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.
To be fair, most people are bad at their jobs. In tech, 10% of people tend to do all the work, and everybody else is just bopping around or a manager. Diversity hiring just made an existing problem worse.
Elon was able to fire like 80% of Twitter with no loss in performance. Tells you something. If a company is financially successful, eventually it becomes a feudal nation with courtiers. The girls in this video strike me as courtiers.
Fucking LOL.
Thankfully they’re getting rid of that at a lot of places due to the recession. Along with the workers. It all started because there was a cap on tech worker salaries behind the scenes, so they tried competing on other levels. Then they all lost their damn minds. It kept ballooning because in some place here in the Bay it’s pretty pricey to eat and live, so it let them offer workers less money be providing some of that and not having to give the money to the government.
Turned a lot of them into entitled baby people that are now unemployable. I hear people complain about the lack of benefits or perks now, then you hear about it and it’s the kind of benefits and perks people normally get, sans the amusement park ride at the office and ghost viewing chambers and in-house steakhouse. It’s hard to take them seriously when that’s what they’re used to work being like, and when their job is to simply exist.
Wasn’t it proven that Twitter before the Elon Musk takeover had more than half of its staff as management?
Don’t recall but that’d be hilarious if true. That’s more than one manager per person. Everyone has 1.5-2 managers exclusively for them. Or matrix management where everybody manages everybody else.
