Does Starfield’s narrative cast Space Britain as the evil empire and climax with you hunting down and killing King Charles, who has been kept alive as a Futurama-like head in a jar?

I’ve only got a couple hours in but if doesn’t I’m disappointed! Keep my space tea tax free!

Trent Reznor of NiN is on the soundtrack. Looking forward to it!

Fun fact I found on the Wikipedia rabbit hole: David Fincher was credited as a camera man on Return of the Jedi, and as a photographer on Temple of Doom.

When no one else had the courage to put a dildo sword in a game Volition stepped up. Oh how giants fall.

5120 x 1440 not being supported without a hex edit is mildly infuriating given Bethesda showed it running on a Samsung g9 at GamesCom at that resolution and aspect ratio.

For people looking for some further reading on this subject, there is a well known wikipedia user’s article about this with some history of this problem of unchecked spending:

I was thinking along a similar line, this is probably the safest it has been for her to talk about it publicly. Remember when LTT lost the auction for NCIX’s Youtube play button and his fanbase drove the ‘MindChop’ kid that won it into a deep depression and eventually suicide? I’m sure she remembers and knows the fanbases’ opinions on women in general.

edit: sorry about the tone mismatch but it was kinda funny

you can read the whole twitter/x thread here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

but TLDR is:

• Over work
• Mentally draining/abusive workplace
• harassment
• (maybe intentionally) bad management practices
• lack of any signs of improvement

Here’s a link for an overview of the whole GamersNexus v LTT thing so far: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/gamers-nexus-vs-linus-tech-tips-billet-labs-review-controversy

This is LTT’s response, basically saying: we’ll do better with our labs data / corrections, we’ll fix our relationship w/ Billet Labs, and we’ll take a couple days off from uploads to get our house in order

problem is, one of their ex employee’ Madison posted some serious allegations on LTT’s work environment 2-3 hours before they uploaded and they haven’t addressed that at all.

Dang, I wasn’t aware of that, thanks. Seems like FOSS front ends are fighting a cat and mouse game, judging from my experience with piped and nitter.

I assume an Invidious link would also be subject to the same youtube side issues then?

Might be something wrong with the main Piped instance. (I am a Luddite so I’m just guessing)

Good news is that Piped is a federated service like lemmy, so in the future you can just look at their instance list and try another: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

here’s a backup link: https://piped.mha.fi/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY

They don’t address it in the video, and it does not mesh well with the video’s tone at all. I’m assuming its a horrendous oversight considering that Madison started tweeting around midnight Vancouver time, and this video went up on floatplane around 2-3 AM Vancouver time.

Maybe if they listened to techJesus and didn’t rush so much they could have avoid it.

All good. Their inclusion of the blurb kinda meshes with Nick throwing to the LTT store LMAO.

On 13/8 Gamers Nexus posted this video: https://piped.video/watch?v=FGW3TPytTjc called ‘The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility’

• talks about LTT’s rushed production schedule leading to an increase in quantity over quality, sponsor bias, and the Billet labs issues

Same day, 3 hours latter Linus posted this response on the LTT forums: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1526180-gamers-nexus-alleges-lmg-has-insufficient-ethics-and-integrity/page/16/#comment-16078641

• deflects and doubles down on the Billet thing

On 14/8 Gamers Nexus posted their HW news video with a response: https://piped.video/watch?v=X3byz3txpso

• rebuts some of Linus’s response and reemphasis Billet thing

Late on 14/8 or early 15/8 ex LTT employee Madison posted on Twitter/X about why she left: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

Then this video came out

FYI this video is monetized.

Piped linked to avoid Linus making money off his own apology video: https://piped.video/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY

EDIT: some people are having issues with the main piped instance. backup link here: https://piped.mha.fi/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY

piped is a federated services. you can use other instances which are listed here: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

You got an honest chuckle out of me.

Also, Pedro Pascal is a handsome man even with numbers on his face.
