NZ is usually used as a Guinea pig by tech companies, small population, English speaking, etc.
However I think it might be that the Alll Blacks might face off the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup Final and Elon wants to minimise the shitposting on Twitter. /s
After the revival they just re-released the Batman games, announced a sequel to The Wolf Among Us and then nothing for 4 years? It is sad to see Telltale gone, but at the same time I am not surprised.

A friend works for a large-ish company that makes a product on Unity (not a game tho) and he just told me they were moving to Godot ASAP
they do, my sister just bought one
My previous job referred to ex employees as traitors or betrayers
I’m saving this phrase.
I had a PM postpone a critical part of a project since June, the hard deadline is on September 15th… I’ve insisted to start with it months ago and now he’s scrambling everyone to get this done yesterday.
We’re not gonna make it and I don’t care anymore.
Also, the last mile issue is very real and needs to be solved.

Wholeheartedly agree. My previous employer was very big into pride and DEI since at least 10 years ago, when it wasn’t as normaliaed as it is today.
However, the office wasn’t wheelchair accessible and I complained about it, took me more than 4 years to get them to do something about it because I’m not a wheelchair user, so my requests got denied every time, absolutely zero empathy despite what they used to promote.
As you said, Pride is free marketing, building a ramp costs money

I dug a bit into it and there’s obvious astroturfing going on by the creator. There’s some crypto bullshit attached to it.
the official app works great on Android
VHS won over Betamax. This one was over porn despite Beta being technically superior.
DVD won over VCD. This one was over copy protection since VCD were trivial to decrypt and copy at the time.
My current employer had a relatively small layoffs round (about 3% of the workforce). More people resigned afterwards than during the layoffs.
My manager got a promotion with a hefty salary increase, then the company announced a hiring and salary freeze, then gave me a promotion with more responsibilities (some of my manager’s as well) but with the same salary.
I quited a few months later as soon as I could secure something else
Anker is a great brand for anything power related (chargers, cables, batteries, etc). Everything else, not so much
+1 for UGREEN. My workplace uses them for everything, I’ve used many of their products over the years and they work great.
Reminds me of a story a friend told me when I was traveling through South America.
My friend was walking home late at night and a guy from another country (forgot which, but it was obvious from his accent) asked him for money. This exchange of course happened in Spanish:
“I have an iron” “what does iron means in your country?” “by iron I mean knife” and pulls out a knife “oh, because here iron means this” and pulls out a gun.
Then the robber just ran away.
