I should probably standardize my tags a bit, but like others I mainly use it to label argumentative people with mean names as a reminder not to argue with them and their dumbass\shithead\moron\cia-psyop views.
I should also start tagging locals when I suspect them. Maybe all 3 of us can have a Lemmy NOLA meetup sometime?
~~And no OP, you haven't "earned" a label yet.~~
I have now tagged you as "Label-Curious"
Programmer spends pages making huge, well reasoned argument that will fail because they missed the point that human language isnt technical, it's marketing.
Same. I loved 2 but the DLC started to get... dicey. Pre-Sequel was fun, but then kind of a let down and made me realize how stale the gameplay was and how dev practices at Gearbox were shifting. I ended up never playing 3.
I'd be curious to see your list, and how it matches up with my own half-remembered gripes.
Works for me. I got stuck on the puppet king second phase and gave up. Not like rage quit, I just never went back to the game after like a dozen attempts, uninstalled it months later to free up space.
I love difficulty adjustments. Tuning a game to be right for every audience is impossible, better to let the end client have some control over fine tuning their experience.
Control is an excellent example of this for me. My GOTY when it came out, still an all time fav. I love the story and setting, but the combat is tedious after a while. In that case, lowering enemy health made the game less boring without being substantially easier, giving me the kind of experience I could enjoy.
Hard to believe those lazy employees managed to cost the company so much after being fired. I suppose if I were CEO, I'd allow them to come back to work but only at reduced pay and with the understanding that there will be no more pizza parties and other luxury perks. Workers need to earn those kinds of benefits by achieving record setting profits.
Only right now. I'm sure someone will have it running on Wine or Proton by next week. Steamdeck subsystem for proton for Windows subsystem for linux
I feel like you dug up my early 10's hardcore and emo playlist! Looking forward to when you get to Atreyu or Saosin! Thanks for sharing!
I doubt they'll get anywhere with weak action like that. "Stop forcing copilot on us or we'll be very sad and we'll strongly consider moving some of our hosting to another site."
GitHub is a disaster for open source software. MS controls some insane amount of all the code created on earth, and even with self-hosted forges being more prolific and easier to access than ever, people act like their projects can't live without Big Daddy MS's social media for coders.
I saw someone the other day, on Lemmy and in full seriousness, proclaim that the world really needed distributed version control. To avoid censorship, like how the fediverse is decentralized.
This is what GitHub has done to a generation of programmers. For those missing the joke, git is already decentralized. You don't need a central Hub of some kind for your code. You do for your issues, releases, and all that, but not for the code. And if we'd collectively moved to a well designed, intentionally improved system like Fossil, all that woukd have been decentralized and distributed too.
But no, easier and more efficient/profitable to keep using the one C library that's compatible with Torvald's pile of old Perl scripts. My website can't live without a built in Travis CI bot and nonstop PRs from dependency bot, but allowing every moron on earth to submit AI generated content, at last we've found the step too far.
Funny, though, cabbage (in coleslaw) is also slang for money. Fries are just fries, I think, but chicks or birds are slang for women. So really, this incel nerd should be substituting the whole box for a loaf of bread and extra sauce.
I get people's intentions behind this, ignorant though it is. I think medicated ADHD folks get a little defensive about it too though. I took adderall and then vyvanse for about 15 years total. Now I don't take anything for it; I meditate and do THC recreationally (which was how I discovered the ADHD in the first place.)
I don't think medication is bad, I think it helps people live they way they feel like they want or must. I realized that I was caught up in the hustle trap, taking meds to optimize my brain for the purpose of being a better capitalist worker.
I actually really like my default state. I'm extremely flexible and creative, I get a mix of tasks done, and my emotions are well regulated. On Vyvanse I got a lot of work done, but i was also a rage zombie, and I was prone to falling into "productivity mode" where I could hammer out line after line of code that was all boilerplate or data entry, other easy work to focus on. The kind of thing my ADHD brain would force me to find an easier (better designed) way to do the task if I wasn't medicated into docile compliance.
So I'm not an advocate for either way: treat your mind the unique way you need to. But i really think the majority of ADHD folks are medicating themselves into acceptance of a broken and diseased system, when our brains have already been adapting to the actual needs of our information-overdense society.
Some poboy shops here sell a long burger. My gym buddy used to regularly eat the 8 patty footlong double. Must have been a pound of meat on it, never mind the cheese and other toppings.
While true and sad, I did just learn about OpenGOAL. The team has created a new engine to run the original code of Jak1 and Jak2 (working on 3), so you can now play them natively on PC! Jak1 has been working great, its a lot of fun to revisit!
No Sly Cooper remakes yet sadly, stealth games always get ignored.
