  This looks like a fun read. Until the page crashed on my iPad from ads & images.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t VS Code open-sourced? Can those optimizations be contributed to the wider community of electron experts?

  I guess my point is VS Code works well because the users can fix it and they have the ability to do so. The same cant be said for Teams & Outlook. No one can fix that PoS.

  By being a bad security actor when asking permission and giving permission.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Letting users fill out a form before notifying them that they need to sign in to submit it is scummy and needs to end.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some apps might do this but general web development(99.999%) doesn’t

  Dude, do I have a story for you. A FullStory. I’ve tried to get this removed from my workplaces. But managers take too much time seeing exactly what people are doing on the site in order to determine engagement. So, yeah. Expect every single interaction to be recorded on many corporate websites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been a sad thing to watch. I was the biggest Xbox fan in my circles in the 360 & One days. But by the time Series X came out, I was so disappointed in their games that I still don’t own it. Microsoft bought so many companies that I thought would bring games. Yet, most of them aren’t producing anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's no horses in Baldurs Gate 3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, and yet people do not critique it’s open world for being empty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI:⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s super easy just start a podcast or TV show. Then you’ll be qualified for any position.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The longer I'm alive, the more I feel that people make things complicated to feel important.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you get good at it, you’ll become a CEO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony plans to minimize effect of rising PlayStation 5 memory costs by boosting software and network service revenue, according to CFO⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should read “Increase PS Plus prices”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m interested to how they make their survey. Is it people who go to GDC, People with accounts with GDC, or an survey of workers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re doing the “lords” work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK how to protect yourself at a protest⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bring a burner phone. You’ll want a camera.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded [the reworked Splitgate 2 relaunch]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I played it during beta and had issues with challenges. A week after launch, I tried it again and had issues with challenges.

  I don’t think they fixed them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Over, under

  $500 USD?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is odd to me is that these same people would make fun of any other “fan swag”. If this was all Naruto or Star Wars merch, they would be making twitter posts about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought the thing. I should control want it shows at all times. The reason I can’t trust the company to futz with that is why I don’t have one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, I wish organizations had public postmortems on failed projects. I’d like to know the story there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Details Emerge, Including Who Is Making It⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my first hearing of this. With the latest Xbox news, I doubt I will consider the pruchase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody who complains about video games costing more than $60 ever considers inflation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the inflation of everything else that contributes to this frustration. Food prices have risen over the same period at higher rates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These Full Screen ads are the reason I do not own a Xbox Series X and I’m not upgrading to Windows 11.

  I’m turning on my console to do use it for streaming or gaming. Anything that gets in the way of going to be vilified.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handhelds Cost Up to $999.99, Preorders Open Now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (laughs in Steam Deck)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Early access periods should ideally be around six months, research suggests  - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that checks out. There’s a number of early access release games that release to little fanfare or changes. If you’re going early access, use it as a prolonged testing period. Then release the full game.

  GameDiscoverCo’s Simon Carless analyzed over 1,500 games released between 2015 and 2023, […] His results showed that the longer a game stayed in early access, the weaker its full-release sales tended to be.

  Probably because most gamers at this point see EA release as just a release. It kinda begs the question of when it’s useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I asked 20 game developers about Stop Killing Games. [Alanah Pearce]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate this conversation coming from the developers point of view. Especially, the concerns about the legality conversation. The definitions will be scrutinized by everyone involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that if U.S. housing and U.S population projections hold, the Electoral College will shift further away from Democrats after the 2030 census.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It took the Emperor 20 years to remove the Senate in Star Wars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because businesses that use .NET are already paying for it with their visual studio subscription or higher Microsoft support. It’s a bare minimum product that has no incentive to improve because no one pays for it. But businesses force the use of because “we’re already paying for it”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Executives are getting kickbacks? I’ve gotta do some research here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA CEO Says No $80 Games for Now: 'We're Not Looking to Make Any Changes at This Stage'⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think one ever came out. Microsoft closed their studio to make them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox returns to gamescom next month with over 20 playable demos, including Hollow Knight: Silksong⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How many of the 20 demos won’t be released? I’m sitting at a solid 5, maybe 7.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA on privuhcy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, any developer who uses URL parameters for required functionality is short sighted. They should use the path as required parameters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the reviews are good, I’ll spend the $20 on game pass for a month.

  But only if the reviews are very good.

  Or some other game caught my attention.

  Or I’m replaying Outer Worlds 1

  Or I’m still playing Monster Hunter.

  Or… I think I’ll just pass on it.
