grrgyle@slrpnk.netto Games@lemmy.world•Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of ThousandsEnglish6·22 hours agoSame thing with open concept offices. To extraverts it feels more productive and collaborative, but it’s actually the oppo to anyone engaged in any kind of focus work.
grrgyle@slrpnk.netto Games@lemmy.world•Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of ThousandsEnglish6·23 hours agoThat’s great. It’s like you were temporarily a worker’s co-op.
I remember my company at the time also admitted that COVID was threatening the bottom line and many in the all hands and public chats suggested just what your company did.
Instead we got multiple rounds of gutting layoffs mid-pandemic, a mass exodus of core talent, and the founders selling out to some B tier silicon valley fucks who fly in every now and then to complain about morale.

I mainly played on the 3DS from when I was 6 until I was 15, so I don’t have as much experience with other consoles.
[…]
The 3DS was simply Nintendo’s best era, and I don’t think we’ll see anything like that again given the current direction of their latest consoles…Curious if others agree. I would’ve thought that it would be the SNES era, but that’s probably betraying my age more than anything.
Great article! On par with gaming publications, and actually probably better than most Nintendo Power articles I remember from back in the day. Great job!!

grrgyle@slrpnk.netto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•The Illuminator Advert - Game Boy AccessoryEnglish8·5 days agoI remember waiting for my parents to drive by street lights so could unpause and kind of make out the screen. Really I was just walking Link around the beaches of Koholint collecting rupees until I maxed out. Then I’d buy lots of bombs and stuff, use those, then repeat the process.
Sigh. Good times…

But I get that sone areas are incredibly car centric and leave you little choice.
It felt weirder to me a few years ago. But over time a just vaguely identifiable character for 2010 to 2019 has emerged when I think of that decade.
The programming socks will be the first sign.
I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.
It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.
I can kinda see it, though he’s not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.
