    She was very actively involved in the Tony Hawk remaster, which is definitely in the top 5 remasters, and that's why she got put on the D2 remaster after the WC3 debacle happened. Meanwhile the dude in question is posting on Twitter and streaming about boosting keys.

    The number of people who trash Blizzard daily but draw the line and jump to their defense as soon as they can blame something on a woman on the internet is fucking hilarious.

    Battlefield 2042

    I remember everyone saying BC2 wasn't a real Battlefield game when it came out. Only 16v16, no prone, etc. And yet it turned out to be quite arguably the best, because the original maps that shipped with BC2 were so perfectly tuned for the player count, the lack of prone, etc. It was a less...

    It's gotta be at least 10 years. I would say the last year of Diablo 3 development, when they should have been balancing and polishing the game and instead we got Jay "AND THEN WE DOUBLED IT" Wilson's idea of game balance instead is clearly when this company went off the rails, and it feels...

    I see it as the exact opposite. Opening up players to create and manage their own worlds within larger metaverses is the future of online gaming/MMOs at the very least. Games like Roblox, Rust and Valheim are a glimpse of the future.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Exactly. She's hired into a company already under scrutiny for poor pay equity and poor pay transparency, ostensibly to help fix said issues, and they decide to stiff her on pay in the process. This is the definition of an unforced error.

    She was offered the equal pay she wanted on her way out the door. Offering to pay people what they're worth on their way out the door is always the mark of a shitshow company.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    It sounds like they offered her equal pay after she had already quit, which is very similar to my experience leaving my previous employer. So she did exactly what she was supposed to. And speaking publicly about it is the right thing to do considering the company apparently has a major pay...

    On the flip side, what has this guy done to deserve any pay at all? He apparently sells M+ runs during work hours lol.

    Let me Bing that for you: It's like if Second Life and Minecraft had a baby, and that baby had a user-friendly interface that allowed 9 year olds design entire game worlds that interconnected with other game worlds. They have more than 10x the revenue that SL ever had at its height, and...

    It's incredibly innovative. Everyone is talking about a multiverse but Roblox is by far the closest to having actually built one.

    Halo Infinite

    The gameplay is very very basic, and I'm not sure I like the maps, but I'm absolutely amazed by the performance. Of the major FPS games released in the past 4 years, only OW comes close in terms of buttery smooth performance.

    It's a testament to Battlefield that you can still actually have fun sometimes in a game in such a shitty state with tons of retarded design decisions.

    Not sure where you've worked but a company isn't just a collection of "full-stack developers" randomly throwing code at things. It's a assortment of highly mediocre people using an ever-growing collection of internal tools and processes that rely on tons of institutional knowledge that is...

    Have you ever worked anywhere that does anything more complicated than make sandwiches? Getting people trained up on internal tools and processes at any company that does anything even remotely technical takes months, sometimes years, especially at a place where everything is built in-house and...

    Dexter: New Blood

    I went in with extremely low expectations, actively wanting to hate it, and I actually think the first 2 episodes were pretty good. That said, it is missing a lot of the quirky charm of the best seasons of early Dexter, but it's definitely not bad and could potentially be at least as good as...

    Halo Infinite

    Yes, compared to a maxed out end-of-match Battle Royale character with 7 lifebars, the TTK is low... sorta... but even then, not really. The TTK encourages teamplay though, which is good. I just feel like... it's impossible to acquire actual weapons other than the rifle most of the time...

    ETHE is very close to hitting my target price, I think I might just buy back in anyway. Probably not 100k at this price though lol. Maybe just 10k.

    Voice and IVR traffic that contains credit card numbers must be PCI compliant. That means encrypted SIP trunks out to the provider and any other 3rd party apps in the talk path, more certs between the IVR applications and the core voice stack, identity certs between all the servers within the...

    Pretty sure BC2 not having prone is why it was so good. Prone sounds great from a realism standpoint but just makes maps flow worse and play worse.

    That's not at all what I'm talking about. I don't mean "how do certs work?" I mean "actually dealing with certs in the real world." Specifically, the mechanics and logistics of actually managing a large number of certificates in multiple complex environments with products from multiple...

    Does anyone actually understand how TLS certificates work or does everyone just bullshit and say they know how TLS certificates work? Because every time I encounter someone who says they're a cert expert, they're just bumbling through it, give up halfway, and make me figure it out. See also...

    Is Hazard Zone fucking impossible or something? The TTK in this game is way too low, and the cover way too minimal to be fighting off hoards of enemies and other players. I just assume every squad gets wiped over and over.
