After two weekends and a faulty mother board, my wife’s new computer has been built. And to celebrate we played Apex Legends and got fucking worked over and over.

And now I get to wait over a week to hear back about the job I interviewed for.

@fari how did your job interview go?

same to everyone else that had one in the recent weeks

I think it went alright? Hard to say though. I completely forgot that I took a course in a semi-related subject so hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me. I was told to prepare a solution to one of six problems and said that I just did what I did because I knew the skillset and could wikipedia all the technical terms.

They were surprisingly okay with that. I hear back in a few weeks/a month so I'll keep y'all posted.

On the topic of video games, Jimquisition made a great video on how video game publishers (and corporate capitalism in general) are fucking retarded:

I'm so glad the narrative is moving away from blaming development teams and realizing many of our favorite series were ruined by management trying to please stock holders.

The pending Blizzard layoffs are a real kick in the teeth. They keep making good games that sell forever. But they don't make them fast enough to please stock holders, so clearly a whole lot of people needs to be let go.

Which is interesting since the output will expect to be the same without them. Do we know exactly what types of people (by profession) are being let go? I didn't dig too thoroughly but some "hundreds" of people were to be dismissed this Tuesday iirc.

I'm pretty sure Macbook chargers have a planned obsolency of one year, because I've breezed through three chargers already when the cord starts to fray every year. Super annoying because they aren't cheap. Maybe I'm just really bad at maintaining them well, but I don't think it's that.

Management are most likely shareholders and sometimes (i dont know about blizzard) the CEO gets a bonus when the stock hits a target price.

Just saying it is mess up to hand out 15 million dollar bonuses and then lay a whole bunch of people off.

Free? Yes. It is worth the free dollars you pay for it.

Its is worth your time. Its fun, easy to play and moves at a good clip. It has some balance problems with some guns, but those can be ironed out.

Fucking A, man.
Same goes for the Ubisoft launcher, whatever it's called. I remember buying Call of Juarez with some friends during some Steam sale. It looked fun and apparently it had a coop mode, so we can play something together again.
After installing the game, it wanted to install the Ubisoft launcher, that's where we shut it down and asked steam for a refund because "I dont want to install another launcher". It worked.

Uplay? Yeah, I get annoyed at yet more buttons to press to play my games. Also remembering 9 passwords for shit sucks.

I already have origin so no issue for me. Probably won't play apex anyway cause I despise the battle royale formula.

I’ve never had a problem with more than one store. And I would rather have more than one than be owned by Steam.
