Fair! I’m in web so wouldn’t know either. What kind of software do you work in? I’ve been thinking about jumping careers lately after realising that I quite like architecting a more complex system, and sort of hate working with front end web dev😂

Interesting!
What kind of system would allow for that? Would queueing help?

Way too late, what a fucking dork loser. Hope the business crashes and burns (although we all know it won’t)!

Ah yeah that’s a tricky one. I guess as developers we’d all like to be ambitious and plan for millions of users but that sort of hardware and architecture takes time and money that might not be realistically in the budget/scope.
I’ve also not really got insight as to who would have a say on that kind of architecture, whether that’s PMs or devs. Probably higher-ups, right?

I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t know Helldivers 2 – what basic launch features were/are missing?

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 3 weeks ago:
Isn’t Marvel Rivals free? And uses very recognisable, well known and beloved characters? I agree that sex sells, I just think this particular comparison might have other factors when it comes to how active the game is lol

Haha yeah that’s what I mean; the marketers at work are constantly blathering on about how we need to develop for ChatGPT and it’s just like… Fuck off 😂
- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 4 weeks ago:
They’re building the internet for AI now, and were building it for advertisers for years before that, what with SEO choking up search results.
What should have been a wonderfully expressive, collaborative, and unifying medium is just being completely ravaged.
I, unfortunately, work in web development.

Or that prehistoric women and girls were extraterrestrial beings who, by and large, simply teleported away and died off-world, thus not leaving remains for us to find.
Hale-Bopp is absolutely chock full of the remains of prehistoric women. It’s crazy up there. Can’t even play hopscotch, what with all the femurs and skulls everywhere.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 5 weeks ago:
They won’t get any kind of reckoning that we’ll understand. They’re rich, powerful, and insulated from pain. They’ve all got golden parachutes via their weaselly networks. There will be no karma.

- Comment on The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games? 2 months ago:
Omg absolutely! With the “not holding your hand” thing, I think a lot of the magic and enigmatic feeling of the PS2 games catalogue is that you’d only hear about Easter eggs, rather than knowing theyre in the game via dlc listings in storefronts or anything. They felt weird and slightly messed with understanding how big games were. Even up to Halo 3 with that weird developer monkey family and Black and White 2 where it would whisper your windows account name if you played after 10pm?
Games were just slightly hostile back then, or at least had the developer’s agenda in mind rather than the marketing algorithm’s

Unless you get shat on by a bird; in which case, everyone tells you it’s good luck, but ultimately you’re still covered in bird shit.

Do you miss how weird and liminal some of the games on this system were? Maybe it’s because of the magical thinking of a child, but even the startup screen and disc read failed screen were so… Weird? Freaky? I don’t know, I know there’s plenty of indie games now and plenty of shovel ware on current gen but it feels different, there was a strange magic to some games on the PS2 that seems to be sort of inimical
