Right? Ketamine and vibes-based investment. Buttcoin and GameStop to the moon, etc.

If it were a zero-sum game, I’d be all for everyone else dumping their cash into meme stocks and panic-selling, but those sorts of activities just exacerbate the situation.


I’d encourage you not to make rash financial decisions based on emotions.

But your portfolio shouldn’t be concentrated on NVDA anyway.




Same! It’s so great on the Steam Deck. I’ve got a game going right now …


Oh sweet I can get Raptor for 84¢ right now, haven’t played that since the '90s



Why? Are we allergic to fun now? Worried that this franchise is just going to be yet another shooty shooty bang bang with no discernable characters or story, just skins, guns, and microtransactions.



Android is developed by Google, if that’s why you have that impression.



Cool, but I already bought it like 20 years ago and still have it on steam





I don’t think the goal is to play each mission once and only once in a single specific way.



So it’s a Bond reboot origin story?

Really suckling at the teat of originality, aren’t we




Oh, for fuck’s sake. Just let me fucking play your game, Sid. Stop fucking around.


And full Steam Deck compatibility at launch, right?







I keep my electrons in little bottles called “batteries.” When I need photons, I cause some electrons to pass through a photodiode.


The layoffs will continue until the XBox sales improve

Edit: holy shit, just remembered that a fresh MS recruiter got in touch with me just a couple weeks ago for a term contract position on an XBox product. I’m guessing this is gonna be their new strategy: no more layoffs, just let the contracts expire! I don’t need that kind of uncertainty in my life.



They likely had some outlandish request or policy that was anathema to the department’s mission, and just assumed that they would cave. Seems like good leadership stuck to their principles, and the good leaders were followed by teams who weren’t willing to lose that.

If the owner is smart, they’ll backtrack, make concessions when hiring everyone back, and learn from their fuckup. In reality, I hope the new company that forms from the exodus finds fast success.


Like, maybe the new company that forms from the entire team that left


LOL, they say they’ll replace the staff and honor existing contracts. It’s gonna be shit quality. All their partners will be better off severing ties, reclaiming paid funds, and going with the new company that inevitably forms from the department previously known as Annapurna Interactive.


The worst part is the “Very Positive” reviews.


The word “app” would be short for “application.” “APP” in all caps implies an initialism.

FOSS is an initialism. “Foss,” with not all of its letters capitalized, would not be.

Hope this helps.


What does APP stand for? What is Fossness? (Fossity?)


I wonder how much of the problem is from people simply not knowing about it. It’s always fascinating when I first hear about things when they are cancelled.
