- Comment on Super Meat Boy 3D Announcement Trailer 3 hours ago:
Hot take. I’m excited this is going 3d. I think it has a chance to outshine the original and give it extra depth.
Also random question, wtf is Xbox PC? Is that just their branding of the PC version? Or is it exclusively on their store/client?

- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons 6 days ago:
Activision has always been awful but they’ve really done their damndest to ensure I never want to play a COD game again
- Requires a phone number to play online
- Their UI is the absolute worst thing I’ve laid eyes on. It spends more time advertising other products instead of showing, yknow, how to launch the game I paid money for. I quite literally had to google how to launch the CoD remake because their UI was so confusing
- install sizes are absurd. I still remember the COD remake took 500GB to install
- and now micro transactions in loadout screens
And this doesn’t even include all the fuckery with their C-Suite.
I don’t know why they make it so awful to try to play the game you paid full price for.

Eventually all of this slop will pass when they realize it does not work. But for a couple years everyone is gonna have to put up with companies trying bullshit like this until the metrics show that it doesn’t do anything for the cash.

I thought some of that was them trying to wash away the original fascist roots of OG 40K. Haven’t they been trying to slowly retool and rebrand the imperium more as the “good guys” so they can sell more merch?

- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 2 weeks ago:
Yeah like I’m a lot cooler on the AI hype than most but the articles argument is weak. This is the same shit people were saying when SO and Google were gaining traction. Surprisingly having one tool does not limit people from digging further into internals

- Comment on Github Discussion: Allow us to block Copilot-generated issues (and PRs) from our own repositories #159749 2 weeks ago:
My last job did AI submitted PRs and they were the most obnoxious thing. They’d make broad changes and break shit and we were expected to merge them in because “AI”.

I’ve been learning drums for a bit. It’s a lot of fun. I’d recommend sticking with it.

I dunno at some point I’m just gonna stop watching tv and find other ways to entertain myself.
I think the streaming service I use the most is Dropout.

Maybe when we add the reply back we can also add a watermark to it to show the meme came from a reputable funny place as well.

- Comment on Google is shaking up its compensation to incentivize higher performance 5 weeks ago:
For engineers at least it’s always been a pain.
L4 (the starting point) -> L5 is expected within a few years. After that it’s a fucking crapshoot. You can be stuck in L5 the rest of your career.

Needs more jpeg. I could read that it was a driving school that the van crashed by.
- Comment on Speedrunner already beat Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch 2 5 weeks ago:
It also affects timing of tricks that are “frame perfect”.
If the old version was frame perfect and you had 1/30 frames and now you have 1/60 you’ve made the trick twice as hard.
- Comment on Google is shaking up its compensation to incentivize higher performance 5 weeks ago:
Amazon is doing the same thing.
It’s phrased as giving top tier employees ability to penetrate bands.
In practice you have to be rated Top Tier (which is assigned on a curve and only 5-10 percent of employees will hit) 3 years in a row. So if you have an off year or a new manager then you’re screwed. I’d wager that’s less than 1% of the company that’ll hit that.
For everyone else it was a 10% pay cut. Woo?
