Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty of fraud

Reply in thread

I tried buying something using crypto on Coin base back in the day. Signed up, transferred $100 into Eth, had to wait two or three days for Coinbase to do their due diligence or whatever, and then it was down 50% by the time I could use it. (I think China banned crypto or something?) I just pulled out my credit card and bought the item directly, and never touched crypto again

Roblox tells employees they have to come to office three days a week or take severance package

Gaming these days, at least multiplayer or those "games as a service" games, just seems so shitty. With all of the "gacha" aspects of lootboxes, or battle passes where you have to pay to play the game, or just plain predatory psychology manipulation to get you to buy random stuff... Games nowadays feel like you're basically working a second job, or you can pay money so that you don't have to work the second job because it's not fun.

Overwatch 2 is the worst game on Steam, according to user reviews | "The people who make Overwatch porn work harder than the people who make Overwatch"

I wish I did this... Diablo 4 has been such a disappointment. The story was pretty mid and the gameplay loop post MSQ is just not as fun as D3. Also, I played 5 hours this season and I was still only like level 20 or something, because of all the stuff I had to do again with waypoints, side quests for renown, and season journey in order to progress the seasonal quest. I just stopped. Kinda regretting getting the ultimate edition now

Bosses mean it this time: Return to the office or get a new job! — As office occupancy rates stagnate, employers are giving up on perks and turning to threats

If they pay me more to go back into office, then I'll take the trade if the money is high enough. Everything has a price, as they say. But it better be worth all the extra shit you have to deal with, least of all being the sick people at the office. I haven't gotten sick since COVID started basically

I will never forgive excel for automatically converting all of my dates to some weird ass format, or stripping single quotes randomly, or something other BS that they do for no reason
