Search for the developer name to see their full list, as there’s a bunch more. I just listed the ones I had on my wishlist before purging them. And if you want to just filter anything they make going forward, on their developer/publisher page, there’s a gearbox that has ignore options. And if you want to undo that, the list of ignored games and companies is somewhere in the settings.
Turns out I have 3 of their games on my wishlist.
Roadcraft, recent reviews mixed, looks like that was from before this controversy as only one that I looked at mentioned it. Others mention things like the characters and story seeming like they were produced by AI. “The story is so generic and blandly written, I wonder if humans were involved or not.” Others complain about the game being janky and lacking polish. Someone preordered the ultimate edition and was upset they paid $100 for it and it didn’t include DLC (there’s 5 paid DLCs, game was released in May '25).
Tempest Rising, though for this one they are only listed as a publisher. Reviews are mostly positive (though there’s a negative one that mentions this).
Space Marines 2, this one is currently showing up as “Very Positive” but it looks like this might bring it down into the mixed area because there’s a lot of negative reviews mentioning this, though. Oh it uses kernel anti-cheat so I guess I wasn’t getting it anyways.
Yeah, even just going purely by just that response quote in this post is enough for me to detest that guy and want the company that chose him to lead to fail.
Though I do kinda wish that leaker had waited because it’s easy to say “we were going to reveal it later” even if they had no intention of revealing anything. If this had come out at release, then that excuse wouldn’t have been available (assuming my hunch that they weren’t going to say shit was right).
I used to have difficulty getting through doors. Turns out they are designed to prevent you from going through when closed and luckily I was able to solve the problem from there and mostly get through doors when I want to now.
When they leave the foundry in Taiwan, they aren’t ready to be just used. I’m not sure if TSMC even cuts the dies out of the wafers, then they need to be packaged and binned (not necessarily in that order… Being packaged makes binning easier but it’s a waste to package a junk chip). Packaging might happen in Malaysia, Singapore, or China (or elsewhere, I just know those countries have packaging facilities).
Packaging is when they put the chip(s) on the little PCB that has the pins or pads (for CPUs), though GPUs generally go on a board of some sort, though I can only guess how this one was packaged. Imagining Jensen Huang on an assembly line, licking the backs of GPUs and sticking them on missiles as they pass by and causually get dumped in a steel bin at the end of the conveyor, but that’s probably not what’s happening with them.
Another guess just based on the terms is it could be a method that throws your json object into a black hole and returns the version of the object that is stretched out to infinity.
Though that’s just an optical illusion, in reality the object would be ripped apart by the gravity or extreme radiation, depending on whether it was a small or large black hole.
Your guesses are more useful, but I can’t fathom what goes on in the mind of JavaScript devs.
Maybe the client’s interpreter’s autocorrect will fix it at run time.
Sounds like someone bullshitted their way through school to get a technical degree, not realizing that their bullshitting depended on the person they were bullshitting not being good or confident with technology, which gets rarer when you go into a technical career.
Haha I have also done an interview where the person had a friend in the room feeding them answers, though this one must have assumed his mic was worse than it was and didn’t mute at all, so we could hear the mumbling of answers. To make it even funnier, though, their friend wouldn’t have gotten hired either because none of their answers were good.
I kinda wanted to tell them they should find a smarter friend to help them cheat at interviews but instead just thanked them for their time and ended the interview.
Though tbh, I wasn’t really impressed by any of the new grads from the schools we were looking at. Some of them made me wonder if they learned anything at all about software development during their time at school.
Also acceptable: JavaScript? Ok shoot me.
Ironically, LLMs are pretty good for helping optimize non-LLM workflows. Brainstorming a list of things that already exist is something they do well. And even if they hallucinate some entries, just move on to the next one. And having them help with one time setup or debugging specific issues is way more efficient than having a workflow that involves them regularly.
I mean if you want to make obnoxious messages that invoke images of Facebook Karens that think clapping to emphasize words helps their point (to the point they add clapping emojis to text… Holy fuck I can’t emphasize enough how 👏 utterly 👏 braindead 👏 that clapping looks to me), this tree emoji looks kinda like a bush, at least on my device: 🌳
Now show me Alien if it had been released in 1999 instead.
Aborts after 5 seconds, realizing the entertainment value will be pretty much entirely laughing at the ridiculous things it got wrong which is already old
You mean stay in the bank and take hostages?
Go to the roof of a skyscraper and throw it all over the side towards the busiest street.
Lol at that age I remember my daughter thinking Mario Kart was like a movie where you picked your character and their vehicle, then watched them race (because auto steer and accelerate were on, which is good enough to finish middle of the pack, at least for 50cc).
These days she spends most of her gaming time on Minecraft.
I’m trying to nudge my daughter into playing it, but I guess I shared too many other interesting looking games with the family. A Game About Digging A Hole caught her eye first lol.
Yeah but the song is about someone who is NOT a fortunate son. Or a senator’s son.
Aperture Science doesn’t test on animals, all tests are ethically done on humans, of which I am one who is definitely still alive after finishing all the tests and full of cake.
Pizza delivery is generally cheaper and more reliable, assuming the pizza place has its own drivers. Cheaper because the delivery service is intended to extend the restaurant’s sales, rather than needing to extract enough value to pay both a driver and the middleman app. More reliable because the driver isn’t just some anonymous person that decided to download an app but a driver that has an ongoing relationship with the pizza place.
