From insider leaks overuse of contractors was what put infinite in the mess it was in the beginning.. so they're just doubling down on using contractors instead of listening to the actual workers. It's a huge shame because right as 343 started to pick up steam with updates Microsoft started firing everyone.

Downgrading should be possible on steam via steam console commands. I noticed large collections on Nexus usually tell you to use some sort of downgrader program but I've always just used the steam console instead and been fine.

They wanted to hear how confident you were in your ability to solve problems with .NET. They didn’t want to hear “aCtUaLlY, nO oNe Is PeRfEcT.”

Yeah, I mean no shit, with hindsight it's obvious they were looking for the 10/10 answer. I was kicking myself for days afterwards because that's the only question I felt I answered "wrong". Tech interviews are such a shit show though that you can start to overthink things as an interviewee. Also, an important aspect of the question that I didn't mention was they specified "1 is completely new, and 10 is working at Microsoft on the .net framework itself". The question caught me off guard. I have literally no idea what working at Microsoft on the framework is like. In that context being a 10/10 felt like being among the most knowledgeable person of c# of all time. Could I work on the framework itself? Idk maybe, I've never thought about it, I don't even know what their day to day is. I should've just said 10/10 though, it was a dev II position to work on a web app, it wouldn't have been that hard.

This is my take on it. Moron evolved to be a more general term associated with anyone acting foolish. It evolved to the point that nobody really associates it as a word targeted directly at intellectualy disabled folks. The r-word was always more commonly understood as "the word you would say to a disabled person if you wanted to hurt them the most". Because of this people who use it weren't/aren't given the benefit of the doubt that they're just being hyperbolic and not actually a bigot directly to disabled people. Why did one evolve to be more hurtful than the other? I'm not sure. There's probably a parallel universe out there where the reverse scenario exists.

Edit: nvm, disregard. just realized this post is 10d old and people already articulated what I intended much better than me.

They're selling a single quest as dlc? I mean if you going to do dlc then at least make a full expansion.

Have you tried photopea? It doesn't have everything Photoshop has but it's been able to fit my needs

I played with a person for months in overwatch before I heard their voice. It was because she enjoyed playing with my friends and I and was afraid that we would get all weird when we learned her gender. Thankfully my friends and I aren't dickheads so it all worked out. We continue to play games to this day even, just not overwatch because it sucks and fuck blizzard.

I can't imagine a ton of the people working there give a shit anymore when it seems like thousands of people are being layed off weekly while the company takes in billions in profit

I ended up renting a brand new f150 lariat since it was the cheapest option available at the time and honestly I kind of get it. The thing was comically huge but I felt like a king in there. Super spacious interior too, my 7 yo nephew was standing up without his head even hitting the ceiling. I would never buy one since they're ridiculously expensive and too unnecessary, but man if I didn't like driving it.

Not sure why you're getting down voted. This is exactly what happened at my last company during the RTO push, senior employees, including me, were leaving in droves and it got bad quickly. As a result the company upped their salaries and offered fully remote work instead of just hybrid to keep people around. The only way a company will listen is if you hit them in their wallets.

 

Pretty cool collab between Alpha Tauri and Gundam.
