  • I think a lot of the MK1 experience is good and well done. I think there’s a lot of style and gameplay that make it fun and mostly worth the cost of entry. The cameo system included, although poorly balanced, added another dimension to the gameplay.

    Where they lose me is the DLC. They asked a lot for the expansion and didn’t offer much. On top of that many of the added characters should’ve been there, or needed rebalancing after release.

    I’m still not convinced you should take an NRS fighter seriously, but I’m usually willing to see what they’ll put out.


  • Right?

    Let there be no mistake, it’s not about talent so much as it is about keeping wages low. Many tech companies do this explicitly, especially since interest rates rose and investing money stopped being free.

    Anecdotally, I was at a company and was instructed not to hire in the US. I could choose Montréal, a few countries in Europe, or Isreal.

    US was off limits, not enough budget.

    Lol uh I mean I don’t think the author* is giving the generally normal people just working their job enough credit. In my anecdotal experience, the growth mindset stuff is just an excuse to say certain things at meetings, or make certain decisions, nobody is extremely bought in or anything.

    In fact, I knew some folks that left Microsoft because of the growth mindset changes for more “old school” places like Boeing.

    Generally speaking I think all these companies have some kind of cultish exterior, I can say this about Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook for sure. If you’re ever let inside the walls though, it’s mostly regular people trying to live their lives.
