It is very off-putting, to see an entire society display suicidal behaviour, a weird side-effect of Christian belief being guilt and repentance through suffering, being enacted by people who utterly despise it. It is, however, being masterfully exploited by others, if we do fall, we'd have deserved it, not for their reasons however, but simply that we lost the struggle of civilisations from our own decadence, meaning it was time for others, History doesn't end that easily.

The ESG stuff is not a joke. Got a notification my pension plan has been optimised for ESG investments, there is no way to opt out. So now my pension fund is focused on companies that aren’t focused on making the best products or services or even profit. The easiest way to bump ESG scores is to max out diversity. I was in a social meeting with some management in my company and they were celebrating the gender diversity and how they increase this. Joke is they had to specify gender diversity as I was the only black person in meeting. Now if I get a promotion I have to worry about if they were trying to meet a quota so they can pay them selves on the back when I’m not there. I’ve purposely avoided middle management bullshit roles my whole career and chose to focus on being an SME in my area. My skillset is technical not managerial. This is why when they sent a survey around asking for everybody’s ethnic background I refused to answer. The only people who don’t know I am black should not have a say in my performance and it shouldn’t matter. End of rant.

@@HonkeyKong54 from what I can gather your half right. When gaming companies start to fail creativity or because of certain pandering hiring practices they have to take out loans to recoup cost. Blackstone (not the name but KZbin makes you fight to say the full name with rock) and the like give loans based on ESG. The reasoning based on my information that sweet baby Ray's can come from basically no where to work with AAA studios is because they are basically co-signing/ approving the black stone loan by making the studios meet the ESG ratings. (Like a woke OSHA or HOA). And to further speculate the reason the budgets could be higher on Sweet baby Ray's sauced up games might be the studios are forced to take higher loans out when they are validated. So it maybe didn't cost 300mil to make spiderman 2 but they were forced to all or nothing it and take the 300mil. Idk it's just a theory

As the saying goes, follow the money. If a company has sold themselves to ESG, then I think that's a clear answer you can't trust them with your money.

[@Parlimant_Strifey]

given that they are in Montreal and a Blackrock office is in Montreal, you have far more interesting stuff going on in Montreal then people want to realize. Like the new language laws that were made, that conveniently excludes a certain tribe based in Montreal. Quebec itself is a special independent state essentially, but people don't want to admit that...just do cognitive dissonance up here in Canada. Literally have our own Vatican City or District of Columbia, people pretending it isn't real.

[@passingrando6457]

Yeah, I swear. It used to be, I didn't care. I really didn't. Anderson from ME, CJ from San Andreas, Sargent Johnson from Halo... All characters I was happy to have on the scene. Now I have an almost Pavlovian nervous reaction when such characters pop up in newer works. Edit to add: same with female characters. I thought FemShephard was better voiced, Laura Croft was awesome, in games with character creation I was just as likely to make a female character as a male. Now, I have a hard time doing so.

Deathloop had not one but two black characters on its cover. One was a woman too!

[@MarvinPowell1]

When she said "the first black character on the cover of a game," I immediately thought of CJ, a black protagonist from a super-successful game twenty years ago! And more recently, you had Franklin from GTA V. Both San Andreas and V are some of the biggest selling games of all time. Yet she thinks she invented black game characters in 2024...

[@pegeta]

They don't know or care what spawn is

[@Black_Sheep_0213]

Did she basically say "we hope white men are more than surface level, and don't need to see a white character in order to resonate" and then in another speech also say, "I got to see myself. I got to see people who look like me." ???
