Resetera hates anything that has any traces of cultures outside of the USA+Europe... but the audience from this site is specifically anti-japanese (and anti-asian in general, as has been proven time and time again). They want their JRPGs, but they need for them to be catered specifically to the western audience and homogenized to look and sound like something out of Ubisoft or something.

They pretend to like diversity, but only if it's presented in a way that's specifically made to appeal to USA+Europe players.

Poor weebs :rofl

I’m currently 36 and watching this film now, I still feel like he’s older than me. Like he’s an adult and I’m not - if that makes sense. This feeling will probably presist til I’m like 60. At least.

Uh, I'm mentally 16.  My "GF" is biologically 16 too.  Can we use your room for 15 minutes?

Shit, man. Turns out Blizzard were giving women performance reviews. I’m literally shaking.

She actually says she's literally shaking in a later tweet  :rofl



Seriously, though - what? What did she honestly expect a performance review to do? Offer uncritical and unequivocal praise on her politics, social activism, sunny personality, choice of hair dye and unparalleled knowledge of Rick and Morty lore?

Working on the assumption that the "snippet" is clearly going to be the most critical and objective part of her whole review, it looks like she was given a very fair, constructive and overwhelmingly positive performance review.

We have raised a paper thin skinned generation. Pack it all up, Russia deserve to ream us.  :putin

 :lol I didn't see that she'd used 'literally shaking' in a later tweet. That chick is just a walking cliche.

I don't think we need to fear for the downfall of society. There needs to be a push toward equality for gender and sexual minorities, but there is a point where people just roll their eyes at a grievance and carry on with their day. That lady's tweet is one of those times.

I get that, but what exactly did she have a grievance with in that performance review? What part constitutes 'assault' and what part was 'sexual harassment'? I'm not being wilfully ignorant here, I genuinely can't see anything in it that even *hints* at either of those two things and I want to at least understand why she's so upset, even if I don't agree with it.

Thinking back to my old performance reviews when I was young, consistently wasted and disinterested, if her review is considered assault, then some of mine would be corporate genocide.

She's not talking about the assault and harassment stuff. She's saying in addition, they were holding women back as evidenced by a good performance review that makes reference to her bright future. So it doesn't make sense, but she's not saying it's harassment. More of a glass ceiling.

My bigot answer on why she's upset is 'well look at that fucking haircut'. You can immediately tell a lot about her from that haircut, all of which is subsequently borne out in the tweets.

The complacent 'just let it go' attitude doesn't work anymore. Before you know it useful idiots outlaw performance reviews or saying someone should chill out gets you fired. That's the world we live in now. Because they definitely won't let it go.

That 'keep your emotions in check, the problem isn't as big as you think' could've come straight from my daughters most recent (and excellent) school report. Good advice, and very true for who I know her to be.

Men and women emote differently in the workplace, and sometimes our extremes need keeping in check. If a woman cries at my workplace, she'll be taken in to a break room and comforted. If I sat and cried at work, the room would clear out and they'd all wish they'd been through an active shooter drill. Shit's just different.

I have no idea why that lady is so sure that no men got 'stop being belligerent and aggressive in meetings' on their performance review.

The complacent 'just let it go' attitude doesn't work anymore. Before you know it useful idiots outlaw performance reviews or saying someone should chill out gets you fired. That's the world we live in now. Because they definitely won't let it go.
I used to think that, but I'm not so sure any more. I can't really articulate why either. I also used to think that all the scattershot banging on about 'white men' would galvanise a group that really didn't have anything in common, and lead to a resurgence of 'white' as a racial identity worth supposedly fighting for. Oh wait, that did happen.

Maybe we should enforce some haircut rules on all workplaces and nip it in the bud then.

yeah it's weird, women can cry at work and everyone stops in their tracks, like shit now what.
I had one cry because I gave everyone the next day off as a surprise. Apparently she was on welfare benefits and had to report any day she couldn't work 2 weeks in advance or otherwise she wouldn't get the benefits.
So then I got into a debate how I thought that was some stupid bullshit and I would just write her down as being present even though she hadn't worked but that just made her cry louder.  :doge

Anyhow, for me the transition from just being a worker to management had some unexpected consequences.
I would just joke around about things when people had these bullshit workplace complaints about loud music, overtime, office supplies, clients or whatever.
But as soon as you get into a management position anything you say has a different meaning and they think you are serious about everything you say.
Just the other day someone from HR was doing risk assessment and asked if I thought we had enough windows and I said something like:
"I don't think many of us are athletic enough to make that jump. I'm more worried about the train tracks behind our offices"

And she somehow thought I was serious and shared information about suicide prevention with the team plus I sort of got a compliment for putting it on the radar in these "trying times". :success

The women wanted equal treatment and more workforce diversity in male dominated fields and they got exactly what they wanted. It just wasn't what they thought the 'white male privilege' of the average worker would look like.

Why the fuck would you want to work in the gaming industry? Unless you work in management,PR and marketing positions, it's 100% garbage. I don't know a single person who truly enjoyed their time there except for PR / management. And by PR i dont mean dead end crap like Community Managers.

Nah that's a little much, especially for a "senior level" (who knows if it is)  job.  But who's fault is it that she took it?  Who's fault is it that she signed the lease?  My job didn't find an apartment for me?  Where the fuck are these kids coming from?

Seems a little more complex according to this


Requirements
• Strong understanding of several languages such as python, C, java, powershell, puppet, chef
• Strong understanding of security best practices, and both its theory and practical implementation
• Strong understanding of instrumentation and telemetry
• 7+ years of writing code for use in large organizations
• Strong understanding of CI and build pipelines
• Solid understanding of active directory
• Solid understanding of large datasets, and how to both analyze and transform between different systems
• Highly motivated and self-driven, capable of working with little instruction to resolve demanding tasks, as well as work with internal teams
• Experience working in an enterprise environment

Pluses
• A degree in computer science or a related field
• Experience with monitoring tools
• Experience using group collaboration software
• Hands on experience with containerization technology such as docker or kubernetes
• A passion for video games


Why on earth would you accept a 60k a year job if you have this skillset in a city, I don't know..but it's your own damn fault for getting reamed.  You can make 90k a year as a junior web developer for some shitball webdev studio in NYC.  People that are too incompetent to find their own apartments are dying to get into a shitty industry - that's why the gaming industry can pay poor wages**.  A line out the door for these suckers.  Get your retweets in, I guess.

this demonstrates a tendency towards highly problematic thinking, a mindset of "well at least I'm not flippin' burgers" highlights how you see yourself as superior to them and devalues their role in society and as a human being

You couldn’t pay me to work in gamedev for a large developer. I’d do it as a side hobby, but those companies prey upon the young and ambitious.

I’ve been learning arrays[] this week so now I can store Blanches male suitors using proper data structures for my golden girls text based rpg!


Ps. After learning Dwarf Fortresses UI, learning c isn’t as bad as before (and I’m only half joking!)

you made the assertion it wasn't on topic when kanye's horrible public actions have been a part of the discussion around him since the MAGA crap started. given your aggressive statements towards other posters in this very thread when it comes to defending the indefensible because you like his beats... you know why you bumped this thread lol

They've been a part of the discussion to you. I haven't defended a single thing because I haven't commented on anything except the music. My post history is open if you'd like to go digging.

I don't pay as much attention to rich people's personal lives, pretty much exclusively the music. My "aggressive statements" are only seen that way by you because you've misplaced your anger toward a stranger. I don't see much of Era boycotting Amazon, Playstation, ND, Insomniac or any other entity they see as problematic so you can keep singling me out for not playing into the hypocrisy as much as you do. Your incessant arguing doesn't affect me how you'd like it to and somehow that bothers you, when it shouldn't.

Then another user calls out andymcc for being a hypocrite:

This mf is posting in a McDonald's thread without acknowledging their union busting, destruction of the Amazon, role as the symbol of American imperialism... how can someone defend the indefensible because they like fries!

In any other thread, I'm sure this guy would be banned for whataboutism, but andymcc doesn't realize that black users have special privilege's and the rules do not apply evenly.

Can Stufte shed some light on game development …….. I miss that guy.

Why would you ask him? He’s not a real game developer.

Well he won't post with this sort of attitude mister!

one of the more tiresome internet trends is this reductive "(PROBLEMATIC" ACTOR/MUSICIAN/COMEDIAN/WRITER/GAME DEV) just released this is and it's pretty cool" statement being met with 'OMG HOW DARE YOU, IF YOU LIKE THIS IT MEANS YOU HATE (INSERT OPRESSED GROUP) ADN WANT THEM ALL DEAD YOU PIECE OF SHIT"

Like enjoying Thriller or The Usual Suspects makes you a serial child molester too :trumps

It seems like a generation of people never got the 'don't meet your heroes' message.

This back and forth is funny. The guy updates the thread about the new Kanye album with news about how it is doing, and it triggers another user.

bet you love rubbing it in that people don't care about how awful kanye is, huh?

It's a thread about Kanye's DONDA album in which I posted a link about the album. You could start a thread if you like.

Quote from: andymcc
or i'll just continue to call out kanye's problematic shit in this thread thanks

Quote
Well one of us is on topic, and one of us isn't. Perhaps contact the mods if you'd like me to stop posting....about...the...thread...title?

Quote from: andymcc
the topic is kanye and his personality is part of his art.

Quote
I won't walk you through the topic title like you're in kindergarten because you're not. Argue semantics all you'd like but you know what's up.

More on topic: The record he broke was apparently the Jeezy v Gucci VERZUZ match. It's surprising to me that that would've been the record to beat.

also, is my math wrong here? Seems like a third of her salary before bonuses went to rent, that seems like a perfectly normal percentage to me?

Nah that's a little much, especially for a "senior level" (who knows if it is)  job.  But who's fault is it that she took it?  Who's fault is it that she signed the lease?  My job didn't find an apartment for me?  Where the fuck are these kids coming from?

A generation mostly raised being told they are special as they lost and finished in fifth place. Just no ability to withstand criticism of any kind.

Complaining about the job not finding a place for them to live. So fucking detached from reality  :lol

yeah it's weird, women can cry at work and everyone stops in their tracks, like shit now what.
I had one cry because I gave everyone the next day off as a surprise. Apparently she was on welfare benefits and had to report any day she couldn't work 2 weeks in advance or otherwise she wouldn't get the benefits.
So then I got into a debate how I thought that was some stupid bullshit and I would just write her down as being present even though she hadn't worked but that just made her cry louder.  :doge

Anyhow, for me the transition from just being a worker to management had some unexpected consequences.
I would just joke around about things when people had these bullshit workplace complaints about loud music, overtime, office supplies, clients or whatever.
But as soon as you get into a management position anything you say has a different meaning and they think you are serious about everything you say.
Just the other day someone from HR was doing risk assessment and asked if I thought we had enough windows and I said something like:
"I don't think many of us are athletic enough to make that jump. I'm more worried about the train tracks behind our offices"

And she somehow thought I was serious and shared information about suicide prevention with the team plus I sort of got a compliment for putting it on the radar in these "trying times". :success
The lesson from that is HR people are humourless aliens sent from another planet to destroy any semblance of joy left in the modern workplace.

Incelchief in that thread getting into fights with people and somehow Qanon discussion has popped up in a thread about Ghostbusters.

Would be a ban hammer for so many people but this shit stain gets free reign to do whatever she wants on there.

The women wanted equal treatment and more workforce diversity in male dominated fields and they got exactly what they wanted. It just wasn't what they thought the 'white male privilege' of the average worker would look like.
Imagine if they also had to support a partner and two kids on that 60k as well?

i always find it hard to be morally outraged when i feel like i'm being underpaid. i won't stand for it professionally because i know how much money is made from what i do (GD/animation), but when i take a step back and think about how much i'm being paid to do something so trival and ultimately inconsequential while people who can do things like fix broken down trains or have the constitution to spend their days wiping the dirty asses of people staring at death's door in a hospice earn less than me, it feels hard to be high and mighty about in anything beyond insular work circles.

I get paid six figures because I have the uncommon ability to write well and not make spelling mistakes (and come up with ways to make people pay attention to important messages they should probably listen to for their own benefit).

I don't feel guilty about it because not many people can do that shit. Is my job as important as the dude who wipes arses or fixes trains? Probably not, but  :ego :rollsafe :dice :trumps

There’s plenty of “nobody’s threatening to boycott this one hmm curious” baiting going on in there.

Most of them have given up and admitted that GB 2016 was terrible but there are a few holdouts.

Is that six Australian figures, or a real currency?
