well it depends on your definition of cringeworthy but there's for example a huge difference between new vegas (good, from Obsidian Entertainment) vs. Fallout 3 (well, could be worse actually, from Bethesda). Cyberpunk feels quite main

"He [her speaker] added that governments, not private companies, should decide on any limitations to freedom of speech." So it's more a critic of the US government than of Twitter. And if the government doesn't act, it&#

that's one way to paint a picture - with facts, actually. However, as parent said: There's another picture. Mandated 20 days/year holidays (in big companies it's often 30 days), overtime has to be paid (these are things

Probably true. The book "The art of the deal" was ghostwritten. Here's a nice article about the ghostwriter (and how it haunts him): https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/04/donald-t

wow, that taxation is horrendous. And I thought German wasn't too good (compared to whatever paradise I had in mind in scandinavia, france or whatever). To clarify: i don't really mean high taxation is the problem (I'm pro hi

there's a difference between hiring people with a proven track record (especially in this industry, e.g. known projects through github) and hiring your nephew just because he's a great guy. Although I do agree that knowing about

well, if you've followed mainstream (read: predictable) cinema for the last few years, that's exactly what was to be expected, wasn't it? Especially since it was foreshadowed in the first movie that some kind of time travel v

Maybe it's just that deus ex is 20 years old and we were younger than, so that its dialogs and story felt better [than it maybe actually were - not saying it's bad, just maybe a little rose-tinted]. I have a similar inclination as

Miyamoto has this famous saying about releasing a broken game: "A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.". Although it doesn't hold true anymore (thanks to patching), their mantra hasn't changed. He

the free speech in the usa is also something out of a dystopian terror novel. Writers (e.g. in the atlantic) like to say that our time is less like 1984 and more like brave new world in that all the noise that is allowed through free speech
