My brother was like, “can you believe the price? I was gonna get it on launch!”

I was like, “what makes you think you’ll get it at launch?”

Losers eating up supplies as usual being parasitic middle men and screwing over regular customers. I’m not even gonna try until I can get it normally with a receipt and warranty and stuff.

That’s crazy because there’s no way in the modern day that I’d like to demo anything that hasn’t been tested.

I would say that paying for grocery delivery and cooking it yourself is better. Like, I live in the middle of nowhere, I get it … these services are eye wateringly expensive.

Also, they squeeze their workers.

I mean, it’s our work the result should belong to the people.

I understand the message but for those suffering, be forewarned, not everyone can understand what you’re going through. People that love you and care about you will just stare at you and say: “umm … okay”. It is not a judgement against them or their character that they don’t understand it.

I say that as someone that was clinically depressed. It was helpful for me, and I can only speak for myself, but try to find others that are feeling the same way and talking to them. It’s far easier to speak to others that “get it”. That’s not to say you shouldn’t open up to your friends … I have and I don’t regret it. However, don’t expect everyone to understand what you’re going through.

I see a lot of downvotes from people. Listen, it’s okay to disagree and we can have discussions about it. None of the comments so far are offensive or anything. Tell these people why you disagree.

I mean, I played Firewatch. It’s part suspense and mystery but I felt there was a possible romance angle there that is hard to deny. You can make it platonic and straightforward but I remember feeling quite connected to the person on the other line.

Then again, I’m twice the age of a “teen” so I don’t know if it fits.

Yeah … I mean why not keep going with other things to R&D? The game industry is apparently full of these types of shenanigans.

Remember the:

Personal computers were “bicycles for the mind.”

I guess with AI and social media it’s more like melting your mind or something. I can’t find another analogy. Like a baseball bat to your leg for the mind doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I know Primeagen has turned off copilot because he said the “copilot pause” daunting and affects how he codes.

It’s a what-now?

I quite liked the Kinect btw.

I heard they invested a lot into Unknown 9 and it turned out to be a dud.

Had a friend buy his second or third Rolex and we were all new grads. I was broke as hell at the time so it surprised me he was buying watches the price of a car right out of uni (and his parents just bought him an apartment so he lived in a different world).

He was telling me how this watch is gonna increase in value so it’d be stupid not to get it.

I never said it and only thought about it, but I was thinking that if you were buying it as an investment, why are you wearing it? Why not keep it at home？ It could get stolen or lost or broken. But I guess I have brokey mentality.

I remember Thor from PirateSoftware talking about that … a lot of kids only know touchscreens.

I guess they’re all paying Trump to make sure a Lina Khan will never get there …

Reminds me of a bash.org quote that’s something along the lines of: “the last time I’ve had a piece of ass was when my finger ripped through the toilet paper”

I followed him back on O&A and watched his small bits to his Breaking Bad stuff and everything… seen him like 5 times live. I love his body of work … old to new.

His “fuck you” attitude is one that makes me wish I’d have a friend like Bill calling my ass out. I love it.

We hired a DBA that put a read lock on a production database table and went out to lunch.

Not sure what you mean. They needed more NFTs and AI from what I can tell! /s

Honestly though whenever I hear big companies like this fail, it keeps making me go back to the Steve Jobs interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlBjNmXvqIM

I sound like a corporate shill but like, I don’t know if this is due to abuse.

GitHub actions and certain things were free until the crypto bros started abusing it. There are certain challenges that happen at scale.
