Because the loan fraud involved his audio production company and his reputation is now marred?

Sounds about right. 41% of game devs got laid off last year, and there have been several more big layoffs since that survey.

Statistically, this is a terrible time to try and join the industry.

Or else they’ll say ‘stop’ again, but quieter

The billionaires’ various acts of performative space tourism are dumb to be sure, but they’re just a drop in the ocean for this specific issue.

Just curious if there are any others out there on Lemmy! Where are you based and what team do you support?

I live in the UK but I’m a Saints fan - started following the league in 2020 as a lockdown hobby and it stuck!

Why is there a button to unmute this comic strip?

YouTubers - especially large channels like this - constantly A/B test with different thumbnails and stick with whatever one drives the most traffic (no pun intended) to the video.

You might not like it, but it’s unfortunately the reality of operating a content creation business on an algorithm-driven platform.

There are plenty of channels I follow that make fantastic videos, but sometimes you have to tolerate the shitty thumbnails because that’s just the reality of the system they’re operating within.

I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.

We can view all our upvoted (or downvoted, saved, etc) posts & comments from the account page, but it’s just a simple chronological list.

I’d like to be able to filter the list, particularly by community or by user.

Example use case: I want to be able to easily see every post I’ve upvoted on [email protected] without having to scroll past everything I’ve ever upvoted anywhere.

I don't think we need an article to figure out the answer: Slay the Spire was a megahit and it's a copycat industry.

I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way either; there're always plenty of devs finding interesting new angles on the current hot genre and creating genuinely interesting new games in the process, but also a huge number of devs that end up just chasing the trend and releasing something uninspired/derivative.

Achievement % stats are so comically skewed by various factors that they mean basically nothing. There's an achievement in Minecraft for literally just opening your inventory for the first time but only 60% of Xbox players have it.

There's a little globe icon added in the bottom-right corner of external links, so you know that tapping the thumbnail will open a link rather than an image preview, but in its current form it's hard to see against darker thumbnails.

The posts I've highlighted with arrows in the image are both links, but it's almost impossible to tell.
