Shopify Employee Breaks NDA To Reveal Firm Quietly Replacing Laid Off Workers With AI
  • I am not surprised at how quickly companies have shifted to AI support. I forsee a frustrating future for anyone looking to get help with anything in the future.

    I find myself calling into support just to be sure that I'm talking to an actual person rather than brain dead 'Ai' systems that are more useless than a well made faq.

  • What Happened to Dolphin on Steam?
  • From what I heard, Valve actually reached out to Nintendo to see if they would be ok with hosting it. Nintendo obviously said no so Valve stopped going ahead with the launch. Here is an article straight from dolphin themselves explaining what happened.

  • Taxpayers group calls on Olivia Chow to cancel Toronto's World Cup hosting duties
  • This is unfortunately something that we can only look at past events and how they preformed. If I remember correctly, Toronto isn't building any new stadiums just for the World Cup games so they stand to make more money as there won't be that huge need for infrastructure projects that would eat into the revenue generated by people coming to the city.

  • What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?
  • Noclip did a doc about it recently (https://youtu.be/GtNvEna6bxc). I remember seeing it for the first time at a buddies place growing up, but I didn't have a strong enough computer to run it. I did though when black and white 2 came out and it was awesome! I feel the only thing comparable to it currently is the Anno series, no spells or anything but just city management and stuff.

  • What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?
  • I feel that when it first came out all my podcasts that I was listening to at the time were talking about it for at least 6 months. It really got its hooks into me and I also come back to it occasionally as well.

  • Do you have any games that you like but you never finished?
  • I found that I really had to put all other games aside and focus on it.

    I actually started by playing the first two games before starting 3 and that really helped me focus on just playing 3 because at that point I was super invested. 1 and 2 are both pretty short games (compared to 3) but super different from each other so if you want to give that a try it might be worth it.

  • Do you have any games that you like but you never finished?
  • I got like 40 hours into MGSV and I just got burnt out on it. I feel that going back I would probably have a better time but the first time I was obsessively doing the side missions and it just killed it for me.

  • Do you have any games that you like but you never finished?
  • Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I was taking my pace but it took me so long to get anything done that eventually it just fizzled out for me. I don't think I made it half way through the story and at this point I don't think I can go back and play it because it seems like such a chore.

  • Controversial Vancouver Chinatown condo development approved by development board
  • I don't understand this obsession with 'architectural disconnect' argument, who cares if it doesn't look the same as the surrounding buildings. It's just another tool for NIMBY's to use to shut down progress, personally I love it the mix and match of buildings architecture, it makes traveling through cities visually interesting! I don't want this strange suburban hell where all buildings are copy-pasted all over the place, let your areas have some variety

  • Reddit's CEO's Response Is What No Leader Should Ever Do
  • I doubt he would listen to anyone, and it seems like there was no plan at all to conceal the fact that they just wanted to kill all the apps and push users to the official one.

    This whole lie about 'we only want to make money on people using our data for AI' is bullshit and they know it, they could have easily locked down the API and then charged different rates for different companies depending on their intended use. But lumping it all in the same cost structure let's them get away with killing apps entirely.

  • Sync for Reddit is pivoting to lemmy
  • From what I remember it that is true, he let another developer give it a shot since he had no interest/experience in IOS development. Maybe he'll do it again and a more dedicated developer will be able to complete the port this time.

  • Avowed Gameplay Trailer
  • Hopefully, even though it's smaller, it feels more connected. I think that's what I was missing from the outer worlds, it just felt so did jointed. I should Go back and give it another go though.

  • Itching to upgrade something, but what?
  • Yeah that's the only thing on the list that I could see a possible improvement in performance in. I'm waiting on a good price for an x3d and I'm coming from an 5600x. Outside of that there won't be much of an improvement anywhere.

  • Microsoft promises Starfield has “fewest bugs” of any Bethesda game
  • lol I'll wait and see, but 'fewest bugs' in a Bethesda game isn't exactly inspiring confidence the way they probably assumed it would.

    Very curious if this is enough of an engine overhaul to make it a little bit more stable in general.
