While I appreciate a 60fps experience as much as the next gamer, this game targets 30fps on consoles. A 60 fps guarantee for Verified status is totally unrealistic.
I agree that there needs to be some sort of performance standards, but not everything has to run at 60 fps to give an absolutely fantastic experience. 30fps (as long as it's a solid 30 fps) can do that too.
Archive.is used to block people with Finnish IPs too, allegedly because of personal immigration issues.
I don't get the impression it's something anyone should ever rely on.
2033 is the year of Linux on the desktop.
Doesn't it take months of training (at least!) to become a phlebotomist? How can you screw up that badly on day one?
Maybe for a small number of companies in a small number of industries, but most companies rent their office premises, even large companies.
I've worked at several multinational companies that sold their HQ buildings when they recognised that building management was not a core competence for them and tying up capital in real estate has a significant opportunity cost for them.
It's no skin off their noses if commercial real estate plummets in value - if anything, it would be in their favour as their rent would decrease.
I can't say I know anything about the parking/car stuff as that sounds very US-specific, but I can second everything else.
Don't get complacent with the work, stay on top of it, and if you ever feel yourself falling behind, don't be scared to ask for help. Literally everyone wants to see you succeed, but the further you fall behind the harder it gets.
At the same time, allow yourself to have some fun too.
I watched his Hit and Run remake videos from the beginning, and it's not really about the end product - he made it clear from the beginning that that project was never going to be released.
Mostly, it seems to be about selling his "learn how to make Unreal games" courses and Unreal plugins.
The videos were fun in their own right, to be honest.
Absolutely.
"It's just my opinion" isn't a valid defence when you should have kept that opinion to yourself.
"Your baby is ugly" might even be true, but it's not something you actually say to people.
Ethics aren't a binary. Everything comes in shades of grey, and that means that each person gets to choose what the threshold for them is.
Competely rejecting that choice because neither option is absolutely good is the road to nihilism.
This won't do anything to cut any costs.
This is all about enshittifying the free experience to push those on the edge to finally bite the bullet and start paying.

We desperately need electoral reform.
In a more diverse political landscape like the ones enabled by proportional representation, it's very hard for a single party to be able to reach a majority without coalition partners.
If the Tories had to rely on coalition partners, there's no way they'd have been able to hold a coalition together this long - they can hardly hold their own party together at this point.
