Option 4: It’s modern SqEnix, their executives couldn’t profit from selling popcorn at a movie theatre.

I don’t think many people would claim overall valuation has much of anything to do with the value labor brings to an organization.

Apologies, can you clarify what exactly you mean by this? Because when I say their labour is not being valued, I do extend that to the Wall Street orgs that are doing the evaluations. They look at the “product” on offer, not the people actually working and developing it.

Are you saying because stock prices aren’t steady, we can’t correlate that to salaries?

Brilliant, thanks for this!

I said in a comment on mastodon that I don’t think the batch of newer employees hired at Nvidia are going to have anywhere near the same compensation as the current employees do, and this kind of helps support my suspicions…

Which could lead to a morale problem in the company too (speaking from experience)

Well, they technically will see SOME cents of this because I’m pretty sure Nvidia gives employees stocks too.

But yeah, I also posted this because it’s a clear illustration of how most salaries will never reflect the value your labour brings to an organization.

It’s so interesting that there are comments about how people can mute/block people if they get harassed, but nothing about the people doing the actual unhinged harassment. It seems personal responsibility only should be for the victims of harassment…

On the topic itself, I actually know someone who works at Riot that is working on their “player management” tools, and the amount of data they have driving these is fascinating. The datasets they have are global, and aside from Vanguard, apparently there are certain toxicity trends that are so niche (in the Chinese servers, for example), you have to tune for the other server data sets for it (they weren’t really clear on how this works).

I really wish I could see what the backend of this tech is like, very few games have 10+ years of player and esports data to train their LLM/AI models.

This is why I report the job postings to the website posted, and to my country’s department of labour. I know it seems futile, but I’m petty and I have time.

Turns out, it’s actually helpful, I had someone reach out to me saying they were investigating a certain company, and if I had any more information about the screenshot I sent them a year ago.

Yes, that is indeed my point.

Did we already forget about the Tide Pods? This isn’t new, it’s just a different social media platform.

My main file has 418 plays (I think the highest heat I’ve cleared is 23-24 maybe?), and I got the game mid-2022. Drip fees me that plot, Supergiant, because I AM the target audience.

Thank you for the links! Someone else has also mentioned Mint, and I love the Win7 interface, so that’s probably what I’ll be playing around with.

Thanks for the link, I’ll take a look at the guide over the weekend! Someone already mentioned Linux Mint as a starter, but if I have any questions I’ll definitely take you up on the DM offer!

Thank you so much for writing this out, I really appreciate it! Looks like I’ll be installing Mint on my old laptop this weekend to see how I fair.

Oh absolutely. Looking back I probably asked in a hardcore Linux enthusiast community (no fault to them, we all get tired of our parents/siblings/coworkers asking us to “fix the wif”)

I just don’t know where the Linux-noob safe spaces are. Is Lemmy’s Linux community one?

I want to switch to Linux, but I honestly don’t know how/where to even start or the proper way to even ask.

I asked once on a Linux forum when the whole Cortana debacle happened, and I was called a moron or sent a link to “Linux from scratch”…which was definitely above my technical knowledge at the time. I’ve been scared to post on Linux communities ever since lol

True, but your point is more consumer side. The headline is talking about CDPR wanting to have a “banging game” on release, which is historically uh…sketchy at best. They should be called out on the statement separate from consumer habits.

Wasn’t the Witcher 3 also a mess at release? I’ve never played them, but I distinctly remember my friends complaining about it, and now it’s pretty beloved.

Maybe CDPR is hoping the same thing happens with Cyberpunk?

Did not expect a direct Devilman reference on Lemmy. Our population may be small but damn do our niches run deep.

You can pet the dog! 10/10 game

Ok no joke, I discovered Dead Cells, one of my favourite rougelike games currently, through Netflix. I was browsing through Netflix mobile, saw that they had a gaming section, and that was one of the first suggested games.

I now own 3 copies of Dead Cells+DLCs (one for every platform I game on). However, I don’t have a Netflix subscription anymore, lol.
