I watched “Intelligence” this week, a British comedy featuring David Schwimmer and Nick Mohammed. It was pretty awful.

Now looking for a new lunchtime show to watch.

Beef Wellington is quite exciting I’d say.

Thanks for this, almost every day can be a challenge but that’s what I signed up for when I switched to software development! I’ll keep what you’ve said in mind and try to put it to practice 🙂

Over a year in as a junior dev and I’m still in the second stage. I did 6 months backend and now I’m now entering my 6th month as frontend. I still know so little, but I know more than I did yesterday.

My biggest challenges:

• I don’t know what questions to ask when it’s about something I don’t know.
• Having a rough idea as to how I want to try and solve a problem, but not knowing how to code it
• Trying to retain so much new information on a daily basis and then remember everything from the days before
• (What I hope is) Imposter Syndrome on a weekly basis

I just keep on trying, try to understand what I can and ask for help when I feel I’m at a blocker.

This is well deserved. When the game first launched I could tell something was off about it. It obviously had a dreadful launch.

I can’t remember how many years later I was in the mood for a space exploration and saw NMS had an update. I grabbed it for about £8. Since purchasing it seeing constant substantial updates has been amazing. Every time one comes out I think “Ok guys, you’ve redeemed yourselves, you’re allowed to stop now!”

I like to work on a £1 per hour with my games, I’ve played 85 hours (I know, rookie numbers compared to what some people have) and I’m really pleased with my purchase.

Seeing the pride they have in their game and the efforts they have gone to to make the game they wanted and the lessons Hello Games have learnt, it leaves me looking forward to Light No Fire.

Poor management decisions, drive for profit over making something people will truly love.

FFXVI was made by CBU3 who saw major success with FFXIV. I feel like with the release of the Dawntrail expansion it shows they took their best people to work on FFXVI and it hindered the expansion. Additionally they aimed to cater the game to a completely different crowd than those who loved the previous FF games up to X.

This reminds me of The Human Chair

I enjoyed Anthem’s concept, the problem was that it was incomplete. The problem with live service games is that their primary objective is to make as much money as possible with minimal effort.

Anthem had potential, but it was ditched by EA.

Ctrl+shift+esc was so useful back when I learned it. I still see people press ctrl+alt+del and click to open task manager. Or alternatively (but not as bad imo) right clicking on the start button and selecting to open task manager

First the robots were taking our jobs, now our magic?! What’s next?

I always suppress my sneezes, they sound like squeaks and people laugh. One time I decided during a cold to see what would happen if I just let the sneeze out. I feel like the clip is a close representation of how it felt, it hurt so much and there was far too much snot, I couldn’t comprehend how I’d produced the quantity now on show and how the hell it was all packed into my face pre-sneeze.

Never again.

I remember installing CounterStrike before Steam, and then an update forcing Steam install, it was around the years Warcraft 3 came out. I’m sure it was a thing before HL2

I feel like one goal of this is to get rid of the blockers from housing development so that the government can try to reach their targets. I doubt we’ll see any improvements to waste collection, especially as in my area they are looking at changing the collection to every 2 weeks…

When the API changes came in on Reddit it appeared to cause quite a few people to shift to Lemmy, but not that many. I’ve said this before in other posts but the onboarding experience for Lemmy is awful for your average joe. From what I’ve read it was the same situation for Mastodon and that is why Bluesky took off instead.

There needs to be a clear concise point of entry for new users to the Fediverse that empowers users to quickly customise what they want to see. Most people don’t care about how the Fediverse works and its benefits, they just want to consume content.

If I were technically capable and had the drive to do so I’d create a single onboarding site that would ask the user a few preference defining questions, chuck them on an instance that is relevant and apply some filters so they don’t get spammed with anime posts if that isn’t their thing. Oh and maybe show a couple of mobile apps.

Long Term Service Channel. It’s a branch that is used by devices that may not be recommended to be on the latest version of Windows, for example ATMs. When the device needs to essentially be consistently reliable and not received feature updates that could potentially break it.

I too can vouch for one of these. Great for removing a lot of fur. Anything left over I have to use a lint roller.

Sure, but we had Bonzi Buddy too. These days the best we can hope for is some AI that tells us to eat rocks.

I don’t play DRG, just wondering how it has been ruined? I see potency increases to various things to I assume offset the reduction in nastrond charges.

Most surprising changes for me are the Dark Knight changes and Esuna being made instant.
