A fun part of low level programming is that you spend like 15 minutes going "what the fuck why isn't this working" only to realize you didn't build the project, and then you build it and realize it worked fine originally after you revert your desperate refactoring.

Been playing The Crew Motorfest and trying to figure out why, aside from the obvious mechanical deficiencies, that game is so profoundly off-kilter and I think it's because it's made for Car Perverts and not people who like cars.

Cool, so I'll just pencil this into the vacant slot in my calendar that says "game I'm absolutely too dumb to make it more than 3 puzzles into" ahead of time.

They should simply make all food spicy. I'm sorry non-spicy people, you gotta take this one for the team, I simply need collectivized transit to flavor town.

Successfully solving the Steam Controller ordering puzzle by not having $100 for a Steam Controller. Checkmate, money havers.

It's cool that Valve is making hardware, but I really wish they cared to be good at it. I know like a half dozen people with Steam Decks, and of that group, 3 of them have bricked themselves at some point out of warranty, including mine which is dead until I work up the courage to strip it apart.

I Tried To Watch The Miami GP And All I Got Was My Apple Account Locked

So... like, in the context of a password recovery page, what does this even fucking mean man? Moved Permanently? Its account recovery! How could it move in the last 5 minutes?! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

With all due respect to @nogodsnomayors.com, I am currently dealing with Apple's account system throwing a 404 instead of letting me reset my password, and I think everyone in charge of anything at that company should be tied to an anchor.

Pretty sure Paste is the only place any actual piece of paid games writing I ever did still existed. Cool.

I am one of those people, and even though I didn't stick it out, remain eternally grateful.

Ah, I see we've reached the "my laptop is too old for the open source game engine" stage. Hehe kill me pls.

I'm losing my mind, y'all.

The longer this goes on, the less and less I understand the drive to step up to the plate and piss people off for the thing that will delete your entire tech stack when you ask it to send an email. You distribute Linux you rubes, you should ship with basically nothing installed.

This is stupid bullshit, and another in a line of people in charge of things being obscenely out of touch, but it's amusing to see people go "I'm switching to Maya". Pretty sure Autodesk, a company even more unhinged and abusive than Adobe, is not the moral high ground you think it is.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

Yeah dude, because it was fuckin good and had good ideas. We've gotten so used to big shows with extremely experienced leads helmed by extremely, specifically experienced production teams that cost like half a billion dollars that all of TV is just straight up busted now.

Lmao, vile. This is just straight up vile.

Somewhere in the back of my brain there's a little guy just singing the Big O theme song, but only the part where they say Big O over and over.

I wasn't gonna post this here, I would have been content to see the YouTube algorithm get it like 10 views, but got nothing. If you wanna watch me making something for my makerspace and rambling while dipping my toes back into video stuff, here ya go.

BAFTA is certainly not alone in this type of nonsense, but they do seem genuinely committed to being as cowardly as humanly possible over the last couple of years in ways that remain staggeringly insulting to everyone that has ever engaged with any type of work they've ever featured in any context.

@britsnakitan.bsky.social lol, lmao

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

What's there to wrap your head around? He was given up by a cult of force witches and tortured into being a super jedi killer before being cut in half and ending up on a trash planet with a weird snake freak and then getting off said planet to find his brother Savage Oppress and taking over Mandalo

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

This absolutely fucking whips, holy shit

Noodlin again

I am getting the urge to make a giant gameboy

It's probably a bad sign that my laptop is old enough the rubber feet are dry rotting off it.

*whispers* Every mech show is about being sad in a robot, except Patlabor which is about being horny for the robot.

You’ll find that every American art industry is pivoting to not making anything, has been for 10-15 years, and there are charts about profit from this that you’re not allowed to argue with. The fake promise of AI has only made this worse. It’s awesome

Got like halfway through auditing @papapishu.bsky.social's recent buglight post, and thought, "I should thank Chris for this". And then I got to the QRTs and now I'm a little scared of the reading comp on display.

I literally didn't even have time to finish GreedFall 2. I bought it because I was worried this would happen, but that's rough.

Unironically I was about to post something about Superhive, a large Blender addon marketplace, doing literally this same thing and make this same point like 5 minutes before this story ran, because it's wild how this is *the* only playbook for this stuff.

Could we get one instance where one occurrence of stupid bullshit doesn't erase something as significant as TSA agents being wildly racist constantly and stealing sensitive scan images and distributing them amongst themselves in support of mostly pointless security theater.

Falling out of a tower-sized ice cream because you didn't place your ladder on a firm flat surface? Couldn't be me.

Lmao, imagine caring at all what Mike Ybarra thinks after he helped drive Blizzard off a cliff and dipped to go do some (legally not a crime at the moment for some reason, but otherwise indistinguishable from rote criminality) gambling slop.

The original GreedFall grew on me over time, so I'll see the second one through, but the UX is curiously bad for a game that was in Early Access. I'm constantly pressing the wrong buttons and even well into the second area nothing about it feels intuitive.

Everything we learn about this really just calls into question what in the world Digital Foundry could have possibly been thinking. Everyone else's alarm bells went off at deafening volume, and they seemed genuinely to have not even smelled a whiff of smoke.

Lmao, shout out to the Superhive team for drastically reducing the amount of Blender addons I rely on, and ensuring that I literally cannot afford to give them money for stuff on the off chance they decide to retroactively demand more money, and lock my broke ass out of tools I rely on, in one move.

We're somehow not past the motorcycle dealerships playing Van Halen era, which has lasted like 20 years, but we have to be getting close.

It's wild that a high water mark for a game like this is "has read a history book at some point and taken notes", but hey.

What is it about AI dogshit that makes literally everyone ensorcelled by it immediately double down?

had to make this games industry compilation after hearing digital foundry's really bad response to the dlss 5 backlash
