28 primary, and the left democrats will have had 12 years since Bernie's first campaign to build up the infrastructure for it by that point.

You can't blame a wolf for being a wolf.

Then get rid of the wolf, once the wolf is gone you can start your fight with the person you think was too timid in fighting the wolf, but until you get rid of the wolf, every time you stop to chastise the timid, the wolf gets an opportunity to strike.

I'm not privileged in the slightest, I'm incredibly pissed off that we're going to have to go through this because of them. I'm pissed off for all the people who will absolutely suffer because of them.

Is what you could say to the literal fascists trying to take over the country, but no, instead you'd rather criticize elected liberals because they aren't fighting in exactly the way you want then to fight.

I'm sure your namesake isn't very happy with them either.

I'm sure he's not unhappy with them enough to say he'd be happy when they get the wall when Trump is elected.

they deserve it

No one, fucking no one, deserves fascism, and you saying otherwise shows just how privileged and out of touch you really are.

There's a massive difference between a leak, even an intentional one, and coming out and holding a press conference telling Biden to step down.

Liquid breathing is definitely possible, you've even done it before (in the womb), but it's probably not possible with something like blood. I think your friend was probably mixing up two different concepts

The Solar system has vast secrets and riches, all for us, and we don't have to share, because it's our system.

That is until we find the massive moon worms whose tunnels we tried to colonize. /s

Ikr, If someone woke up from a coma today, this headline without context looks like the Trump Fifth Avenue quote actually happened.

I swear they could be better with these headlines.

Yes but only on the Trump security detail, he likes them looking cool. /s

For the Kennedys it certainly seems so

There are definitely some Christians that would consider belief in the devil, or atleast a powerful devil, as a Dualistic Heresy.

Oddly enough these would usually be the most progressive Christians who usually consider the devil to be a metaphor for immorality, and ultra traditional Christians who never adopted the conservative evangelical movement.

Nothing in that article mentions an Israeli veto, just that peace talks should happen between the two groups, and not just unilateral recognition that fixes nothing on the ground.

The two state solution is a fucking joke anyway.

Tell that to the Palestinian people.

If this was South Africa, would the solution be a two state solution?

South Africa didn't and doesn't have an equal amount of White and Black people like Israel-Palestine has Jews and Palestinians that each want their own state. The two state solution is literally the only credible solution and has been for 30 years.

He's just lying so people in the US stop calling him Genocide Joe and vote for him.

That was a handful of people online and a few protestors at his rallies. Those don't change longstanding U.S. foreign policy of support for two states, and Lemmy isn't representative of the U.S. voting population.

Odd that a president who calls for an independent Palestinian state is somehow pro-Palestinian genocide.

ActBlue handles donations for several organizations and candidates.

The specific affiliated organization he donated to was the Progressive Turnout Project

Federal Election Commission records show that a donor listed as Thomas Crooks with the gunman’s street address gave $15 to Progressive Turnout Project, a Democratic-aligned political action committee, on Inauguration Day in January 2021, when Crooks was 17.

Which progressives have endorsed which genocide?
