Tech Companies Have a New Thing to Waste Money On: ‘Etiquette Coaches’ for Gen-Z Staff

A new report from The San Francisco Standard claims that Bay Area companies are investing in a service that can alleviate some of the stresses caused by hiring younger employees: etiquette experts. These experts are making good money explaining to new hires why it’s inappropriate to show up to work in sweatpants or put your feet on the table during a meeting. The story quotes women employed in this apparently blossoming field, including Rosalinda Randall, a coach from Marin who claims that inqu

The Era of ‘Woke’ Brand Activism Is Over

In May 2019, Gillette released an ad on Facebook just in time for Pride month. It featured Samson Bonkeabantu Brown—a Black Toronto artist and trans man—learning how to shave for the first time. “I went into my transition just wanting to be happy. I’m glad that I’m at the point where I’m able to shave,” Brown says in the video; later he’s seen shaving as his dad smiles and encourages him from behind his shoulder. “Don’t be scared. Shaving is about being confident,” Brown’s dad says, repeating,

Dbrand admits it had a ‘spectacularly terrible response’ to Killswitch Joy-Con grip detachment complaints

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Dbrand will send replacement Killswitch Joy-Con Grips for the Switch 2 to buyers after admitting it had a “spectacularly terrible response” to complaints that the controllers could detach from the console if held a certain way while the grips were on. The company is currently working on tweaks to the grips as well. A few days ago, some owners of the case noticed that the Swit

dbrand stops blaming customers for holding Switch 2 case wrong, offers Joy-Con grip replacements

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR Users reported Switch 2 Joy-Cons easily detaching with the dbrand Killswitch case installed. dbrand’s initial response echoed Steven Jobs’ “you’re holding it wrong” debacle. Enhanced replacement units will be offered for free to all customers next month. If dbrand is known for anything, it’s premium products and excessive snark. Usually that works in its favor, but when several customers revealed a flaw in the Killswitch case for the Switch 2 on Reddit,

Death Stranding 2 is bigger and more ambitious — and that includes its music

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an expansive, captivating sequel filled with huge environments to explore and a big story from Hideo Kojima to try and wrap your head around. But one of my favorite additions is a small one: an in-game music player that basically functions as your own iPod. Woodkid, a co-composer on the game (and whose real name is Yoann Lemoine), tells The

Hideo Kojima sees Death Stranding 2 as a cautionary tale

For once, the unflappable Hideo Kojima was overwhelmed. Even close to four decades of game-making experience didn’t prepare him for his biggest tribulation so far: developing Death Stranding 2: On the Beach during the covid-19 pandemic. “I thought I can’t pull this off. [I can’t] meet people or scan people, or shoot with people. I almost gave up. And also the staff were all remote, and I became sick as well. I thought it was just the end of the world,” he says through an interpreter as part of

Dbrand responds to Joy-Con issue with Killswitch Switch 2 case, blames user grip

A hot potato: Dbrand, the peripheral company with a long and often sweary history, has taken an iPhone 4-like approach to complaints that its popular Switch 2 case causes the Joy-Cons to detach easily. It says this only happens when people hold the new Switch the wrong way. Some users of Dbrand's Killswitch Switch 2 case have been complaining that it causes the console's Joy-Cons to detach too easily. The Switch 2 has a small gap between the body of the Joy-Cons and the main console. Nintendo

Which Death Stranding 2 Edition Should You Buy?

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch on June 26 exclusively for the PlayStation 5, but those who buy a special edition of the game will be able to access it early. The question is, with three special editions available, which version should you get?

The edition you should purchase will

Death Stranding 2 is much more approachable, if you’re prepared

It took me a long time to appreciate Death Stranding. I’m not even sure I fully got it after my initial playthrough, which was equal parts mesmerizing and dull. The game, in which you play as a postapocalyptic delivery man in a world ravaged by a breach with the afterlife, demands a lot from players. The gameplay is fiddly and frustrating, and the storyline is often inscrutable, at times seeming to make no sense. While it borrows elements from walking sims and stealth games, there’s nothing like

Death Stranding 2 Review: Still Weird, but Way More Playable

When Death Stranding came out in 2019, I did what a lot of people apparently did: Played it for an hour, thought it was a bit weird, and didn't pick it up again until years later (in my case, 2022). So when a sequel to the game was announced, I wondered what Hideo Kojima could possibly do in a follow-up to his strangest game yet. After playing Death Stranding 2 for 40-plus hours, he did quite a bit. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach should have been called Death Stranding 2: Quality of Life, beca
