Crazy to know that Cleopatra was born closer to the creation of Halo: Combat Evolved than to the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I have a cool blog I made for class with lots of techy stuff. Can you check it out and tell me what you think?

As a person who hates phones, I love this game. I got accepted into the beta a week or two ago and having a game that doesn’t require me to touch my phone all the time is my favorite thing.

The only thing that would make it better is integration with other smart device step counters. Being able to play (more like progress I guess) a phone game while not even carrying my phone would be hilarious. I am sure you’re getting hounded by people about this non-stop.

I don’t they were holding back. Hitler isn’t particularly known for his restraint. It was just more rudimentary technology. There were only around 2000ish planes on either side, and they weren’t committing everything every day. The planes were smaller, the bombs weren’t as destructive, and targeting was pretty basic. They absolutely did tons of damage, but it took months.

Carrying out a similar engagement today would level a city in hours, maybe days.

Truly one of the worst adaptions ever made. It’s astonishing that people might have actually tried and worked hard to make this heap of garbage.

Usually, in trash movies/TV you can see the vision at least and understand how maybe studio executives, or lack of technology, or even lack of ability destroyed the project. The kernel of what originally sold it is still there. But with Halo, I didn’t see any of that. Everything was bad. Nobody cared, and nobody tried.

Yeah, about a year ago when all the “wow, lemmy really feels like an edgy early internet discussion forum” threads were popping up, I think people forgot that those early forums were just eternal flame wars between communists and anarchists.

The US is the really annoying parent in a grocery store counting to 3 over and over to try to get their child under control.

I hope Madison is doing OK today.

Hurts so bad to get your 1 in 1000000 dream job to get sexually harassed out of it.

I find that when you know how to use Github, Github is pretty easy and close to perfect for what it is, a code repository.

I think that most people who stumble across a Github link through a Google search, probably like in the original post, want to treat it like an app store. The read.me is the description, so they can tell it kind of does what they need, but they’re missing a big, green download and install button.

The problem with github isn’t really a problem. It’s just accessible enough to borderline tech people who want a one click solution to a problem. They can find it, but using it requires more skill than they have. It’s a code repository, not an app store. The most useful things I find on github aren’t from some massive app developer, they’re from some guy who happened to have the same problem as me. Rather than screaming at that guy for an executable, level up. Learn something.

I really liked the side quests though. It felt like every single one involved going to a cave, finding out the NPC’s friend/relative was dead, and then report back. It definitely didn’t get old after the first dozen or so.

Also, the Merlin trials were great. Hundreds of locations, but only like 6 different puzzles.

I haven’t played a game where the devs copy/pasted that much in a while.

It does make a waffle sandwich. They aren’t bad.

But, it takes about 10 minutes to cook, then 5 minutes to get hot enough to make another. So if you’re just making it for yourself, it’s fine. But if you’re wanting to make them for like more than 2 people, it’s a problem.

Uh, last I checked, Britannia rules the waves, not the Falklands. Checkmate, Margaret.

I disagree.

If the story is true, Tim coaches the new hires and on boards them into the environment. Tim serves as a sound board for the senior techs, since he’s privy to the larger departmental scope. He is the point of contact for the team.

The manager telling the story needs to be fired. Tim is doing his job.

The manager here only serves to add a layer between Tim and management that is ultimately unnecessary, as the story proves.

Fire the manager. Promote Tim.

Gesundheit.

This is so true. My dad taught be to be responsible with alcohol, and he did it without throwing a rager and then begging a bunch of teens to be responsible and practice temperence.

We just had a beer and watched some kung fu movies and talked about it. My kids will get the same treatment.

I feel like everyone knows of some dumb parent because they threw a rager, because “If they’re going to drink, they should do it in a safe space,” and then got the book thrown at them over an underage DUI case. I’d argue that a party is an inherently unsafe space for kids to learn about alcohol. There’s too much going on, too much peer pressure, and too much alcohol to be yourself and learn your limit.

Exactly. Every new game doesn’t have to be an instant classic that breaks new ground. But they should be functional, playable, and have enough polish to be considered finished. That doesn’t necessarily mean bug free, but we all know what a finished game looks like, and what one doesn’t.

The worst one I’ve ever personally played was the Lego Hobbit game. My wife and I used to line up kamikaze shots and play Lego games, figuring a child and a drunk adult were about the same level. The game stops when Smaug flies out of the mountain. Roll credits. I guess the last movie did so poorly that they never bothered making the rest of the game.

It’s a FOMO, bigger is better, kind of thing. I think some people came here looking for a replacement, which can’t happen, instead of looking for a community, which can.

True, because it’s also a giant Ponzi scheme. We pick up new debt today to pay off debt from yesterday, and we hope expanding GDP and inflation will always offset the difference.

Some times not financially or psychologically, and they also make my wife mad when I fat finger some config.
