It would be a lot less slow if the news would talk about the Democrat Party imploding over the continuing resolution, or Biden not actually issuing pardons and his staffers doing it (rather than sperging about a fucking autopen), but such is life.
Or if they ever mention anything Trump did that can't be spun as a bad thing.

Honestly the more they refuse to report on actual news the more people will tune out. No wonder why they needed USAID to stay solvent
 
Oh dear God that wasn't a joke...

I wonder how many Indians they can hire for the same price as a single US citizen? Because from what I'm seeing argued, AAA titles are so big and complex they have to spend insane amounts of money to make them, and that's why games are $70 now.

But then I see this credit scroll and think "with all those Indians they probably saved lots of money, why should the price go up if they are outsourcing to bring costs down?"

It's all retarded arguments to justify greed.
 
Government transparency (releasing the Epstein files unredacted)
Disentangling from foreign influence and political ties that are problematic - 'America First' (refusing to continue Israel-first policies/rhetoric)
Helping the American worker (ending H-1B and other associated programs)
Bringing down inflation (committing to government shutdowns and not signing spending bills)
Anti-DEI (averting working with Larry Fink, CEO of DEI, and others like him)

I'm increasingly weary of this shit not being addressed. The shit that actually matters.
It’s already being addressed behind the scenes, the media isn’t reposting on it because A: they want to demoralize the opposition, and B: they’re way too distracted focusing on other bullshit as we have seen which is the whole point.

And I'm increasingly weary also of the parallels between lefty worship of their false idols and the worship of Trump against his failings, by the 'conservative' right.

I just pray every single one of the 20+ million who gave Trump a chance to avoid Harris - or more accurately what she represented - are also seeing through this stupid bullshit.
That’s literally just a left-wing media talking point to try and turn people off. There’s the worship or false idols and it’s a shame you fell for that narrative.
If this post makes you angry it's because it made you hit one of your
and I refuse to apologize for it.
Sounds like someone’s projecting their anger.

Game prices haven't kept up with inflation. Wait until you find out how much gas and milk have gone up since 2005.

A really rough estimate based on minimum wage is that the Indians can be 30% the cost of an American employee, however you'd need at least three to five Indian employees to do the same work plus one American one to look over it and check mistakes. It's basically a matter of CEOs being penny pinchers who are too stupid to actually do the math and realize it would be cheaper to just hire one skilled American.
 
Judge Boasberg has set a hearing for 14:30 today (Friday) as he felt the responses to his questions by the DoJ were "insufficient". He is demanding a "cabinet level member with full knowledge of the facts" report to the hearing to answer his questions.

He has said he will use the "FULL array of legal powers vested in his position to enforce adherence. Upto and not limited to filing contempt charges against Trump if his requests are not fullfilled"

Do it faggot, try to charge Trump with contempt for not obeying your ridiculous request. good luck finding a bailiff or sheriff to enforce those warrants. I think were about to have a Andrew Jackson moment here as this Democrat judge fully believes he has the power to put Trump in prison for not obeying his orders.

Fun times ahead!

"Addressed behind the scenes".

Non-sequitur.

I voted 'for' the man thrice. Throwing this accusation at me really only reifies my point. It's not 'falling for a narrative' to notice that you and your ilk will continue to ignore these problems because you worship an adulterer.

"I'm rubber, you're glue!". Laughable given you keep, in your ass-maddery, giving me tophats like it means anything. Lmao.

Like I said (and as expected of you because of this):
illogical, overly-emotional, overly-sentimental sheep for whom independent, truly independent, thought is an unattainable goal
The best you have is 'trust the plan bro!'.

And its source is your incapacity to accept truth. I'll bring this up in three months and we'll see how he's progressed. I wonder if you'll still be willing in that time to proffer the excuse that things are being handled in some mysterious hidden way that runs counter to all observable evidence, to protect yourself from the cognitive dissonance that erupts when anyone who voted against Clinton, then Biden, then Harris rather than for Trump, begins to point out the current failings of his administration.

My first thought was with this many cooks in the kitchen the code must have insane amounts of spaghetti. How do you coordinate a literal army of Indian programmers?

I never said that you were a leftie, that’s a non-sequitur right there. I know for certain that one of the tactics being used by leftists is to claim that we worship Trump somehow even though nobody does. It’s a projection to try and cover up their own loyalty to the democrat party.
Non-sequitur
Nothing I said there was a non-sequitur.

“Mysterious hidden way” They’re pretty blatant about their meddling against Trump so I don’t know why you had the need to babble on and on about that.

Yes it's a non-sequitur to state a baseless assertion and act as if it rebukes a conclusion derived from what is readily observable.

Who is the 'their' in this sentence?

Another non-sequitur. I clearly meant your bullshit assertion about my points being 'addressed behind the scenes'. That in some 'mysterious and hidden way' Trump's totally taking care of these points, bro:

Government transparency (releasing the Epstein files unredacted)
Disentangling from foreign influence and political ties that are problematic - 'America First' (refusing to continue Israel-first policies/rhetoric)
Helping the American worker (ending H-1B and other associated programs)
Bringing down inflation (committing to government shutdowns and not signing spending bills)
Anti-DEI (averting working with Larry Fink, CEO of DEI, and others like him)


Again, I'll wait a few months then come back here and bring up the very same list I made in the post you're feebly attempting to address in a cogent manner. I wonder what inane and irrational tripe you'll have to trot out then, drone?

To be fair there are now so many repositories of pre built code for every function imaginable out there that a significant part of low level software development is copy pasting pre built code from Github, reconciling errors, and then compiling.

It doesn't take a genius, if you've ever installed a nude mod for Skyrim or whatever you can do that shit too.

This is true, and AAA games have (generally) expanded in scope but I'm torn on what the major increase in labor is actually about. Is it because AAA titles are now openish world games where you walk around between dozens of different minigames someone has to program? Or is it because ballooning visual fidelity means some poor bastard is painting endless 4k textures down to minute detail and that just takes a lot longer?

It sure as hell isn't because they actually fix bugs in their engines - if a glitch isn't game breaking, it's probably staying right where it is, even when they re-release the 8k remaster in 10 years.
 
“After this, we don’t know what we’ll do,” said 29-year-old Hayatullah Omagh, who fled Afghanistan in 2022 after the Taliban takeover.
So what she's saying is Biden fucked her and generated a refugee crisis with the retarded Afghanistan withdrawal. That sucks, but par for Biden.

Edit: sorry for the double post
