- Comment on Like Elon Musk, 1 in 3 bosses admit they are pushing RTO because they're so upset about wasting money on all those empty desks 2 days ago:
Anyone who does not understand the sunk cost fallacy should not be in management.
You’ve spent $x on office space. You can:
A. Use it, and make your employees hate working for you or
B. Let it go unused, and your employees are happier to continue working for you.
The money is spent either way. The only difference is morale, which does in fact directly contribute to your bottom line.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
Nethack.
The first few dozen times I played it, it felt like it took forever to get anywhere. The most recent time I played, it felt quick and easy to get to the bottom. (I got stuck on something, though, and haven’t been able to continue past the valley of the dead.)

- Comment on Beyond Good & Evil 2's troubled development due to "passionate managers" not getting along, says creator Michel Ancel 1 week ago:
The article seems to say that “passionate” is code for “toxic”.
- Comment on Fileless Malware Evades Detection-Based Security 1 week ago:
And that’s why you should practice defense in depth, for example, by ensuring users do not have excessive privileges, or access to files they don’t need.
- Comment on 'I want to acknowledge that we messed up': NZXT addresses concerns about its controversial Flex gaming PC rental program and commits to taking action 2 weeks ago:
Apparently it’s got a whole section on Wikipedia now: …wikipedia.org/…/Star_Wars_Battlefront_II_(2017_v…
- Comment on 'I want to acknowledge that we messed up': NZXT addresses concerns about its controversial Flex gaming PC rental program and commits to taking action 2 weeks ago:
Even if it works out to spending $3000 on the end, that’s still only $80/month, and their demographic is people living paycheck to paycheck who don’t have the few hundred at any one time to buy the stuff outright.
- Comment on Cranking Up The Detail In A Flight Simulator From 1992 2 weeks ago:
I would expect hackaday to go into more detail. Ironic.
It looks like all they did was uncap the render distance, to let the game render the high detail level at ranges that would have crippled the original hardware. They didn’t actually hack higher quality resources into the game. Same resources, just all on screen at once.

- Comment on What are some great games that require you to bust out a notebook and pen? 2 weeks ago:
Myst was my answer even before reading your post, so I would say the rest of the series. Also Quern, in the same genre. Maybe The Talos Principle if you like puzzles, though I don’t remember reaching for my notepad while playing.

- Comment on Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise 2 weeks ago:
A great D&D video game just came out recently, and will be the biggest player for a while. How do they plan to outshine BG3?
- Comment on Are there games with real collision detection? 2 weeks ago:
Plenty. It’s just that it’s not often used because it’s more computationally expensive.
Usually it’s just collision hulls for hitboxes instead of per-face collision. But even if your sword passes right through the enemy, it’s still doing collision detection to identify that it’s passing through the enemy. It’s just that animations are rarely complex enough to account for all the possible ways you could hit an enemy.
- Comment on UK counter-terrorism unit demands Steam withdraw controversial shooter from sale 2 weeks ago:
…steampowered.com/…/Fursan_alAqsa_The_Knights_of_…
Surprisingly good reviews for something that doesn’t look like a very good game, and is more of a political statement than a game.
It’s definitely not like COD in that it uses real-world events and factions, and not in a fictionalized setting.

Good shit. My first reaction to posts like these are always “ok but did you actually do anything about it, or just whinge on social media?”
