• Halo 2
• TLoZ:OoT
• Half Life

I can’t deny that nostalgia has to do with the first two fossils in the list, though I still maintain that I like them more than their latest counterparts in their franchises.
Not Half Life though: it was ~15 years old when I first played it, no nostalgia there.

Still, between the many games I would gladly build a monument to, those are games that I can play beginning to end without getting bored, annoyed or burnt out (as long as you allow me to use the Ship Of Harkinian randomizer for Z:OoT, otherwise replace that game with Perfect Dark ig).

90€ + 50€ • DLC? Isn’t that too little for the poor record-profit industry titans with budgets in the billions and nonsensical brand loyalty all over the world?

Javascript took the wrong turn and ended up in [object Object]

Why didn’t they use a calculator then?

The CIA is hiding something

BTRFS lets me backup my stuff more conveniently too, although it does start throwing a tantrum if you run out of space due to COW…

I have several (at least 5) BTRFS filesystems, on SSDs and HDDs of varying speeds, with somewhat longer cache writeback and commit times, AND some wire problems that trip my apartment breakers once or twice every month;
I’ve been using BTRFS for about a year and a half, and at worst I suffered loss of newer data.

That’s why I recommended Dr. K’s take and Ross’, they didn’t lean into the drama.
Though, most of the critiques against Jason I’ve heard are sound; while it’s true that dramatubers search every nook and cranny of his past for slander, they find more stuff than any reasonably sympathetic person should have to be found.

The (alleged) swatting didn’t happen before “The End Of SKG”.
I also don’t think he deserves cancellation, but he has lied so many times, so confidently and so unrepentantly that he deservers very little credibility.

I understand that some people would feel sympathy for the somewhat excessive negative attention he got (not from me, he lost my sympathy the first time I saw him blatantly lying and lobbing insults) but with the way he ALWAYS behaved, he absolutely had some of it coming.

From the 5-10 min of his videos

There’s the problem: you won’t get evidence of a murder if you ask the murderer for it.
He streams a lot, so the things he says or does are spread out, especially if you’re only looking for noticeably damning stuff like the rim job related rant against SKG.

His confidence and speechcraft makes him very good at steering conversations by lying or deflecting, as long as you trust what he says.

Good places to start looking may be his conversation with Dr. K or Ross’ “The end of Stop Killing Games” on Youtube, both are hosted by level headed people;
I can only assume you haven’t seen the latter, because at the very least it makes it very apparent why people dislike him.

Some of them may be invalidated, keep dispensing them people!

I don’t share the feeling. I’ll gladly tie a M$ shareholder to a chair, force them to watch me play Perfect Dark, and say “man I love these AI settings, I wish they made AI like they used to”.

The term “Artificial Intelligence” has been around for a long time, 25 years ago AI was an acceptable name for NPC logic in videogames. Arguably that’s still the case, and personally I vastly prefer “Artificial Intelligence” to “Broad Simulation Of Common Sense Powered By Von Neumann Machines”.

In defense of people who say LLMs are not intelligent: they probably mean to say they are not sapient, and I think they’re loosely correct if you consider the literal word “intelligent” to have a different meaning from the denotative “Intelligence” in the context of Artificial Intelligence.

0.4889 / 7 chance of failure, naively accounting for Windows’ market share and assuming the user is sufficiently privileged (according to LostXOR’s comment, I stand corrected)

Tbh, despite the horrible UX I wouldn’t even be mad if I saw the month dialog in the wild

In fact, depending on my mood, someone may have to figure out which month Deculyuary is.

It sounds like you’re suggesting single-letter variable/function/class names everywhere

Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than without—AI makes them slower.

Who is surprised, though?

What did Han do this time?
