I don't think they realized anything. I worked for them for 13 years. I think they are likely looking at a strategy to bring archived games with low hardware requirements to new platforms that can run them.

For example, I worked on NBA and Madden Mobile. These were ps3 games that were ported.

It's a good strategy. Why start from scratch when you can just port existing titles that had good sales.

It's nice because you're getting whole leaf tea, rather than tea dust in a tea bag. You can also buy as little or as much as you want and not get stuck with something you hate.

If you're that dumb, it's natural selection at that point.

The best part of that robots.txt is:

Reddit believes in an open internet, but not the misuse of public content.

Sure Jan.

Oh 100%. You can try kagi out on a free trial, which is what I'm on. It's nice because you get different search results that aren't constrained to the Google algorithm.

What I mean by this, I search for recipes a lot, on Google all the recipes are identical. When I use Kagi, they differ with the main search team I want.

I plan on using Kagi and subbing when I have the money.

It's better to pay for a product than be the product imho.

edit: for the recipes I mean on Google it's the same promoted main steam food network bs, etc every. Single. Time. With Kagi I feel like it's smaller people with recipes with more relevancy to the terms I type in.

You should check out loose leaf teas. I find them to be less expensive and better quality. I like a mail order catalog called Upton tea imports. You can get 100g of earl grey for 7 bucks which is 18 cents a cup. They also have a cool quarterly magazine.

There are lots of other places to get loose leaf teas, like the grocery store in the bulk goods section. You can get little paper filters or get a strainer. I don't like the little clampy ball one, but it's cheap. I prefer the pour over basket.

Yeah when I worked at BioWare we would do things gradually, then I moved to EA Mobile and staging and testing was like a foreign concept. It was wild. Fortunately that changed, but having a staging instance is really really important, as I'm sure many people now realize. Sometimes lessons are hard. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

For that, you actually will need realistic goals and more competent managers. Lol

When I started working at EA 14 years ago (I got laid off last year) they literally told us we might have to sleep under our desks. I promptly told them if that was the case, I would quit. Instead they made us work 7 days a week 9-9 for months. Fun job.

What you don't want to go to "X"? I can't imagine why. lol /s same though. Also I refuse to call it x. It's fucking Twitter. It's like that line in mean girls, "Gretchen, quit trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen!" Lol

Woohoo!! This awesome! As a game dev, I can speak to how awful the industry can be. That's really great news that they unionized. 🙌
