Fat, purple-haired butch lesbian with insane vocal fry is playing Diablo 4 co-op alongside clueless younger colleague. Highlights include:
-
spamming basic attacks almost the whole time while resource bar is full
-
dying on the easiest difficulty level
-
talking about how both women are products of university game design mills
-
they are both dungeon designers (dungeons are possibly the worst designed aspect of the entire game)
It’s a complete dumpster fire of a video. Tons of people are taking it as total confirmation that diversity hiring practices are what ruined Diablo 4. There are a few detractors in the comments, but they are mostly getting roasted.
Huge mistake by Blizzard. The interviews with various diversity hire devs were bad enough, but there was some plausible deniability there. This is two clear diversity hires, with rubber-stamped credentials, struggling to competently play their own video game. They’re showing off the terrible dungeon design while boasting that their sole contribution to the game was dungeon design. It’s like every anti-woke turbo hitler’s dream come true.
I worked this out within 1 minute of the video and scanning comments, this is a classic case of, everybody else was doing the real work, so they got the diversity hires to do the video and it backfired. Nobody can convince me different and this is precisely why I have stayed well away from big studios or any organisation/group that remotely looks like this.
I know at the end of the day because I'm the one with the programming knowledge they're going to be taking credit for my work. It's not just the fact that they're clearly useless diversity hires, they're credit thieves on top of it. The janitor or QA testers are getting more done for the company than leftists ever will.
And omfg one of them tried to make it out that she made a scenario and then the other one joked "I had help" holy shit that's bad lol.
Janitors remove trash. HR hires trash.
I believe there is a decent chance that some real developers on the team are fed up with taking the blame for these incompetent morons and just set them up with this video.
Can't imagine how shit it must feel to do your work diligently and then see these trashbags get the same money just because they tick some made up HR boxes.
