  Oh that trick I fully employed. They had to retire 19 internal applications within a year of me leaving :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self sacrifice is honorable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been in these sorts of situations (had enormous access to critical systems and data and was poorly treated by employer), but logically I just don’t think it is worth the risk to myself, my family, and my future in general to get revenge on these sort of things. It would need to be some sort of Princess Bride situation (“You killed my father, now prepare to die”) kind of thing to bring me to that sort of insanity.

  I have also had coworkers that did similar-ish things and they were quite lucky that all that happened was that they were immediately fired and blackballed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self sacrifice is honorable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re in a position to have access make this sort of thing, you likely have access to code bases or system accounts. This is a good way to go to prison IMO.

  They can’t stop you yet…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A chill gaming community for the 30+ crowd⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that immediately means I’m not interested, but good for the people willing to use Discord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The house always wins⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  quantitative easing This is not quantitative easing, not did Obama start the concept. Quantitative easing would be more like players having no money and going around the board doing very little to nothing until the banker decides to start giving out extra money or houses to players to get the game moving again. The common house rule of putting a bunch of money in the middle of the board which can be “won” by landing on free parking could be construed as quantitative easing though.

  I had only recently gotten into the game when they did that. I hadn’t quite got to play some of the content they “vaulted”. I quite literally never logged in again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony PlayStation Accounts Are Reportedly Being Hacked With Ease⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can confirm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square Enix Drops The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Demo 30 Days Early, With Saves Carrying Into Full Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m absolutely in the mood for a new 2.5D jrpg, but no interest since it has Denuvo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square Enix Drops The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Demo 30 Days Early, With Saves Carrying Into Full Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for letting us know as this was my first question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo has ironically made my favorite and most disappointing consoles.

  Most disappointing:

  Virtual Boy WiiU Wii Switch

  Best:

  NES SNES Game Boy GBA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is this???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US I’d say its a pretty tight race still. I quite literally laugh every time I see a BMW turn or change lanes without signaling. Which makes the average drive quite funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Name one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s a lieutenant in later seasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unappreciated in my own lifetime⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked someone this that same question in an interview, not so much that it was important, but to see if they had general basic networking knowledge like they claimed to on their resume. Their highly confident explanation was “TCP is for sending, UDP is for receiving” They did not get the job, though not just because of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s very common in college dorms to share a room like that. I noped out of that real quick back in the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steamed Gears⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very close, but he missed the nano machines. Which is fair since they are a very small detail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2/10 people on Lemmy, is that you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly have no idea, but I suppose it could be the lead. My own mother is bonkers and is starting to remind me of the crazy old mother from Requiem for a Dream,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2/10 people on Lemmy, is that you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see you have met my in-laws. This isn’t just some boomer humor, they have truly transcended their Fox News addicted roots and now get really angry about aliens, chemtrails, and all sorts of bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that is an accurate description. A couple four loko could make your evening into a Fear and Loathing style event worthy of legend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hadn’t even thought about that, it makes total since being derived from Greek. I am not fully on team octopodes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Four Loko was the start and eventual downfall of many wild and ultimately regrettable times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure I’d call Outer Worlds “fantastic”, but I’d probably still call it “good” which still holds up against he higher up comment saying they haven’t made any good games since. It reminded me of the first Mass Effect game in a way, it was a KOTOR game with the soul stripped out of it. Outer Worlds was just FNV with far less soul and in space. I didn’t run into any bugs while playing on release though, which was a nice surprise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That day one experience was the only thing that made it feel like a Bethesda game. I had that exact same experience in Daggerfall, Morrowing, Oblivion, and Fallout 3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Miss me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like we were getting scammed in the US then. I, in the US, was paying over $20 for Atari 2600 games and over $50 for some fairly early NES games. I know Mastertronic was mostly for cheap Sega games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Astronauts are funny⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That was the first thing that I thought of as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Miss me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the point of your story, but when the hell were LPs and video games that cheap. I would think that any time that LPs were that cheap would be before video games even existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A handy reference guide for you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, those wasps are assholes, just not quite as much of assholes as yellow jackets. Weirdly enough, I’ve been stung by everything on this list that is capable of doing so including bumble bees. Bees hate me and I hate them, but I still refrain from killing them because we need them around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like the meme died and came back to torment the living.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which wired earbuds do you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As I said, they sounded decent, very decent for the price, I just found them uncomfortable. Headphones don’t need to be expensive to be good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which wired earbuds do you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a string of IEMs, almost all of them Chinese brands like KZT, that were all lauded as “sounds better than $500 IEMs, only cost $10!!!” that were way over hyped for a while. And I bought many/most of them because they were so cheap and then usually gave them away because they were not the magic thing the hype insisted.
