I'm a trans woman and don't bother applying because I know that my resume isn't even looked at, and the interview hurdles are just so high that they'll just say no anyway. What's the point if companies refuse to hire me?

Tech is overcrowded as a field and it gets worse each year. So yes.

So they identified as men, and the event allowed the men to come? Then I'm failing to see what the issue is?

>Promotes self id for nonbinary

>Event is for nonbinary people

>Get upset when people identify as nonbinary and attend the event

I'm not sure I'm seeing why people are upset?

They should just get rid of the expectations of sales numbers like what current AAA get. If we want better games, less people will buy them, because a good game isn't for everyone.

this would be nice. the amount of skills and knowledge I've forgotten after painstakingly learning it is too damn high.

I buy games that release for $40 and $50. They don't have dlc. They don't have microtransactions. They don't have cash shops. They don't have battle passes. I just pay my $40/$50, get my physical copy, often with a bundled goodie like cards or keychains, and play and enjoy my 40hr game.

It's absolutely possible because the companies that release these titles are pumping out several per year. You just.... have to stop spec racing and obsessing over 200hr playtimes and top of the line graphics and actually focus on making a decent, mid-sized game, with realistic expectations.

I pretty much exclusively buy AA at this point, with the rare AAA nintendo 1st party title that I'm happy to pay $60 for. Most AAA games though just aren't worth it. Some of those games coming out you couldn't pay me to play.

They're right that retail prices of AAA games are too low to make a profit. Which is why they've turned to microtransactions and dlc. However, the price of such games is too high, which means the budgets and profit expectations are too high. With the quality of games coming out lately, even $60 is too high. I can't imagine spending $70 or even $80 on a game.

playstation started declining with ps3 which released in 2006. PS4 released in 2013, a decade ago. PS4 wasn't worth buying. That's a decade of garbage from sony.

God, finally. Maybe playstation will get better now? They've been declining in quality for literally ages.

Docked my grades for literally no reason other than that he didn't like me. I always got perfect scores in school, got a B in his class simply because he didn't like me. Parents had to make a huge fuss about it which lead to the grade being corrected.
