It’s like I’ve told a number of my bosses in the past: you have to treat the people making your money for you well, or they just fuck off. They never listen, and everyone always just fucks off. I’m a soothsayer!

Anticorp ,

They figured out that that statement isn’t true when they control the entire market through insider fixing and oligopolistic practices. They also figured out that the average person’s tolerance for eating shit is much higher than previously thought.

roguetrick ,

Hey, the more tranquility in the market, the more you get investors looking to enter it and extract things. Your goal should be to make it a hell scape for all involved and with an acceptable margin if you want to maintain your vice president position.

Not as high as they thought, though. Which is why all the streaming services are losing customers and getting super desperate.

To be fair most streaming services were never profitable and ran purely off VC funding

verstra , in What's the worst that could happen?

If you feel any better: i think that modern requirements for games are bizarrely too high for relatively small gains over what we had 10 years ago.

passepartout ,

Yes, because

  • developers can’t be bothered to optimize the game if management breathes into their necks
  • DRM like Denuvo tanks performance, ironically only for the people not pirating and thus paying for the game
ZeDoTelhado ,

No kidding, denuvo made me stop buying games every time because I just detest it and what it stands for. Also, boggles resources way too much (and no, having a root kit is a no no for me). But more importantly, single player games with denuvo is the ultimate low.

taiyang ,

The fact denuvo can make a 20+ year old port run like garbage is especially impressivly bad. It’s sometimes hard to avoid, but usually it gets dropped because it’s a subscription a publisher has to pay. Patient gamers just have to be patient.

BorgDrone ,

Fuck it, we’ll just have it render at 320p and let FSR upscale it to 4k.

I recently went installed GTA SA and my CPU was running at freaking 20% with graphics cranked up. I remember when I played it around 2010 by potato PC was lagging and freezing. But anyway the game still rocks after 24 damn years and it only requires 4-5 GB

WarmSoda ,

Back in the day the online servers for that game were crazy fun.

I’m still using a GTX 1070 and none of the games I play has had issues yet. The most recent games I’ve played on it were hitman 3, cult of the Lamb and Cross code. None of the games are that demanding but they were all good. I guess I just don’t play AAA titles (although hitman 3 is AAA but older).

JackFrostNCola ,

You can kinda see a wooden step on the LHS between the support poles, and based on them all not sliding into the centre there must be some sort of seating welded inside (although hard to see if there are any weld heat marks in the quality of the photo). So there probably is a good spot to step either side of the lip if you hold the chains while entering/exiting.

unexposedhazard ,

Yeah, fuck Nintendo but this is very obviously bullshit unless they actually made and sold a product.

brbposting ,

Very obviously a joke. Cardboard, people! :)

FiniteBanjo ,

Counterargument, Nintendo strikes nonprofit videos and tries to take down free and open source emulators such as Yuzu and Dolphin. The fact that this is so believable should give you an idea of the sort of shit Nintendo is known for.

skulblaka ,
@skulblaka@startrek.website avatar

Yuzu wasn’t completely free; that’s sort of what got them into hot water in the first place and the reason why Nintendo hasn’t also sued SNES9X into the dirt. Yuzu had a patreon with certain releases gated behind it. That’s what got them in trouble.

semperverus , in Scrub Mommy
@semperverus@lemmy.world avatar

Theres a scrub mommy?! I thought it was just scrub daddy

laurelraven ,

Yes, the difference is that instead of it being firm or soft depending on if you use cold or hot water (respectively), it has a firm side and a soft side that remains that way regardless of water temperature.

At least, that’s my understanding, I’ve never tried a scrub mommy

wise ,
@wise@feddit.uk avatar

The hard side changes depending on temperature the same way as the original. It just has a sponge stuck to it. They’re decent, as far as sponges go.

Source: I use them daily

laurelraven ,

Gotcha, good to know!

PM_Your_Nudes_Please ,

The mommy has a sponge side.

Realistically, I prefer having a scrub daddy and a separate sponge. Cuz the scrub daddy’s plastic mesh lasts a long time and doesn’t trap food particles, but sponges trap food and get gross really quickly. I’ve found that I end up replacing a scrub mommy way more often than a scrub daddy, simply because the sponge side is gross. It feels wasteful, when I could simply have a separate sponge that I replace as needed.

Corporate abuse investigations take fucking forever, unfortunately

areyouevenreal ,

Either way I suspect Linus himself is only a small component of the problem if it exists

It’s easy for employees to do stuff you don’t know about.

Of course he is still a capitalist and is as guilty as any other “well behaved” capitalist.

MrBusiness ,

Wasn’t his wife, Yvonne, head of the HR department for LMG? That alone seems like a big ass red flag.

areyouevenreal ,

That’s a good point to be fair. I think they have an external team now thankfully.

David_Eight ,

It did not matter if I spoke to someone with evidence of an abuse of power, or inappropriate workplace behavior, it was considered tattle taling.

I was actually called a tattle tale

-Madison Reeve

areyouevenreal ,

Did she say who called her that or who she took her complaints to? Linus Media Group is a fairly large company these days. We also don’t know yet how much of what she said is actually true.

David_Eight ,

No, she never named anyone specifically afaik. LMG isn’t so large that she didn’t have access to speak with Linus directly though. Also multiple former LMG employees corroborated everything she said about her experience working there.

areyouevenreal ,

Do you have some sources?

David_Eight , (edited )
  • Madisons initial Tweets(allegations) for reference

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741?re…

  • Linus’s response to Madison’s claims (Tweets)

theverge.com/…/linus-tech-tips-gamersnexus-madiso…

  • I remember all this stuff was on Twitter(which I don’t have) and other social media making it difficult to track down. If I can, I’ll post more later.

www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/xBt9TuvTq5

-EDIT-

  • Here’s a thread about Maxine (and others) liking Madison tweets. Maxine also made a somewhat cryptic video right after Madison quit.

www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/uGXWO6mn4M

  • Tarren coberating a small (somewhat unrelated portion) of Madison’s story

www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/nlzgsFjtnp

  • Meeting about how to handle HR related issues that was held at LMG after Madison quit.

www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/bonz62CySh

  • Madison providing responding and providing context to the above meeting

www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/uTsy6GfcKM

I think it’s also important to note that not one current or former LMG employee has come out disputing any of Madisons claims. On the other hand, Linus (or LMG) had been caught lying as per the Gamers Nexus reporting.
