  • 'Devs are getting ground up as collateral damage': Fallout: New Vegas lead says burnout has replaced crunch as 'the primary hazard of the game industry'

    Jump

  • As a fellow Unity employee, I feel that right down to my bones. If the job market for software devs didn't suck so hard, I would have left a while ago. Compartmentalization is the only coping mechanism I have to keep myself going.

  • That little baby needs kisses on the head and rubs on the belly.

  • It's embarrassing and kind of pathetic that most people from the U.S. can only speak one language. The U.S. education system sucks and foreign language learning should be mandatory for everyone.

    Jump

  • As an American, I'd agree to a certain point. It is sad that foreign language skills are not terribly well emphasized in the US, but finding instruction in languages you might want to learn can be challenging depending on the language, unless it's something common such as Spanish, French, or German. I work on my language skills using online resources as much as I can, but I'm also an adult with a full time job, so finding time is also a challenge. Also, unless you're surrounded by people actively speaking the language, it can be exceptionally difficult to build those skills and hang on to them for very long. I know a little Danish, a little Russian, a little Finnish, a little Greek, a little Japanese, a little Mandarin, but lacking the ability to immerse myself in environments where those languages are spoken, I'll likely never get good enough to speak any of them anywhere close to fluently aside from knowing a few phrases at best.

    And to your point about how language learning should be mandatory, it's a nice idea, but when I went through school, it was mandatory to take at least one language course. I took French in high school. I didn't enjoy it and don't remember a damn bit of it. Most of the kids I knew took Spanish. Nearly all of them also didn't retain any of it. So, it's more than just making instruction mandatory, schools need to get kids genuinely interested, otherwise none of it will stick.

  • Yeah, though it's kinda wild how incredible Killer Instinct 2013 is by comparison.

    I don't get the distinction between sex and gender. Your sex is determined by your chromosomes and the rest is whatever.

  • As mentioned by others, he "retired" a few months ago, but he's not the only one at fault. Many of the other executives contributed to the terrible decision making that landed the company in its current situation and they need to be cut loose as well.

  • A Demographic Time Bomb Is About to Hit the Beef Industry

    Jump

  • Millennial here and I've had a similar experience. I ate a ton of red meat growing up, but once I got to my early-to-mid 30s, I noticed beef would give me a lot of stomach issues. I switched to eating chicken and sometimes (depending on the dish) substituting the meat entirely for black beans and found my stomach issues got a lot better. And it's still just as tasty to me, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
