Dude’s not going to be burning anything out, his furnace can’t even adequately ventilate his house as it is right
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 1 hour ago:
Circa 1997 I was making some innovative new games, employed by a dude who’d put millions of his own money into the company. He was completely nonplussed when I brought him 20 CDs in a sealed box to remove from the building and store off site. He thought I’d lost my damned mind and blew it off as ravings of a stressed dev. I pointed out real threats to our IP including the hardware failures and even so far as the building burning down. 2 years of custom art and code gone. “Unlikely. Relax.”
After I moved on… an ex co-worker who’s still a longtime friend, tells me a different division lost a huge amount of FMV over some whoops-I-destroyed-the-wrong-drive blunder. 20 days to render on an 8 or 10 machine farm. Poof - No backups. In 1997 even with top-of-the-line gear it took an insane investment to render quality 3D.
The friggin’ carelessness irks the shit out of me as I type ahah

Get Styrofoam blocks and plug vents seasonally. In summer plug the downstairs ones so AC feeds upstairs and drifts down, opposite in winter to make air heat the lower levels and slowly rise.

Used to be a lottery game dev, now I’m in addition.
This suggestion would do nothing since compulsive behavior is not a choice and it is not rational.

This is not as insightful as ya think.

This, minus the Laugh Often applique is basically VR people
- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 5 weeks ago:
Disengage.
The amount of doomer shit you intake is directly proportional to time spent online listening to the opinions of imbeciles.
So basically walk away.
- Comment on Audio dongles and the ghost of USB 1 1 month ago:
Agreed, and this article is written backwards.
Problem: Audio is a low power (relatively low data) signal that goes over wire. Audio data (not audio) sent via USB needs decoding into audio before it gets sent down the headphone wire. Implementation fails due to insufficient bandwidth.

That’s more informative, thank you.
I’m not pretending to be any kind of expert, as you can tell from my initial inquiry I’m not familiar with this, I was only responding to the way it was portrayed to me in comments.

Because it sounds like they were employees not IP owners

That’s a bit of a different presentation than “stole” just saying.

Wow, can you say in brief what happened?

Listen dummy, I know this is very hard for you to understand because you’re passionate about some political things, but you’re proving my point, people play games to get away from this shit.

If I ran a game company I’d block this shit as well. Morons need to turn literally every platform into some political squabble, and I wouldn’t tolerate it.

My suggestion is you go get some therapeutic services for the difficulties that plague your mind.
I don’t like the guy, it hurts your feelings, that’s a you problem you little baby

Imagine a person having personal preferences - holy shit what a mind-blowing concept that must be for you

I detest that man so much now. His first videos were good, then his ego started growing, then the bitchy gay man presentation started. I find that so off-putting. Drop the 'tude and give the facts my man.

Microsoft UI “designers” need to be beaten with frozen braids of 3 foot long licorice ropes.

Further the containers contain the info, so the position on the users’ screen is rather irrelevant.

- Comment on The AI Backlash Is Here: Why Backlash Against Gemini, Sora, ChatGPT Is Spreading in 2025 - Newsweek 2 months ago:
When I read this crap, all I can think is that yeah backlash is growing because the forced implementation is growing. Another useless sentiment-based article.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
It’s my opinion that celery is both delicious and disgusting at the same time.
If you get very deep green celery, it’s horrid.
If you get light green celery, or you peel off the outer deep green fibers, it’s delicious again!
And the young leaves are absolutely sweet and delicious as all get-out.
But yeah I could see why a lot of people dislike it.

- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 2 months ago:
I can’t comment on that because I’ve never been out that far but I do live in Winnipeg and we have a large french community … and I can say that I can understand and communicate in French with everybody here.

- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 2 months ago:
I think you’re forgetting that 90% of developers are barely competent at best.
If this upsets the reader and reader’s a dev, remember I’m talking about the other people not you =)

Same with Quebecois!
We were taught Parisienne French in school in Canada even in my French Immersion school.
What is spoken in Quebec is so different they’re effectively different languages, outside of academic or linguistic analysis.
I excelled in French as a kid and that’s why I went to immersion school. Imagine my shock when I moved to QC for 4 years in my early 20’s… I could have a great conversation with the dude that literally came from France but neither of us could communicate in either direction with our French co-workers lol
