CD Projekt announced on October 5 that the expansion starring Idris Elba cost a hefty 275 million Polish Zloty (around $62.7 million) to develop and approximately 95 million Polish Zloty (around $21.6 million) to market.

I'm not saying repairing and adding missing functionality isn't a good size portion of that cost, but calling it a $125 million cost based on the cost of the expansion and marketing which were already planned regardless of how well the initial release did is miss-leading at best.

“Consistent starting pay results in consistent staffing and better customer service while also creating new opportunities for associates to gain new skills from experience across the store and lay the groundwork for their career regardless of where they start,”

Ok miss PR person. Please explain your rationale cause that shit makes no sense.

I reeeaaally wish people would stop drawing a direct line between eating vegan and eating healthy.

Just cause I don’t want to eat animals that doesn’t mean I don’t want to stuff my face with good food.

Most restaurants just throw a salad at you or something.

When I worked in Belgium not only did they pay for your transit costs, they even paid for your car, phone, and lunch. Granted the car and phone were contingent on you having a use for them for your work, but still.

This was nearly 20 years ago.

I chose not to sign up on lemmy.ml as it didn’t seem that they were looking to become “big”, and seems more focused on a specific niche. How come they are so popular despite those points?

ITT: People complaining about an automated email that gets send to a huge largely uncurated mailing list. This is so very obviously not an email someone at reddit personally addressed to Andrew Tate, let alone personally selected him to be added to the mailing list.

Seriously, people, there's plenty to complain about without making up new stuff.

In my experience the Belgian roads are much worse, but my experience is hardly definitive..

Makes me think that they want to profit off of AI training but can't meaningfully differentiate between API use for AI and API use for third party apps. Solvable problem of course, but you gotta do the work.

I'm looking to upgrade my iPhone 11 for no reason other than the battery life is starting to bug me. None of the features released since the 11 hold any interest for me, I literally just want more battery life. Looks like that'll cost me about $1000 if I want to stay with iOS. Absolutely insane.

I was researching the other day when we might expect the housing market to recover to the point where people can actually afford a house again.

Instead, what I found was lots of articles proclaiming that the housing market will "recover" by 2024. By "recover" they meant that the downward trend in $$$ is going up again. Meaning house prices going up.

It really blew my mind that there is so little concern for affordability and it's all about the investments.. So sad. Seriously considering leaving Canada at some point in the future in order to buy a house, which is nuts.

How is hearing the same thing from the most gated person on Reddit meant to do anything but further aggregate users?

Free lemmy marketing I guess.

This is what I’ve been thinking too cause why else would be think this ama is a good idea? He’s living in a fantasy.

Always great to have more options! But this seems very similar to Mlem in terms of goals (Apollo like). Why not combine efforts?

I think your original question stands. Self-hosting != federation.

Nowadays, when I see news about some new law that's gonna ruin the web I just have a sad chuckle. That ship has sailed. And they didn't even need shitty laws to do it.

I feel like the printing is the least insane part about that whole situation; the CEO wants to review code?! That's a new level of micro-management..

Why not then post the personalized emails? This particular email just doesn't look incriminating to me. Sure it is POSSIBLE that someone at Reddit specifically added him to the email list, but that's hardly the most likely explanation.

No new map, no new hero, no real meaningful change. Just skins and questwatch, which is literally just you unlocking audio clips and.. not much else.

Oh and the three new "gamemodes" is just an arcade mode with 3 ways to queue up.

What a joke.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is getting worse. It's not "real" intelligence that "understands" your questions, and unlike more targeted solutions like GitHub copilot they don't have a strong use-case focus that can guide their progress.

But I think it's also that people are coming to terms with what ChatGPT actually can and more importantly cannot do. It's crazy sometimes to hear what the average person thinks the current iteration of AI's is capable of.

To be fair people who pay thousands are probably perfectly fine with Starfield, although they may have to be satisfied with 120fps instead of 240fps.

The ones mainly hurting are the ones with similar budgets as console gamers. And console gamers are hardly unfamiliar with performance issues.

Being a pc gamer has much more to do with what ecosystem you get to tap into, rather than how much you’re spending.
