  I never played RDR2 because I played 1 and GTA 4 and I just don’t like how Rockstar games play.

  Honestly impressive for a 20+ year-old game to still inspire hot takes.HL2 remains undefeated.

  This is kind of tangential to the question, but an incredibly irritating former friend would not shut the fuck up about Elden Ring for months after it came out and kept telling me to get it. I told him I didn’t like souls-like games and he said ER was “different” without explaining how. I still haven’t played it, even with recommendations from other people I trust. Same guy ensured I’ll never play Death Stranding, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue with that is the toxic/racist/homophobic/transphobic people will by their behavior push out people who would otherwise contribute to development of projects. To have a big tent you can’t tacitly accept bigotry.

  Same. On the handful of occasions I’ve been asked I still don’t want to do it.

  Even if the images were real, I see a woman using her first amendment right to speech and assembly being assaulted by someone who has sworn to uphold the constitution.

  And if miscarriage is abortion, then “god” is the most prolific abortionist of all, since a majority of fertilized ova do not implant in the uterus or do implant but get expelled in the next period.

  You don’t call a guy a “sexual matador” if he’s not a cuck. (He’s “dodging the bull.”)

  I’d put $10 on Steven Miller being a virgin who has always just watched girlfriends getting fucked by other guys. Mostly because it would be worth $10 just to have him prove otherwise, ideally in the most technical sense (“I don’t watch, I jerk off as the girl tells me about it later.”)

  I think pushing the button on a Casio keyboard is more akin to tracing your favorite comics panel than using an LLM image generator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like that would be an argument for liposuction as a way to supplement other weight loss because it would remove those cells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue that this is not really true under capitalism. The logic of capitalism is one of capital accumulation, which requires growth. Under other systems you still have markets and money and profits but there are other goals than the accumulation of capital and therefore achieving “homeostasis” is a successful strategy-a business run with consistent inputs and outputs which includes a sustainable profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I cognitively performing less than I could've been if I hadn't drunk alcohol at that age?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Impossible to tell. Your brain is how it is, rather than worry about what you cannot change, think about what you want to do and how to do it. If you are experiencing cognitive issues or emotional distress that you think might be a long term effect of your young drinking, talk to a therapist or your doctor about how to address those issues now.

  Yeah, there’s definitely morons out there who never bothered to even read about the theory of good code design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly enough, my grasp of coding is probably the same as the guy in the middle but I still know that LLM generated code is garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The most immediately understandable example I heard of this was from a senior developer who pointed out that LLM generated code will build a different code block every time it has to do the same thing. So if that function fails, you have to look at multiple incarnations of the same function, rather than saying “oh, let’s fix that function in the library we built.”
