Thanatosian posted:I have a few friends who work in the American branch of a French company. They were told "in these trying times, if you need to take some time off to do 'community service,' please do. You know what your community's needs are, so you may take time off for whatever 'community service' you feel needs to be done." Well, to be fair, the French do know how to hold a proper riot against authority.

Oh man Steve writes for Stars and Stripes no wonder it was so confusing for him. At least his twitter feed is full of concern and compassion for the true victims in all this https://twitter.com/StevenBeynon/status/1268278479805652996 He also is doing a lot of "Look don't mix up innocent soldiers with those evil cops, it's clear who is who. I mean except when it's not" https://twitter.com/StevenBeynon/status/1268130587505840129 e: lmao he deleted the first one, it was someone complaining about how the "military" don't have any sort of identifying information, that he quoted and said "I hope they're doing a good work rotation and have lots of water, it's hot af out today!"

Late to the NA beer chat, but there's a phenomenal capitalism.txt story there. In prewar Japan, beer was considered a foreign luxury and taxed heavily compared to wine and liquor, and the tax remained high even during the post-occupation rice famine (due to both decolonization and forced capitalist reforms to the farming system) that was somewhat papered over by wheat aid from the US. So when things began to settle down to an economy stable enough to at least support depression luxuries like heavy drinking in the cities, there came a limited set of options - imported liquor was obviously inaccessible, including the sippable blend that was popular prewar; the standard mixers for the local liquor were inaccessible as well, and shots went too fast for an unemployed populace; rice that would have made the local wine was mostly reserved for keeping belly from meeting back; and beer prices were sky-high between demand from occupation forces and the old tax structure. Enter the essentially untaxed NA beer-grain liquor cocktail, which is still a run-down diner mainstay.

bike tory posted:loving hell, Activision blizzard has to be the biggest games developer/publisher around right? And they employ less than 10000 people? They pay like garbage, too, because "you get to work for Blizzard." It looks very good on a resume, so they get away with it. But that has driven off most of their longtime developers. I don't think they're in a great place right now, but I don't know for sure; their Diablo mobile game was a flop (probably because of how they launched it), the WC3 remake was a disaster, Heroes of the Storm is basically dead, and I don't fully know how Hearthstone is doing, but I feel like it was falling in popularity before the whole Hong Kong thing. They've got WoW and WoW Classic, but I'm not sure how much longer they can continue to cruise on those through sheer momentum.

bike tory posted:loving hell, Activision blizzard has to be the biggest games developer/publisher around right? And they employ less than 10000 people? There's a lot of weird incestuous backdoor deals with video game companies in general, like who is the dev, the publisher, the rights holder etc. so you get things like the big names, Bethesda, Activision, Bioware, farming out working to other studios and then loving them on residuals, bonuses, and such but when studio A ends up shuttering because of getting screwed over by Activision it doesn't count as "Activision loses employees" The video game development cycle is also a hell world of terrible planning and budget goals, most projects are wildly expensive when they don't need to be (Tim Schafer and his $$$ spent on famous celebs for voice acting instead of making a good game) or mismanaged to the point where "crunch time" is seen as a feature of the business when it means work yourself to death for 3 months because the game must be finished on time and we wasted the last 9 because decision makers kept changing their minds. Here's a relevant example rope kid posted:Interplay was entering The Dying Time and Black Isle had two (IIRC) games in production: Torn (RIP) and The Black Hound (RIP later). I was the lead designer on the latter. pentyne has issued a correction as of 22:56 on Jun 4, 2020 |
