    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    At my last company, revenue-generating people could do basically whatever they wanted. Fuck and do coke in the office, no problem as long as you were generating leads or closing deals. Sleep with a client? Awesome. Rules were especially non-existent for sales people on the road. Meanwhile...

    They made the same mistake a bunch of other companies like Riot did. Hire a bunch of cute 20-somethings to spruce up the office scenery, for the express purpose of flirting with/sexually harassing them at work, and then when those girls mentally mature a couple years, realize what's actually...

    It's not GPU load. It's VRAM usage, VRMs, etc.

    New World

    Yeah, early WOTLK Alpha had the exact same bug. The main menu would run at 300-600 FPS on newer cards and burn them up. I reported it and that's why there's a 60 FPS limit in WoW menus.

    You should be able to just put an FPS limit in.

    My former employer was like this. People could drink openly on Friday afternoon. Or anytime it was someone's birthday. It was a 1000+ person company but hadn't lost the original party atmosphere. Once they finally cracked down on the partying after 2 big acquisitions and trying to be "a...

    I think it has to do with the age of the company and the age of the people working there. Companies that are young and growing fast and constantly have new people coming in the door while the founders and rockstars at the core of the company are blowing up and getting rich are just filled...

    Is that any different than the Dell Alienware 27inch? The AW2721D or whatever?

    Can we move this shit to a new thread? This thread is supposed to be about how much Shadowlands sucks.

    The next big MMORPG should drop the first M

    Yeah, this. I think the future is some kind of NFT-based system where you can make decentralized, pseudo-privately hosted games like Valheim but have objects and characters that can transfer between 'worlds.' I have a lot of ideas in this space but I don't want to give away too many details.

    Do you rent your server from EA or can you stand one up anywhere? I can easily build Oracle Cloud servers effectively for free.

    It is extremely unlikely that lawyers for a state agency would file such a lawsuit against a major, high revenue company within their state without a mountain of evidence.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    State attorneys have enough evidence to file a lawsuit against a major company in their state. That's not hearsay. Also consider the fact that Blizzard in their statement does not even really try to deny the facts and merely states that they've changed since the time described in the lawsuit.

    There's video somewhere of one of my ex-coworkers getting knocked the fuck out by a bouncer at a club at Mohegan Sun casino at an 'after-party' for one of our company holiday parties.

    This isn't necessary a bad thing. Blizzard's only shot at recovery as a company worthy of the name would involve cleaning house and completely reinventing itself. But they'd have to get rid of that shit for brains CEO too, and I don't see that happening.

    I'm thinking what actually happened is that someone in upper levels of management realized that the company culture was a dumpster fire and started reactively hiring people to try to counterbalance the toxicity and then just imploded the company culture even further.

    Exactly. Even Big P gets it. People spend years trashing Blizzard for putting out shitty content at a glacial pace, and now we suddenly have evidence that fits the observable facts, that they were playing video games and literal grab-ass all day, and then a bunch of people suddenly come to the...

    That person didn't and still doesn't have a blue check... Big P, let's talk. I came to the realization over the pandemic that nobody is going to award me points at the end of my life for all the time I spent being mad about stupid stuff, or even semi-important stuff. Anger is only valuable if...
