All you need to do is print it, forge the signatures and input it in the national registry. Should be doable.

I'm not even 30 and feel the same.

Similarly, you using any Android phone with any Android ROM benefits Google indirectly, because it advertises their OS. And because it may support the development of AOSP, which of course is beneficial for Google.

Or you accessing any website that uses any google services for anything benefits Google indirectly, because it's traffic for them, even if no valuable data is gathered.

Virtually anything you do is likely to benefit mega corporations like Google. It's almost impossible to live a reasonably good life without benefitting them. It's about finding a balance and cutting their benefits to the point where they're unsustainable long-term.

So they just built a lof of universities and accepted women free of charge. So generous! We should follow their example.

Are you sure it won't apply? As far as I understand, it'll apply to all devices with Google services installed. Which includes most ROMs, as well as non-Google ROMs after you manually install gapps. Is my understanding off?

There have been at least 2 more CEO killings recently. But mainstream media is deliberately not reporting on it, because it'd likely lead to even more. Don't forget everything is owned and managed by the same groups of people.

Its becoming a pretty common take these days that capitalism is fine IF human and environmental needs are met first.

That's not 'capitalism'. Those issues are handled exclusively by socialist policies. At no point does a capitalist economy worry about human or environmental needs. There is no place for them in the formula for profit. Even the countries balanced the closest to the middle between capitalism and socialism only invest into the environment when it's profitable, or otherwise beneficial for the state (e.g., one of the biggest advantages of renewable energy being independence, and not environmental impact). And the main reason for that is so many people are aware of the ongoing climate catastrophe that governments can no longer easily ignore them.

In my opinion, it's perfectly reasonable to say that some capitalist policies make sense, or to say that some socialist policies don't work well. But this is the first time I encounter someone saying capitalism is fine if social needs are satisfied first. So basically, capitalism is fine if it coexists with socialism? I can agree, but that's definitely not capitalism anymore. That's the same thing as a mix of capitalism ans socialism suggested by other people here.

Capitalism is the best marketing socialism has ever had.

Sounds like something a Russian bot would say.

Women and men are both 'expected' to do a lot of various things. I think the main issue is that the average man doesn't care, while the average woman does care and adheres to the expectations.

I see this happen so often with women. They keep following some stupid, made up rules, and then complain about it afterwards. Whereas men will just ignore them. Of course, there are many women who don't have this problem, and many men who do.

It should be noted that affected people are not at fault here. Nobody chooses what personality they are born with. In many cases this is actually a positive trait. So perhaps the core issue is society abusing this characteristic.

A good number of that is 3D artists. Try making a highly detailed 3D model in Blender. Now imagine a game like GTA V has thousands of those, but even more detailed. This is one of the major reasons why AAA are taking longer and longer to produce. At the same time, game systems and mechanics are simplified to cut costs.

I've worked in the video game industry for a couple years and have been credited in several games. This number may actually be higher.

It may sound crazy, but there's a lot of people working on AAA games, usually most of them completely unrelated to game dev. Marketing, public relations, translators, 3D graphics artists, sound designers, orchestra performers, motion capture stuntmen, voice actors. Probably a few dozen managers, who have never even seen the game. Hell, some companies even credit IT staff in the game's credits.

That's already a whole bunch of teams. It's also important to mention that many third-party contractors will often be skipped from the credits. QA is very commonly outsourced (to poorer countries like Romania or Serbia) and rarely gets into the credits. You may only see 5-10 names, while in reality it was at least 100. This is true for several other fields, though mostly non-game-related, e.g., localization, promotial material, merchandise.

I won't disclose in what capacity, but in the past I have worked on several of Blizzard's titles for a few months and I'm not credited anywhere. Just like at least a couple hundred other people. Not necessarily saying I should be - it was never mentioned or promised. Just highlighting that the real number of staff that worked on the game (or adjacent to the game) may be above 10k.
