- Comment on Ubisoft Randomly Gives Far Cry 3 A 60FPS Current-Gen Upgrade 1 week ago:
My favorites are 2 and 3. 4 was OK. 5 was garbage. Haven’t played 6.
- FC2 because of the kind of “horror” element being thrown into a oppressive and immersive open world.
- FC3 because of the gameplay overhaul and the brilliant storytelling.

These are really dope, keep up the good work.
Hope you’re doing alright!
- Comment on Spotify’s 3rd price hike in 2.5 years hints at potential new normal 1 week ago:
Music has changed. Its more about single tracks with shorter playtime now because of the algorithms calculating the payout for the artist.

Haven’t watched it either, but it’s a great list. I’d add the embracing of AI slop to it.
- Comment on Got invited to THIS party. Seems to be a new trend of celebrating first times in your life 2 months ago:
I love that the people here take AI slop seriously. It might be a long way from this to shrimp Jesus or whatever else the fuck is going on e.g. at facebook for now, but I’m afraid the ignorance / acceptance as well as the inability to tell the difference will rise gradually.

I don’t understand the hate for that guy in particular. Not judging the content, but the stuff he writes is clearly readable. There are definitely worse lunatics around here.

It’s a tale as old as software development itself: Fuck around with your license, find out by getting replaced by a fork.

Didn’t know that. I would have guessed the reason is to save battery or stop annoying people when it isn’t in reach / you can’t turn it off.

If OP were interested in learning about tech at the same time, they could research an easy way to call the controller API with a simple button / toggle in a project, possibly writing their own controller-to-vibrator App, e.g. in Godot.

There is obviously a lot to unpack here, most of it is just plain gibberish. The best option here, as always, is to ask him directly.
Pro: Fresh white bread can be very delicious. It is soft and fluffy, and depending on the freshness even still warm, which are all really nice things to be associated with imho. It is also versatile, as it can be crafted to e.g. a list of delicious sandwiches. The focus on the whiteness of the bread may be in remembrance to a time when paleness was a female beauty standard.
Contra: It is not the healthiest choice of breads, but not a lot of wheat products are. If I’m not mistaken, it could also be a slur for people with a light skin tone.

Regardless of online / offline, this can be attributed to a method of gaining and maintaining political power called divide and conquer.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 4 months ago:
Now that I think about it, that has been one of my two blanket explanations for rich people being assholes.
The other one being the mix-up of correlation and causation (or even just the direction of causation). Money arguably does make you a worse person, but also being a bad person usually can make you a lot of money in the first place.

Could as well be the case. Would fit to the general theme of the series lol.

Can someone find an excuse for how this behaviour is not just extremely short sighted and just plain stupid? Never heard of the guy before, but he seems to behave like a petty little child throwing a tantrum for something that is obviously his or some of his near colleagues fault. Comparable level of stupidity to “Do you guys not have phones?” lol.
I think they would be better of by just ignoring or at least appeasing the crowd with something.

We will probably do at least experimental forms of geoengineering the next years as well. Also those super volcanoes that should have blown up couple hundred years ago will hide the sun for some years once they pop. Also also, fucking with the climate (or trying to save it) could become some kind of climate warfare in the near future as well I guess. Good times ahead!

A lot of younger folks in IT, like myself, have been on the brink of exhaustion since 2022.
Sure, there was the “obsoletion” of PHP, Java, plain JS, etc. before, in favor of one of the JS frameworks that get released every other day, etc.
But this one feels different. They are trying to sell you the idea of everything related to sw development and programming will get “outsourced” to a computer. The problem is, LLMs can’t do the necessary thinking to build resilient systems as they can’t “think”, neither effective nor efficient. They can be great tools when used the right way, but that’s about it.
