Good that they’re still trying. Maybe they’ll get there eventually.

Sure, and the Spectrum ZX I used to use 35 years ago had even less. The GameCube is ancient history, it’s not the benchmark for a reasonable amount of memory for anyone.

Edit: apologies, I forgot we were talking specifically about a GameCube game.

Hey, let’s not resort to name calling.

The irony of not wanting to “waste time” when you’re about to play a video game, too.

Don’t like it? Write your own equivalent and selfhost it using my favorite distro. /s

People in this thread don’t want to waste 2 seconds per use of a video game on a logo screen, but will happily waste the day discussing it.

Not only is it just 2 seconds, but it’s 2 seconds while the game is no doubt being loaded into memory while it plays anyway.

This is like whining about the Pixar animation that plays before all of their movies (for much longer than 2 seconds).

This Grav?

The comparison is to the original PD, not to more recent games.

They’re not exactly building the same game, surely.

I’d imagine there’s online multiplayer to add for a start.

Conscience?

Yeah, Let Me Google That For You.

Oh, well yeah, of course. I can’t see my Xbox Achievements on PlayStation, etc.

You can’t see your achievements for a Steam game in the overlay? I rarely ever use it, but that seems like something that must be there. Are we talking about the Shift+Tab overlay, or something else?

Here’s a video of it. I couldn’t see anything on the linked website.

I moved all of my domains to Porkbun when Google Domains started to close down or become SquareSpace or whatever they were doing.

No complaints so far.

That’s a quadruple paaaass from me, dawg.

Sounds like there’s plenty of bad shit going on there.

I have to say, it’s a tough sell to expect companies to pay above market rate for people in a cheaper location. We can’t all be earning Bay Area salaries and living in Spain, that’s just not worth it, honestly.

If you had to pay $200k in California or $80k in England for the same work, all remote, you wouldn’t throw away twice as much money.

The fake promo thing sounds like an Amazon stunt, from my experience there. You have to work at a certain level for a year before you (hopefully) get promoted to that level officially. It’s a great way of avoiding the Peter Principle for employers, with the added shitty bonus of saving you money.

All in all it sounds like a shitty situation with some “normal” stuff thrown in that we all wish wasn’t so normal.

Edit: non-compete clauses are unenforceable in lots of places. Seems like they are enforceable in the UK, however.

Edit 2: a move to management is a lateral move at Amazon, too. Probably true of a lot of places. I don’t like it, but it’s not that unusual.
