A bit of career suicide for visibility on government corruption?
Sure he’s a tool, but this will likely make a lot of people feel a little uncomfortable.
At least for twenty seconds or so.
I don’t get it. I mean I get it because it’s Ninty, but I don’t get why now?
Has there been something in a major new feature update that has finally tipped the scales into clearly taking the piss, or have the legal team at Big N finally seen their erections subside after the game’s launch and only now can move enough to do something about it?
I mean, “I’m only happy when it rains” should be the national anthem for Catland.
change the fact
There’s your failing.
I’m not saying he did or did not see whatever supposed corruption you’re saying is going on.
However, you’re trotting out the usual ACAB trope when you have the same level of knowledge as anyone else - that is to say, fuck all. There’s little to support your assertion of a “fact” here at all.
I’m not arsed one way or another whether you like cops or not, but at least make your arguments make sense.
Take a break. It must be tiring being this deliberately obtuse.
I can see where you’re coming from - if you look at Ultimate Doom or Doom II and put Doom 64 next to it, then there is a raft of limitations and shortcomings that make it appear to be an inferior product. I personally prefer Doom II as well, with the banging soundtrack and the iconic levels.
However, I’d argue you’re missing out by approaching it with that mindset. Aubrey Hodges score is less of a soundtrack, and more of an ominous hum in the background - and the overall art style is far more drab and depressing. I’d probably suggest it has more in common with Doom 3 than it does with the first two. I personally prefer the sound effect collection in Doom 64 - the shotgun sounds meatier, the Barons from Hell’s alert sound is a bit more worrisome, and the doors sound a bit more industrial.
Personally I agree with the N64 controller assessment - it feels like it was built by someone who forgot how many hands humans have 😂 but the adaptations in the Unity ports make it more than enjoyable now on Xbox or Dualshock controllers.
The laugh is, the Watch Me Die mode (the Ultra Violence of the 64 editions) is probably the easiest “hard” mode on original hardware, purely because the technical limitations prevented lots of enemies (of any tier, not just hitscan wankers) being spawned - and space limitations prevented difficulty spikes caused by Boney Bois (Plutonia-style) or Arch-Bastards ruining your day by not being included in the game at all.
It’s still a very, very good Doom game. 64 and PlayStation Doom should be played together for the alternative Doom experience.
Disclosure: I’m in the UK where the worker protections are half-decent.
was it ever not OK?
It was not OK to not take a jobby on work time when you had the opportunity!
I’ve worked shifts where my relief staffer has been in twenty minutes early (long commute, unpredictable traffic) so I’ve handed the shift over, and ensured that the remainder of my time was spent losing half a kilo of weight in five minutes. Conversely, it feels far more productive to leave the house half-needing to give birth to a brown otter, and nip to the bog once your feet are clear of your workload that you’ve taken on from the previous shift to go and perform the bowel movement while being paid for it.
Shitting in my own khazi on my days off feels like voluntary work now.
Sensibly though, any manager who controls bog time is just a bit of a fanny. Unless someone is obviously taking the piss like spending four hours of a ten hour shift, then people will perform better once they’ve laid a cable whenever they’ve needed to.
I have no idea who this geezer is and I hope it stays that way.
At the risk of sounding dismissive, I lost interest when he threw out the “social experiment” bullshit and his credibility went down the toilet with it.
Good on the dude for losing the beef though. Regardless of who you are, it takes balls and it takes effort.
Do a credit card next!
Reminds me of the mid2000’s era of British journalist Gary Cutlack trying to post every instance of a spiral in the real world, linking it to the upcoming announcement of a Dreamcast 2.
I miss that sort of journalism.
Brilliant, thank you - that’s really interesting and appreciated.
I still remember typing JPELC at the Mission: Shark title screen to toggle cheats.
Awesome.
I’ve no idea why, but the Polish could make the 800-series sing. An entire generation of bedroom coders getting their games onto top tier labels like Zeppelin, Mastertronic etc.
Janusz Pelc springs to mind, he (she?) seemed incapable of writing a bad game, super talented.
It fills me with hope that this RM800 will do well.
I find it quite handy - it’s a bit excessive on nearly every post, but it does add context when I don’t recognise the news source, and it’s useful to see whether I really need to do some more digging on the article rather than should look for other views on a story.
It’s frustrating to see a comment or two on a post preview pane you’re interested in though and boom, it’s a bot rather than another user to engage with.
It would work really well as a plug in or tool, giving you inline information in the post itself.
Oh I like a pessimistic view - partly because it makes a discussion spicier, but also because it’s important for a user to understand the power that an instance owner wields!
Oh man, this is awesome - it’s wonderful hearing from the practitioners of the art!
I’m just trying to figure out what driver establishing the tipping point for breaking or the ban hammer - is there any empirical data to drive these decisions, or is the fediverse user base small enough that you act on “feel” or “professional instinct”?
Managing emerging technologies fascinates me so any input - including the germs you’ve already volunteered - is very much appreciated 👍
That’s a strong viewpoint and I appreciate where you’re coming from, but how many votedicks does it take to derail a post? I appreciate the fediverse is reasonably small in comparison to othe headline social media sites, but does banning one or two bots or people do enough to save posts from getting bombed?
Thamk you for the insight, instance administrator views are valuable and unique.
At the risk of sounding like I’m presenting a bad faith argument, why ban them? I don’t like the whole “free market” analogy but surely it’s one of the liberating features of federated servers, being able to to largely express your votes or content as you see fit within the legal framework of the host nation. Wouldn’t the odd one or two mass downvoters/upvoters/theyvoters ultimately be a statistical abberation or is the fediverse still small enough for this sort of shit to carry weight?
Open criticism of my view welcome, as always!
Unless it’s the initial outreach team or on-premises staff, sales would be one of the few roles totally suited to remote working.
Some of the more creative or collaborative roles I can see the argument for hybrid working - even if it’s just one day a week or month in the office - but sales, customer service, or first line support seems to be the last area you’d impose a return to work mandate on.
That said, I haven’t got extortionate office rents to justify 😂
