I love the game, that show sounds really fun!
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 5 days ago:
Is it against the law if they legitimately don’t lower the price though as the above poster is being told to give as a reason, but we know isn’t true?
- Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’ 1 week ago:
Interesting, had no idea about its origin story.
Also… of course
In June 2006 a Rockingham school inquiry was launched after parents complained of the traumatic effects classroom Mafia was having on their fifth-grade children. Davidoff responded to the reports, saying that as a parent who had studied child psychology for 25 years, he felt that the game could “teach kids to distinguish right from wrong”, and that the positive message of being honest could overcome the negative effects of an “evil narrator” moderating the game as if it were a scary story.

We can just skip straight to depose.
- Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’ 1 week ago:
Of all the games they try to demonize, they demonize a game type people have played at home for decades at parties, in person, with no computers.
Brilliant.
- Comment on Damn, "Thoughts and Prayers!" 2 weeks ago:
Today we mourn @el_abuelo as he was not able to get proper treatment. UHC had denied his claim for prayers, but it took months to even get that, and by the time they were ready to make a judgement on thoughts, he had passed away.

is this not about pirating if it’s a single player game?

In a new session isn’t there no speaker until one is elected with any rules?
Just don’t accept the rules and go into another cycle of endless votes for speaker.

It just means you could claim EI.

Time to negotiate a high severance in your job offer if they change their minds and make you return to office or quit.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
Jeff Bezos and his massive overcompensation of a dick rocket that can also land propulsively, but not worth discussing.
In case anyone doesn’t know why… it’s not an orbital rocket. It just goes up and down. Orbital is going up AND sideways very fast.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
I tried to explain to someone that SpaceX testing things to failure was part of their success, and gave an example like purposely leaving heat shield tiles off starship to see what happened, and they then came back saying that is exactly why they (and other people) hate SpaceX.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
I thought it was the boosters that were pointlessly reused and would have been cheaper to make new.
Are you sure it was also the shuttle itself?
- Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase 2 months ago:
I mean that’s what the California law is.
If you buy it you own it, but we aren’t buying the games.
A law that says they have to let us buy it instead of license it would be nice though.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 2 months ago:
One thing I like about space fights is you’ll often see them use the 3 dimensions and that they aren’t just upright. But they really are upright to everything almost all of the time otherwise.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
They’re bigger so it’s hard to know, but it’s usually something like 2.9% + 10c a transaction.
At their scale though who knows
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
They should almost just make it so even the free version of firebase has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction.
I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you’re going that far, you’re getting $1 of use out of it.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
I’ve had Google charge me $0.01 before for firebase usage.
They really should have waited until I owed more since that cost them money.

It’s a invite only alpha and as I write this it’s #7 on the steam rankings of current players, 6 if you wanna exclude Banana which is it’s own hilarious thing

Not about auto rejections, but inept HR…
My favorite is in the earlier days of iOS and Android, like 5 years in kinda thing, there were job postings that required 8 years, specifically in Android or iOS, not just 8 years of development experience.

- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 3 months ago:
…
I understand how to read.
Ignore the 94% it’s the part below it.
It’s supposed to stop charging my battery at 84%. It always charges my battery to 100% despite the setting.

I’m specifically talking about macbooks.
My laptop is of course at 100% despite what this says

What good is the union if they can’t even get you more than minimum wage? Wow.
- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 3 months ago:
Fuck apple and it’s “AI powered” battery charge protector for my laptop that says it’ll stop it at 80% (or 85%?) based on your usage habits, but always charges it to full because fuck your battery. I’d bet money they don’t give you the option to permanently set it because they know the battery dies sooner because their AI battery manager sucks.
I may be triggered.
