She's accused him of sexual assault. Several years ago apparently. He has generally ignored it or said she's off her meds.

Yeah there's only a couple subtle hints in the regular game and I think more in the dlc. I'm guessing they'll lean into it more with control 2 now that AW2 is out as well.

It's obviously working. These companies aren't spending millions of $ on advertising just to have 0 ROI.

I think you're probably right here, but just want to say that I've personally I've worked in multiple companies where they've spent millions on different things with no ROI. So it definitely happens. Sometimes leaders just like an idea and want to spend money on it.

Yeah, and that is also scary. There is so little accountability in tech and the excitement over AI is just going to create a new generation of tech bro leaders for Forbes to write cover stories about.

Yes, and I will judge the people using them. I know I shouldn't because even smart people do dumb things and phones often autocorrect to emojis now but when I see a comment with a lot of emojis my first thought is "that is the language of idiots".

(Not talking about an occasional smiling emoji, more like the people who use more emojis than words. )

I wish this narrative would get more traction. I don't get the love for Altman, even inside Open AI.

This whole drama has revealed.what I suspect is a larger problem across tech- that there are product-focused people who are legitimately trying to make tools to better society, and there are people who just want to make money.

Two guesses which type of person is usually in the C suite.

Yeah there's plenty amateur detectives out there with time on their hands who will absolutely find shit that the GOP doesn't want found. This seems all kinds of reckless.

I'd watch that movie. If only Ray Liota could be in it... RIP

This makes me so sad for her. I hope they got her a friend. :(

Still funny every time I watch it.

Bethesda built up a fan base around a franchise that liked playing an immersive, story-oriented, highly-moddable game where the main character is kind of core to the story. They moved to a genre where xxPussySlayer69xx is jetpacking around, the story couldn't matter much past the initial part of the game (since the point of the online portion is to have people replaying relatively-cheap-to-produce content), that couldn't be modded much (to keep balance and players from cheating), and where the player's character cannot matter much, because there are many player characters.

For real. I know every Fallout fan says this, but I don't even need a new Fallout game-a remaster of new Vegas or even FO3 would be awesome. I know that's not easy but it's less work than designing a whole new game. Sometimes devs could save themselves a lot of trouble and aggravation if they listened to the fanbase instead of trying to tell us what we want

Exactly. Why in the hell are we bending over backwards to make one group happy when most sentiment is moving in a different direction?

I don't understand why everyone in DC is so scared of Israeli lobbyists.

Yes I think this was it. I had some trouble finding a working version ( it's been moved a few times since I found it on reddit a few months ago. This one is on internet archive and seems to be working still.

Milk in Pepsi? What shortcircuited in their brain to make that taste good to them?

There's an interesting fan edit on the web with a bunch of deleted scenes added. I guess Disney came in at the last minute ( like literally a few days before shooting) and butchered the script to make it more kid friendly. The actors and director were understandably pissed and pushed back but Disney always wins. They ended up with all these gritty looking sets and a kind of goofy dialog that just didn't match.

It's a bummer because it seems like there were some really cool ideas in the original story.

That is disappointing, but not surprising.

Would love to see this happen in the US. Would be a total shitshow but very entertaining to watch.

I love this news and all but let's remember that Forbes is a hot garbage web magazine that is perpetuating a lot of the corporate narrative about how wfh is dying and how businesses need to bring people back because "culture".

I think they are trying to play both sides of the issue to keep those juicy clicks rolling into their site.

I'm just waiting for the cat to jump up on it and screw up everything.

Exactly. It would be more acceptable to have paid returns if 1)clothing photos and descriptions were more accurate and 2) if sizing was consistent within and across brands.

But I should not get punished because your company wants to make your size 6 in the measurements of a typical 10 so that you can inflate egos and sell more stuff.
