Honestly even if I did I’d preserve the page as is, beautiful

What about a bash script that calls your CI/CD because the system is so old and complex anyone learning how to use it immediately builds a 1-off tool to hide what they don’t need but then everyone starts relying on that 1-off bash script so you extend the functionality then replace it with a proper tool then let that rot so you need a new bash script to call that to hide the useless parts?

“pay that debt later on”, nothings more permanent than temporary. In my experience things are more likely to default than get paid lol

My favorite tactic used by several of the coffee shops near me is they start slowly turning the music louder. People naturally start leaving once it’s too loud to think or talk. Place I used to work at we’d turn off half the lights and everyone would just show up at the register no confrontation needed. People were fine with it a vast majority of the time but occasionally there would be someone who asked us to turn the lights back on so they could keep shopping

Fuck yessss, I hope the support is good. They put so much love into that game now I want to see how extra the modding scene will get

My work someone made a robust automated build script, and they left so someone else made a wrapper around it to make it easier to work with, they’re gone now and someone wrote a wrapper around that to extend functionality in a backwards compatible way, but it’s overly complicated for my minimal use cases so I wrote a batch file to call it with my default settings…

Ah taking notes from how Unity fired people. Slow and steady to ensure morale is as ruined as possible

Billions of queries becoming way more energy intensive for a feature almost nobody asked for, now the default. What the fuck are we even doing

When did you retire? Agile has been around for at least 20 years, more like 30 if you count scrum being introduced before agile was formally defined. No matter how critical I am of agile it is hardly a fad at this point

I’m in the game industry. This is entirely person observation I have not studied this topic so can’t source anything

The people I saw going to early mobile market were a lot of handheld console and flash game devs and companies. They were adapting the closest existing game designs and brought with them a “small game small cost” philosophy. It also wasn’t really known yet how impulsive people are on phones. So it was an unproven market with smaller teams and people making yester era design choices. There also used to be a few bigger games with bigger price tags but people didn’t buy into those because anyone willing to spend that on a game at the time would have had a console or PC and could buy a better experience there for the same price.

The only mobile game experience I have was back in like 2012, smart phones were really taking off, and the market for mobile games was proven. The company I worked for we built a release ready game but it never got released. We couldn’t sell it to investors because the monetization was never aggressive enough for them (the investor money at that point was less about making the game and more to fund marketing and stabilizing the studio as a long term business). I quit when my job stopped being dev work and started being round tables about how to psychologically trick players into paying more. Anyway with so much focus on heavy monetization it stopped being economically worth it for a lot of startups to actually make good games when thinly veiled skinner boxes pleased the investors all the same

And humid, internet is saying they’re at like 50% humidity right now

I’m trans and have surgery coming up so I’m often trying to research a lot of stuff related to that. Seems half the useful info out there is on Reddit and I have to get around the fucking NSFW wall all the time. I’m so frustrated that so much of that information got tied up there and in discord channels

Oh good, more opportunities for my anti-vax brother to put his children’s lives in danger. Just what we need

This is such a bad time for me to be trying to get back into the game industry fml

I don’t understand any of these words, I need to take a math class or something

I’ve only ever used it in browser to limit what it can see on my machine. I was told by one of my coding professors that one of the signs of a virus is if it monitors what apps you’re running, I’ve been cautious ever since of anything that does that (obviously it isn’t the only sign and isn’t instant virus bin, like I have an app that monitors GPU usage and throttles apps to keep from cooking my machine)

I’ve never played so I’m not sure what the systems are. Is that video not showing someone complete the level? Is it the level creator having to prove it is solvable to submit it?

In addition to what everyone else is saying, any e vehicle able to go that fast weighs more than 60 pounds. You use a random number generator for this post?

As someone currently working in QA, they might have a bunch of high priority tasks related to monetization or partnerships with legal obligations. QA for things the consumer sees only needs to be prioritized enough to keep the profits vs. outrage ratio in the green
