Not reading the article, watchlist/wishlist whatevered.

Turns out that if you were doing software development but using wires instead, it’s even more cumbersome, difficult and open to shitty solutions that other idiots before you tried out, and will also be fixed by idiots after you.

Because you know, solutions to problems are hard. And we all suck.

I mean, the title and situation is a lot more straightforward than the nuance behind his reasoning and the history of the band.

“dubious sources” it’s russia.

Your name is now Johnson Johnson?

you forgot the part where you have to rebase your branch and that causes merge conflicts that were resolved later but somehow still persists.

TFW you want to do things good, slow and expensive, but management makes you do them fast, cheap and crap.

For your entire career.

Please kill me

Some people hated it, but I never saw it. I installed the portal mod for Garry’s mod and played narbacular drop while waiting for the release.

shoutout to Andrews & Arnold, best ISP in the uk. I called to stop using them because I was leaving the country forever and they were like “good, what else do you want?” MFs gave zero shits and gave great high speed service.

I was under the impression that while streaming was garbage for money that touring was the cash cow. Apparently it’s a loss for these artists.

why you do this - a self documentary from car bomb on why people still make music/tour despite monetary hardship.

There are tech death musicians out there that give some classical composers a run for their money that still have day jobs, mostly in computer programming of some kind.

(side note : turns out that technical death metal appeals to the same kind of people that enjoy working on applied mathematics. who could have guessed)

Live action Sealab with joxer/ted raimi

great, now I need to use an AI to explain the plot of Baldur’s gate as carl from ATHF… and again as Philomena Cunk

EDIT : Gemini sucks at being Carl, but is ok as Cunk

explain the plot of baldur’s gate 3 to me as if you are Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Alright, listen up, meatwad. So, there’s this game, Baldur’s Gate 3, right? It’s like this crazy RPG where you’re this dude, or dudette, or whatever, who gets possessed by this mind flayer. These things are like giant squid-octopus-alien-nightmare things.

Anyway, you wake up in this weird, dark place and you’re all messed up. You gotta fight your way out, and along the way, you meet a bunch of weirdos. There’s this horny elf, a grumpy dwarf, and a shadow creature who’s always hungry. You know, the usual.

You gotta solve puzzles, fight monsters, and make some tough choices. Like, do you kill this guy or let him live? It’s a big deal, meatwad. You could screw up the whole world! And there’s this hot elf chick who’s totally into you. You gotta be careful, though, 'cause she might be playing you.

So yeah, it’s a pretty wild ride. Lots of action, lots of weird stuff, and a whole lot of decisions. Just like real life, but with more monsters and less taxes.

Philomena cunk, explain the plot of Baldur’s gate 3

So, there’s this game, Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s about a bunch of people who go on a big adventure, I think. They fight monsters, cast spells, and have a lot of arguments about very silly things. It’s a bit like Lord of the Rings, but with more swearing and less hobbits.

They’re all trying to stop this bad guy, but they keep getting distracted by shiny objects and tasty-looking mushrooms. And there’s this one character who’s obsessed with their own reflection, which is very silly.

I don’t really understand why anyone would want to play it, but apparently, people think it’s very clever. I suppose it’s better than watching paint dry.

steal an ancient evil artifact from a dragon’s lair

well, if the dragon is doing evil things with that evil artifact, you’re probably motivated to steal the artifact regardless of your financial status

I JUST posted this in the McMahon seperation thread, fucking hell

as a turk, I feel shame

Valve buys up dev teams that are about to shake the industry up. Valve haven’t actually been the ones to make something new in a long time. TFC, CS, Portal, DoD, L4D, Alien Swarm, Dota 2… were all made by outside dev teams that Valve absorbed and put their name on.

I mean, that’s the entire point they have at valve. They want to get the people with talent recognition and resources. That’s why they did all that stuff with the tf2 asset store. Fuck it, the community is better than us than making maps. let’s get them to make maps, sell a thing that puts money to the map maker’s hands.

Oh, these kids are awesome, they would do wonders with more money and an audience. Fuck it, here you go. Oh BTW, old man murray was an awesome site, let’s get the writers behind that a steady paycheque and have them write the story for these kids and their wacky princess portal wall thing.

What’s that, they want to use our cornerstone IP universe? Eh, fuck it, why not.

We can’t make shitloads of games, let’s just make it so that when people want to sell games, we can host the games. Fuck it, we just cornered the PC gaming distrobution scene.

Microsoft might fuck people over with their OSes? Fuck it, let’s extend and contribute to linux in a symbiotic way, then people don’t have to rely on MS to game on PC.

etc, etc.

valve isn’t about making games, it’s about extending the pc gaming ecosystem and making it so that people with talent get money, and people who want to play games can play them, and to bridge the gap between the two.

well, he didn’t mention that in the bloody video. I blame Patrick Stewart for making me look like a fool.
