JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon said during a Wednesday town hall he didn’t care how many employees signed a petition to bring back hybrid work. The company in mid-January announced a 100% return-to-office mandate, which angered many employees, who argue the move “disproportionately” pushed out women, caregivers, senior employees, and employees with disabilities.

 

Infinite shoe durability does what it says on the shoebox - disabling the wear and tear Henry accumulates on his footwear while gallivanting around the Bohemian wilderness, and so eliminating the need to replace or repair his favourite pair. To me, this is both a little baffling (again, surely you play a game like KC:D II for this kind of frictive minutiae), but also very funny, simply because I find the idea of infinite shoes very funny.

 
 
 
 

Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

"There's no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die," a user wrote.

I know a few women who enjoy 40k. But the ones I know enjoy it like how I enjoy it... Just painting figurines, making little dioramas, and pretending like we understand the rules while some smarter player gives up and just tells us what to do next.

Some VR games, you have a sword. Some, you have a bow.

A bunch are very much like Wii-style bowling & sports simulations.

Some are adventure games. And some are puzzle games.

Around 2010, I worked for a company where one project was to increase the social profile of our company. We hired a marketing company to help us improve how our CTO, CEO, CFO, all the C-level folks looked to the public. Pretty much, throwing money to make these people get famous, so the company to could make money from all the news.

A year later, CFO was on talk shows discussing his new book, which was a NYT best seller. The book was garbage and full of content scraped from a dozen other "thought leaders".

The thought leader circlejerk where hundreds of them have ghost writers write their shit, all of them tell the same 10 stories, all of them quote each other, all of them buy their way onto NYT best sellers list because some thought leader friend wanted to do the same so they inflate the sales. Then the Ted talks, the podcast tours, the constant INNOVATORS bs. Yuck.

His Indian kids are reaching that age when they either realize he's a hateful insufferable piece of shit, OR they themselves become spoiled rich assholes with no moral compass and live off the griff.

I would have disagreed with you when Pis were like $50 and chaining 3 Pis together with a hard drive was a fun project to do self hosting.

Now to get to the beefiest raspberry pi, it's $120. And in the range, yeah, for price and reliability, use a mini-pc/laptop.

Not me! I got Kingdom Come for either under $5 or free last year.

So I expect to get the sequel at the same price in about six years.

Also the whole Gamersgate backlash that the lead was actively encouraging, and now the dev arguing against the anti-woke crowd... Yeah I'm not in a rush to give them money.

Thanks for the write up! I had no idea this is why Suicide Squad was such a letdown.

Wonder woman is, in my opinion, an odd choice for a video game. I think it could be really good, and her rope would translate well to video game mechanics, but it doesn't feel like Wonder Womans time to shine right now

Id argue that I felt the same about Batman not being translatable to a game during the 2000s. Video games based on comics were absolutely awful. Superman 64 was a nightmare, and Batman games were beat-em-ups or platformers.

But really smart creatives made the Arkham series work. So I'm optimistic that in the hands of strong visionaries, it's absolutely possible.

Now, do I think WB has the capacity to make a good Wonder Woman game? Haha nope. Not after what they've shown in the last few years.

Some people need to be separated. This isn't about censorship, it's about group dynamics.

Let's take it from both angles - just to avoid politics. A disruptive kid in a classroom affects every other kid. Get rid of that kid, and suddenly the whole classroom improves. Everyone can agree to that.

The other side - a company has a pro-union worker. Shitty company doesn't like not controlling their workers, so they find a way to fire them.

Back to the Nazi, separate them from the rest of society. We don't need them.

Good. Spez is going to kiss the ring of Musk, I guarantee it.
