- Comment on Epic Games is officially cool with the Internet Archive preserving early Unreal games 1 day ago:
Eh, i wouldnt say they are better. They explicitly pulled all unreal games off all stores ( steam, epic store, gog, … ), killed all servers and when asked acted like unreal never existed. They are pieces of shit for doing it and they had no real reason in doing so imo…
- Comment on If Open Source is so great... 1 day ago:
Vlc is basically what it is because of ffmpeg and the likes, which are… Corporate supported :p
That said ffmpeg didnt start that way, but at one point it was and vlc quickly jumped into popularity because of it and it quickly supporting new formats ( like mkv back in 2003/2004 ).
Youre not wrong, but its more complex than that xD - Comment on Guy Who Taunted Nintendo About Streaming Pirated Switch Games Before Release Now Faces $7.5 Million Lawsuit 1 week ago:
Kinda the reason i dont like kotaku tbh. They do such things very often and it always feel like they are taunting or flexing and it comes over as really douchy to me

A 5 bit long signed integer? What kind of weird system you using ? :p
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 5 weeks ago:
As a software developer i know what iterative development means, its in our blood and brains ( or at least it should be ). Simulations can indeed only get you so far, and i agree sometimes you have to make things and take a plunge. However, and i would like to be really wrong here so correct me if im wrong, but other companies like nasa, do not just shoot shit up in space and hope for the best. They arent allowed to do so for a reason. They test and calculate everything very rigoursly to make sure itll hold up as expected. From thruster power, resistance to continues extreme heat from reentry, …
All of that they do here, on earth, before shooting anything up into space. Otherwise things like the rover on mars would have needed like 20 tries instead of 2.These are things that looks like spacex is just throwing out the window.
To take it back to software development, they are doing an iterative development ( which is very good for what they are doing! ) but their testing before production/release of software is so basic theyll just see how it responds out there. Thats a huge nono to me if youre going to end up crashing all those rockets in the sea killing a shit ton of nature in the process. Sometimes the means dont justify the costs to me, and this is one of them. Yes, the booster catching was nice to see ( eventhough it nearly ended badly ) and its idea is very good and needed, but the way to get there is…messy. - Comment on Badgers 5 weeks ago:
Ye, they are apparently a different race of badgers!

I love this meme, and nearly commented it myself to the top comment, but i learned an american badger != a honey badger :(
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 5 weeks ago:
Specially this. How space x handles failures is a very hard nono in my book. “But we test in the field” is what space x says, and as a software developer its like saying “we test in production”.
Yes youll get something use able faster, but its way way more costly in the long run and is nasty in between.
My arse they cant test this stuff on earth. We have simulations, models, calculations, test, everything. Yes, things can and will sometimes still fail when going in production ( in flight ) but you want to lower the risk of it failing cause its costly as fuck.They dont seem to care though
- Comment on The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing 5 weeks ago:
Maybe they wrote their own emulator
- Comment on Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now? 2 months ago:
Oh sweet summer child. Capcom is on a very sharp edge imo.
Their games are solid, but everything around it is utter god damn dogshit.
Sf6? Very very solid base game, but to get all content since last year + the game you have to pay +200 euros.
Re4? Very solid remake, but prepare to loose performance on pc due to dunovo despite it being a single player game.
Re: the village? Very solid game, but better pay shit up and also loose performance despite ALSO being a single player game.
Megaman: mega who?
Monster hunter : safe, for now. Monster hunter wilds looks amazing and loads of fun, but watch them fuck it up somehow… - Comment on "Now everyone will have an easy reference table at hand!" 2 months ago:
Also had to memorise it, and though its been ages, i can get the properties of some elements just by remembering +/- where on the table it is. So idk, sounds like a educational purpose :')

Euh, sword art online s2 exists haha

Came here to see a bob comment, was happy to found one haha.
Hungry bob might also be found in an adult entertainment shop though xD - Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 3 months ago:
Thanks!
That was hilarious to see, and the player was good. He went into defensive mode on the second round on the first game, and in the second game he went into faking attacks to trigger reactions and punish when responding wrong. Loved it haha
- Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 3 months ago:
Thanks! I will take a listen at that video! I imagine in sf3 it could also have been obvious with the parry system
- Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 3 months ago:
Right, so basically things that decent skills would also get you?
Also, if you feel being aggressive doesnt help you, you start playing defensively and thats when you can strike back. Cheats or not, it still has to attack and is still stuck on the frame limits of the move right? Thats when you can strike back, no?Im not saying cheating isnt bad, and im not saying its not annoying either, but in general fighters are different and they are completely skill based unless the cheater changes things that the other can never do.
Pretty sure ive fought cheaters back in the day in sf4 before, but that was never that bad because i still had options to fight them back… - Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 3 months ago:
How would cheating in a fighter even look like? Those games are mostly about reading your opponent. Unlike a fps or moba, all info is on the screen etc :/

Oh god yes! Every time im in germany i will stop at an ice creamshop for this!
- Comment on accents 5 months ago:
I assume this is because their communication is based on posture, look and pheromones?
I was wondering if ducks would understand each other, with them having confirmed to have accents based on region - Comment on They probably want to show off 5 months ago:
Even google’s ai overview agrees its the truth there!

Are any publically known about margot? This is a first time i hear of this! Sucks fucking arse though!

Thanks. I also thought maybe op had something to add. But euh, maybe wise to not do so haha

I… What? What happened here
- Comment on Steam is now refunding Ghost of Tsushima for people in affected countries. 6 months ago:
The developers were told 6 months before release that it needed to have psn required. Granted, thats waaaaaay too late to tell a dev that, but they could have delayed the game. Instead, they made it half arse and still told sony it was good to go.
Imho, both have gone wrong here - Comment on Mad Palaeontologists 6 months ago:
My mistake, youre right. Its sauron that was on savage island

Figured, guy looks like stegron, which i assume is him
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
Why not just use a ratchet or spanner then…?
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
Fair. It all depends on where it breaks off and how tight the screw is. In electronics the screws arent in very tight, and breaking it off often breaks it off all the way down to the base.
Whatever happens, tamper proof is a huge fail and a good joke - Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
Pozidrive and torx ftw. The rest can bugger off tbh.
Also, temper proof torx makes me lol. Brb, grabbing pliers to break of the temper proof bit haha
