There’s punctuation in the article title. I don’t know why it was removed for this post, making it obnoxious to read.

Huh. TIL.

The fuck is a moggie?

A portable gaming PC? You mean… Like a Steam Deck? 😑

I also am wondering about that, along with trying to figure out which part of this is a taco. 🌮?

Yeah, they’re absurdly good at optimization. You wouldn’t think their games would have such tiny file sizes for what they contain.

For real. Their fusion Fast series consistently knocks it out of the park.

EA rarely makes good use of the devs it consumes and destroys, unfortunately. This isn’t even the first racing team that I was a fan of they’ve destroyed. Hell, it’s not even the first British racing team they’ve destroyed. They’re truly a plague on the industry.

While I definitely hope the people laid off all land on their feet, having a handful of people from a large team show up at another studio doesn’t really do anything for us. We’ll never get another DriveClub or OnRush or Dirt 5 because the magic that team made has been scattered to the winds.

In a perfect world, sure, but I only know of one time when most of a team stayed together after being laid off and that was when Sony shut down Evolution Studios and around 80% of them were picked up by Codemasters. It’s not likely to happen again and the Nacon has multiple fully staffed racing teams, including the one that made the WRC games before EA bought Codemasters and destroyed them.

Why is the pretzel upside down in #2? You don’t wear pants on your head.

Absolutely psychotic behavior. I hope you get the help you need and your husband doesn’t suffer at your hands for whatever other mentally ill beliefs you may have. I don’t even have kids, but Jesus fucking Christ.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Word is, those recent EA layoffs hit a lot of the Codemasters people, including the teams working on their rally games. They mostly kept the F1 team because that series inexplicably sells tons every release (never been an F1 fan myself, but there does seem to be an appetite for those games). Anyone not on the F1 team was moved to another internal EA team whose name escapes me at the moment and they’re working as a support team for others.

I’ve never understood xtian and xmas. Jeebus supposedly got nailed to what they call a cross, but was really a lowercase t. The abbreviations that would make sense to me would be tian and tmas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty sure that’s the exact premise of a Black Mirror episode.

Don’t worry, they’ve got a cream for that now.

FloridaMan is like the Slayer. When one dies, another is called.

I don’t think they should have teased him. If I’m upset and someone teases me, that just makes me more upset!

“I believe in you. You can come up with a better argument than just theft.”

Nah, fuck that shit. It OOP feels so strongly that it’s not theft and they wanna change how the population at large is referring to something, then it’s on them to provide an alternative and convince others. This weird ass attempt to shame people into doing things their way, especially when they haven’t really defined what they consider their way, is absolute horse shit.

This whole post is full of this. The OOP tries to completely remove intent and method from the analysis of whether something is art theft. Those things absolutely factor into it and they’re only discounting them in order to push their weird narrative.

AI scrapping tons of work belonging to artists and then regurgitating that as original work is fucking gross, no matter what you call it. Theft seems fine to me, but I am open to calling it something else. Unfortunately OOP won’t be the I’ve to convince me since they neither provide reasoning for why calling it theft is bad or what we should call it instead and why.

I’ve had a OnePlus phone during that time and they had the same option.
