Lol tell me you don't know about making games without saying you don't know about making games.

Trump didn't put me into dispair, America did.

Is this missing the /s?

This is proof that the justice system is completely borked.

Tencent collaborated with Snoop Dogg for Fortnite, officially adding the 'C-Walk' as a dance, a notorious gang sign for the Crips. in c/games@lemmy.world

I see OP in their comment history uses "tyres" so they're probably not from the US.

C-Walking has been a prominent fad in the US, more so in the early 2000s than recently, but most people are familiar with it.

I don't understand the context of this post, but there's not much here of note if you grew up in the US and made it past late teenager.

At this point, Snoop is inevitable.

This is one weird way to advertise a swinger's party.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Clumsy, Preachy Political Messaging Does More Harm Than Good in c/games@sh.itjust.works

That's what I'm trying to say. I don't think such a game is feasible.

Also, in the context of this threat, saying "ooo Tetris isn't political!" is being pedantic, that's not what the person meant when they asked for an example of a non political game.

I'm not saying I know anything about this Dragon Age, I haven't played it.

I think it's a fair point though, to imagine an a-political narrative game, because I think most if not all RPG games I can think of have some kind of political content.

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.
