Yeah and you get to that point when fans rally around a beloved game renewed by mods over literally decades. If your game is dogshit from the start, that just doesn’t happen. It literally happened with Starfield as some of the most well known Bethesda game modders abandoned the game entirely.

Lmao it’s like comical how when presented with a crossroads of how to get back to printing money, EA has chosen the one path least likely to help them make any money.

I hate to be the dream-squasher here but the technology will quite literally never get there. You’re thinking along the same lines as Back to the future where 2015 is filled with flying cars and sky-highways.

Look at cyberpunk, marketers told poeple that it was going to be basically a real life simulator and then people were upset that it was only a really fun RPG

We can’t put all the blame on marketers. It is still to this day a wonky, janky, buggy and substandard RPG. There was no level of softening that would make Cyberpunk palatable enough to be entirely free of negative sentiment.

Every single one of Bethesda’s fan favorite games are great games without mods.

Mods are little more than the whipped cream on top of what needs to be an already enticing sundae. Starfield was a perfect example of the fact that mods won’t save a game on their own, and that the days of the level of modability old Bethesda games had are now gone.

Why would I take onboard what you’ve said, which has still to this point not been relevant in any way whatsoever. I’m not a party to the argument inside your head lol. In order for me to make any more points, you’d have to actually engage with the ones I’ve already made, not the ones you’ve made yourself inside your own noodle.

…but you won’t. It wouldn’t be very European of you to engage directly with reality.

People who aren’t seething don’t feel the need to make up fake arguments in their head because they have no defense that actually applies to the situation they’re commenting on.

What’s next for you, bring school shootings into it? Thats the usually play at this point right? Europeans will talk about anything but what’s relevant.

If the French were half as dedicated to their work as you are to shadow boxing with your own reflection, maybe productivity wouldn’t be next to dead last lol.

You’re a lost cause pal. If you have to invent some separate imaginary argument entirely unrelated to mine just to respond, you really must be out of your element. Classic seething european playbook lol. Have no valid response? Just hit em with some “whatabouts” with zero relevance lol.

I think you’ve lost the entire thread. You’re miles away from the point of conversation. Whatever argument it is you’re trying to make is entirely irrelevant to anything I’ve said up to this point. Clearly people who have shit jobs have zero relevance to what’s being discussed. Neither does any mandated benefit to US workers or lack thereof. At this point I honestly can’t tell if you’re ESL or just illiterate.

I’m not sure how exactly how that’s relevant to me or what I’ve said in any way. I have no clue what point it is you’re trying to make or to who.

Yes it’s all anecdotal, given that it’s an anecdote. That naturally follows does it not? And no, it’s not including any substandard jobs that you need two of to scrape by. It counts very good jobs that are similar in scope and with at least adequate benefits across multiple countries within the same company.

How are you going to tell me how good of a work life balance I have or don’t have at my company that I work for and you don’t? Pretty sure I have all the facts in this case lmao

There’s no federal requirement, yet I still get 3 weeks vacation time, 5 personal days,a week of sick time, and an abundance of WFH. Somehow we manage a good work life balance and still beat out the French in productivity. We’re not even superstar corporate drones. Our office is mostly Gen Z at this point who have no qualms with actually utilizing our time off like some of the older generations.

No there’s more to it than that. We have 3 weeks of vacation here in the U.S. and don’t have any problems getting things done.

It’s not just the vacation. Culturally the French are just slow movers at getting anything done. In a multinational company it seems like France is always playing catch up. Thats isn’t to say France is slowest either. Germany has always been the at very bottom levels of productivity.

My experience with French companies is that they never even work. The French take so much vacation time off you can hardly get anything done. They are regularly out worked by just about every other country on the face of the Earth.

It’s weird, it’s like he’s relying on the fact that “Everyone wants to work at Amazon” to always be there for them. Even though the very reason people wanted to work at Amazon were all the perks that no longer exist.

Rampant over hiring.

Perhaps the latter? My first thought is still that the pagers intended use was for triggering explosives, and they were simply triggered early by the other side.

Probably not. It was almost certainly the case that these pagers were already connected to explosives, probably to be IEDs. All Israel would have had to do is page the pagers to detonate them. I can’t think of any other logical explanation.
