I have no way of responding to this that can’t be interpreted as an insult so I’m just blocking you.

I say this from the bottom of my crusty heart: Fuck linux.

Moonlighter

AND it’s 85% off as part of the spring sale. As a lover of Recettear this was an easy buy for me.

Daniel Mullins will be recognized as a true artist in the coming generations.

Literally never have I seen such detailed, years pre-planned and perfectly delivered mind fuckery.

Across ALL of his games.

He’s insane in the best way.

LIke a modern David Lynch with better grasp of aesthetics.

Me too and I didn’t even play it, just watched a few lore videos about the story and now WHAT ARE THESE TEARS DOING ON MY FACE?!?

Literally everyone does this now and it’s so fucking frustrating.

Vendor: Here’s our latest update, it’s mandatory, if you don’t implement it within 30 days your license will invalidate.

IT Department: *Does the update* Great well now two core tools we need to do daily work aren’t there anymore.

Vendor: Yeah, we removed them for your convenience, well being, user experience, and personal happiness.

IT Department: But we need them otherwise the software is useless to us.

Vendor: Oh in that case, our new product Premium Plus^^tm does those things but isn’t bundled with your tier of product so please cut us a check for the $5k a month difference and you’ll be good to go!

And if I punched him, I’d be the one to go to jail.

If you have enough people to call them an IT team and they DON’T know this, then they aren’t an IT team, just a bunch of people who think they know computers good.

Source: Delayed updates have been policy everywhere I have ever worked since the 90s.

Back before bubblejets existed, it was a fucktonne less frequent.

It’s just like when magahats call themselves patriots.

Wrong in every factual way but no amount of you telling them will make them realize it.

That OP was just another silicon digibro with a profit driven mindset.

If you compared LLM outputs to even just a year ago you’ll realize how stupid your statement is.

But that’s not how corporations view it because the people making the decision aren’t tec people, but beancounters.

Some slick but ignorant C-suite gets the bright idea that AI is The Way and makes the call to lay off a bunch of people.

I BET that is what Hasbro is thinking for DnD, and I am absolutely certain some of their recent content is AI, and that’s why they canned most of the real people involved.

No corporate website respects you in the slightest, they are just greedy for your metrics.

Agreed.

People seem to forget that in the past you didn’t run a constant antivirus on your computer constantly, and would just occasionally run a scan if suspicious activity happened. At least until malicious web activity became so bad and everyone HAD to run antivirus.

We are approaching that point for web blockers.

No but the good blockers give you the power to disable elements on a case by case basis.

Removing the background image for fandom wiki articles makes them load 3x faster.

Every justification made for webapps are transparent lies to get access to more user data.

I am so fucking tired of corporations lying with no consequences to the detriment of their customers.

You can still order and provision leased lines, some security companies use them as secondary heartbeat monitors.

Also, this exact reason was why I always had 2 sealed copies of Win95 floppy insall in a desk drawer till CD drives were affordable.

I mean, you can’t send someone a handful of candy in an email right?

I knew tubes were the superior technology.

Oh man I’ve always loved the angular aesthetics of Japanese game consoles. They really looked like the equipment I hoped would become the future of computer aesthetics when I dreamed of a digital future in the early 80s.

Our equivalent to the APF TV Fun was the Magnavox Odyssey though its controllers were separate and they did have a reset button but I don’t recall any game function other than the dials. My neighbor had one but his son always wanted to play on our Atari instead so I never actually got a chance to see what the Magnavox paddles could do.

It’s amazing how far we’ve come, in game and peripheral design. In a lot of ways the disappointment of not having the ‘retrowave aesthetic’ as the mainstream for electronic hardware is lessened by just how f%&kdamn amazing games look nowadays.

I am so fuckdamn tired of having products taken away ‘to meet customers needs more effectively’.

Companies that make shittastic public statements like this should be subject to legal punishment.
